Mu Chen always uses work as an excuse. Mu Yang's words were in vain, and after chatting for a few sentences, they could only hang up the phone.

After finishing the call with Muyang, the waiter also brought up the dinner that Muyin ordered.

He had just picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites of steamed rice when the phone rang again.

Mu Chen put down his chopsticks, appearing a bit impatient. He thought that Mu Yang was being persistent.

I glanced at the caller ID and realized it was Liang Xiao.

"Hey, Bro Liang, I've only been on set for a day and you're already calling to express your concern. It's really touching, I'm almost in tears." Mu Chen sniffed his nose, he was completely transformed in front of Liang Xiao.

"Stop arguing with me. Liang Xiao remained as serious as ever. "Today on Weibo, I saw the release of the character photos for "Capturing the Stars and Moon". How come Lu Ze is in the same cast as you? When we were negotiating the contract, I had already read the script and the cast list. At that time, apart from the lead actors, the rest of the supporting cast had been pretty much finalized, and I didn't see Lu Ze's name."

In fact, Mu Chen had no idea what was going on. "Liang Ge, don't even mention the time when we discussed the contract a month or two ago. I didn't see his name on the final version of the cast list that I received over a week ago. I only found out that he was also involved in this drama when I ran into him while taking makeup photos in the studio."

Liang Xiao fell silent for a moment on the phone. "We have no right to interfere with the actors chosen by the production team. Just focus on your acting and be more mindful in your daily life."

Half a year ago, Mu Chen and Lu Ze were rumored to be in a relationship. Although the whistleblower, Zhao Simin, came forward to clarify and apologize, it was because she lacked evidence and was scolded by Mu Chen. Mu Chen's actions were supported by many other celebrities, so she had no choice but to do so. What I'm afraid of is that she may apologize on the surface but continue to hold a grudge against Mu Chen. If she catches something with her sneaky actions again, it could be troublesome.

In fact, Mu Chen couldn't figure out why Lu Ze would appear in the "Star Catcher" drama crew. During the Spring Festival, Lu Ze was still filming in the same crew as Mu Yang. It had only been a little over half a month since then. He was a newcomer and also a student, seemingly without a signed contract with any talent agency. How could he have so many roles to take on?

This made Mu Chen quite curious. How did Lu Ze manage to replace the original actor and play the role of his junior brother?

After a brief reminder from Liang Xiao, the two ended their conversation. Curious, Mu Chen ate his meal while using his phone to browse the internet. He entered the name of the actor who was originally supposed to play his junior brother's role.

The search results were filled with harsh criticism, all complaining about the actors being too ugly, and expressing dissatisfaction with the actors' personal aura and the image of the characters themselves.

Mu Chen glanced at the actor's photo. He had an ordinary appearance, but he wasn't ugly.

In the novel, the character of the junior martial brother is portrayed as having a perfect appearance by the author. It's not easy to find an actor who completely fits the role.

In order to minimize the verbal attacks from book fans, the production team decided to replace the actors.

Turning off the webpage, Mu Chen opened Weibo and found the official promotional account of the "Plucking Stars and Embracing the Moon" drama crew. The latest Weibo post from the official account was the makeup photo they took a few days ago.

Opening the comment section, many netizens praised the casting choices of the production crew, stating that the actors' appearances were at least impressive. There were also comments about how the actor playing Shidi, Lu Ze, was much better than the previous performers. Occasionally, a few individuals brought up the past scandals involving Mu Chen and Lu Ze, but their remarks were quickly drowned out by new comments.

Muchen opened Lu Ze's profile picture, dressed in a graceful white gown, looking much more attractive than before.

This appearance-oriented world will not get any better.

"Do my photos look that good? Are they mouthwatering enough for you?"

Just as Mu Chen was looking at the photo, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him, belonging to Lu Ze.
