"Five whole days, finally a reply has come..."
"Good job to the production crew, standing their ground against netizens. If I’m going to cast this person, then that’s how it’s going to be, isn’t it?"
"Anyway, since the production crew has said so, I believe them. I trust the director’s vision, please look forward to it."
"I... still have some doubts, are you sure this statement isn’t just a brush-off?"
"You could think of it as a brush-off if you want, or you could think of it as a serious response, I believe it’s the latter."
After the production team’s official Weibo post, netizens had mixed opinions. Aside from a minority who felt like it was a perfunctory response, most actually chose to believe.

Tang Shu thought the matter had ended and began her first job of the new year in Yang Tiantian’s car.
——"The Factory" was going to be performed at the Imperial Capital’s First Theater again.
Backstage at the theater was buzzing with activity.
Actors were applying makeup, rehearsing lines, and staff members wearing work badges were bustling about, creating a lively scene.
When Tang Shu came out of the fitting room, Teacher Yan waved to her.
"Xiao Shu, come here, we need to discuss something together."
All fifteen actors of "The Factory" were present, and Tang Shu saw Master Yan’s smiling face, indicating that good news was likely.
Indeed, the first thing Master Yan said confirmed this suspicion.
"Our ’The Factory’ has been a huge hit recently. Tickets for all eight performances in the coming month are sold out, so you all need to give a good performance."
As soon as these words were spoken, the actresses immediately erupted into excitement.
"Really? Really?! Oh my god, all tickets sold out, do you realize what this means!"
"Good heavens, is our story that popular? Isn’t our theatre company going to make a killing?"
"Not just that, we will be making a killing ourselves, I’m going to buy that sexy hollow-out T-shirt I saw on the weekend!"
The chattering was not interrupted by Master Yan. The old man, who was also an elder in the theatre world, watched everyone discuss with a smile, and gradually their excitement turned into commitments.
The actors promised that they would perform "The Factory" well and would put their utmost energy into it.
"All you need to do is try your hardest, kids, don’t put too much pressure on yourselves," Master Yan said with a smile. "Also, Stagehand Liu from the theatre has just approached me to discuss increasing the number of performances. He wants to go from two shows a week to three. Do you all have the time for that?"
