It turned out that the production team was indeed adept at handling unfavorable news.
When the audition was at its peak of popularity, the official Weibo account of "The Tree at the Doorway" formally responded to the matter, stating that the audition process was conducted openly, transparently, and fairly, and they also hoped that netizens could rest assured that they would deliver a satisfactory story to the audience.
"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."
