Conflict On The Set Of BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS?

When writing about the new trailer for Teddy Chen's Bodyguards And Assassins just a couple days ago I commented on how it was, frankly, a little bit underwhelming. Could this be why?

According to published reports, after clashing with producer Peter Chan, director Teddy Chen walked off set for two weeks and was replaced for that period by Andrew Lau Wai-Keung. Chan and Chen would later patch up their differences with Chen eventually returning to the helm, but this sort of conflict - particularly in the middle of photography - never bodes well.
