How much of Road to Empress II needed to be reshot?

I'm kind of curious how much of the sequel needed to be reshot due to the tax evasion issue for one of the actresses. I heard through the grapevine that apparently the reshoots took around 2 weeks, which seems crazy short, especially if this post saying her character is in 40% of scenes (I presume just of the Empress Path) is true and that the sequel in total will have 1200 minutes.

I know in the traditional history that >!Shangguan Wan'er becomes present after Wu Zetian already became the Empress Consort and "dispatched" Wang and Xiao (alcohol may or may not be involved in the game lol), so it's not like she's there from the beginning with all the harem intrigue, but she did become Wu's secretary and drafted her edicts, so I presume she was a big presence afterwards.!< I know the Empress Path is apparently based on a VN, so I'm wondering for those that played it how much screentime she had.
