The screenwriter of "Ju Lian" has spoken out about the unauthorized changes.
It was stated that Wen Shu repeatedly demanded the screenwriter make changes during filming to highlight her role as the female lead, pressing for her character to be nearly perfect and asking for her screen time to be increased.
In fact, since Wen Shu was the female lead in "Ju Lian," these demands were entirely unnecessary. "Ju Lian" is a show centered around a strong female lead, so naturally, Wen Shu's screen time wouldn't be lacking. Moreover, at that time, she was highly supported by Huasong, so there wouldn't be situations like in other crews where the second female lead brings their own funding to secure more scenes.
However, she wasn't satisfied with just that. The screenwriter, under the director's orders, had to comply with Wen Shu's demands despite their dissatisfaction.
This is also why the ratings of "Ju Lian" plummeted after it aired.
