Sheng Tang's acting skills were so good that Wen Yu and Feng Yanqiu were both overshadowed.
The result of overpowering performances was that the crew elevated Sheng Tang's screen time and gave Wen Yu some compensatory consolation.
As for Feng Yanqiu, the crew merely had the producer explain the situation.
Producer Wang Xi was eloquent, making many empty promises, saying that in future collaborations, Feng Yanqiu would be given priority consideration and more opportunities in promotions.
Feng Yanqiu remained the male lead, his status unchanged, but the film's theme had shifted.
The film's theme shifted from one woman's career growth, culminating in both professional and romantic success, to the career transformation of two women.
