Seriously i hope she leaves easily like yu shu xin did.
I guess it all just depends on the nature of her contract. If Jaywalk were smart, they’d release her to operate under her own independent studio while maintaining a partnership or collaborative relationship. No need to burn all future bridges.
I love that her cheeks are finally returning . She looks so good and even 10 years younger. I hope she never takes…
I feel like production were just ridiculous because she is already petite and they could've just factored in with styling/make-up. I can also tell by her legs because the knees used to be well-defined and now there's more softness to it.
I am curious, why do you have to be signed by an agency? Why don't they work independently? I read something like…
In China and South Korea, agencies often invest heavily in talent from a very young age. They offer training in acting, performance, media handling etc. In return, the artist signs an exclusive contract, often long-term, that gives the agency significant control over their schedule, image, and income.
Many casting opportunities, endorsements, and roles are arranged through networks and relationships between agencies, producers, and broadcasters. If you're not signed to a known agency, you're much less likely to even be considered. Agencies act as both gatekeepers and facilitators. Independent freelancing is rare unless the actor already has influence and a strong network. It's also cultural preference for hierarchical systems and structured representation.
Lately, there have been too many stories of artists facing issues with their agencies. If she is planning to leave, I genuinely hope it’s a clean, conflict-free transition.
Just thinking out loud here: if anyone finds a baby in a dumpster, isn’t it common practice to bring the baby…
Given the timeframe and rural setting, it makes sense. He admitted he wasn’t going to do anything at first but ultimately couldn’t walk away and leave the baby behind. It was the 90s, lots of public distrust, superstition, and limited resources etc. And since the baby was a boy, that likely factored into his decision too, as sons are culturally idealised. All in all, he did a fine job raising the boy. I wonder if he is Lawyer Sun's son.
I agree with you. Her biggest problem is managing public opinion (not fanbase opinion). She needs a strong team…
If she had established an independent studio under her own name, she might have had the freedom to hire a dedicated PR team to manage the fallout more strategically. But by renewing her contract, she has limited her options, possibly sealing her fate in terms of narrative control. I wonder if she can still hire a PR firm as a private citizen?
Whoever advised her to resign under those conditions clearly wasn't prioritising her long-term interests. In China, going up against a corporate giant like Alibaba (who are the parent company) rarely ends well, unless you have the backing of the state or you are the state.
Sometimes I hope Min Rui will surprise me one day so I can finally consider him one of the best stylists in C-ent—but…
They also need to overhaul the make up artist too, always giving the same powdery look. I like today's look only because I know she would've felt more relaxed but again, MR needs to work with star not the trend. He's obsessed with giving everything a touch of "youthfulness."
I agree with you. Her biggest problem is managing public opinion (not fanbase opinion). She needs a strong team…
Exactly. China places high value on professional harmony and public clashing with her management can be seen as deviance or "difficult" to work with esp since she's still tied to a few unaired works and brand deals. For an actress, having a strong, strategic team is crucial not just for shaping narrative, but for ensuring her image aligns with broader industry and state expectations. It’s not about silencing emotion, but knowing how and when to show it in a way that won’t be seen as disruptive or unstable. The delay in her drama being aired suggests a "silent" ban.
I think what’s going to probably hurt the most and this is just a theory so I’m not sticking a spoiler on…
I saw a scene in the end credit that hasn't shown up yet, is both DY and Madam Zhang breaking down together. I wonder if there is a correlation between that scene and this theory.
🤣🤣🤣 i’m kind of wondering if he has obsessive compulsive disorder or something because he just acts…
The way he grabbed a plastic bag from someone else's desk then proceeded to pack his one frame and left. Only to return a few hours later lol it was so dramatic lol
