The popular actress known for hit dramas like Love Like the Galaxy, Hidden Love, and Love's Ambition has officially signed a contract with Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment Group, previously known as Alibaba Digital Media and Entertainment Group.

However, behind the dazzling welcome and the giant LED spotlight in Hujing's main building showcasing various iconic characters of Zhao Lusi, lies a dark story that once shook her career. The path to this new contract was marked by a long conflict and serious allegations with her former agency, Galaxy Cool Entertainment.

1. A New Step with Hujing Digital Media

Zhao Lusi's decision to join Hujing Digital Media is a strong signal that she is ready to open a new chapter. Hujing is one of the largest entertainment companies in China, with extensive connections to various well-known digital platforms, including Youku, the platform where many of Zhao Lusi's dramas are aired.

As a form of welcome, Hujing even displayed Zhao Lusi's face on a giant LED screen at its main building. This step shows how much trust the new agency has in Zhao Lusi and plans to strengthen her image and career, both in the digital realm and on television.

With the support of such a large company, Zhao Lusi has the potential to gain wider access to drama projects, endorsements, and cross-media collaborations. After the difficult times she faced, this decision feels like a breath of fresh air for the actress.

Before officially leaving Galaxy Cool Entertainment, Zhao Lusi was involved in a public feud that became a hot topic on Chinese social media.

The issue started from allegations of unauthorized fund withdrawal. Zhao Lusi claimed that her agency withdrew around 2.05 million yuan from her studio account without clear consent. Amidst this situation, the actress also revealed that when she fell ill and experienced mental health issues in 2024, the agency failed to provide the promised support.

Not only that, Zhao Lusi also mentioned that her hectic work schedule drastically deteriorated her health. She lost up to 36 kilograms, even having to use a wheelchair and temporarily losing her ability to speak.

Instead of allowing her time to recover, the agency reportedly continued to pressure her with heavy contracts and work responsibilities.

3. Counterclaims and Response from the Agency

This dispute then heated up after Zhao Lusi wrote a viral message on social media:

"You don’t need to blacklist me — I quit."

The statement seemed to mark her decision to leave without waiting for the agency's approval. She also accused Galaxy Cool Entertainment of obstructing several important projects and threatened to blacklist her in the industry if she continued to resist.

In response to the allegations, Galaxy Cool Entertainment denied and expressed that they were shocked by Zhao Lusi's statement. They claimed to have never violated the contract or taken unilateral advantage.

However, the public seems to side more with Zhao Lusi, especially after she showed evidence of her deteriorating health condition and medical documentation during the ongoing conflict.

This case has become a major focus in the Chinese entertainment industry as it highlights the imbalance in the relationship between artists and agencies, particularly regarding financial control and the mental health of artists.

4. Rising After Difficult Times
