The incident broke out on the evening of August 2, when the Chinese beauty suddenly posted a post accusing the management company of oppression, causing her to suffer many injustices and mental and financial losses in the past time.
Zhao Lusi emphasized that she had to compensate for the damage herself due to the cancellation of advertising contracts and the disbandment of the film crew of "The Lover" during the time she suddenly fell ill (from December 2024).
The management company promised to take responsibility but in the end there was no satisfactory solution. Zhao Lusi demanded to terminate the contract.
In response, Galaxy Cool Entertainment posted a clarification document, declaring that it is always dedicated to fulfilling the obligations of the management company, and fully supporting Zhao Lusi's career, as well as listening to the artist's wishes to handle the work.
The company especially noted that female artists are public figures, and need to be careful with every word and action to avoid negative impacts on the image of themselves and the collaborators. Galaxy Cool hopes Zhao Lusi will not post more vague content online, which can easily lead to false speculation.
However, immediately afterwards, Zhao Lusi immediately denied it, accusing the company of not proactively contacting her to resolve the conflict. The actress has said she is willing to wait for a lawsuit with the company, even though she knows it could be a very long and tiring process.
After the battle between Zhao Lusi and Galaxy Cool through online posts, the public also had mixed opinions. A part of the audience supported the actress in fighting to terminate her contract.
On the contrary, many viewers believe that Zhao Lusi is in an exaggerated state and mentally unstable. She did not have clear legal evidence and only knew how to use flat words to seek public sympathy.
In response to negative reactions, on the afternoon of August 3, Zhao Lusi suddenly opened a live broadcast on Douyin. The keyword "Zhao Lusi livestream" quickly climbed to the Top 1 trending keyword trend on Weibo.
Zhao Lusi said that she started a livestream to prove that she was very calm and not crazy as many rumors have spread. She was willing to accept the bid to discuss with the company, no matter which direction the matter went, the actress would follow it to the end.
The beauty of "Tinh han han chalan" hopes that everyone will not be led by negative news.
Zhao Lusi's livestream received great attention, at one point about 1.4 million people came to watch it at the same time. The livestream lasted less than 1 hour and recorded more than 30 million views. The actress's Douyin account increased by 280 thousand followers after livestreaming.
On the same afternoon, a post said that Zhao Lusi "wanted to take advantage of public opinion and the online community to achieve the goal of canceling the contract", advising her to solve the problem by law.
The actress responded with the comment: " word and action will definitely have consequences".
