After a period of inactivity due to health problems, Zhao Lusi has recently gradually returned to work. However, the actress only took magazine photos, livestreamed with brands... without announcing the filming schedule of "Lover". This raises suspicions that she has stopped filming and withdrawn from the project.
According to Sohu, if she stops filming "Lover", the 9x beauty will have to compensate a huge amount of money. The average cost to complete 1 episode, including actor's salary, location rental, costumes... is about 1.5 million yuan (5.3 billion VND). "Lover" is expected to last 24 episodes. Thus, the total capital to be spent is about 36 million yuan (127 billion VND).
Compensation also depends on the specific contract Zhao Lusi signed with the producer. However, it is certain that this is not a small number, especially for a young actress like Lo Tu.
In addition, the 9x beauty queen will receive a lot of criticism from Peng Guanying fans for accidentally affecting her seniors. She also lost the trust of many other directors when she could not ensure her health to complete the work.
On the contrary, some opinions defend Zhao Lusi because the "Lover" crew had many upheavals related to editing scripts, changing directors... This contributed to the 9x beauty's depression getting worse and having to be hospitalized during filming.
The film "Lover" is adapted from the novel "Unoformed Floating Fish" by author Hera Khinh Khinh. The content revolves around the love story of Nguyen Du (Trieu Lo Tu) and Dang Duc (Banh Quan Anh). While Nguyen Du is excited about life in a big city, Dang Duc wants to escape the chains and arrangements of his family. Although they fell in love, the two lost contact after Nguyen Du's family suddenly had an incident.
Four years later, the couple accidentally met again and had the opportunity to work together. Finding a new direction for his life, Nguyen Du decided to study abroad, continuing to be away from Dang Duc for 4 years. After 8 years apart, the two decided not to miss each other but bravely pursued the love of their lives.
The film was opened in October 2024, directed by Dang Khoa (who made the success of "Du Phuong Hanh", "in the groom" ...) and screenwriter Ma Tu Vu pen. At the end of December 2024, the film had to suspend filming because Trieu Lo Tu had a health problem. Currently, the actress and producer have not yet made an official announcement about the fate of the film.
