Recently, the tour of Chinese actress Trieu Lo Tu caused discussion. Many people paid attention to the detail that the unit named to apply for a tour permit, as well as the legal representative of Dap Nhi Tam Tu Beijing company that Trieu Lo Tu just established last year, were both a man named Ly Vy.
That is the person who discovered Zhao Lusi 10 years ago, when she was still just a girl filming comedy videos online, and also the former CEO of Galaxy Cool Entertainment - Zhao Lusi's former management company.
In August last year, Trieu Lo Tu publicly posted an article criticizing her old company. At that time, rumors that she had to face a contract violation compensation of up to 400 million CNY made everyone think that she would go bankrupt and have to leave the entertainment industry.
But in the end, most of the money was exempted. The old company was later acquired by Hujing Entertainment - part of the Alibaba ecosystem - while Trieu Lo Tu switched to signing a new S-class contract with a 30-day annual leave clause.
Even more surprisingly, Ly Vy is willing to humble himself to become her personal manager. In the Chinese entertainment industry, there are few similar cases.
Ly Vy used to be the youngest program producer of Hunan Television. In 2014, he founded Galaxy Cool. The first season of the "Hoa tinh tinh bao cuc" program produced by the company once caused a fever.
In 2016, during a trip to Chengdu to find guests for the program, Ly Vy met Trieu Lo Tu - who at that time only played very small roles in the program.
She does not have a professional manager, no resources and no support. Ly Vy immediately saw the potential in her, brought her to Hengdian and began to plan career development from scratch.
Works such as "Tran Thien Thien in Rumors", "Tinh Han Xan Lan" or "Truong Ca Hanh" were all built during that period.
At its peak, more than 70% of Galaxy Cool's revenue came from Zhao Lusi alone. She is considered the company's "money-making machine".
By 2023, everything began to change. Ly Vy withdrew from the leadership of Galaxy Cool, sold all shares and declared that he had nothing more to do with the company.
Also in that year, when extending the contract, the new leadership changed the profit sharing ratio from 5:5 to 7:3, in which the company enjoyed 70%, and Trieu Lo Tu only received 30%.
The compensation for contract violations is said to have been increased to 400 million CNY, with the contract term extended to 2030.
After Wei Yuan took over the company, the treatment for Zhao Lusi decreased sharply, even private management was cut.
In December 2024, Trieu Lo Tu had health problems during filming "Lover". She was seen in a wheelchair going for examination with a haggard appearance. Immediately after that, the management company announced that Trieu Lo Tu temporarily stopped operating.
The actress revealed that she was depressed and her health was affected by prolonged work pressure.
In August 2025, Trieu Lo Tu caused a shock when she spoke out accusing Galaxy Cool of "squeezing" artists, withdrawing money from her personal studio, causing her financial and health losses.
At that time, rumors about a compensation of 400 million CNY spread everywhere, causing the actress to be ridiculed and predicted to retire.
At that moment, Ly Vy stood up to support Trieu Lo Tu to work with a lawyer to carry out contract termination procedures.
After that, Hujing Entertainment bought Galaxy Cool, helping Trieu Lo Tu's wish fulfillment process to take place more smoothly.
According to sources, the final compensation of 400 million CNY is only about 50 million CNY, along with the renunciation of part of the ownership of old works.
This is also a milestone for Trieu Lo Tu to return to activities after the biggest upheaval in her career.
