According to page 163, Zhao Lusi is in a difficult situation and is at risk of falling behind the 95 generation of Chinese beauties. Currently, she does not have the resources to support and has not seen any variety shows or invitations to act in films published.
Last December, public opinion was stirred up when the management company on behalf of Zhao Lusi announced a temporary suspension of operations. Zhao Lusi had to be hospitalized for a mild stroke while filming "The Lover".
After that, the actress publicly revealed her medical condition, revealing that she had been suffering from depression for many years, leading to health and mental exhaustion.
After about 1 month of treatment, at the end of January 2025, Zhao Lusi gradually returned to work, participating in advertising events of brands. But so far, there is still no news about the actress returning to the film crew of "The Lover".
According to industry insiders, if an actor falls ill and causes the film crew to stop working, break down the capital chain, or worse, go bankrupt, then that actor cannot protect his rights or be compensated for damages.
Zhao Lusi used the film crew as a " card" to negotiate with the management company to terminate the contract and used her illness as an excuse to put pressure on the management company. But in the end, it caused harm to the innocent film crew.
Industry insiders condemned Zhao Lusi's "sick" strike as a selfish act, causing losses to the film crew. More importantly, ordinary workers in the group may not be paid.
The film crew signed a contract with a management company, the management company has a contract with an artist. If the artist does not comply with the contract, the film crew can only sue the management company.
Many opinions say that Zhao Lusi ignored the general situation to achieve personal goals. And her "favorite medical condition" is too risky, and is likely to be put on the "blacklist" by the entertainment industry.
When the news about Zhao Lusi's illness was first revealed, she gained a lot of sympathy. Among them, many people criticized the film crew for being inhumane.
However, when Zhao Lusi continuously used the "disease theme" to attract attention, the public began to doubt her intentions.
What is even worse is that after recovering, Zhao Lusi continues to use topics such as "depression" to pray for sympathy. This action further deteriorated her reputation.
For a film project, the main actor accounts for the majority of the investment cost. When the emotions and behavior of that actor are not controlled, it is difficult for the project to ensure stability.
Zhao Lusi's "sickness" is a typical example of this type of incident.
No remedial plan was given to the film crew and they had to stop working in a passive manner, causing great losses to investors and affecting ordinary workers.
Facing an artist with unstable emotions over and over again, the way producers protect themselves is not to cooperate with that artist anymore.
Zhao Lusi is suffering the consequences of her thoughtless actions.
Currently, the actress does not have any new film projects, and her variety show has also been suspended. She did not have the opportunity to appear on official platforms and was absent from major red carpet events, gathering most of the entertainment industry's stars.
Zhao Lusi only participated in a few small events and livestream activities advertising for the brand.
