So as long as top C-ent troll producer Yu Zheng is just shooting his mouth off and not hurting anybody it can be quite entertaining and this week there is a new beef he has. He posted about a top C-drama A-list actress who just accepted a new drama that Yu Zheng‘s own agency artist Wu Jin Yan passed on. Yu Zheng said the drama was shit which is why he had Wu Jin Yan pass, and the top actress who accepted it is only doing so for awards consideration. C-netizens are saying he’s shading Yang Zi and her accepting the period female empowerment drama Family Business, reportedly to costar Liu Yu Ning and Wei Da Xun and will start filming in October. Netizens think he’s shading Yang Zi because she’s the only A-list drama actress in recent weeks to accept a new drama casting. As much as I like Wu Jin Yan after The Double, it’s impossible for me to believe a drama she passed on then got to Yang Zi’s hands, Yang Zi is so big in C-ent she gets first dibs on projects alongside Crystal Liu, Zhao Li Ying, and Yang Mi.

I'm indifferent to both actresses, but I'm with Koala in that Yu Zheng was basically trolling on this particular claim. Wu Jinyan is still far from Yang Zi's power level. If there's any (miniscule) truth to Yumama's claim, I'd think the project was MAYBE also offered to several actors (incl Jinyan), but Yang Zi (or her team) liked it & snatched it.
Yu Zheng sounds salty to me for some reason, maybe instead of Wu Jinyan passing on the drama, it was her drama being snatched by Yang Zi? Yang Zi has rumours of snatching dramas from other actresses before, such as taking The Oath of Love from Chen Yuqi.
Snatching dramas now🤣🤣 oh pls we all know you don't like yangzi so in your eyes it's her fault
@Darkangel
There is literal evidence that Chen Yuqi was the original actress for OOL because there are photos of her that leaked from official sources.
Then YZ took over but this is the production's decision. They chose one over the other. Now I can't stand Yang Zi and her horrible acting and I think she ruined OOL but the casting is not her fault. Production decided to switch. It's dumb to deny though that the switch happened because it's a well known fact. Still hardly her fault.
@Lea so I am still right from your words bcs it was the production's decision to switch actresses not yangzi SNATCHING it from her😂
Btw there was no snatching or changing bcs the script was sent to yangzi in June of 2019 when she was in Italy for a var show by the producer and director of the drama. Why would they do that if CYQ was already confirmed for it🤷🏽♀️
Before that both CYQ and Song Zuer were rumored for the too
And also I would love to know the official sources from where the pics of CYQ wss leaked cause I can't find anything on weibo and I don't believe she got changed
Now now, I may not like Yang Zi, but you're being oversensitive. Snatching dramas is pretty common. If you can snatch a drama, obviously it meansthe production team favors you over the other person.
@Lilith this isn't me being oversensitive, it is just me trying to bring out the truth instead.
She didn't snatch this drama so why accuse her of it, you can blame the director and producer for giving her the script if they already chose CYQ beforehand but why pass the blame to her side. Girly was on the other side of the world when she got the script, liked it and decided to act in it
At least thank God you are honest about not liking her instead of pretending
@Darkangel You sound so sure of what the truth is, are you Yang Zi herself or part of her team?
@Lilith how is this me being overly sensitive, you made a statement and I also made mine those who are curious can do their investigations to find out the truth
Btw you also sound so sure of what the truth is do are you CYQ or part of her team
@Darkangel How was I sure when I had included words expressing uncertainty such as "maybe"and "rumours"? But you didn't use such words. 😃
@lilith
Would be nice to see CYQ with XZ in Oath of Love, especially with her small face and frame. I have yet to watch CYQ and Dylan Wang in the workplace drama, was it good?
I guess it’s understandable IF the production team selected YZ instead of others based on their fan base. Afterall who doesn’t want more viewership?
As for CYQ acting, I know some companies but I think she is good in playing heroic and complex characters such as Ashes of Love and Heavenly Sword. I have not seen her in modern dramas so I can’t comment.
Anyway I like both YZ and CYQ as they both have next door girl auras.
Sorry typo. Not companies. Meant to write complain.
Her career is finally seeing some signs of revival and of course Yu Zheng is out there helping her make enemies :(
@soph
🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahaha more enemies….
It’s good see WJY getting more roles.
As for yu zheng, what’s his issue with the stars?
yang zi, Zhao Lusi, Deng wei.
He is just angry that they didn’t join his agency right?
The double was based on a popular novel so I don’t see the major contribution Yu Zheng made, it’s not his original screenplay. The way he hyped about it is unbelievable, totally black bitter tea
Don't forget about that Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng drama that he hyped about being better than Goblin and The Glory 😊
Love your comment..
It really makes me wonder if he purposefully makes his own artists unlikeable enough so that they're afraid to not re-sign with him. Every time he opens his stupid mouth, Bai Lu and WJY gains some new hater and bad press.
That might be his plan.
The man is very insecure. He views his artists moving to other agencies or productions as betrayal.
@soph
Yes he has been hyping about the upcoming show. Frankly I like Joseph Zeng and Bai Lu is watchable. I just hope Yu Zheng delivers what he claims.
As for WJY and Yang Zi, I prefer the later as Yang Zi exceeded my expectations in Lost You Forever.
I seen WJY in the Royal Feast and The Double, and I find her take on the characters almost the same. The long suffering and tragic personas are so vivid that they kind of overwhelmed her other expressions.
So I doubt Yu Zheng’s allegations. Anyway he should blame himself, why didn’t he promote WJY all these years, causing her to miss out many roles?
Yu Zheng is probably bitter that he doenst have A list actors, they all will leave him in a few years, that's why he always needs a new batch. Hard to believe WJN got priority over YZ, and honestly a drama with idol actors may get a magnolia nomination but very hard to actually win. I dont see how she only accepted for awards. The 2 circles are in a power struggle and looks like the movies are ruled by beijing people and dramas by Shanghai. I'm actually more interested in the networks and connections of certain people than whatever this troll has to say.
Yu Zheng has always been a petty loser. Go plagiarize someone else's work again to try and make one of your newest "proteges" famous.
And I'm not shading any of his artists, this hate is 100% directed at his delusional ass.
Lol... Yang Zi is too popular for being the 2nd choice lol. Even his most popular actress wont be on the same level as YangZi.
Did WJY ever have any popular drama under other's producer? I mean, she got popular bcuz of YuZheng's dramas, but have she tried other companies' dramas? Cuz i saw Bai Lu did.
Not even Yang Zi's fan but no way Wu Jinyan is on the same level as her even after the success of The Double. Yu Zheng always has a habit to spin up stories or exaggerate things to make his and his artists look good. Its prob a lesser known actress he's talking about if the story is even true at all.
He always sounds like a sore loser… but clearly he is bragging so people will look back on his favored actress because people’s gazes move on despite a dramas popularity in which I am referring to The Double. Buzzes don’t last forever. However Yang Zi to me is okay but not phenomenal. Still her dramas are watchable and she is pretty which is always a win in China so 🤷🏻♀️
Yang Zi is like a stable ship... it is not the most high tech nor is it budget.... Her dramas are often watchable for locals, her rating are stable.
As a investor, she is worth investing.
As a viewer, I will always tune to take a peek of her dramas, will watch if my interest holds but will drop if story does not hold my interest. I am use to her acting style, it does not put me off. May not wow me as she has a style that is her own, and have not changed much from it.
She have her foot in this industry for years and years to come.
Many people might not like Yang Zi for whatever reason or her drama picks are questionable but its pretty evident she gets first dibs. She's very popular, no doubt. Yu Zhang bringing this incident to light might shoot him in the foot in the future when the drama becomes a success because we know YZ fans will show up and support.
Isn't this the same guy who really wants Xu Kai to pair up with Yang Zi? lol
I heard from some Xu Kai fan that he didnt want XK to act in Best Choice Ever but XK accepted it behind Yu Zheng’s back which made him angry. Not sure how true this is but if it is maybe he has some beef with Yang Zi?
But they already did. Even though it was a very frustrating drama to watch but they did.
I know, wants should be wanted.
Explain how her drama picks are questionable. I haven't seen any of her drama btw. I only know she's popular.
This is a personal opinion, I like YZ but I think her last few dramas haven't been the best. Last one I sat through without FF would be GGS and Ashes of Love. She has great screen presence but no excitement to the acting. Like I always say about her, I know she can give me more to the character but she never pushes past my expectations of her. I use to really like her emotional scenes but now they are all the same to me.
@Neen, I too like Yang Zi for many years..but I have dropped her recent dramas...storyline did not interest me... Yang Zi acting style is familiar for me, I am at ease with her. So if storyline does not interest me, I will not stay on to watch for her sake.
Ashes of Love was one of those unique C costume that got me into C dramaland. I continued to watch Go Go Squid and Oath of Love. Yang Zi is adorable in GGS IMO but the ML turned me off. However, I was pretty disappointed at Yang Zi in OOL. She was obviously a lazy actress to perform very unprofessionally as a pro celloist in OOL. And her heavy makeup even just waking up from bed didn't help. Comparing her with K actress Park Eun Bin or even Go Ara as a pro musician would be a disaster. LOL but got to be honest. Good thing about OOL, this drama introduced me to my wonderful actor Xiao Zhan. LOL.
I don't think YZ isn't capable of better acting. She seems stuck in a bottleneck and needs breakthrough to another level. If plot is good, I'll give a shot to her drama. It just hasn't worked out that way for a while.
@Somebody, it was not Untamed that introduced you to him? It was The Oath of Love ? Oh... I knew him in Untamed and fell in love in 10mins... He was just so adorable...
Why does this guy always like to play the victim,he cursed an actress who didn't wanna be in his drama and now bashing an actress who he thinks she took his artist project loser bfffffff
