C-actor Xu Kai Reportedly to Renew His Contract with Yu Zheng’s Agency Because He Finds its Too Much Work to Open His Own

I love C-actor Xu Kai despite his myriad limitations as an actor, he’s always watchable for me and I think he’s super derpy in real life and love that contrast. He’s contract with his long time agency run by Yu Zheng is coming to an end this year and reportedly he will renew, which was not always guaranteed as stars who get as big as he did typically branch off on their own. The reported reason for his renewal is that he thinks its too much work to set up his own management office and he has to pay someone fees might as well pay it to Yu Zheng, who has been good to him through his career. Lol, both are true and sometimes the devil you know is better than the unknown.

  • One of my top fav cdrama actor although not a good actor. Perhaps its cos he's of guangdong descent that i take a liking to him. But he's definitely handsome. Good luck to Xu Kai.

  • I'm confused. Why are the options only YZ's agency or his own agency? Aren't there other agencies he could sign too? Or

    • Except leaving to establish his own agency which he seems not to be ready to, he probably doesn't see any reason to sign up with another agency since he has no issue with his current agency.

    • @Sunny on you sign a contract with an agency for two reasons, they provide you with better resources or get u more satisfactory earning percentage, opening an agency means getting all your earnings to urself but may not get enough resources even if you are a big star, and signing with a new agency may not necessary give you a better margin.

    • @Fey @Merry: Thanks. Makes sense as creating your own agency is a lot of work and responsibility and no need to move elsewhere if he is happy with YZ.

  • I never watched anything with him but boy do I love his personality...man is so easy-going and laid-back in rl.
    He got work and that's all that matters to him I guess. I also think opening your own agency is too much trouble/hassle. Switching is also a risk, how many artists have been screwed by their former agencies? No, I 100% support his decision and wish him the best for his future endeavors.

  • I had to laugh at seeing him beeing called "derpy", since this is the exact same impression I had of him. Good to look at and that's it. Didn't get the hype about him. I like him best paired with Bai Lu or Jing Tian. Maybe because I like to watch both ladies. For all I know... I didn't watch a lot of his work.

  • He is actually better than a lot of pretty boy actors. He's charismatic, has a sweet personality, is innocuous, and his acting can be good in the right role and with the right partner. I wouldn't watch a drama just for him, but he can be fun.

    It's hard to fight for resources. Yu Zheng is a jerk, but he has made his career.

  • He is not the best actor out there but I think he’s better than a lot of cdrama actors nowadays. Irl he also seems very sincere and down-to-ealth which is very endearing.

  • I like Xu Kai and to be honest I totally get his choice. If I were in his shoes, I would milk my good looks and serviceable acting to a maximum extent to save money, invest in real estate and then quit at about 40 to be an entrepreneur.
