It’s the end of an era for C-actress Bai Lu, and she’s leaving on what looks by all accounts to be mutually amicable terms. She announced today the long running rumor that she will be leaving long time agency Huanyu Entertainment, founded by producer (and writer/director) Yu Zheng. She was under the agency for ten years and it was up for renewal so everyone was watching to see if she would stay for another round or set off on her own. She posted a very long message on Weibo for her fans first thanking Huanyu and its founders and team for supporting her for ten years along with her loyal fandom. She leaves with a grateful heart and is setting out on a new phase of her career with an open heart. Her drama projects under Huanyu have been a mixed bag but with more hits than misses overall, and of course the agency absolutely promoted the shit out of her by casting her nonstop in dramas it was producing. Good luck to Bai Lu and I’m curious to see what type of roles she picks now that she has autonomy to make her own decisions.
