On November 15, Yang Zi officially announced that the contract with the former brokerage company Huanrui Century would not be renewed at the end of the contract. And with the caption "Thanks for the support and companionship from the Huanrui Century family in the past six years, the future road, although I need to go forward alone, but I will continue to move forward more firmly and bravely for the vision I love."
After the release of this news, it triggered a burst of cheers from netizens, and everyone was congratulating Yang Zi on getting rid of the bitter sea and regaining her freedom.
So why did Yang Zi not renew her contract when it expired? Hasn't the development of Huanrui in recent years also been very good?
In fact, Yang Zi signed a contract with Huanrui from 2015, when Yang Zi was in the transition period of child star, Yang Zi valued Huanrui's TV drama resources, and signed a contract with it for up to 6 years. During the Huanrui period, Yang Zi brought huge benefits to the company, and in 19 years, it was the top three individual contributions to the total revenue. However, Yang Zi also increased her popularity during the Huanrui period.
In 2017, Yang Zi was nominated for the Best Actress Award for Chinese Costume TV Drama at the 22nd Huading Awards for "Qingyunzhi".
In 2017, Yang Zi was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Awards for "Ode to Joy".
In 2019, Yang Zi won the Best Actress Award for Chinese Contemporary Tv Drama at the 26th Huading Awards for "Dear, Beloved".
In 2020, Yang Zi was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 35th Hundred Flowers Awards for "Heroes of Fire"
Although Yang Zi has gained a lot in Huanrui, there are also many contradictions between the two. According to netizens, the direct cause of Yang Zi and Huanrui not renewing their contracts is "Agarwood Like Crumbs". Because the first male protagonist of the play was Cheng Yi, and the female protagonist was delayed in official announcement. Both Jingtian and Bailu have gone to audition, but neither has cooperated. In the end, after several twists and turns, it was not until the TV series was about to start filming that it was determined that Yang Zi would play.
Netizens believe that this is Huanrui hard to Yang Zi, after all, Yang Zi wants to shoot, and there is no need to wait until the end. And Yang Zi already has such fairy dramas as "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" and "The Legend of the White Snake of Tianqi", and then continues to shoot the same type of drama, giving the actors some limitations, at the same time, the plot and costumes also make the audience lose their freshness, and there is a risk of word-of-mouth collapse.
Although Huanrui has also released such blockbuster dramas as "Ancient Sword Qitan", these explosive dramas have nothing to do with Yang Zi, and the 4 works in Yang Zi's hands are not satisfactory, from "Qingyunzhi", "Legend of the Dragon Ball" to "Legend of the White Snake of Tianqiao", not only has not gained much heat, but even "The Legend of the White Snake of Tianqi" is now removed. On the contrary, it was not Huanrui's "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" and "Dear Beloved" that made her burst into flames, completely turning from a child star to a powerful first-line actress.
And Huanrui lost Yang Zi's gold-sucking female sister, who can take over her position?
At present, the female artists signed by Huanrui include Ying'er, Yuan Bingyan, Zhao Yingzi, Zhang Zhixi, Li Man, Liang Jingxian, He Dujuan, Fu Mengni, Lin Yuan, Xi Xue, Liu Mengmeng, Li Ruojia, Zhang Yuxi, Huang Yi, etc. In terms of seniority and popularity, it seems that no one can take Yang Zi's place. I don't know whether Huanrui will promote resources from existing artists or will sign artists again. Who do you think will be the next "Yang Zi"
