Many fans are eagerly hoping to see Song Zuer and Wang Anyu collaborate again, as their on-screen chemistry was quite captivating. However, according to industry insiders, there are currently no projects that pair the two actors together.
Song Zuer’s schedule is extremely busy at the moment, with one project after another. Most of her male co-stars are “semi-newcomers” that platforms are trying to promote. The idea is to leverage Song Zuer’s popularity to help boost these rising actors.
On another note, the entertainment industry’s profit model has changed significantly. In the past, profits mainly came from the success of the dramas themselves. Nowadays, the focus is more on “promoting talents”—launching new stars through dramas and then monetizing their popularity. The dramas themselves often operate at a loss.
From the platform’s perspective, pairing Song Zuer with Wang Anyu again doesn’t add much value in terms of resource maximization. While fans might feel a bit disappointed, this strategy makes sense given the current industry logic.
