As the titleholder from the previous year, Zhao Liying has maintained a relatively restrained public presence throughout 2025. Compared with some of her peers, her output this year has been limited in quantity, but notably focused on quality. Her performance in the film The Murder Case at Zhaoyuan Lane drew favorable responses from critics, reinforcing her credibility in cinematic roles and sustaining her strong reputation among general audiences.
From a broader perspective, Zhao Liying’s long-established public recognition has shown little sign of decline. Her appeal continues to span multiple age groups, supported by a consistent image built over years of screen work. This stability has allowed her to retain a high level of goodwill, even during periods of reduced exposure.
In discussions surrounding year-end popularity rankings, her support base has adopted a notably measured approach. Rather than relying on intensive, high-profile campaigning, attention has been directed toward re-engaging long-time followers and casual viewers. Industry observers have noted that Zhao Liying’s ability to reactivate previously inactive supporters remains particularly strong, especially among mature female audiences. As the final stages of competition approach, this understated yet accumulated momentum may prove to be a decisive factor.
