It has previously been noted that Song Zuer’s return to the entertainment industry would come with considerable trade-offs. Since resuming work, she has remained in a continuous cycle of filming, moving from one leading role to another with little downtime between projects.

Industry sources indicate that her current remuneration is lower than in earlier stages of her career, reflecting a pragmatic approach during this phase of rebuilding momentum. Not long ago, she completed filming for a spy-themed drama, wrapping up the project only days before preparations for her next role began.

Looking ahead, her upcoming projects have largely been finalized. She is expected to join the cast of a high-profile drama next month, co-starring with Ding Yuxi. The production is said to feature an experienced creative team, with the screenplay written by a well-regarded writer known for previous successful works. Taken together, Song Zuer’s recent choices suggest a strategy focused on sustained output and long-term positioning rather than short-term visibility.
