Chinese actress Zhao Lusi has officially signed with Orca Entertainment, marking the end of her long-rumored contract dispute with Galaxy Cool Entertainment. The move has quickly become a major topic in the industry, viewed as a key turning point in her career.
As part of Alibaba’s entertainment division, Orca Entertainment is known for its strong production resources and star management capabilities. By joining the company, Zhao not only avoided paying a massive termination fee but also gained greater creative freedom and development opportunities. Reports indicate that Orca has already planned a role-tour campaign specifically for her, reflecting its confidence and investment in her future.
Since her breakout in The Romance of Tiger and Rose and Hidden Love, Zhao Lusi has established herself as one of the most popular post-’95 actresses, beloved for her charm and authentic acting. The new partnership is expected to elevate her access to top-tier scripts, teams, and international collaborations.
Although the transition may bring short-term adjustments due to the overlap between the two companies, Zhao will now enjoy far more autonomy in shaping her career path.
Industry observers see this as both a strategic move and a personal liberation. Zhao’s star power will strengthen Orca’s talent lineup, while the company’s vast resources will further amplify her commercial and artistic influence.
With this new beginning, Zhao Lusi is poised to expand her presence across film, television, fashion, and brand endorsements — signaling not just a contract change, but the start of a brighter new chapter in her career.
