Introduction to the Speculation

Recently, the topic of whether Zhang Linghe will star in the upcoming drama ‘Zhu Yu’ has stirred considerable discussion among netizens. The speculation was fueled by the engagement of the show’s official social media account, which started following both Zhang Linghe and fellow actress Tian Xiwei. This move has led to a flurry of conjecture regarding potential collaboration between the two actors.

Response from Zhang Linghe’s Team

On September 9, Zhang Linghe addressed the ongoing speculation through his agency, stating, “I have repeatedly inquired with my studio and conveyed my request. As of now, I have not received any response for nearly three days.” This remark highlights the tension and uncertainty surrounding the potential casting.

Controversy Over Account Authenticity

Further complicating matters, on September 11, Zhang Linghe reiterated his stance, explaining, “Due to the significant attention on social platforms recently, I am refraining from making any public comments to avoid assumptions and misinterpretations.” Meanwhile, the lack of verification of the drama’s social media account has led to doubts over its authenticity, as users have found that it cannot be easily located or authenticated on the platform. This has only added to the skepticism surrounding the rumors of Zhang Linghe’s involvement in ‘Zhu Yu.’
