Chinese drama goddess Zhao Lusi has recently not joined any new drama crew, drawing concern from fans. During a Spring Festival livestream, she addressed the issue for the first time, stressing that she is currently in the deep polishing stage of her script, and bluntly stated that if hurrying the process causes issues again, “maybe I won’t act for the rest of my life.” Her agent Li Dengke also revealed her highly efficient ‘queen mode’ working style at home in Chengdu, disclosing her workplace philosophy of “don’t use those you distrust, and don’t distrust those you use,” as well as her intention to challenge herself as a producer and mentor newcomers.
During the livestream, fans curiously asked Zhao Lusi when she would start shooting a new drama. She replied directly: “Filming isn’t actually as simple as everyone thinks.” She revealed that she is still painstakingly refining the script and has extremely high standards for the quality of her work. She even humorously yet earnestly said: “If I rush into filming and issues occur in all aspects, I really couldn’t take it. I just wouldn’t act again for the rest of my life.” Her reverence toward her acting career not only showcased her respect for the profession, but also made fans feel both sorry and impressed by her persistence.
Meanwhile, agent Li Dengke revealed during the livestream that Zhao Lusi, when working from home in Chengdu, demonstrates an extremely orderly and efficient side. According to a brand partner, Zhao Lusi usually wakes up around noon and starts an intense work schedule in the afternoon. “At home, she’s like a queen, with brand representatives, drama crew, and partners coming to meet her in waves.” Li Dengke described that Zhao Lusi handles matters efficiently and decisively; after hearing a report, if there are no issues, she will directly instruct, ‘next,’ reminiscent of a court-like ‘audience’ working rhythm, which shocked everyone present with her decisiveness and leadership.
Apart from her high work efficiency, Li Dengke also praised Zhao Lusi's career wisdom. He mentioned that Zhao Lusi shows great trust and delegation to her partners: “Once she believes in your background and capability, she doesn’t micromanage, but rather gives ample space for you to fully utilize your abilities. As long as the final result is ensured, she gives her full trust.” This “don’t use those you distrust, and don’t distrust those you use” attitude is truly rare in the entertainment industry.
In addition, Zhao Lusi has privately expressed her desire to take on the role of a producer in the future, motivated by the intention that “having been rained on herself, she wants to hold up an umbrella for others.” She hopes to use her own influence to help more young actors and newcomers, and this altruistic spirit shines even more brightly in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry. #
