Chinese actress Yang Zi has filmed a series of dramas—Guose Fanghua, Life Tree, Family Business, and Yulan Flowers Bloom Once More—just within two years, tirelessly moving from one set to another and demonstrating formidable work ethic. While Liu Yifei hasn't taken on new filming projects for over 900 days, Zhao Liying hasn't had a formal role in more than 13 months, and Zhao Lusi hasn't filmed a drama for 20 months, top-stream star Yang Zi has cemented her reputation as a 'workaholic.' After earning the Best Actress honor at the Magnolia Awards for Life Tree, there's heightened anticipation about her next move.
According to reliable sources, Yang Zi is now in advanced talks for CCTV's major historical drama Empress He Xi, where she's been invited to play Deng Sui, Empress He Xi of the Eastern Han dynasty—hailed as the 'strongest empress dowager in history.' The director is Wang Jun, who also helmed Story of the Rose and helped propel Liu Yifei to new heights of stardom. The powerhouse pairing is highly anticipated. However, the drama is still in the planning stages, with the script yet to be written. Filming is expected to start at the earliest next year.
