Chinese actress Wu Jinyan starred alongside Chen Zheyuan in the costume drama "The Imperial Ballad," which started strong but quickly fell off, currently receiving only a score of 5 on streaming platforms. The show has been heavily criticized for its chaotic plot, while Chen Zheyuan’s screen time was drastically reduced—sometimes appearing less than three minutes per episode. Reportedly, this is Wu Jinyan’s first project after giving birth, putting her "powerful female protagonist" status to the test. However, this hasn’t affected her mood; she recently celebrated her 36th birthday, not only hosting a livestream with fans but also being spotted surfing in Hainan.
During her birthday livestream, Wu Jinyan revealed that she is actively in discussions for new scripts in hopes of joining another production soon—seemingly eager to regain lost ground. She also posted glamorous birthday photos online, wearing a flowing white outfit with long wavy hair, a modern transformation departing from her usual period costumes, and added the caption: "Another year of being adorable, right on schedule." Large numbers of fans responded with birthday wishes, while her agency boss Yu Zheng expressed his support online, affectionately saying: "I’ll always be here—your strongest backing." In contrast, her husband Hong Yao seemed to have made no public gestures of support.
In addition, Wu Jinyan was recently spotted by several netizens enjoying surfing in Hainan, appearing to have more and more fun, spending three consecutive days in the sea. She has also mentioned in interviews and social media that she loves this activity and enjoys being a “daughter of the sea.” #
