On July 16, Chinese actress Bai Lu (real name Bai Mengyan) officially announced the conclusion and amicable termination of her decade-long collaboration with Huanyu Entertainment. In her lengthy message, she sincerely thanked the company for being more than just a "manager" but a companion who shared responsibility for the results.
She also gave special thanks to her boss Yu Zheng for his family-like support, saying that when she was uncertain about her future, he chose to believe in her first and was willing to back her up. In 2016, Bai Lu was scouted by Yu Zheng while transitioning from an online store model, and she signed a contract the same year, debuting in the costume drama "Dynasty Warriors of Shang".
In 2018, she gained recognition for her dual-role performance in "Untouchable Lovers", and subsequently starred in several dramas such as "Arsenal Military Academy," steadily building her popularity. Starting in 2021, Bai Lu enjoyed massive career breakthroughs with hit dramas like "One and Only" and its sequel "Forever and Ever." In recent years, she has soared to become Huanyu Entertainment’s undisputed top actress, thanks to hit shows such as "Till the End of the Moon" and "Story of Kunning Palace."
In fact, before the contract termination, Bai Lu had already switched from publicly addressing her "boss" to calling him "Teacher Yu," which the public saw as a sign of her impending exit. In her long message, Bai Lu stated that even though she is no longer an actress under Huanyu, the two sides remain closest family and will continue their bond in other ways. Currently, she owns an active company registered in 2021, "Qingdao Luyan Culture Media Studio."
