LayarHijau – William Chan (Chen Weiting) and Zhao Lusi are once again capturing public attention with their latest drama, Love’s Ambition (許我耀眼). Their strong on-screen chemistry keeps viewers engaged in every episode, especially as the storyline of their characters’ divorce intensifies.
Their professional relationship actually goes back quite some time. They previously worked together on the reality show Fairy Tale (童話), where they played games with children while making balloons. Since Zhao Lusi often popped the balloons, one child asked, “Why do the balloons always burst when you’re around?” William Chan humorously replied, “She always wants to make it spectacular; wherever she goes, the atmosphere just explodes!” Chan’s high emotional intelligence kept the mood light, and many fans were excited for their next collaboration—which is now realized in Love’s Ambition.

Off-screen, William Chan is also known for being warm and supportive. According to Upmedia, Zhao Lusi revealed that when she faced issues with her agency, many people avoided interacting with her. However, Chan still sent her a message asking, “When are you filming again?” That message made Lusi feel truly supported and cared for, and netizens praised Chan’s considerate and genuine nature.
Their interactions were also amusing during a live stream. Lusi was surprised to see William Chan looking thinner and asked, “Who is that? William Chan? You look so thin!” Chan jokingly replied, “Filming in this condition is actually more comfortable,” while explaining that his weight dropped due to shooting in Hengdian with heavy costumes in 40°C weather.
Besides being considerate, Chan doesn’t hesitate to compliment Lusi. In a scene where Lusi wore a backless dress, Chan spontaneously said, “How can there be a woman this beautiful? Your back is stunning!” After complimenting her, he jokingly called himself “weird,” making the actress burst into laughter. Regarding the possibility of working together again, Chan admitted, “I definitely want to, but you’re getting older.”
William Chan’s popularity is also soaring on social media. His daily views on Douyin have reached 400 million, reflecting the strong enthusiasm of fans for his content. Meanwhile, another drama he recently completed, The Mystic Nine: Recruitment (九门), received 430,000 likes, showing a strong positive response from viewers and fans. This demonstrates that Chan is at a new peak in his career, admired not only for his acting but also for his genuine and humble personality behind the scenes.
