LayarHijau – Zhao Lusi has once again caught public attention after being involved in a contract dispute with her agency, Galaxy Cool Entertainment. Many speculated that her career might be affected, even at risk of being “blocked” from the entertainment industry. However, through her latest drama Love’s Ambition, the actress successfully bounced back and received praise, including from the global CEO of Bulgari who complimented her charm.
Although Zhao Lusi’s former agency has not issued an official statement, there were earlier rumors suggesting that the actress might join a major platform under Alibaba’s umbrella through a management contract with Tianhao Shengshi. Some sources claimed that the platform helped mediate so Zhao Lusi could resolve her previous contract.

Recently, a new rumor has emerged linking Zhao Lusi to Whale Culture, a production company affiliated with Youku and currently operating under Alibaba’s digital entertainment group, Hujing Digital Media and Entertainment Group. The rumor suggests that Zhao Lusi might sign a full contract for drama or film projects under Whale Culture. However, as of now, there has been no official confirmation from Zhao Lusi or from Youku/Hujing Group.
One netizen even shared their friend’s experience working at Youku’s headquarters, mentioning that a large screen in the building—rarely used—suddenly played Zhao Lusi’s dramas repeatedly, fueling speculation that the collaboration might be real.
When the rumor with Alibaba circulated online, Zhao Lusi posted an image with five playful characters reading “浮缩拔道噢” (pronounced “hu shuo ba dao o,” sounding like “胡说八道噢,” meaning “nonsense”) on Red Note. The post is considered a subtle jab at the circulating gossip, highlighting that the actress is quick to respond to circulating rumors.
The public now awaits an official clarification from Zhao Lusi or the relevant parties. Given her reputation for promptly addressing news, an official announcement regarding her collaboration with Whale Culture or Youku/Hujing Group is likely not far off.
