LayarHijau – Chinese actress Zhao Lusi’s “Miss You” (思念如面) concert in Chengdu on November 8, 2025 drew massive attention—not only for her emotional performance on stage but also for the frenzy over scalped tickets originally distributed for free.
According to Chinese media outlet Red Star News, tickets to Zhao Lusi’s concert—initially offered at zero cost through an online quiz—were being resold on secondhand platforms for between 2,000 and 4,000 yuan (approximately $275 to $550). Some listings even went as high as 4,200 yuan (around $580), promising entry to premium seating areas.
Red Star News reporters who posed as buyers found most scalpers had already sold out, showing how quickly demand soared despite the concert’s noncommercial nature. Several listings included notes such as “facial recognition entry available,” implying that sellers were offering access through identity-linked tickets.
The original ticketing system was designed as a fan appreciation event. All tickets could only be claimed by completing an online quiz about Zhao Lusi’s career, followed by a free reservation. Yet within just 30 minutes of opening, every ticket was gone. The ticketing website recorded more than 345,000 users clicking “Want to See” in a single night.
When the concert finally began, Zhao Lusi appeared deeply moved. She spoke warmly to fans in the Chengdu dialect and broke down in tears several times. “Two months ago, I thought I might never act again,” she confessed on stage.
Veteran actress Zeng Li, who attended the show, was also seen tearing up. Among the audience was Li Wei, founder of Galaxy Cool Entertainment and the man who first signed Zhao Lusi eight years ago. She publicly thanked him, saying, “Eight years ago, he was the one who signed me.” Zhao also expressed gratitude to her new studio, adding, “Thank you to everyone who helped build this new chapter with me.”
Following the concert, Zhao Lusi’s studio released an official statement announcing her return to the entertainment industry. The studio’s verified account has also removed the Galaxy Cool Entertainment tag from its bio, confirming her complete departure from the former agency after months of public dispute.
