"What about Zhang Yuxi? She's not signed with your company either," Zhang Jingwen questioned.
Zhang Jingwen and Zhang Yuxi both have outstanding looks and charisma, often being compared, especially online. Their acting paths are nearly identical, and their fans frequently engage in heated exchanges online.
Previously, Zhang Jingwen shot to fame thanks to the hit drama "Immortal Destiny," her popularity soaring—essentially reaching the peak right at debut and firmly overshadowing Zhang Yuxi. But after filming two additional dramas consecutively, neither was released, and even when one barely made it to TV, it flopped miserably with dismal ratings and almost universally negative reviews, particularly critiquing her acting skills, nearly driving her into a period of self-isolation.
This caused her popularity to plummet rapidly, forcing her to rely on connections and gifts to occasionally appear on variety shows to barely maintain some level of fame.
