On November 15, actress Andy Yang Zi revealed the end of her contract with H&R Century Pictures (Hanrui) and that she won’t be renewing. She took to social media to say, “Thank you for the support and companionship from @Hanrui family for the past six years, although the road ahead requires me to move forward alone, but I will continue to move forward more firmly and bravely for the work that I love.”
She also shared an old post of hers from November 15, 2015 when she first signed with the agency six years ago. It was a caption that said, “The future you, will definitely thank your present hardworking self.”
Yang Zi has seen much success in recent years with hits like Ashes of Love and Go Go Squid! While some fans seem to have beef with her agency given the disputes over her starring role in the upcoming Immortal Samsara, it looks like the drama will now be known as her last project as an artist under H&R Century Pictures.
In any case, Yang Zi and her agency seem to be parting ways on good terms. Her agency posted on social media, “We have experienced and witnessed the growth and achievements together, we sincerely wish Ms. Yang Zi a splendid future.” Other artists currently under H&R Century Pictures include Allen Ren Jialun, Cheng Yi, Crystal Yuan Bingyan, Liu Xueyi and Zhang Yuxi.

Congratulations to her and wishing her better luck in the coming years. It is true that while this current agency brought her two of her most popular and beloved works, she has not had the best luck lately with her dramas. I’m just impressed that the parting was amicable and not acrimonious as it could potentially be. Just curious if this is the same agency that caused the badly managed Cheng Yi / Crystal Yuan public fiasco last year? If it’s the same agency, then I’m not surprised she’s leaving.
Susu
yes it is the same agency that ChengYi and Crystal Yuan have a fiasco last year I think. I guess now YZ will be her own agency??? Maybe she will sign with someone better??

The contract has reached its expiry date and neither party is renewing. That’s all. Why should it even be acrimonious?

There’s nothing acrimonious, it said she left peacefully. She spent years with that agency until she finally had a hit, she did more projects for them before leaving, it’s on very good terms.
Leaving on bad terms is the riskiest thing for artists, they will get sued for breaking contracts. YZ has a so call friend ZLY who got a hit drama right away from an agency, spent only 2 years with them and left on very bad terms. No idea how she paid herself out of things like that, her salary and connection must be excellent. Did that 4 or 5 times throughout her career. Now she is very successful with Li Bing Bing. If she’s a true friend maybe she will invite YZ to join them. Or if YZ is a good leader like YM she will make her own agency and likely get accused for being a huge money lover. YZ pretty much reached stable fame now, any agency will want her. With her talent and loyalty, agencies must be reaching out crazy. But I believe she will want to be flexible and free. Wishing her the best.

I thought Yang Mi just has a small shareholder of Jaywalk she doesn’t own it.? Anyways I’m sure Yang Zi best of luck to Yang Zi. I Hope to see her in more serious roles. Why bring in ZLY? Every time there is a YM, Dilraba or YZ thread somehow ZLY gets mentioned. You don’t always have to be loyal to your agency. People switch jobs all the time. We have to take jobs that benifits us.

If it’s that easy to switch, YZ and Dilireba would done it a long time ago. Their fans been cursing at those agencies for years, giving ’em really redundant stuff over and over.
If you ever read the other threads about pple trying to buy out their contracts, the amount of $$$ does look too scary. No wonder why YZ played it safe all this time. New agencies will not want you if you are not loyal. Unless your connection with the new place is real good. I wonder where YZ will go next, maybe she will join ZLY’s agency if she also want the international route.

Yooi
If this happened in X country, the agency would blow up all thr rumors she had back then.. lol… Glad that she can continue her career without being exposed by the ex.

No worries, there’s nothing dark about her history. She only dated an ex openly, everyone knew about them dating and separating, nothing new. She didn’t hide like a criminal to date him. If she dates again she will announce it again, no worries for you.
It was her ex that treated other women on variety shows the way he chased after her, even his boss threw some shade at her and he did nothing protective. He only depended on her popularity, ZLY’s help, and his boss Yu Zheng. There was never a sign of her being a dramatic b–ch, pushing blame on others to look better and gain more attention. If anyone wants to accuse her of anything, she’s just going to be quiet and do nothing, such a peaceful and easy prey.
