Sophie Zhang Xueying Signs with Easy Entertainment on Her Birthday

On June 18, which is also Sophie Zhang Xueying‘s 28th birthday, it was announced that the Chinese actress has officially signed with Easy Ent (壹心娱乐), a move that many fans believe could mark a turning point in her career.

Zhang Xueying was previously managed by her own personal studio, with her sister Zhang Xuemi serving as her agent. While it gave her a tight-knit team, some felt it limited her exposure. Hence, the switch is being met with widespread support from fans, many of whom are hopeful the agency’s industry connections will elevate her career. After all, Easy Entertainment is an established company representing stars such as Li Xian, Jessie Li (Chun Xia), and Zhu Yawen.

Sophie Zhang Xueying who started out as a child actress has been praised for her acting, particularly in works such as Einstein and Einstein. She was also the heroine in the historical romance drama Princess Silver. However, many feel that her career wasn’t able to completely take off.

Back in August 2018, the actress found herself at the center of a lingering scandal known as the “Hu La Tang” (胡辣汤) incident. When she was filming Summer’s Desire with actor Qin Junjie, a behind-the-scenes video showed them drinking from the same bowl of spicy soup, which led to intense speculation that she was the cause of the actor’s breakup with Yang Zi. Despite denials all around, the rumor stuck. Nevertheless, some argue the issue is not the rumor but rather a lack of breakout roles. Perhaps the backing of a new agency can lead the actress to a new chapter in her career.
