LayarHijau.com—Following Zhao Lusi's viral lengthy post, her management company released a statement.
On the same day, Zhao Lusi's former boss, Li Wei, who is the former CEO of Galaxy Cool Entertainment Media, posted a long article on WeChat Moments regarding the Zhao Lusi incident. Li Wei stated that he signed Zhao Lusi in September 2016, which was the best decision he ever made since entering the entertainment industry. Although he stepped down from the company in 2023, he has always supported Zhao Lusi, protecting and watching over her.
Li Wei also discussed the alleged assault mentioned in Zhao Lusi's article, clarifying that he was not involved in the incident.
At the same time, Li Wei addressed the previous incident where he accidentally liked negative news. According to Sohu, he mentioned that Zhao Lusi was the first to come and comfort him at that time, and he also canceled his social media account to avoid bringing more public scrutiny to Zhao Lusi.
"I completely understand when I see her fans attacking me due to some misunderstandings. I know how anxious everyone is," he wrote.
He continued, "The burden on that little girl’s shoulders is already very heavy. I hope everyone can calm down and give her enough space to relieve her stress."
Here is Li Wei's complete statement:
I have known Lu Si for over eight years. When I first met her eight years ago, I still remember her smile, which was brighter than the sun. Lu Si signed her contract in September 2016, and now more than 3,000 days have passed. Witnessing her growth and progress, I feel happy for her. Bringing Lu Si on board was the best decision I ever made in the entertainment industry.
In the past 3,000 days, I have seen a tenacious little girl who has faced all pressures alone, worked harder than most people, and has gradually stepped into her current position. When asked about her achievements, she simply said that she was "lucky." At that moment, the saying "The harder you work, the luckier you are" truly came to life.
On May 25, 2020, she became the number one trending topic on Weibo with The Romance of Tiger and Rose. We celebrated together and felt proud that she had stepped onto a bigger stage. She deserves to be seen and loved by more people.
During my time working with her, I witnessed her create brilliant achievements one after another through her own efforts. Even though I stepped down from Galaxy Cool Entertainment in early 2023 and no longer have a working relationship or equity with the company, Lu Si has always been a good sister to me, and I have always worried about her.
I have always been there for her, protecting her and paying attention to her. We often chat and share good news just like when we first started working together. I would like every one of her Douyin videos and keep track of public opinions online. In September 2023, I was attacked by netizens and fans for accidentally liking a negative Weibo post by Ruth. Ruth immediately comforted me, saying it was common to accidentally like a post and asked me not to read the comments. Not wanting to defend myself and fearing I might bring more public scrutiny to Ruth, I canceled my Weibo account. Seeing her reach a higher position but also face more controversy makes me feel concerned, and I want to do my best to help her.
Recently, after learning about Ruth's health condition, I promptly expressed my concern and received a reply from her. I was relieved to know she was recovering. Sometimes, words feel empty, and I blame myself for not being able to help. I understand that fans who like her attacked me due to misunderstandings. I realize that concern can lead to confusion. I acknowledge the urgency everyone feels. I have shouldered these burdens for her, but I cannot do much.
The burden on that little girl is already very heavy. I hope everyone can calm down and give her enough space to relieve her stress, rest well, recover quickly, and surprise us even more. It remains the same three words: she deserves it.
