Zhao Lusi Criticized for Promotional Gaffe Against Guan Xiaotong

The promotional activities for Zhao Lusi’s (赵露思) new drama The Story of Pearl Girl <珠簾玉幕> are heating up as the drama goes head to head against Esther Yu’s (虞书欣) drama Love Game in Eastern Fantasy <永夜星河>. To drum up interest, Zhao Lusi has asked her celebrity friends to endorse her drama on social media. However, Zhao Lusi was criticized for not returning the favor and helping promote Guan Xiaotong’s (關曉彤) new drama.

Friends Showing Their Support

As The Story of Pearl Girl and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy fight for the viewership, the two artistes are enlisting their friends to put in a good word for their respective projects.

On Esther’s side, the actress currently has 16 friends showing their support which includes Ju Jingyi (鞠婧禕), Huang Xiaoming (黃曉明), Yang Chaoyue (楊超越), Hu Yitian (胡一天), Zhang Linghe (張凌赫), Lu Yuxiao (盧昱曉), Tian Jiarui (田嘉瑞), and Jin Jing (金靖).

Meanwhile, Zhao Lusi has received support from 28 friends including Xiao Zhan (肖战), and Zhou Yutong (周雨彤), Sha Yi (沙溢), Zhou Ye (周也), Wang Anyu (王安宇) and Zeng Li (曾黎). Although Yang Yang (楊洋) who previously collaborated with Zhao Lusi in Who Rules the World <且試天下> didn’t personally promote Zhao Lusi’s new drama, Yang Yang’s new drama The Immprtal Ascension <凡人修仙傳> gave Zhao Lusi’s drama a shout out on their Weibo’s page.

Netizens are surprised that Lu Han (鹿晗) joined in to show Zhao Lusi his support. The two have never collaborated together in any projects but it appears that the two have a close friendship.

Zhao Lusi Ignored Guan Xiaotong?

While Lu Han is promoting Zhao Lusi’s drama, netizens note that Lu Han’s girlfriend of seven years Guan Xiaotong is currently starring in Romance in the Alley < 小巷人家>. Although the drama is not seeing the same success as Zhao Lusi and Esther’s drama, Romance in the Alley is currently ranked third place in  viewership rating.

Netizens point out that Guan Xiaotong collaborated with Zhao Lusi in Hutong <胡同> and Untouchable Lovers <鳳囚凰>, yet Zhao Lusi only asked Lu Han’s for assistance. As Guan Xiaotong is Lu Han’s long-term girlfriend, netizens accuse Zhao Lusi for having low emotional intelligence and for not supporting Guan Xiaotong.
