"As an actor, I hide myself behind the different roles I play. However, the agency encourages me to show my true self to the audience (of the show)," Zhu says.

That explains why the unpretentious actor started to make some changes in recent years by competing in a dubbing program named The Sound, hosting the hit TV show Keep Running and doing things other than only acting. Nevertheless, the show also reflected some differences between the actor and his agent.

Zhu says his agent has hoped that he could reach goals such as winning awards or stepping on the international stage, but that's not what he wants to do right now. He adds that the show might get other agents to think about how to deal with such kind of divergences.

The actress Zhang says her agent, Xiao Ya, directly tells her about her strong and weak points and never "fools her into thinking otherwise", which helps her stay grounded all the time.

"As an indecisive person, I also need a professional team to spur me on," adds Zhang.
