He actually wanted to become independent a long time ago. He's different from Xia Siyu. Xia Siyu was brought into the entertainment industry by Qin Baizhou. Even after her former company shelved her and she hit a slump, she later followed Qin Baizhou to a new company. You could say it's not about the company, but about the person.
When he entered the entertainment industry, he had already graduated with a doctorate and was a university lecturer, approaching things with careful consideration. Although quitting his job to enter the circle was the biggest gamble of his life, he also made use of his advantages. Upon joining the company, he signed with a relatively independent studio, and aside from advertisements, he took on other film and television projects himself, without company control.
