He’s signed under his company, and it’s quite common for Chinese actors to participate in projects produced by their agencies since most bookings are managed in-house and artists don't have a say in what projects they will participate. However, it’s worth noting that the majority of Tian Jiarui’s dramas, four out of seven, including the last two he filmed, have been outside his company. That’s wonderful progress and very promising for his long-term career growth. You might not know this, but his upcoming works beyond his company cover a range of genres, including thriller, comedy, republican, and webtoon adaptation, proving he’s expanding his horizons. His upcoming comedy drama, where he plays the male lead and which is also a project outside his company, is set to release later this year, you should definitely check it out.
