Bai Lu has not officially announced that she will never work on idol dramas again, but she has been gradually shifting her focus to more serious, high-quality productions (e.g., historical dramas, suspense dramas, and films). This transition is likely due to several strategic benefits for her career: 1. Avoiding Typecasting & Expanding Her Range - Idol dramas often rely on romantic tropes and youthful charm, which can limit an actor's growth. - By taking on diverse roles (e.g., Story of Kunning Palace ,Till the End of the Moon), Bai Lu demonstrates versatility and avoids being pigeonholed. 2. Higher Industry Recognition - Mainstream & award-winning dramas (e.g., One and Only) help her gain critical acclaim rather than just popularity. - Working with top-tier directors and production teams elevates her status in the industry. 3. Longer Career Sustainability - Idol dramas have a short shelf life—actors often fade after their youth-centric appeal declines. - Transitioning to mature, complex roles ensures longevity 4. Better Pay & Bigger Budgets - High-quality dramas (especially historical/costume epics) often have bigger investments, leading to higher paychecks for lead actors. - Bai Lu’s rising fame allows her to negotiate better contracts in premium projects. 5. Fan Base Consolidation - While idol dramas attract young fans, serious dramas help her gain older, more loyal audiences who appreciate acting skills over looks.
Bai Lu isn’t completely rejecting idol dramas (she may still do selective ones), but her shift toward prestige projects benefits her long-term career, financial gains, and artistic reputation.👌
