Hanoi [Vietnam], February 14: Liu Yifei's absence from the screen for the past two years has become a hot topic of discussion. People are scrutinizing the reasons why the "fairy goddess" hasn't taken on any film projects since 2023.According to HK01 , in recent years, the Chinese film and television industry has entered a "winter" period, with a significant decrease in the number of projects starting production, and consequently, fewer opportunities for actors to appear in films. Recently, a list of actors who have not yet joined any film crews circulated on Weibo, with Liu Yifei at the top , having not acted in any films for over two years. This issue quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Specifically, since the film "The Story of Roses" (filmed in 2023), Liu Yifei has not reappeared with any film or television projects. The reason she hasn't accepted new projects in the past two years has sparked lively discussions on Chinese social media. Meanwhile, Chinese media analyzes that it's not that the 80s-born beauty lacks film offers, but rather that she always has high standards in choosing scripts and collaboration conditions, causing many projects to remain unresolved.
Many Chinese news outlets emphasize that Liu Yifei's television drama fees have reached the market ceiling. The "Fairy Sister" is reportedly receiving tens of millions of yuan per episode, and she consistently maintains a firm stance against lowering her price. In the context of a tight film industry, production budgets are generally being cut. Therefore, projects that both meet the actress's demands and the market reality are becoming scarce. Numerous projects that were in the negotiation stage have been canceled due to budget issues.
