Cheng Yi's three consecutive films "flop miserably," has he been kicked out of his management company?

Information regarding actor Cheng Yi's contract with his management company, Huanrui Century, is becoming the focus of media and fan attention. Many believe the reason is the failure of his three consecutive films.

According to job data on the Tianyancha platform, Cheng Yi is currently associated with three businesses. Among them, Qi Yuan Yong Kang Television and Film Culture Studio is his wholly owned personal studio. Established in January 2018 with a registered capital of 500,000 RMB, this studio operates in areas supporting broadcasting, film, television, and the development of cultural film projects. Cheng Yi's early establishment of his own studio shows he has made significant preparations for independent development.

Notably, on January 14th, Cheng Yi's office issued a notice regarding the change of its official seal. Accordingly, the seal of his management company, Huanrui Century, is no longer in use; instead, it will be replaced by the exclusive seal of "Qi Yuan Yong Kang Film and Television Culture Studio." This move is seen by observers as a significant milestone, signifying a complete separation between Cheng Yi and Huanrui's management system.

The issue heated up when Cheng Yi's contract with Huanrui officially expired on January 18, 2026. Despite this, the actor's name still appeared on the company's official website, leading many to question the possibility of renewal. Some sources in the industry said that Cheng Yi terminated his contract with Huanrui amicably, without dispute. However, to date, the actor's side has not made any official announcement regarding whether he will continue his association with the company.

Amidst rumors of Cheng Yi's departure from the company, the stock market reacted negatively. According to Wind data, shares of Huanrui Century fell for three consecutive trading sessions, with a total decline of 12.32%. Specifically, the sessions on January 15th, 16th, and 19th recorded declines of 7.21%, 5.14%, and 0.38%, respectively. This development has caused many investors to worry about the impact of the departure of their "pillar" of the company.

A reporter posing as an investor contacted Huanrui's hotline to inquire about rumors that Cheng Yi would not renew his contract. A company representative stated, "We are still awaiting an official announcement from the company." Regarding the drop in stock price, the representative suggested that it "probably not directly related to the rumors," but mainly due to general market factors.

Nevertheless, Chinese media acknowledges that Cheng Yi's influence on Huanrui is undeniable. Among the actors under contract, Cheng Yi has the highest recognition thanks to hit dramas such as "Qing Yun Zhi," "Liu Li Mei Ren Sha," "Shen Zhen Xiang Fai," and "Lian Hua Lou"... Previously, many famous artists who were once under Huanrui, such as Yang Zi, Ren Jia Lun, and Zhang Yu Xi, have also left the company, affecting the position of the artist management division.

For Cheng Yi, 2025 was considered a less than favorable year, as all three dramas he starred in—"Fu Shan Hai," "Tian Di Jian Xin," and "Chang An 24 Stratagems"—failed to achieve the expected broadcast success. However, the strength of the actor's fan base remained impressive.
