Chen Rong

Rong Chen, born in the 1980s, has no publicly disclosed information regarding her place of birth or early educational background. Her career began in 2004 when she publicly responded to the incident involving Yi Ming being assaulted, marking her first involvement in managing Zhao Wei’s affairs. At that time, she was Zhao Wei’s manager and sister-in-law. In 2007, after Zhao Wei’s contract with her previous agency expired, Rong Chen took on full responsibility for Zhao Wei’s film contracts, advertising engagements, and media responses, becoming her main agent. During this period, she led negotiations for films such as "Red Cliff" and "Painted Skin."

There were rumors suggesting a estrangement between her and Zhao Wei due to work disagreements, but Rong Chen denied these rumors. In 2007, she also clarified that Zhao Wei’s contract with Emperor Entertainment remained with the American CAA agency. In 2010, she further clarified that Zhao Wei’s involvement in the Wang Yi incident was minimal, stating that Zhao Wei only participated in some routine commercial activities. By around 2013, Rong Chen was still responding to media queries as Zhao Wei’s agent, with her childhood friend Hu Yiqing taking over the role of her new agent.

Regarding her personal life, in 2017, Rong Chen divorced Zhao Wei’s brother, Zhao Jian. After the divorce, she acquired 32 million shares of Tang De Film and Television, worth approximately 520 million RMB. There were rumors that frictions over work choices caused the marital issues before marriage, but Rong Chen repeatedly denied such claims.

Throughout her career, Rong Chen was also involved in some controversies, including accusations in 2008 of manipulating rumors about Zhao Wei and Wang Lijun, and allegations that her involvement in the film "Beijing Huanyun" impacted the development of the film industry. She denied all such accusations. Concerning the 2004 incident where Yi Ming was assaulted, she emphasized that Zhao Wei and those involved were only working related and criticized those who used the event for sensationalism.

To date, publicly available information about Rong Chen mainly covers her career development in the entertainment industry, management controversies, and personal marriage details, with no disclosures about her early personal life or detailed educational background.
