Core Viewpoint - The dispute between actress Zhao Lusi and her agency, Galaxy Cool Entertainment, highlights issues of contract enforcement and artist rights within the entertainment industry, particularly regarding high penalties for contract breaches and the potential for unilateral contract termination under certain conditions [1][5][6].
