记者丨贺泓源,刘瑾睿 编辑丨骆一帆 赵露思最近"长"在了热搜上。 因为她的抑郁症，也因为她与经纪公司银河酷娱的矛盾，更因为她袒露自我。很多人说赵露思 展现了内娱少见的"活人感"，心疼她。但也有观点是，她葬送了自己的职业生涯。 今天聊聊：赵露思面临怎样的困境？如何"拯救"赵露思？ 目前来看，是生理与职业生涯的双重困局。 赵露思是罕见的愿意暴露自己困境的艺人。她在微博中说自己"内核超烂，也不体面"，也发出了抑郁症 相关测评结果。 但她更大的篇幅，是在讲与银河酷娱的矛盾。主要集中在，因意外生病导致工作停摆，赵露思认为公司 不该直接从自己工作室划走205万用于赔款。以及，她没有个人工作室运营权。 总而言之，赵露思对银河酷娱非常不满意。但依据合约，这种生活还要持续四年。赵露思对于自己的续 约评价，是"愚蠢"。 需要注意的是，某种程度上，赵露思对自己"愚蠢"的评价是客观的。大部分一线艺人，续约都不会签如 此之长。在前年续约时，赵露思明显已经走红。 所以，赵露思必须解决两个问题，身体走向健康以及合约问题。身体健康归医生，我们主要聊合约。 解决合约问题的关键，就是赵露思愿意"赔钱"。这是当下商业世界运行准则，本身赵露思也吃到 ...
