Zhang Linghe's studio sues over 'photo fee' rumors

The studio of rising Chinese actor Zhang Linghe has vehemently denied rumors circulating online that fans must pay exorbitant fees for photos with the star. The claims suggested prices ranging from 40,000 yuan to a staggering 95,000 yuan (approximately $5,500 to $13,000 USD) for a photograph.

Zhang Linghe has recently gained significant popularity after portraying the character Xie Xiang in the widely watched historical drama "My Journey to You" (逐玉). His newfound fame has apparently led to the spread of misinformation regarding fan interactions and associated costs.

In response to the escalating rumors, Zhang Linghe's management studio has taken swift action. They have issued a formal statement refuting the allegations and announced their intention to pursue legal recourse against those spreading the false information. The studio aims to clarify the situation and protect the actor's reputation.
