Ding Yuxi’s fans in China have unexpectedly struck gold, all thanks to the massive success of Ne Zha 2.
The animated fantasy film, which hit cinemas on 29 January, has smashed records, raking in a jaw-dropping 12 billion yuan.
That makes it China’s highest-grossing film ever and the only non-Hollywood title among the world’s top 30.
While moviegoers were hyped, investors were laughing all the way to the bank—especially those holding shares in Beijing Enlight Media, one of the production companies behind the film.
And guess what?
A chunk of those investors turned out to be none other than Ding Yuxi’s fans!
Ding Yuxi, 29, known for his swoon-worthy roles in The Romance of Tiger and Rose and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, is managed by Beijing Enlight Media.
In a show of hardcore support, his fans went all in, buying company shares just to back their idol.
Well, their faith paid off—big time!
Enlight Media’s stock skyrocketed by 139.03% just six days after Ne Zha 2 hit screens, pushing the company’s market value to a staggering 55 billion yuan.
Some fans are now celebrating their unexpected windfall on social media.
One lucky investor joked, “Ding Yuxi is the safest investment ever.”
Another casually mentioned, “I only bought 1,000 shares for fun. Now I’ve made a small fortune.”
But not everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. Some netizens are warning against blindly investing, reminding others to be smart with their money.
Instead of chasing stocks, they suggest fans show their love by tuning into Ding Yuxi’s upcoming drama Fight For Love.
Whether it’s stocks or screen time, one thing’s clear—Ding Yuxi’s fans always find a way to support their idol, and this time, it really paid off!
