It’s so hard to score in successful projects and even harder to do it on a home run. The safer way is to get base hits and build up that short and consistent game. At the start of next year 2025 C-actor Deng Wei will be going on a year without being on a drama set since he wrapped his last filmed drama Love of the Divine Tree with Xiang Han Zhi. But the drama is slated to air in Q1 next year on iQiyi and he was in the summer C-drama Lost You Forever Part 2 so I feel like he still has momentum but it has definitely slowed down. Reportedly he gets of offers for male lead in a mid budget drama or second male lead in a big budget drama but he’s not willing to take them. His team is putting it all on the line that Divine Tree being a hit to cement his level to get male lead in a big budget drama going forward. Let’s see if this ends up being a good bet for his career.
Is this news true, I dont know but I personally feel it is very unwise to not take on 2nd lead in a big budget drama.. as visibility is important in this industry. And one less rookie actor, there are tons waiting behind to choose from. This would be a risky move…
Mid budget lead.. that will depend on scripts, cast and producers.. worth considering. If he did reject those scripts…maybe there are other reasons. It may not be due to him is waiting on lead roles in big budget dramas.
I have to say, didn’t he get a few unwanted rumours made out about him ? Did he offend anyone, why are there so unpleasant news about him? It must be so tough on him. I dont know this chap, watched one of his shows only…but I hope he is not attacked without bases by others.
