Most C-stars from the moment they make money are buying property and/or investing it, so it’s not hard to fall back on Plan B in the case of falling popularity or worse yet cancellation. Former C-actor Deng Lun has been out of the industry for two years and unlike fellow cancel-ee Zhang Zhe Han is not attempting a return in another capacity or country. Recently Deng Lun was spotted out at a museum event and he was very gracious to fans who recognized him, posing for pictures and signing autographs. He’s been a businessman full time now since leaving the industry and one of his restaurant investments is doing very well the Huoshe Hotpot chain which he invested in prior to the tax evasion scandal. He seems healthy, content, and successful even if the acting stardom era has ended and I don’t think there is anything wrong other than his fans hoping his final few dramas will air but according to industry pundits that will never happen.
