After the success of Lost You Forever, Deng Wei’s career has been on the rise. His first lead role in Love of the Divine Tree, which he shot last year, also aired this month. However, many wondered why he seemed to have taken a “hiatus” since then with no new acting projects for a year. It even sparked rampant speculation that it was either due to contract issues or the actor only wanting lead roles.
When asked about his reasons for not filming extensively—something common for newly famous actors flooded with offers—Deng Wei clarified his stance: “I actually care more about quality than quantity. I hope to take on stories that move me and characters that truly resonate.” He emphasized that choosing the right project matters more than simply keeping busy.
This response highlights a shift in Deng Wei’s career mindset. Now that he has gained recognition, he may have more freedom of being selective with scripts. Some of his fans see this as a positive move, ensuring that his future roles maintain a high standard. With his growing popularity, expectations for his next project remain high, but one thing is clear—Deng Wei is in no rush to take on just any role.

This feels ironic. If he cares so much about quality, why doesn’t he work on his awful wooden acting for a start?

he excel in more sinister roles for sure.
