Many fans have recently been wondering, "Why hasn't Deng Wei appeared on variety shows?" Indeed, compared to many actors his age, Deng Wei's variety show exposure is extremely low. Looking back at his resume, his last official variety show appearance was "Hello, Saturday," with the cast of "Longing." That was back in 2023. Since then, he has focused almost entirely on filming.
According to industry insiders, Deng Wei's team has always been very cautious about variety show invitations. This isn't because he's unwilling to try, but rather because they want to maintain his professional image as an actor-first performer. While variety show appearances can quickly boost popularity, they can also easily distract viewers, shifting the focus from his work to his personal life. Deng Wei is currently experiencing a period of steady growth in his acting career, and his team's decision to "let his work speak for itself" is a long-term strategy.
In addition, there are reports that multiple platforms are actively contacting Deng Wei, hoping to get him to be a regular on a variety show. If a cooperation is reached, this will be his first time appearing on a variety show stage as a regular guest, and fans are naturally very much looking forward to it.
Amidst his busy schedule, Deng Wei has also made progress on his new drama. Reportedly, he has just wrapped filming. Filming in Hengdian during the scorching summer heat is indeed grueling, so he plans a short break to recharge for his next project. His next drama, "The Beginning of the Clouds," is currently in negotiations, and promotions for another new drama, "The Journey of Clouds," are about to begin. From period dramas to modern themes, Deng Wei's range of roles continues to expand, and audiences can expect to see even more diverse performances from him in the near future.
Deng Wei has built his acting career with steady steps. He may not be eager to appear frequently in variety shows, but it is precisely because of this restraint and focus that the audience is full of anticipation for his every appearance.
