Many viewers have recently felt that it has been a while since they last saw Wei Daxun on variety shows. Compared to previous years, when he was a frequent presence on reality programs, his current visibility in that space has indeed decreased. However, this is less a disappearance and more a clear shift in professional focus.
Looking at his schedule this year, Wei Daxun has actually been filming almost continuously. He first joined an iQIYI premium short drama project, and after wrapping up a film, he moved straight into the set of Innocent Body (无罪之身), co-starring with Sun Qian. Shortly after, he began filming Irreplaceable (无可替代) alongside Zhao Jinmai. With such tightly packed drama commitments, it is unsurprising that his availability for variety shows has been significantly reduced.
From an industry perspective, this transition is often viewed as a positive signal. For actors who already possess strong public recognition, stepping back from variety programs to focus on acting work is usually a strategic choice aimed at reinforcing their identity as performers rather than entertainers. This helps explain why Wei Daxun’s presence on variety shows has diminished, while his name continues to appear in new drama announcements.
As for upcoming plans, Wei Daxun is still keeping some room for public appearances. Discussions are currently underway regarding his participation in Hunan TV’s Little New Year Gala, which could serve as his next high-profile appearance. On the acting front, his next potential project is Old Gun (老枪), a production that is expected to further shape his evolving acting trajectory.
Overall, Wei Daxun has not stepped away from the spotlight. Instead, he is quietly recalibrating his career toward a more work-driven rhythm. While fans who enjoyed seeing him on variety shows may feel a sense of nostalgia, this shift could prove beneficial for his long-term development as an actor.
