Actor Ao Ruipeng is steadily regaining momentum with his performance in the historical drama Chaoxue Lu (朝雪录). His efforts, both on-screen and off-screen, reflect a determined return to the spotlight. Although the show’s promotional campaign had a strong online presence, it stumbled over some controversy early on due to poorly timed posts. Thankfully, the production team responded quickly with a public apology, preventing further backlash.
The success of Chaoxue Lu has become a turning point for Ao Ruipeng. His role resonated with audiences, thanks to both his solid acting and the support of the production. The drama’s buzz helped re-establish him as a viable lead actor, potentially opening doors for more central roles in the future.
Next, Ao Ruipeng is set to film a modern drama titled Bu Er Zhi Chen (不二之臣). The script is currently in preparation, and casting for the female lead is still underway, with several rising actresses reportedly under consideration. On the commercial side, Ao is also planning to announce a new footwear endorsement with domestic brand Paladin, signaling steady growth across both entertainment and branding.
While his return hasn’t been without challenges, Ao Ruipeng’s consistent work and improving public reception suggest that his second wave in the industry may be well on its way.
