DeepSeek translation: Um, how to put it… I wouldn’t exactly say that (dislike sweet fluffy romcom). It’s more like (playing) a different type, a different kind of thing. It’s a kind of pressure. When you play the same type of role too many times, you start to feel like you’re running out of material. You lose that steady foundation, and you have to draw on everything you’ve got just to try to create something new—not playing it safe. That’s also why, in this drama, I took on another role of this type—a bit of a sweet romantic comedy type—Xu Huaisong, that character. Honestly, I think this should probably be my last drama in this genre. Probably.
For me, whether from the perspective of my career planning or in terms of my ability, I feel like this should be an endpoint, right? If I don’t have more life experience, or if I don’t keep growing, and as I get older, I think it’ll be harder for me to shape this kind of role—and to make you all like it. But Blossom Through The Cloud is a different dimension. It has a lot of workplace elements that people will see, and the direction and style will be more… urban. Yeah, it’s not going to be the super sweet romantic comedy type. So I think Xu Huaisong might be the last time you all see Wei Zheming like this.
As for Yan Ke and Bai Er Tizheng—those are yet another dimension. Same situation as what I just mentioned: after everyone saw Liu Chang and recognized that side of me, now there’s another role that seems like a villain. How do I present a different kind of villain in a different way? That, I think , is what’s really interesting as an actor. People might look at it and say, “Ah, the styling is so similar—how come the costume style in this drama looks like that other drama? The hairstyle is the same too.” Maybe that’s the superficial thing they notice. But when you’re actually watching the drama, who’s really paying attention to what hairstyle I have, what outfit I’m wearing today, what fabric it’s made of? Right? What people see is the whole person, and that whole represents the personality and traits of different characters. The genre might be the same, but each character is definitely different.
We all know this is the right decision and a sensible one. We have grown with him on these dramas, loving them all so hearing that it’s a closed chapter now, it’s sad.

Sorry if I caused panic!

I feel that I have to grow up too 🙂
Not sure how I feel about this.
