How popular was Du Dewei during his peak period? Can he compare with the two superstars Aaron Kwok Lai?

First of all, we need to recognize the fact that Du Dewei was indeed very popular at his peak, but he was still far behind Aaron Kwok and Liming.

In terms of influence in the entertainment industry, Du Dewei is mainly based in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Aaron Kwok and Liming have long been iconic figures in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, and have been promoting the cultural export of the Chinese music scene in Asia and around the world.

Du Dewei's active time in the entertainment industry

In 1985, Du Dewei participated in a singing competition and won the first prize, starting his career in the entertainment industry. Calculated according to the length of Du Dewei's acting career, the period from 1987 to 2004 was a period of frequent activity. During this period, he released classic songs such as "Lover" and "Take Off". These popular songs were also sung by Du Dewei. At his peak, in 2003, Du Dewei starred in "Pawn Shop No. 8" and achieved certain success. However, Du Dewei was generally in a tepid state and did not become as popular in the Chinese music scene as Aaron Kwok and Lai Lai.

The controversial incident of Du Dewei

There was a controversial incident in Du Dewei's acting career. In 2003, Du Dewei was found by the police in a bar in Hong Kong and found 0.13 grams of marijuana hand-rolled cigarettes. The urine sample test results showed that Du Dewei did not smoke. He did not smoke marijuana, but the Eastern District Court of Hong Kong held that his defense of "being given" was invalid, and was subsequently charged with drug possession and fined HK$4,000. This incident had an impact on Du Dewei's reputation to a certain extent.

He faded out of the entertainment industry around 2004

Du Dewei was mainly active in the 1990s. After entering the new century like many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, he gradually became unable to keep up with the development of the entertainment industry. The situation is very embarrassing.

Around 2004, Du Dewei basically faded out of the entertainment industry.

Aaron Kwok and Lai Lai are the "Four Kings" selected by the Hong Kong entertainment industry. They quickly became famous through their status in the world's Chinese-speaking circles during the golden period of Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 1990s. The works have been uninterrupted, new works appear every year, and the works produced can maintain their sophistication.

For advertising owners, he is the choice It must be a star with big IP/high popularity. From this point of view, Aaron Kwok’s popularity as a star has never diminished.

At the same time, Aaron Kwok has maintained a high output in film works. According to current data, Aaron Kwok has shot or completed four movies so far in 2019.

Even when he was most popular, he couldn’t compare with Aaron Kwok and Lai Ming. But he was indeed very popular back then.
