He acted as a very business-minded and unrestrained nobleman who just thinks of making money, Yu Lexuan. Although he acts as the second lead, Wenjun brought big surprises to viewers in this drama, especially when he acted cute. This personality is very different from Wenjun’s real personality.

“Yu Lexuan is a character that doesn't seem to care about anything but he is actually a character that hides his innermost self deeply. He is afraid to hurt himself and protects himself very well.” - Wenjun in 骨朵星番 interview. (2020)


Ni Chang (2021)

Ni Chang is an ancient romance drama which aired on April 20, 2021 on Youku. Wenjun acted as Ouyang Ziyu, a free and unrestrained prince. He looks cold but he’s actually a humorous person. Ouyang Ziyu helps the female lead, Ni Chang, and they get along well, then they become lovers.

“Although he’s a prince, he actually does quite a lot of physical work. He is very wise, when he chatted with Yuan Daocheng, he could find some details between the lines.” - Wenjun introduced Ouyang Ziyu in Ni Chang interview. (2021)


Sweet Teeth (2021)

Sweet Teeth is a modern romance drama which aired on August 16, 2021 on iQIYI. The drama is based on a novel with the same title. This time, Wenjun acted as a cold (but actually a gentle) resident dentist who has prosopagnosia and lives like an elder, Ai Jingchu. Ai Jingchu’s identity as a posthumous child makes him feel unsafe, he’s afraid to lose and he’s a very responsible person.

“Hello, everyone. I am Ai Jingchu. I am a dentist. Most people said I’m living like an elder. I have a fixed schedule. I’ll do everything according to its designated time. Then, I changed after I met Zeng Li.” - Wenjun’s introduction as Ai Jingchu in iQIYI 神剧亮了 interview. (2021)


The Silence of the Monster

The Silence of the Monster is going to air on Youku soon. Wenjun played as a genius locksmith and police station security expert, He Chufeng. He has a mysterious past. He Chufeng is symbolized with a wolf, and Wenjun highly values He Chufeng’s characteristics.

“He Chufeng is a person who is careful and precise, he’s very observant. When there are some problems, he always observes immediately, but he won’t tell immediately. He waits until the critical moment, he will say the matter if he needs to say it.” - Wenjun in Men’s Health magazine interview. (2021)


Seizing Dreams

Seizing Dreams is a modern fantasy drama which is going to air on iQIYI. Wenjun played as a helpless and lonely university student who became strong and gentle after he gained his new life in a dream land, Yu Hao.

“When I just saw the script, I thought that acting as Yu Hao was quite miserable. I seem to have received these kind of rough fate roles. At the beginning, I thought his fate was unfair, there’s no way to change it, and what he wants is in vain. After that, he gave me a bit of a gloomy feeling. He didn’t like to talk, until he found his best friend and he changed. Then, he adventures with his best friend in a dream.” - Wenjun talks about his feelings about the drama in Seizing Dreams filming wrap interview. (2021)


Jiu Xiao Han Ye Nuan

Jiu Xiao Han Ye Nuan is the latest drama Wenjun starred in. The drama wrapped on August 31, 2021 and is going to air on iQIYI. This is the first time Wenjun acts as a non-human and he said this role was very challenging to him. Wenjun acts as a young monster from the Qi tribe, Han Zheng.

“Han Zheng is from the Qi tribe. His five senses are very developed. His sense of smell, sense of hearing, sense of visual are above humans. His power is also very big, he can leap onto roofs and vault over walls. What he thinks is also different from ordinary people. He has his tribe’s concept. If I correctly find the feeling, for me, filming Jiu Xiao Han Ye Nuan is the biggest challenge.” - Wenjun in Men’s Health magazine interview. (2021)


Mo Bai

Wenjun just started filming his newest drama, Mo Bai. The drama is adapted from a web novel. In this drama, Wenjun acts as Han Jingmo, a skilled actor and a game god.

After he became an actor, Wenjun gradually opened himself up and became more optimistic. He said, “Because as an actor, if you want to act in different roles, you need to release yourself. You should convey a bit of the content of the lines and the emotion written there with acting. I slowly found out that expressing emotion doesn’t make me feel embarrassed at all.” 

Wenjun isn’t only steady and clever, he also really strives for studying and has a sense of propriety. Wenjun is an introvert, when he stands in a crowd he just stands in the corner. But this doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any dedication. These past few years, he filmed dramas nonstop and he almost didn’t have any rest in the whole past year. Wenjun prefers to be a man who does a great thing in silence, using his actions to express his spirit. 


Thank you for reading the article, I hope it will help you to understand more about Bi Wenjun. He's a great actor with a lot of potential and he deserves to get more attention from the general public. As his fan, I can see he has a bright future and he will walk on this path continuously.
