In 2014, Hou Ren returns behind the lens to produce a Singapore-China collaboration “Meeting The Giant”, a film that revolves around young Chinese basketball players trying to achieve their dreams in Singapore. In the same year, “Served H.O.T.” earned him a nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 19th Asian Television Awards. In 2017, he successfully clinched the Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 22nd Asian Television Awards for his role in Toggle Drama Trapped Mind.
In 2019, Hou Ren won his first Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste. Recent productions included "You Can Also Be An Angel 4", "My Star Bride".
