Recently, the talk show "roast Conference" (Season 5) was a hit among the audience. Zhang Dada, who brought his own black body, was roast by his peers in various ways at the "roast Conference". After he took the stage, he reluctantly said a sentence (stem): "If I break the law, please punish me by the law, rather than trying to bury me!" The host Li Sheng and all the guests smiled knowingly.

Not long ago, on February 24th, when Li Sheng was carrying underwear for a certain brand, he posted a micro blog with the following text: "A device that allows women to easily lie down and win in the workplace." This sentence was considered to be a suspicion of insulting women in the workplace, and has been questioned and disputed by many netizens. The advertisement was quickly removed from the shelves, and Li Sheng immediately deleted Weibo and issued an apology statement on February 25th. On February 26, Chang'an Jian, the official WeChat official account, sent a paper, naming and criticizing this matter and this undesirable advertising phenomenon. Li's birthday has caused a flood of verbal and written criticism on the Internet... Does Li's birthday now occasionally recall Zhang Dada's words?

For entertainers and celebrity stars, whether they are subject to legal sanctions or "buried alive" by the public, they are tantamount to disaster. Netizens are also beginning to worry that as a well-known talk show actor, Li Sheng has planned to participate in many popular entertainment programs. Will Li Sheng's acting career and these programs be affected? Will industry regulators issue restrictions on them?

From the perspective of China's national conditions, radio and television works, including films, TV dramas, and variety shows, have never been purely entertainment products, but rather important carriers for disseminating advanced socialist culture and promoting socialist core values. They bear the heavy responsibility of promoting positive values and establishing a correct public opinion orientation. Since 2010, with the rapid development of the cultural industry and the popularity of the Internet, in order to guide the healthy development of the film and television industry, industry regulators have issued prohibitions and restrictions almost every once in a while in response to the situation at that time. "For example, if ancient clothing is overheated, there will be a" restriction on ancient clothing ", if there are too many advertisements, there will be a" restriction on entertainment ", if there are too many episodes of the same TV series on the same day, there will be a" restriction on broadcast ", if the introduction of foreign dramas is not standardized, there will be a" restriction on foreign entertainment ", and if the remuneration of actors is too high, there will be a" restriction on remuneration "... Among them, the" restriction on ugliness "has the greatest impact on radio and television practitioners.".

"Restriction of Ugliness Order" is an abbreviation in the industry, and actually refers to the Notice of the General Office of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, and Television on Strengthening the Production and Transmission Management of Radio and Television Programs, Film and Television Dramas, and Online Audiovisual Programs, which was officially issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television on September 29, 2014, and the specific requirements are as follows:

1、 Radio and television broadcasting institutions at all levels should adhere to correct guidance and should not invite illegal and criminal actors such as drug users and prostitutes to participate in the production of radio and television programs; It is not allowed to produce or broadcast radio and television programs that use illegal and criminal activities such as hyping up entertainers and celebrity stars as the focus and gimmick; Suspend the broadcasting of films, TV dramas, various radio and television programs, and advertising programs that involve drug users, prostitutes, and other illegal and criminal actors as the main creators.

2、 Cable TV network companies at all levels have suspended the broadcasting (on-demand) of films, TV dramas, and various television programs produced by illegal and criminal actors such as drug users and prostitutes as the main creators in business services such as TV video on demand and TV review.

3、 Urban cinema lines, cinemas, rural film screening lines, and film teams have suspended the screening of films produced by illegal and criminal actors such as drug users and prostitutes as main creators.

4、 Online audio-visual program service agencies shall suspend the dissemination of films, television dramas, online dramas, micro films, and various programs produced by illegal and criminal actors such as drug users and prostitutes as the main creators, and shall not invite illegal and criminal actors such as drug users and prostitutes to participate in the production of online audio-visual programs, online dramas, and micro films; It is not allowed to produce and disseminate online audio-visual programs that use illegal and criminal activities such as hyping up entertainers and celebrity stars as the focus and gimmicks.

5、 In the foreign exchange of radio, film, and television, the donation, sale, and exchange of films, TV dramas, and various programs produced by illegal and criminal actors such as drug users and prostitutes as the main creators will be suspended.

From the content of the "ugliness restriction order", illegal and criminal acts such as "drug abuse" and "whoring" have been explicitly named, but moral issues such as infidelity and scandal have not been mentioned. However, the leadership of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has publicly stated that in terms of aesthetic orientation of television programs, it is necessary to prevent the rebound of excessive entertainment and vulgarization tendencies. Internet celebrities and people with scandals and bad deeds are not allowed to appear on TV programs. Moreover, today's regulatory authorities respond very quickly to public opinion. Events with high public voices and adverse social repercussions will soon be included in regulatory policies, and even introduce relevant restrictive regulations.

Therefore, both producers and performers of radio, film and television works should abide by the law, respect social ethics, abide by professional ethics, be cautious in their words and actions, and avoid being included in the supervision by regulatory authorities. It is also a common practice in the industry that when a producer of radio and television works signs employment contracts with leading creators such as screenwriters, directors, and actors of the film and television works, they will impose restrictions that require the above-mentioned employees not to engage in bad behavior, otherwise they will bear full responsibility for the consequences of damage caused to the film and television works. The author refers to the relevant clauses in several contracts for video platforms and film and television production companies, and summarizes several specific expressions of bad behavior for everyone's reference:

(1) Taking drugs, whoring, gambling, fighting, drunk driving, participating in triad like groups/activities, and other illegal and criminal behaviors involving pornography, drugs, gambling, etc;

(2) Extramarital love, improper relationships between men and women, lingering in nightclubs, excessive drinking, domestic violence, disorderly private life, or other behaviors that violate socially recognized moral standards, as well as words and deeds that are contrary to public prosecution and good customs;

(3) Excessive and improper statements or behaviors (including but not limited to supporting or endorsing Taiwan independence, Tibetan independence, Xinjiang independence, Hong Kong independence, cult organizations, etc., or participating in organizations and activities in the aforementioned situations) directed against national sovereignty, government, historical culture, religious beliefs, the public, the media, industry authorities, or relevant personnel, as well as other statements/behaviors that violate policy guidance;

(4) Publicly publish statements that undermine or slander film and television programs, investors, producers, broadcasters, and related parties.

Finally, I hope that all radio, film, and television practitioners will have integrity, professionalism, and integrity. They will neither be sanctioned nor "buried alive.".
