Hi! Hope you are doing ok. I have been seeing a lot of post recently about capa and was hoping if you have some time would perhaps help me understand. Capa don't have the authority to put ban on people, according to the posts I am seeing anyway.. I am not even sure where to look for information but if that's the case why are social media/streaming service doing what they say?

An update by ZZH's mother

Posted on: 4 December 2021

ZZH's mother wrote a letter expressing and addressing the accusations and what ZZH had been through yesterday, 3 December 2021.

Translation and all updates about the case here.

This was posted by Mr Li who had been helping to fight for ZZH's issue recently.

hello regarding the zzh animal instinct thing is it true? https://youtu.be/oemP6o8ip9Q time stamp 2:05, i'm sorry for the youtube link i tried to find more about but there's nothing showing up

Hello anon,

I haven't seen the full video of the clip (2:05) but the clip seems to be taken out of context.

The movie he was filming - Brother (also where he was dressed for in the interview/clip), required him to act out a certain kind of scene with the female co-star which he couldn't get into character for it. Since I haven't seen the full clip of 2:05 I won't comment much, but personally presume it's a metaphor for his character for that scene. I've subbed the full movie here for your reference.

Still, judging by the tone of the YouTuber's script and his list of videos, he seems like a typical (problematic/toxic) Marketing account, just by the titles of his videos. Would advise against getting news info from him. Also, on a side note, the video was posted 7 months ago, which was around March-April, the point where WOH was at its peak so it's normal tactic toxic Marketing accounts find negative stuff to post about the actors.

Above is my two cents. If you can, it's best to find the full clip of 2:05 to find out the full context. We all know he isn't that kind of person, so I won't bother much with it, but feel free to dig further to clarify it for yourself. :)

Hi, thank you always for providing very informative posts and frequent updates despite the incident passed for a month.

I just want to ask about Yakult hashtag in ZYL case. Why I see many people talk about it, or having the words attached at the very end of their posts when talking about ZYL? Just wanted to be shared some more background story about this if you happened to know?

Thanks

Hi anon,

You're welcome💛Although I don't update as frequent now, appreciate your thoughts.

For his case, you may refer to this post here.

Please feel free to drop an ask if you have any questions regarding it.

The ZYL Trend

Disclaimer: To show info about it through stats. Personally am very neutral about him. TLDR? No such thing. Read as much as you can.

Three pictures done below for reference.

Link source for how weibo topics becomes a trend/hot search/rs here (in Chinese), by Weibo themselves.

Link for Original Posts definition - point 4 (in Chinese)

Image on the right above, no need to read in Chinese, see numbers and shapes eg. circled are also as reference to certain IWA account's general post engagement level. Certain posts did not tag the topic, but showing their likes and amount of post engagement (shares, comments) they have. This level is not a standard peasant account can have eg. The post with 43 likes. Though disclaimer that these are the top results shown once entering the topic.

Below shows the stats comparison of all 3 topics:

#ZYL infamous topic#

#iPadYakult#

#Yakult#

If unclear, click this Link for PDF version

Personal thoughts

As stated Yakult's brand origin so they could be targeted on those dates thus the spikes, but am not sure if other similar brands are affected. Notice that 15 August (3rd image) also has a spike? That's the period of zh's case.

This brand is definitely involved in the recent yl's case in some ways, whether consensus or not, they diverted a huge amount of zyl's shrine case towards this tag

Data provided is for reference and knowledge based on what I know and gathered so far, feel free to correct any mistakes, updates etc.

Reason for CAPA's current reputation Part 1

Chinese Association of Performing Arts (CAPA) is the association that released and authorised his official ban. It is made up of and managed by Entertainment Industry personnel.

Post content notes

Underlined are reference links

For internationals: Did not check the translation in detail but general review seems alright, 90% correct context. However, if there are certain parts you would like to clarify its translation, feel free to request.

Two sources below, focus reads stated below (for your easy reference). Reading full/more of the article provides more insight.

➡️ First source

On 5 February 2021, CAPA released a new set of rules called ‘Administrative Measures for the Self-discipline of Performers in the Performance Industry’ (focus points below) = entails a full list of what Celebrities should or should not do.

Source Tidbit: Original document requires payment, this is a free full version posted by Baidu Wiki (thankful of it).  

Focus

Second paragraph: 3 months boycott appeal mentioned

Article 7(1) and Article 15

***

➡️ Second source

This is an article that summarizes the 5 key takeaway/Questions of the official rules (in Chinese) above. This was released on 6 February 2021.

Source note: Source link provided is not posted by CAPA, however, at the end of the article, there is a mention of “(Source of this article: WeChat public account of China Performance Industry Association)” So, this article/5 Q&A was originally published by CAPA themselves.

Focus

The last Q/question is the most important (translation below):

Implication

WOH was not broadcasted yet when this was officially released. An appeal for boycott is mentioned, however the Q&A stated ‘previous relevant circumstances do not apply to the measures’. 

***

Bonus (recommended)

National Radio & Television Administration's (NRTA) Previous Deputy Director was removed of his position 3 days after the announcement of his ban (his ban announcement was on the 16.8.21, this was posted on 19.8.21).

Source of post here (in Chinese). Translation screenshot below. (thank Google Translate)

This was posted by the Central China Government, see the seal below. 

The positions of people removed are all Deputy.

The Chinese word used for ‘removed’ in translation, has connotations of ‘fired’.

“ 免去高建民 “ - Gao Jian Ming (in Chinese) is the Deputy Director of NRTA.

As mentioned above, CAPA is managed by the Industry’s people, who is under the supervision of NRTA, who is managed by Government officials, who is under the Central China Government.

*Extra bonus: Next ask answer will mention KW and CAPA.

To the anon in ask

Hahaha so sorry it got stuck 😂

Thank you for reading that series and if there's any chance I find is alright, may post it up somehow, perhaps in a few months or so depending, if you are still around.

Due to words mentioned, here's an answer that hopefully you manage to see.

[jjheejz]

hi! i was just on bilibili and i was going through my saved tags in the search and was shocked that every video except for like a handful of pinned videos were the only thing in the lld tag, did bilibili wipe everything with that tag in it cause i cant see every single fan would be so thorough but then i was confused that the ccp knows the lld tag? or is just cause his name would have been tagged in it. im confused how that works as i have never seen anything like that before.

Hi anon,

Douyin is experiencing a similar situation.

Whether it's Bilibili or YouTube or Douyin or Tik Tok or Google or Baidu, as long as you are online, there is data. Where there is data, there are algorithms (underlined is a link).

These algorithm function can do many things and clearing certain tags/words/data are also some of the things they can do. Usually the platforms can control them backend.

Clearing the tag is normal because of his situation. It can be the platforms themselves clearing due to the recent policies by the government (clearing up the entertainment industry), either way the official authorities are definitely aware of that tag simply by the nature of his case, and clearing the mentioned tag's content is also a needed removal (of him), it is generally alright because it helps protect the other as well.

Hope this general idea helps.

If you haven't clicked the algorithm link, scroll back up for it. It helps to provide insights.

Hi, 2 weeks ago I sent a message here. That time I was so distressed. You were very supportive and I would like to thank you for that. I feel much better now. I must say that this must be the best fandom ever. Every where you go, on any platform be it here in Tumblr, Twitter, FB and YT, you only receive love and support from everyone. It is so positive and heart warming, it feels like family. Thank you and stay safe.

Hello anon,

Thank you for your thoughtful update on your situation 💛 And I'm glad you managed to find the positive accounts on those platforms that helped you emotionally through that period.

Stay safe too and warm hugs to you. ❤️

A reminder

Dropping a quick reminder here before the main content of this post.

Please take note of the following by heart, this is in relation to the recent reform in the Entertainment Industry:

1) Stop using laopo/wife to refer to him.

2) Remove/delete/hide any photos/videos/artwork that has feminised or androgynised him.

3) Stop emphasising that those photos were due to his ignorance.

If you are a fan of other Chinese celebrities, please do the same. Feel free to spread the above 3 advice.

-Post Content below-

Since the start of his case, there have been many developments eg. IWA, planned/timed/setup, Capitals (includes Capitals role in the entertainment industry, the political issue between the Govt and Capitals), ZW, reforming Entertainment Industry, works getting taken down on Chinese platforms etc. As the scope expands, things are not as it seems then, more than just knowing those news/they exists, it dives more into intention and uncovering big which is harder to confirm and much more sensitive in terms of International cross China cultural and political aspects.

His case is no longer able to be speculated standalone whether for future prospects or by the impacts of the development. To even try to speculate, is to have sufficient perspectives and information from all sides mentioned above, and as best as possible, in detail (best with insider information, but this is almost ridiculously impossible to have internationally, even if there is, to verify the source is hard).

This, is a lot of perspectives and news to keep up and consider, with time also a factor required in order to see its effects (time = years). Through current and recent news at hand, it obviously seems bleak directly, but that is before you take into consideration the entire landscape - which means every possible areas of impact. 

So as per usual advice, if you are easily affected, take a break, find something that makes you happy, his works on international platforms are still around, JJ is still working hard etc, remember what he encouraged us when he was still in front of the camera.

For those who are curious and remains logical, feel free to keep up with the news whether in dedicated or casual terms. If you have anything to share/update, feel free to DM.

For those who are affected but choose to follow-up, please keep in mind of your judgements and be aware of IWAs, also please ensure your sources are at least credible (if there are rumors, choose to verify them. If there are hearsay conclusions, choose to hear their explanation, if there are screenshots, choose to not believe 100%, actively verify, don't be a passive naive).

No matter what, don’t be a Stupid Hero to voice your defenses or very personal opinions of him around carelessly, especially on accusations/IWA areas you failed to identify (usually these are the places that triggers the biggest emotions). Certain areas are generally clean, but certain areas are infected. Just like the virus, even the silence and IWA landscape is changing.

In conclusion, keep updated from a variety of sources only if you can mentally. And realistically, following up with the news and perspective only brings information, it does not determine an important pre-requisite: whether he wants to come back.

Addressing a popular ask topic lately

Short answer: Not enough information.

Rationale: After seeing his case, I use IWA's direction as a source of reference. What they are trending = what I think is not the case.

Additional rationale: The nature of her issue is cashes, but IWA is speaking more about her 👩 and relation to that case

Additional x2 rationale: Entertainment took her works down, Government did not mention her, yet

Additional x3 rationale: Her wikipedia (see her controversies)

Additional x4 rationale: I don't know her 👩 as much

--

Moving forward, will not answer any related ask. Trustable information is limited.

If you have burning questions, DM is open.
