鈥楿nhealthy fan culture鈥 banned
Print Edition
China鈥檚 Ministry of Culture and Tourism has unveiled regulations for livestreaming industry agents and performers, urging them to uphold right values.
Agents of livestreaming performers are prohibited from inducing users to consume goods or services through fraudulent practices, such as hyping up the tipping lists or false advertising.
The regulations also stipulate that the agents should ban the contracted performers from inducing consumption using verbal stimulation or promising special treatment to generous tippers.
The regulations said that performers, such as livestreaming stars, should undergo periodic training on professional ethics.
And agencies should terminate contracts with performers who 鈥渓ack moral discipline.鈥
Separate notices also published yesterday banned reality talent programs and ordered broadcasters to promote more masculine representations of men.
鈥淏roadcasting and TV institutions must not screen idol development programs or variety shows and reality shows,鈥 China鈥檚 broadcast regulator, the National Radio and Television Administration said, in a raft of new regulations.
The NRTA, a ministry-level body, said it will strengthen regulation of stars鈥 salaries and punish tax evaders.
It also said it would weed out any content in cultural programs that it deems to be unhealthy.
The selection of actors and guests should be carefully controlled, with moral conduct included as criteria, NRTA said, adding that performers should be encouraged to participate in public welfare programs and assume social responsibilities.
Talent shows that put hundreds of aspiring young performers through rigorous boot camps and subject them to public votes have become massively popular in China, sparking criticism over obsessive fans and poor role models.
The regulator ordered broadcasters to resist 鈥渁bnormal aesthetics鈥 such as 鈥渟issy鈥 men, 鈥渧ulgar influencers,鈥 stars鈥 inflated pay and performers with 鈥渓apsed morals.鈥
Instead, broadcasters were urged to 鈥渟trongly promote outstanding traditional Chinese culture ... and advanced socialist culture.鈥
Unhealthy fan culture should be deterred and strict controls placed on programs with voting segments, and any that encourage fans to spend money to vote should be forbidden, the notice added.
Video-streaming site iQiyi last week said it would cancel all future idol talent shows that are in development.
At the same time, regulators have vowed to curb the behaviors of China鈥檚 鈥渃haotic鈥 fandoms, such as irrational celebrity worship.
