in response to the last post
This article is bs because of so many errors and twisted facts. It has been posted up in asianfanatics and the response is overwhelming. It has been pointed out that this report is false and there are many other trustworthy sources that contradict this report.
"Yes, there was a ban on "using controversial artist rumors as way to stir up news"...aka gossiping. That is fact.
However, the list of people banned is completely made up. Like I stated before, the law was mainly targeted at Hunan TV's interviews of Gillian. Other than Tang Wei, the other artists mentioned are far from being banned. Even Gillian has just had a Sina interview within the last couple of days (the Hunan TV interview incident was about a month ago)."
Even the 163 article stated that those people are not blacklisted:
the above post is one of the many post in asianfanatics forum and it pretty much sums up what should have been reported. The added celebs are a gimmick to draw attention. can you imagine some one like vicki getting ban? She is everywhere and is one of the most famous actress out of china. She is a money maker and CHina is not stupid enough to ban her . also, her status in the entertainment is respected by the pppl in her field. renowed directors wanted her to be in their movies and she has many support among her peers. whether you love her or hate her, she has proven herself to have staying power (this can be further supported by how far she has gone compared to her hzzg costars). fbb is arguably the other actress that is very successful nowaday and for while is giving vicki a run for her money. However, her rise to popularity has passed and Im still deciding if she has staying power. fbb is known for her look more so than vicki and her role is limited. I can't imagine her as mulan or act in a cross dressing role.
Vicki can act and have the look.Its hard to deny that. she have a string of movies that garnered her plenty of experiences. The most notable traits of vicki is that she is humble, educated, easy to get along with, and keep to herself. perhaps her easy going attitude got her into plenty of trouble with in the early years of her career, but she seemed to have learned from that and nowaday she appeared to be more reserved. vicki is probablly only asian actress that I admired because I feel like I grew up with her. I have loved her since her hzzg day as a kid. she has since then weathered so many obstacles in her career but she stands strong. She has turned out to be such a beautiful woman with grace and dignity.

Director Jingle Ma and cast members Zhao Wei and Chen Kun attended a press conference on Saturday during the Cannes film festival, promoting the upcoming live action film "Mulan".
Zhao Wei, who played the title role of Hua Mulan, said "Mulan" was her most toilful film ever.
"I got up at 6:30 every morning, and had either fighting scenes or crying scenes for all day. It was a big challange," the actress said.
However, Zhao Wei thought she's lucky to get such a role. She said she admires the courage of Mulan.
"The role requires a great confidence. I feel myself getting more optimistic and confident."
Actor Chen Kun portrays a general who fell in love with Mulan and assisted her with her fighting career.
"I found that behind a great woman there is also a great man," he said.
A trailer was projected at the press conference, in which Zhao Wei shows "explosive acting," according to a report of sina.com.
Yu Dong, president of the publisher Poly-Bona Film, told the web portal that they have made deals with buyers from German, Turkey and Middle East, while publishing in France and English-speaking countries are still undergoing negotiation.
