Li Haoshi (stage name: House), a comedian, has made inappropriate remarks insulting the People's Liberation Army in his recent shows, and the incident is still brewing. Where is the boundary of "offensive art" in the creation of comedy shows? What warnings should practitioners take away from the Li Haoshi incident?

"Comedy shows are not above the law"

Legal expert and professor at China University of Political Science and Law, Luo Xiang, who is well-known on social media, said on "Comedy Show" that "comedy shows are not above the law". After the Li Haoshi incident, "Luo Xiang's prophecy" became a hot search term.

Currently, Li Haoshi, an artist under the umbrella of the comedy production company, Laugh Factory, has been investigated by the public security authorities in accordance with the law.

The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism imposed a fine of nearly 14 million yuan on Laugh Factory and since then, Beijing and Shanghai have also demanded that Laugh Factory cease performances. Currently, there are no Laugh Factory tickets on sale and other comedy companies have also experienced temporary cancellations of their shows.

Yue Cheng Law Firm senior partner Yue Shenshan told China News Network that according to the relevant provisions of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Status and Rights of Military Personnel," the honor and reputation of military personnel are protected by law. Military personnel have the right to enjoy the honors they have earned throughout their lives, which cannot be revoked except by legal means and procedures.

No organization or individual may defame or disparage the honor of military personnel, insult or slander the reputation of military personnel, or deliberately damage or tarnish the honor insignia of military personnel. If the legitimate rights and interests of military personnel are violated, civil liability shall be borne in accordance with the law. If it constitutes a violation of public security management, administrative penalties shall be imposed in accordance with the law; if it constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated in accordance with the law.

In September 2020, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism also issued a notice on deepening the "streamlining administration and delegating power, improving regulation and providing better services" reform to promote the prosperous development of the performance market, specifically emphasizing the need to strengthen content review and on-site supervision of language-based programs such as comedy shows.

What's wrong with everyone being able to give a five-minute comedy show?

On the fourth season of "Comedy Show," Li Dan, one of the founders of Laugh Factory and a senior comedian and screenwriter, repeatedly mentioned that anyone can give a five-minute comedy show.

In recent years, comedy shows have become popular among young Chinese audiences, and Laugh Factory has held multiple seasons of "Comedy Show," making it a phenomenon in the variety show industry. However, the expression scale of comedy shows has always been controversial.

Lu Xiao, a senior viewer of comedy shows, told China News Network that comedy shows cannot be equated with "offensive" behavior. "There was a male actor who used the phrase 'little girls' repeatedly as soon as he got on stage. It was very uncomfortable in that moment," she said. Lu Xiao said that the actor may have thought he was playing with catchphrases, but from the audience's perspective, catchphrases are meant to make people think about social issues, not to provoke extreme opposition.

In the eyes of practitioners, the lower threshold for comedy performances is one of the reasons for the frequent chaos in the industry. "Nobody taught them ethical principles, and nobody told them what it means to be filial to their parents. Like the live streaming industry in the past, it may take some time to settle," said a comedian who was interviewed by China News Network earlier.

Some investors believe that Laugh Factory's recent incident reflects a lack of content risk control.

On May 17, Laugh Factory issued a statement acknowledging their sense of complacency. The statement said, "Today, the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism has imposed severe penalties on us for the adverse social impact caused by the HOUSE incident. Due to our sense of complacency in our thinking and our major loopholes in management."

Expert: Comedy shows cannot be used to break mainstream values for laughs

"Comedy shows test the ability to use wisdom to comment and analyze social and negative phenomena, rather than to break through national culture, values, and basic spirits in a flashy way for laughs."

Zhou Xing, vice chairman of the China Film Critics Association and professor at Beijing Normal University, said in an interview with China News Network that in recent years, some outspoken language-based programs have mainly appeared in relatively relaxed and open environments, where performers ignore national political ideologies and show off their cleverness.

"What the audience needs is a thought-provoking comedy show that sharply analyzes negative social phenomena and vividly exposes improper behavior that goes unnoticed in daily life, rather than actors endlessly joking to please the audience." In Zhou's view, language-based programs can subtly influence the audience's perception of artistic culture. Therefore, there must be boundaries in creation, awareness of the law, and adherence to mainstream values.

Zhou believes that some actors have repeatedly been indulged due to their broad audience base, leading to performances that are unrestrained and cross the bottom line. Such phenomena must be vigilant and regulatory efforts must be strengthened
