《English Translation》

赵强: 老黄, did you read that Xinhua commentary? It said disgraced artists who make improper comebacks should have no market. The stance is pretty tough.
黄刚: I did. In recent years, some artists have been jointly boycotted on one hand, yet on the other hand they go to small places for commercial shows or do livestream sales. The impact is really bad.
赵强: From a market perspective, it comes down to people still giving them traffic and money. As long as there’s profit, some will take the risk.
黄刚: Exactly. So the problem isn’t only the individual artists—it’s also platforms and regulation. In some places, online and offline standards differ, and that gets exploited.
赵强: I noticed the commentary mentioned “we can’t just go through the motions and stamp approvals.” That’s a harsh line, but it’s on point.
黄刚: The arts and entertainment industry has a guiding influence. If people with moral failings can easily return, it seriously affects social values.
赵强: If platforms keep putting traffic first, they’re actually amplifying the problem—short-term clicks, long-term damage to the industry.
黄刚: So we need a joint effort. Industry associations, platforms, and regulators all have to get tougher and truly enforce the red line.
