As in previous years, many artists from China came to the red carpet without any works-/kloc-On the morning of 0/8, actress Xu Dabao posted a group of photos of her walking the red carpet in Cannes on her personal Weibo. In the photo, she is wearing a long red backless dress with five yellow five-pointed stars dotted regularly. The dress is consistent with the national flag of China in terms of composition elements and color matching, which triggered a dispute between "insulting the national flag" and "promoting Chinese style" among netizens.
Are you wearing a national flag or a national flag suit?
Shortly after the photo was released, Xu Dabao Weibo, which usually had only 100 interactive replies, exploded. Some netizens bluntly said that Xu Dabao is an "eighteen-line actress", who impressed the public with national flag dresses at international film festivals and did not respect the national flag; Several netizens even cited the provisions of the National Flag Law, saying that wearing a national flag dress "insulted the national flag" and was suspected of violating the National Flag Law.
However, there are also many voices of support. Weibo netizens don't think it is necessary to go online. "The dress only uses the national flag element to promote the Chinese style, not to wear the national flag."
/kloc-At noon on 0/8, Xu Dabao sent two long microblogs to explain his intention to wear a national flag dress. I hope you can understand and forgive.
According to Xu Dabao, this national flag dress is her own idea. It is made of satin specially used for wedding dresses. The original intention of the design is to spread the elements of China, without offending the national flag. "I hope to show the confidence and patriotism of China's online celebrities and show the beauty of China to the world." She also said that when I walked down the red carpet, the song "Five-Star Red Flag, You Are My Proud" kept ringing in my ears.
According to public information, Xu Dabao is both an actor and a network anchor. 20 15 started her career as a network anchor and officially became a professional female anchor. April 20 16, participated in the first film work and officially entered the entertainment circle. So far, he has appeared in two or three works.
Is this a legal punishment or a moral adjustment?
Article 19 of the National Flag Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that anyone who intentionally insults People's Republic of China (PRC) and the national flag by burning, damaging, scribbling, defacing or trampling in public places shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law. In addition, some netizens cited the stipulation in Article 18 of the National Flag Law that "the national flag and its design shall not be used as trademarks and advertisements", arguing that Xu Dabao's move violated the National Flag Law.
Can the "national flag outfit" that borrows the image of the five-star red flag be considered as damaging or tarnishing the national flag? It is not clear how many elements, or how many combinations of elements, are regarded as the national flag. Lawyer Liu Wenhua (Yunnan Liu Wenhua Law Firm), a well-known legal blogger certified by Weibo, explained.
Liu Wenhua said that the national flag dress cannot be equated with the national flag dress. After all, the national flag law has not yet issued specific implementation rules. He added that the national flag made according to the national standard is definitely the national flag. It is illegal to carry out acts explicitly prohibited by the National Flag Law.
As for the actress Xu Dabao wearing a dress with national flag elements, Liu Wenhua believes that Xu Dabao's wearing a "national flag dress" to attend the celebration out of subjective goodwill does not belong to "deliberately insulting the national flag in public places by burning, destroying, scribbling, defacing and trampling" as stipulated in the National Flag Law, and its behavior is beyond the scope of legal adjustment and should be adjusted morally.
Is it shameful to rub the red carpet like this?
Wearing a dress with national characteristics is a way for a star to establish a personal image and spread national culture on the international stage, but sometimes "pushing too hard" often backfires.
20 13 Fan Bingbing wore a yellow robe on the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the 63rd Cannes Film Festival, which caused quite a controversy. 20 15 is also the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival, and the actress Zhang Yin's "big flower coat" dress was once criticized as a "duet".
Behind netizens' criticism of these strange clothes is actually their dissatisfaction with many domestic artists who walk the red carpet of foreign film festivals in a high-profile way to attract attention without their works participating or exhibiting. In the eyes of netizens, "carpet star" is really winning glory for the country, not so grandstanding, but taking good works in a down-to-earth manner.
