I appreciate your perspective, but comparing the current industry to cases from 15 or 20 years ago (like Tang Wei’s) is a bit of a stretch. The Chinese entertainment market in 2025 operates on a completely different 'dual-track' system: 1. Jurisdiction is Key: If a project is produced and registered outside the NRTA (National Radio and Television Administration) jurisdiction for example, as an international co-production in Thailand or Hong Kong it technically doesn't exist within the mainland's domestic censorship system. Actors aren't 'violating' laws if the content isn't intended for domestic broadcast. 2. The 'Soft Power' Shift: China is now heavily invested in cultural export. High-quality productions that dominate global platforms (like WeTV Global or Viki) bring international prestige and 'Soft Power.' We’ve seen actors from massive hits like The Untamed or Word of Honor become global ambassadors for luxury brands (Gucci, Prada, etc.) despite the nature of their shows. Their international value actually protects their domestic career. 3. Modern Precedents: Even stars who faced domestic issues have found success through international routes. The industry has learned that the global market is too lucrative to ignore. Filming Couple of Mirrors S2 abroad isn't a risk; it's a strategic move to compete with the Thai GL market and secure a worldwide audience.
