The mainland Chinese entertainment industry has recently sparked a controversy over the “banning of foreign stage names”, throwing actress Angelababy into a turmoil over whether to change her real name to Yang Ying. Japan’s “reverse input male god” Fujioka Indigo, who has performed in Taiwan dramas “A Corner Meets Love” and “Bad School Flower”, mocked himself for “always using a Chinese stage name to perform Chinese film and television works”, which attracted fans to laugh back: “Protect well. Your own account. You know too much.”
Indigo Fujioka, who made his fortune in Hong Kong and became famous in Taiwan, has returned to Japan in recent years and has attracted the attention of Chinese audiences. I have been using the Chinese translation of these three characters. Foresight, I foresaw the future at that time.” Just a few words aroused heated discussions among netizens. Some netizens laughed and said, “You know too much”, while others were worried that he was joking: “If it was the agent who posted this, is he trying to harass Adien?”
The 42-year-old Fujioka Indigo made his debut in the entertainment industry as a model in Hong Kong before he really became popular with the Japanese drama “Please Love Me”. Luo Zhixiang, Rainie Yang and Wilber Pan collaborated in “The Corner Meets Love”, “Bad School Girl”, and performed in the films “Sedek Bale” and “Ruffian Heroes in Full Battle”. After returning to Japan and performing many detective works, Fujioka Indigo was also considered to be the best candidate to play the actor “Twilight” in the live-action version of the anime “Spy House Wine”.
With the fermentation of “Forbidden foreign stage names”, actress Yoko Ramome changed back to her real name Li Jiaqi. The famous screenwriter Wang Hailin also criticized Angelababy fans who were dissatisfied with the idol’s name because of his posts “Yang Ying can no longer sign Angelababy” and “This regulation has long been established by radio and television, it is not a new regulation.” However, since Angelababy only has an official Weibo account signed as Angelababy, the rest, such as the studio, are named Yang Ying, which also makes this “name rectification storm” variable.
