Before the protests, initially led by a movement called Occupy Central With Love and Peace, the names and faces of these performers were featured regularly on stages and screens in the mainland, as well as in advertisements.
But now they are being shunned by fans and companies in mainland China, on whose support many of their careers depend. Arms of China’s state-run news media have denounced them as disloyal to their country. And reports circulated this week saying a blacklist of so-called pro-Occupy artists had been drawn up and sent to mainland media outlets and entertainment companies, with instructions not to mention or promote the stars. The reports could not be confirmed.
