Beijing. A Chinese court has awarded 11 years imprisonment to acclaimed animation artist Lu Xoxo for not using red color, the national color of China, in his blockbuster project AVATAR in whuch he worked as the Head of the Animation Dept. He was charged for defamation and betrayal of nation. In a press release, the chinese expressed dissent over the “Na’vi” being portrayed in blue color in the movie. Mr. Ho Liang, the deputy chair of the ruling Communist Party in China has been quoted as saying “Mr. Xoxo brought shame to our nation and insulted our govt. by portraying the “Na’vi” in blue.”
“His sentence would have been much harsher. The law provisions for 15 years of jail for inciting inhibitions of the state color. He has got off lightly!” said a Chinese govt. spokesperson amidst international protests. The government has warned that any external attempt to lobby for reduction of the jail term would lead to even harsher punishment for Lu.
“Lu has got nothing to do with betrayal or defamation of the chinese govt. Can you imagine the “Na’vi” in red? They would look more like monsters than the peace-loving creatures they are. We didn’t know he’d be jailed for this.” Lu’s wife Xia said.
According to sources, the communist govt. is planning to ban screening of the movie in its territory. There’s also a possibility that the movie will be modified for the country’s citizens.
