Dicaprio on the spot

The much-anticipated release of The Revenant on the Chinese mainland has not been without controversy, as Hollywood megastar Leonardo DiCaprio finds out. Xu Fan reports.

He has again become the target of Chinese tabloids and Internet users, thanks to a poorly organized film publicity event on Sunday.

One of Hollywood's most popular megastars in China, Leonardo DiCaprio is regarded as a reason why Chinese, even those who are not film enthusiasts, keenly followed the 88th Academy Awards.
