China Entertainment: Great directors start by winning actresses

Chapter 346 Playful

Beautiful and wealthy women are indeed more likely to receive attention and pursuit in social and entertainment occasions, and they often do not lack nourishment and attention.

However, for wealthy women with ordinary looks, they may feel that they are lacking in this aspect.

But the show "Dreaming of Show Business" opened up a new perspective for them, making them realize that there is such a possibility - by interacting with outstanding young actors, they can also experience different kinds of life fun.

The young handsome guys in the show successfully attracted the attention of wealthy ladies with their talent and charm.

They are rubbing their hands in anticipation and eager to try, hoping to have a deeper exchange with these young handsome men. After all, they have money, and if they shoot more dramas, they will have a steady supply of young handsome men.

When Wen Yongshan saw this scene, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The Hong Kong entertainment industry used to be very shady, with gangs, rapes, etc. being common. When Yammie Lam was interviewed by a Hong Kong gossip magazine, she once admitted that she had been raped by a big brother in the film industry.

Chen Long, Li Lianjie and others have also personally confirmed that during the golden age of Hong Kong film industry, they were forced to film at gunpoint by gangsters.

But that was all before Hong Kong’s return to China.

After Hong Kong's return to China, the entertainment industry is still as dark as it should be, but it's not as blatant as before.

This is the first time that Wen Yongshan has seen such a gameplay as in "Dreaming in Entertainment Circle".

Wen Yongshan had never seen such treatment by a Hong Kong rich woman against a Hong Kong male star.

"Director Su, is this plot really not fictional?" She confirmed with Su Zhe again, with a hint of disbelief in her tone.

Su Zhe looked calm. He replied, "It is indeed not fictional. It is adapted from real events in the entertainment industry."

Wen Yongshan was silent, obviously the news was a shock to her.

At the recording site of the program, Zhou Tao asked seriously: "Director Su, isn't this behavior illegal?"

Su Zhe smiled lightly and responded: "You asked a good question. As far as I know, most people in the entertainment industry currently believe that such behavior does not constitute a violation of the law."

"Currently?" Zhou Tao keenly caught this word.

Su Zhe nodded and further explained: "Yes, because so far, no one has been prosecuted for such behavior, so within the entertainment industry, this behavior is considered to be condoned and does not constitute a violation of the law."

It was not until Fanfan was detained that this behavior became illegal.

The problem is that Fanfan is definitely not the first person to do this.

Putting aside other things, how senior is Fanfan in the entertainment industry?

It’s not even his turn to play with flowers.

Zhou Tao has hosted the Spring Festival Gala for more than a dozen years, and her legal knowledge far exceeds that of celebrities.

Although she had only seen this kind of thing once, her professional sense made her realize that something was wrong.

"Forcing someone to drink and then forcing them to have sex is clearly a form of rape." Zhou Tao pointed out seriously, her voice echoing in the quiet conference room.

She continued: "If a group of people drink together and exchange sexual partners or sleep together, then it may constitute a group lesbian affair. These behaviors are serious violations from a legal perspective."

"So serious?" Song Tie, Huo Wenxi and Wang Zhonglei all showed shocked expressions.

They had never realized the seriousness of this behavior before, and some even knew nothing about it.

Song Tie bluntly stated: "I had no idea about this kind of behavior before, let alone thought it might be illegal."

Although Huo Wenxi and Wang Zhonglei are aware of some of the "unspoken rules" in the entertainment industry, they also admitted: "We really didn't realize that this behavior was illegal. In the circle, this situation seems to be quite common, so we didn't think about it that way."

Su Zhe stood on Zhou Tao's side. After all, he had experienced Fanfan being arrested before.

"This behavior is indeed suspected of violating laws and regulations," Su Zhe said firmly.

"In real life, as long as someone is brave enough to come forward and report it, the government will open a case and investigate, which is likely to uncover a dark corner of the entertainment industry."

Huo Wenxi looked at Fanfan in the video and shook her head helplessly: "Now I understand why no one in the entertainment industry has been arrested for this kind of thing for so many years. This phenomenon is actually not uncommon in the industry, but few people are willing to report it."

Wang Zhonglei also echoed, "Indeed, as revealed in the show, these little boys who attended the drinking party knew what might happen before they came. Maybe they were afraid, or maybe they had ulterior motives. In short, few people chose to stand up."

"Even if they knew, if they were drunk and had sex, it would still be illegal," Zhou Tao reminded seriously.

Wang Zhonglei blinked, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Indeed, over the years, it seems that no one has come forward to report the case. In many people's eyes, this situation is a case of 'one willing to fight, the other willing to be beaten'."

"Is this kind of thing really common in the circle?" Zhou Tao asked.

Wang Zhonglei sighed and said, "It is indeed common to force people to drink alcohol, and the relationships that followed also exist.

But how to define it is indeed a difficult problem. Many people may have received certain benefits in the end, while some did not. But for various reasons, they did not choose to pursue it. "

"Many people do this out of guilt, but it is undeniable that some people do lack legal literacy."

Su Zhe said solemnly, "In the entertainment industry, for various reasons, it is indeed very difficult for victims to report the case."

Take Du Meizhu for example, she didn't actually report the case, Su Zhe thought to himself.

The notice from the government office has made it very clear that they have not received any report from Du Meizhu.

The reason why the government investigated Fanfan was because a large number of netizens reported it, which formed a social opinion incident, so the government intervened in the investigation.

It was not that Du Meizhu directly sought protection from the government as a victim.

Even without the report from Du Meizhu, the direct victim, the government was still able to find out the problem. This is enough to show that as long as there is sufficient evidence and public support, justice will eventually be served.

"This also reminds us that as public figures and members of the entertainment industry, we should strengthen our legal literacy, clarify our rights and obligations, and avoid getting into unnecessary trouble due to lack of legal knowledge," Zhou Tao added.

The incident at the time showed that Fanfan had big problems. Du Meizhu was just an appetizer, and the main course was with other people.

Zhou Tao's voice sounded unusually firm and powerful in front of the camera: "Dear audience members, what I saw today was truly shocking.

As a member of the system, I know the darkness within the entertainment industry, but I must also say that I have never seen anyone dare to force a female host of the Spring Festival Gala level to attend such a vulgar cocktail party.

Today, I have broadened my horizons." She took a deep breath and continued, "I must make an appeal here.

If you, or someone around you, has experienced what these little boys have experienced, and if you long for justice, then please pick up your phone, call the police, and let the government give you a belated justice.”

Zhou Tao's professional qualities were fully demonstrated at this moment. She is not only an excellent host, but also a person with a sense of responsibility and justice.

She went on to say: "Perhaps these things have become an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, but I want to tell you responsibly that these actions are definitely suspected of violating laws and disciplines.

The law is fair and just, and it will certainly punish the perpetrators of violence accordingly."

At this moment, Zhou Tao fully demonstrated her core value for the show "Dreaming in Show Business Circle".

It is based on such values ​​that Su Zhe spared no expense to invite her to be the host of the show.

With Zhou Tao in control, the entire "Dreaming in Entertainment Circle" will hardly make mistakes in its choice of direction.

Whenever the show needs to reach a higher level, Zhou Tao can always sublimate it skillfully, just like now.

They discussed this topic in depth for a long time, making the audience in front of the screen deeply aware of the seriousness of this problem.

However, the following developments were shocking. When faced with the temptations offered by the wealthy sponsor, the participants of the show actually chose to accept them.

They traded their bodies and a night of "pleasure" for the chance to play a role in "Pure Mind? Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Circle".

The discussions among guests including Su Zhe formed a sharp contrast with the choices made by the contestants in the show, making the already complex reality of the entertainment industry even more prominent.

Faced with the contestants' choices, Zhou Tao demonstrated her professional ability and noble character, but even so, she found it difficult to save the situation.

Zhou Tao pondered for a moment, frowned slightly and said: "Do they... lack legal literacy? Does this behavior touch the red line of the law?"

She tried her best, but the contestants on the show didn't seem to understand her concerns and some even went their own way.

Song Tie couldn't help but complain: "Sister Tao, you are too polite. They clearly agreed to complete the transaction."

Huo Wenxi nodded in agreement: "In the entertainment industry, this kind of behavior is not uncommon. Sleeping with someone in exchange for a role may be considered a fair trade by many people."

Wang Zhonglei also echoed: "In this kind of deal, the lucky ones can get the role, while the unlucky ones may be slept with for nothing and end up not even getting a minor role."

Hearing this, Zhou Tao was speechless. She deeply felt the darkness and cruelty of the entertainment industry.

"It's too dark." Zhou Tao sighed.

Wang Zhonglei said solemnly: "If they are willing to keep their feet on the ground and take the right path, no one will force them."

The words reveal a very natural young people's view on the current situation in the entertainment industry.

"Therefore, dear audience in front of the TV, especially those young people who have dreams and want to enter the entertainment industry," Su Zhe reminded solemnly.

"You must think carefully. Don't just look at those big stars who are glamorous and beautiful. There are more small stars in the entertainment industry who are struggling but still see no hope.

They often pay a huge price, but fame is still elusive.

If you really want to be in the entertainment industry, you must be mentally prepared for this."

Su Zhe changed the subject and spoke in a more serious tone: "Especially little boys, you may face greater danger in this circle.

Because the current law does not provide enough protection for men against sexual assault, the act of rape against men is not legally recognized as rape.

Therefore, you need to protect yourself and act with caution.”

In the social context of 2011, the status of male students did face such embarrassment.

The purpose of the variety show "Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry" is to reveal the true face of the entertainment industry in order to dissuade those who blindly pursue the dream of becoming a star.

This core idea was determined by the bigwigs of the Propaganda Department, and Su Zhe also knew that he must follow this direction.

In the program, Su Zhe spared no effort to show the darkness and cruelty of the entertainment industry, while also not forgetting to give his own reminders and suggestions.

He hopes that through this method, those who have excessive expectations for the entertainment industry can see the reality and make rational choices.

Of course, Su Zhe also understood that even if they worked so hard to uncover the secrets and popularize science, there would always be some people who were determined to break into the entertainment industry.

He can only accept this part of people helplessly. After all, everyone's choice and life path are their own decisions.

However, it is gratifying that Su Zhe and his team's wave of revelations and popular science has indeed achieved significant results.

Many parents who originally planned to send their children into the entertainment industry have given up the idea after learning the real situation in the industry.

It’s too dark. This dark side of the entertainment industry makes many parents shudder.

As parents, one can imagine the pain they feel when they think that their daughter may be forced to sleep with many old men and not even get a role in the end.

What makes them even more desperate is the thought that their son may become the prey of a rich woman, and the law is helpless against such behavior and does not regard it as rape.

They absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing happening to their children.

When Zhou Tao saw this way of allocating roles on the show, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

She turned to Wang Zhonglei and asked, "Mr. Wang, are there really drama roles in real life that are assigned in such an exaggerated yet realistic way?"

Wang Zhonglei pondered for a moment and replied, “In fact, the bigger the director and the bigger the investment, the smaller the chance of this happening.

Because for such crews, they value the quality of the work and the return on investment more, rather than obtaining roles through improper means.

Of course, this does not mean that this phenomenon does not exist in the entertainment industry at all, but relatively speaking, large crews will be more standardized and pay more attention to professional ethics, because they have to be responsible for their own money. "

However, for some small crews, the investors have the final say, and the entire crew is responsible for making the investors happy.

This kind of crew is not looking to make money, so whatever happens is normal.”

"Director Bi's movie is called 'Pure Mind? Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry'. The name of the movie and the way the actors rose to fame really form a sharp contrast." Zhou Tao said.
