Zhang Yu, I believe everyone is no stranger, as a rising star in the mainland in the early years, he has attracted much attention for his excellent acting skills and appearance, and his starring "Kangxi Empire" and "Blue Demon Ji" are popular all over the country. However, behind the glamorous beauty of the entertainment industry, there are extremely dirty secrets, so what is going on?
Exposed videotape
In 2003, Zhang Yu used a press conference to unveil an ugly corner of the entertainment industry.
At that time, Zhang Yu had reached the height of a third-tier actress, and it can be said that her prospects were bright. Not only is his acting talent recognized, but his advertising endorsements and TV series roles are also constantly contracted, and he is gradually moving towards the peak of his career. However, this glamorous exterior cannot hide the confusion and pain inside.
In the entertainment industry, huge resources and opportunities have always been in the hands of a very small number of people, which also made Zhang Yu pay a lot of price when he came to his position at that time: he was forced to sleep with the controllers of power and resources - directors and investors. As the coffee booth continues to rise, sleeping with sleep has become more and more common, and the physical and psychological damage has also been greatly affected. At the same time, she also feels that her moral bottom line is constantly being destroyed.
In the process, she was unable to see her future clearly. It seems that the future is full of hope, but the opposite is an entertainment industry full of gloom. Finally, she made a difficult choice and stood up bravely.
And this press conference also completely changed her fate and shocked the entire entertainment industry. She unreservedly exposed the fact that she had been "ruled" many times, confessed that she had accompanied at least thirty directors before and after, and directly listed a list of directors who had sexually harassed her.
This list can be said to have instantly ignited the media and made the dark corners of the entertainment industry visible. What is even more shocking is that she directly released the video of director Huang Jianzhong and several other actresses at the press conference.
The director's response
This made Huang Jianzhong pushed to the cusp of the entertainment industry for a while, and had to show up to say, in the face of many doubts and accusations, Huang Jianzhong made a big statement, claiming that he was just drunk at the time and did not know anything that happened after that. This shameless statement shocked everyone on the spot, because it was clear that the images in the tape could not be interpreted as simple "drunk".
What is even more infuriating is that several directors on Huang Jianzhong's joint list openly "humiliated" Zhang Yu. It is claimed that Zhang Yu will do anything for the sake of traffic.
What is even more disappointing is that some people in the entertainment industry actually sided with Huang Jianzhong. It is necessary to unite with many industry insiders on the list, ban Zhang Yu, and try to label her as a "problem actor".
It has to be said that the power of capital is unimaginable to ordinary people. Although Zhang Yu took twenty tapes of video tape to the court to sue Huang Jianzhong, the court ultimately dismissed her appeal on the grounds of "insufficient evidence" when the evidence was so conclusive.
Zhang Yu's future
Zhang Yu's "videotape" incident shocked the entire entertainment industry, and the court's rejection also meant that she completely lost her future in the entertainment industry.
Although her brave actions have aroused some voices of social change, this has not changed the status quo of capital in the industry. Obviously, Zhang Yu lost, and he lost badly.
Soon after, she returned to her hometown in ashes. Perhaps leaving the entertainment industry is also her best choice to protect herself.
But the truth is brutal. Even if Zhang Yu returned to his hometown, he was often pointed at. After all, her name has been linked to scandals in the entertainment industry, and in any case, the label of "unspoken rules" may stay with her for the rest of her life. For an actor who was once full of hope and longing, this is a heavy past.
But no matter where her future leads, she will always be remembered as someone who dares to speak the truth.
Epilogue:
However, Zhang Yu's exposure not only allows us to see the dark side of the entertainment industry, but also makes us begin to reflect on the seriousness of the problem of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.
Her courage and persistence have inspired countless people to stand up and stand on the side of justice and set up a banner to expose sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.
After Zhang Yu, more and more people began to call for more ethical and moral norms for the entertainment industry to protect the dignity and rights of every practitioner.
I believe that with the joint efforts of the government and the general public, we can create a fairer and safer performing arts environment, ensure that every artist can pursue their dreams in an atmosphere free from gender discrimination and sexual harassment, build a reputation with their true talents, and let the audience see more high-quality works.
