The "Wu Yifan Incident" that has been making a lot of noise is over.
Just in the interval when the public was addicted to eating Wu Yifangua, a documentary by HBO was launched.
The documentary has only 6 episodes, and the single episode lasts less than half an hour, but the content exposed in each episode is more and more impactful.
Facts have proved that Wu Yifan is not an isolated case, and there is a precedent for such a "bizarre" and frightening story in the entertainment industry.
And the story of this Hollywood big guy is much more "terrible".
This documentary is an independent investigative report on the shocking sexual assault case of Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Podcast Hunt: A Hollywood Sex Scandal
The protagonist of the documentary is Harvey Weinstein, who was once a very influential figure in the world of cinema in the world today.
He is the owner of TWC, the founder of Miramax, and the "gold producer" in Hollywood.
He led the Miramax company that produced and distributed a large number of classic films, Quentin and he were old partners, Zhang Yimou, Wong Kar-wai, Giuseppe Tornatore and many other international directors have worked with him, he is called "the savior of modern cinema".
He is the "queen of the film", with two small golden men, the twenty-time Oscar-nominated Meryl Streep at the awards site specially thanked him, calling him "God".
According to incomplete statistics, more than 70 of the films he participated in producing and distributing won Oscar awards and more than 300 were nominated for Oscars.
For more than thirty years, Harvey Weinstein has undoubtedly been a godfather of the Hollywood pyramid, and has become the goalkeeper of the dreams that countless filmmakers dream of knowing.
But this, on the contrary, has become his "helper" on the road of sin, Harvey rampantly allows sexual desire to do evil, uses the dreams of others to take advantage, and abuses women for more than thirty years.
Among them are many well-known figures, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Leia Saidu, and Carla Divay have all been harassed and threatened to varying degrees by him.
Until the advent of Ambra.
Ambra, a model of Filipino Italian descent, has a Filipino mother, an Italian father, and a younger brother who is 2 years younger.
Ambra's father has been abusing domestic violence for many years, and then he left, so that in order to make the family live, Ambra participated in the Italian beauty contest.
Because of her outstanding looks and good figure, Ambra successfully reached the final.
At that time, Italy's high society was also chaotic, and Amberra became famous on television, attracted attention, and was brought to a "Milano Poretti Villa" by the agent in the name of work.
This is the outskirts of Milan where the so-called "job" is to attend a bachelorette party in Berlusconi.
At the party, men and women, bright and green, danced in order to win the favor of those in power, Andra could not stand it, and left the scene early with her friends, receiving a warning:
"Don't you want to mess around here."
Later, in order to have better development, she came to New York to seek better development.
A month after arriving in the United States, she met Harvey. Harvey took out the way he tricked the little star and forcibly violated Ambra.
On the night of the assault, Ambra told the agent and then went straight to the police station to call the police.
Unexpectedly, after Ambra said these things, the police said a sentence "What happened again?" ", apparently, she wasn't the first victim.
Just as Ambra was sitting at the police station and describing what had happened, Harvey called her.
Harvey gets angry and asks Why Ambra didn't go to see his Broadway musical "In Search of Neverland", and Ambra prevaricates with ill health.
But soon, she thought that since Harvey had called on her initiative, she could use it to show evidence that he had violated her.
So Ambra asked:
"How does my chest feel?"
Harvey was defenseless, even a little smug, saying:
The conversation was enough to prove that Ambra was telling the truth, but for the sake of prudence, the police wanted more conclusive evidence, and they proposed an "undercover plan" in the hope that Amberra would go to see Harvey the next day, with a surveillance device.
Ambra agreed, and there was later shocking audio evidence.
During this conversation, Ambra succeeded in getting Harvey to confess.
After the successful escape, the recorded evidence was also submitted to the police, and soon the matter reached the prosecutor's step.
But no one expected that the case that seemed to have been closed had only just begun.
When Ambra was interrogated by the district prosecutor, instead of questioning the case, she questioned Ambra's identity, and the prosecutor, who was also a woman, asked her if she was a prostitute.
Ambola's previous private party in Italy has also been turned over, and prosecutors are more curious about Berlusconi's personal sexual relationship with Ambra than the case itself.
While waiting for the case to be processed, Harvey's lawyers dug up the Italian report through the intelligence company.
Ambra's "black material" was dug up, she was "identified" as an "illegal prostitute", and her smear appeared in the major gossip media in the United States.
Calling the police has been smeared as "sex trafficking", is this operation familiar?
While Ambra was waiting for news from the prosecutor's office, she didn't expect to wait for the news in the newspaper — Harvey wouldn't be prosecuted because of insufficient evidence.
In fact, by this time, the police's recorded evidence had been destroyed by the local prosecutor's office.
Immediately afterward, Ambra's lawyer sent her an email with a contract That Harvey wanted to sign.
Through this contract, Harvey said that Ambra could be "freed" in exchange for monetary rewards, and the opening price rose from $300,000 to $500,000, and finally settled on $1 million.
Ambra was not impressed, but on this very day, Ambra's brother called her and said that someone had come to him where he worked and asked him about Ambra.
Ambra found that the matter had spread to her family, and in desperation, Ambra decided to accept the agreement.
The 18-page agreement, where Ambra had to hand over all her electronic communications equipment, everything returned to "calm," and Amber left the United States and fell into chronic depression.
It wasn't until 2 years later, when Ronan was sorting out the case, that he saw Ambra's gossip report and contacted Ambra's lawyer, which made Amberra come forward again.
Ambra brought with her the Million Agreement, and the recordings she had hidden for 2 years that were more impactful than the Agreement.
It turned out that 2 years ago, when she cooperated with the police on an undercover mission and contacted Harvey, she not only wore a bugging device on her body, she also opened her mobile phone and secretly recorded the sound.
A backup of the recording had been destroyed under harvey's lawyer's supervision, but she secretly kept a copy and sent it to an infrequent mailbox, becoming the deadliest weapon to bring Harvey down.
With ambra's conclusive evidence, Ronan begins an investigation into the entire case.
This Hollywood gangster sex scandal involved people and power far beyond his imagination.
Harvey manipulated all the channels he wanted to speak out, and Ronan was working at NBC, choosing the topic, being told that he couldn't change it, and taking away the equipment and manpower he needed for the interview.
How hard did Ronan rely on his own ability to sort out the information and report it to his superiors, but he was told that the information did not meet the standards that could be published, and once again he wanted to sink into the sea?
At this time, a reporter that Ronan had interviewed earlier gave him a new way out.
The reporter from The New Yorker tracked and reported on Harvey for years, but in the '90s, Harvey was so powerful in Hollywood that no one dared to testify, and they always lacked such decisive evidence as "recording" and "human testimony."
Fortunately, this time, Ronan had it.
The reporter introduced Ronan to the New Yorker, who received his investigative materials and sent 2 reviewers to investigate and review all the information in the data.
During the review, many people contacted them to expose what Harvey had done to them, including a former Chinese secretary.
Looking back, Harvey has been in power in Hollywood for more than 30 years, and the violations have not just begun to be done, and after such a long time, is everyone unaware of his affairs?
Or even if you know, you keep your mouth shut, why?
Before Ronan, two journalists had also followed up on Harvey's incident, and finally lost it.
Here's a little bit more about Ronan's identity, he is the son of director Woody Allen and actress Mia Farrow, of course, woody Allen is his biological father is still debatable.
Prior to this case, he had personally experienced Woody Allen's alleged sexual assault of his adopted daughter, his "sister", and he had always been on the side of his "sister".
Ronan could not tolerate the use of power to satisfy his own desires.
The title of the documentary is Catch and Kill, as in Ronan Farrow's book The Hunt.
Documentaries came out later than the book, but they were all dominated by Ronan Farrow, and this documentary is more worth watching than the book itself.
Through 6 episodes, the key characters and events are refined, starting from different angles, allowing us to see the whole picture of the event more clearly.
Archival materials that had never been seen before were even released, such as conclusive evidence, a recording of Weinstein.
He spent 10 months investigating interviews, going through a series of "extraordinary" means such as being suppressed, being tracked, and being monitored, and finally exposing the heinous evils and darkness that Harvey Weinstein had been covered up for many years.
The most powerful PR emperor at the tip of Hollywood's pyramid has finally been brought down.
Perhaps before that, we only watched Harvey's story to watch gossip news, but after experiencing the Wu Yifan incident, we will find that the two events are intertextual in many ways.
Harvey has been using private detective offices to find the "bad" background of these people who sued him, and to pressure these victims through their close media, which eventually led to them signing "confidentiality agreements" one by one, and the big things became small and small.
Once the victims are out of control, they can suppress them from other levels, and the reporters sacrifice their lives to investigate the truth, and in the end, no one will report, and no one will dare to report.
But these are all incorrect.
This documentary shows us the truth about sexual assault by American bigwigs, it gives the best example of how victims should deal with it, and it also tells us one thing:
"Secrets can never be hidden, let alone dirty secrets."
