Wu Yifan, a top member of the internal entertainment industry, was criminally detained on suspicion of rape and stirred up the entire Chinese entertainment industry, but he is not a precedent.
As early as the late 1970s, Hollywood's leading film director Roman Polanski was arrested on multiple charges, including providing banned drugs to minors, committing indecent acts against children, and raping minors with drugs.
Speaking of Roman Polanski, many readers may not know who he is, but the CCTV movie channel "Good Film has a date" will play the big man's classic film "Tess of the D'Dberwell Family" from time to time.
The film became a household name in China, and director Polanski was well known to domestic audiences.
Just two years before the film's release, or rather on March 11, 1977, Polanski was arrested by U.S. police in Los Angeles.
The girl who appealed was Samantha Gemmer, a 13-year-old tender model who accused Polanski of being obsessed with her.
Roman Polanski came into contact with Gemmer because he was commissioned by Vogue Hommes Fashion Magazine to photograph teenage models from all over the world.
Polanski had taken a picture of Gemmer once, and in the second shot, with her mother's permission, Polanski was photographed alone with Gemmer.
It is precisely because of the negligence of the parents that it indirectly led to what happened next.
Polanski drove Himer to Jack Nicholson's mansion on Mulholland Road.
Choosing this place to shoot is a deep friendship between Nicholson and Polanski.
As early as 1975, Polanski directed a movie called "Chinatown", invited Jack Nicholson to be the male number one, and was eventually nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor that year. Therefore, Nicholson was very grateful and trusted of Polanski.
For Nicholson, Polanski was not only a film partner, but also a close friend of life.
Nicholson often invited Polanski to his home to Hollywood celebrity parties, and as a guest, even his mansion could be lent to Polanski.
This time was no exception, taking a picture of Gemmer, and Nicholson agreed.
However, Jack Nicholson happened to be out of the house, but was opened by the housekeeper.
Just before filming, Gemmer said he was a little thirsty, so he went to the kitchen to get champagne and asked her if she wanted to open it, and she said it didn't matter.
Polanski then took out a tablet of sleeping ketone, which was contraband, broken into three small pieces.
But in Hollywood, every star has quietly tried, and Polanski is naturally not immune to entering this glitzy circle.
He asked Gemmer if he needed a try, and she acquiesced.
After drinking champagne, Polanski asked Gemmer to lean against the bay window in the living room to take a picture, asking her to take off her shirt and enter the tub, and Polanski took out his camera and began shooting.
Gemmer stood in the tub looking at Polanski's shot, and the water was almost at her waist.
After taking a few shots, Polanski felt that there was not enough light, so she left the pool and followed Polanski back to the room.
The two dried their bodies against each other, and their eyes inadvertently met, creating a hazy sense of ambiguity.
Polanski could not suppress the desire to bump into the fawn in his chest, approached Gemmer, kissed her, and Gemmer hesitated, dissuading Polanski from going any closer.
Afterwards, Gammer felt dizzy, and she couldn't remember the details of what happened, but the only thing she could remember was Polanski's rape of her using drugs.
In the 1970s, before computers and social media were yet widespread, the police forensic process was far more complicated and took longer to investigate than it was in today's days when social information was rife.
Polanski fears he will be sentenced to life in prison and will not be able to realize his unfulfilled film dreams.
On February 1, 1978, he drove to Los Angeles International Airport to buy a one-way ticket to Europe and never returned to the United States.
The United States not only closed the door to permanent confinement against Polanski, but also issued a Red International Arrest Warrant against him.
Polanski, who fled to France, continued to work on filmmaking, but this incident added to his inner gloom.
It is said that "three years old sees old", which stems first of all from his tragic childhood experience.
As a child, he witnessed his father being sent to a Nazi concentration camp and his mother being shot.
Such a tragic encounter is a memory pain that ordinary teenagers cannot bear, and a layer of desolate fate like a shadow like a fierce omen is shrouded in the heart of young Polanski.
When he became famous in Hollywood, he also met true love.
He fell in love with actress Sharon Tarter at first sight and soon built a love nest together. When he was full of joy and wanted to hold his lover together for a lifetime, the cult Manson family ruthlessly swung the knife at Sharontatt and the baby in his belly.
If you look closely at "Rosemary's Baby", shot in 1968, the year before his wife was brutally murdered, you will find that this film is actually a true portrayal of his tragic emotional life.
Back to his 1979 film "Tess", it is rumored that the heroine of the film, natasha Kinsky, who was just 18 years old, met director Polanski before the film began, eating and living together.
Polanski soon gained a foothold in Europe and nearly faced another crisis in his life because of a sex scandal similar to that in the United States.
However, compared with conservative American society, Europe is open and tolerant of gender relations. The seemingly innocent scandal between him and Kinsky soon disappeared into the sands of history.
It is said that history is reincarnated, the entertainment industry is only a very small part of history, the Polanski sex scandal case in the 1970s has not yet been settled, and the Sexual Assault Case of Wu Yifan in the 1910s has swept in and swept in.
Interestingly, Polanski, who once made mistakes and now lives a dull life, has left a large number of excellent works for the audience to savor.
And Wu Yifan has the title of the top of the internal entertainment, but it is not worthy of the name, not too excellent, memorable works, but at the age of thirty and the career future was ruined, directly lying flat in the blacklist of bad artists, people sigh!
