On April 14, according to the latest news from Taiwan media, the director Niu Chengze was sentenced to four years in prison.
"I will do my best to cooperate with the investigation and wait for the results of the investigation, but in fact, outside the judiciary, there is a public trial that is already underway, I have been sentenced to death, and Niu Chengze is dead."
On December 7, 2018, Niu Chengze stood in front of the police station and bowed and apologized for sexually assaulting the staff! At that moment, he personally killed his career and public image!
He became famous at the age of 16, studied under Hou Xiaoxian, was a witness to Taiwan's new wave films in the 80s, was a popular actor in the 90s, and after transforming into a director in 2000, he launched the phenomenon-level film "Mengjia", which pushed Ruan Jingtian to the throne of the Golden Horse Film Emperor!
As an actor and director, Niu Chengze's resume is shining! But Niu Chengze in life is also an indulgent prodigal son.
He and Lin Xiaoming fought together in groups, mixed gangs, emotionally split legs, drank heavily, and pried Yu Zonghua's girlfriend, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, took advantage of Zhang Junning when filming, scolded female reporters, and forced Ke Wanru to shoot naked, leaving a shadow on the other party.
Niu Chengze's bad deeds are innumerable, and they also laid the fuse for today's tragedy, and finally lost his reputation.
"I like the original meaning of the word ship — boat, we are in the vast sea of life, who is not that boat?" 」 As the captain of life, Niu Chengze has long lost his direction.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > absurd</h1>
Niu Chengze was born in a famous family, was a descendant of the general, his maternal great-grandfather was named Kong Huaqing, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Feng Yuxiang's brother-in-law, and his grandfather was the Kuomintang general Zhang Zaiyu, who once took him in and out of Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
The glory of the family sheltered Niu Chengze, who had lived in the general's mansion since he was a child, and was a private aristocratic school, with extremely superior material conditions.
Even if he is in a rich family, as a child of the family, what Niu Chengze sees is his "weak" side.
"My father fell ill when I was twelve, and his temper was getting worse and worse, and his personality was getting more and more gloomy. I was very afraid to see my father in rebellious adolescence, he sat at the desk every day after the onset of the disease, shaking his hand and pen to write family letters, doing the same thing every day, recalling his childhood, telling his thoughts, but his body was getting thinner and thinner, but I was out mixing and escaping every day. ”
Niu Chengze's way of escaping is filming and mixing society! Foreign bus friends are vast, including directors, with the introduction of grandfather, Niu Chengze became a child star at a young age, starring in movies such as "Little Rain Silk" and "Incense".
The lack of father's love makes Niu Chengze desperately desire maternal love, but his mother is always taking care of his sick father and frail brother on weekdays, "Only when filming, I can completely dominate my mother." Niu Chengze fell in love with acting.
At the age of 15, Niu Chengze went to the Guoguang Art School to study acting, leaving his mother's constraints, and he grew up unscrupulously in school like a wild horse that had lost its reins. His grades were always at the bottom of the class, but his stubbornness was known throughout the school.
He once pulled down Qu Zhongheng's pants in front of all the students in the school, engaged in kissing competitions, pulled the girl into the toilet, and persuaded her to kiss himself; drank and punched in class, and the bad deeds were countless.
In addition to teasing his classmates, the young and vigorous Niu Chengze also mixed gangs with Lin Xiaoming and fought and fought. "Once I came out of the dance hall of the hotel, he and I were surrounded by more than a dozen people, I was beaten to the ground, watching him also be beaten, the picture is like the slow motion of the movie, I will never forget it for a lifetime." 」
Years later, he said of the time: "It was ridiculous, but fortunately, no matter how big the matter was, the knife in my hand never stabbed into anyone else's body." ”
Despite his stubbornness, being the boss is not the target of Niu Chengze's pursuit, and his hobby is still in acting. At the age of 16, he took over the film "The Story of Xiao Bi" and met Hou Xiaoxian.
Hou Xiaoxian became the enlightenment teacher of Niu Chengze's performance, "He told me that I should never act with expressions, and that heartfelt emotions can be conveyed through my eyes." ”
Niu Chengze opened his skills in acting, playing the ignorant and ignorant young boy Xiao Bi, whose outstanding acting skills made him nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, and then he starred in Hou Xiaoxian's "The Man from the Wind Cabinet", becoming a witness to Taiwan's new wave films in the 80s.
"When I was seventeen, I had a dream that I would write and direct myself to become an all-rounder filmmaker in the future."
In order to realize his dream, Niu Chengze developed towards the path of an actor, he filmed in the show business circle for 17 years, but the reality is cruel, his acting skills have never broken through, and his career has also reached an impasse.
Unwilling to give up his dream, in 2000, he transformed from an actor to a director, shooting TV series such as "Toast Man's Kiss" and "Fancy Boy and Girl", which opened another door for his career.
In order to shoot a youthful and nostalgic script, "From 2005 to 2009, in the four years since the official start of filming of "Mengjia", I and co-screenwriter Zeng Liting have constantly discussed, revised, and turned faces, which has gone through a long and painful process. ”
Starlight lives up to the passers-by! In 2010, after the release of Niu Chengze's "Mengjia", it received 260 million box office, which was universally praised by fans, starring Ruan Jingtian ascended to the throne of the film emperor, Niu Chengze gained fame and fortune, and he truly completed his dream!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > depravity</h1>
If Niu Chengze can restrain himself in the relationship between the sexes, he may have greater achievements! Unfortunately, at the same time as he went step by step to success, fame and fortune were like catalysts, and they also released the evil desire in his heart!
"In my memories and memories, there have been many madness and depression, and I have tried to commit suicide because of my absurd years, but these days have passed."
And the reality is that he hasn't changed himself!
Emotionally, Niu Chengze is notoriously flowery and indulgent, he took advantage of his friend Yu Zonghua's military service, snatched away his girlfriend Lin Xiuling, and then split his legs to learn his sister Yang Lumei, Yu Zonghua said bluntly in the variety show: "I don't like him, because the way to do things is not the right way." “
After transforming into a director, indulgence became his way of "reducing pressure". Because of his busy work, he fell into the vice of alcoholism and wandered among different women at the same time, "At first, with a strong sense of guilt, I tried my best to deceive and hide, and then I began to indulge myself. ”
At the height of his career, he frequently went to nightclubs, choosing to numb himself with sex, alcohol, drugs, shopping, and even confessed that "everything was done during that period." ”
Pressure is his reason for indulgence, and filming is an excuse for him to "embarrass" actresses. He once publicly said that he "liked Zhang Junning", so when filming "I am in Kenting with sunny weather", he personally demonstrated how to perform a kissing scene and kissed Zhang Junning's neck.
A female reporter asked him about this behavior, and he was furious on the spot: "Whatever you like to write, I don't care about what the media writes anymore, I will be myself now, can I?" ”
When directing "The Way to Survive", he did not consult with Ke Yanru until before the start of filming, and told Ke Yanru that he must be naked, and Ke Yanru, who was not prepared, could only harden, and after filming, she left a shadow in her heart.
In order to succeed, Niu Chengze's bottom line is getting lower and lower, and even touches the law. In 2013, in order to survey the new film, he illegally took Yao Chen's husband Cao Yu into the navy warship, and was later sentenced by the court to 5 months in prison, suspended for 2 years. Niu Chengze responded: "Respect the judiciary, but I really don't know that I broke the law!" “
In 2018, when filming "Running Horse", he invited the staff Member Xiaomei (pseudonym) to come to the home for dinner, and after getting drunk, he pressed Xiaomei on the sofa to force her to have a relationship, resulting in Xiaomei being physically and mentally injured, with multiple bruises on her legs.
After the police investigated and verified, Niu Chengze was prosecuted for "compulsory surrender".
In order to avoid going to jail, Niu Chengze repeatedly apologized to the victims and expressed his remorse. After repeated mediations by lawyers from both sides, he settled with Xiaomei out of court and paid up to 7 figures of "adjustment fees" in order to reduce his sentence.
Due to the impact of the sexual assault case, Niu Chengze's public image fell to the bottom, and the new film he was shooting, "Running Horse", was indefinitely postponed, and poor Ren Xianqi gained 200 pounds for the film, and now the efforts of a crew are in vain.
"I'm very upset about causing such a big fluctuation, causing everyone to work hard, and social discussion. But in my life, I have never hurt others, or coerced others' intentions or actions, so far. Probably because I'm a stupid man, I've been single so far. "
Niu Chengze regretted it, but there was no regret medicine to eat in the world! Now that he has been sentenced to 4 years, he is also self-inflicted.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
As a director, Niu Chengze can add a soft light filter to his absurd behavior to remember youth and resonate with the public. But there is no filter in reality, Niu Chengze's talent is true, hurting others is also true, fighting will hurt someone, sexual assault is a crime!
"In 1987, we walked into the world of adults together and never went back." On the road of indulging himself, Niu Chengze went farther and farther, and where did he come back?
When he finally paid a terrible price for his actions, the prodigal son's extended version of youth also came to an end.
