On the evening of October 28, according to Taiwan media reports, the famous director Niu Chengze was determined to serve a prison sentence on November 30 for sexually assaulting female staff, starting a four-year "prison journey".
In fact, Niu Chengze was supposed to start the prison sentence on November 2, but because he suddenly transferred his household registration to Hualien and applied to change the place of serving his sentence to Hualien on the grounds of settling his old mother at home.
On October 28, the Hualien District Prosecutor's Office agreed to postpone the release of prison to November 30, so Niu Chengze unexpectedly gained nearly a month's leave, which of course also means that the release from prison will also be delayed by one month.
The chief prosecutor of the Hualien District Prosecutor's Office revealed that he had activated the relevant mechanisms to prevent escape to ensure the execution of the prison, so there was no need to worry about any small actions by Niu Chengze in this month's time.
Speaking of this case, it has been a long time. As early as December 2018, Niu Chengze was sued by the victim, the other party is the female crew of the movie "Running Horse" directed by Niu Chengze, during which Niu Chengze took the initiative to talk close, and invited the woman and her supervisor to come to the home party in November, the supervisor left at 9 pm, leaving only the two alone, and chatted until the early morning, so Niu Chengze took advantage of the drunkenness on the sofa to ignore the opposition and wanted to sexually assault the woman.
However, due to the fierce resistance of the woman, so Niu Chengze can only give up, the following picture is the woman's arm injured and bruised during the resistance, and the saliva on the body can also prove that it is Niu Chengze's DNA.
Despite Niu Chengze's cunning arguments on various grounds, the court still impartially sentenced niu Chengze to 4 years in prison for "compulsory surrender".
After that, Niu Chengze appealed to the Supreme Court, saying that the woman had a good feeling for her and wanted to get away with it on the grounds that the direction of the boyfriend and girlfriend had developed, but the woman posted the chat record and denied it, and the Supreme Court believed that he "lacked the awareness of gender equality and no remorse", so it upheld the original judgment.
On September 29 of this year, the Supreme Court once again rejected Niu Chengze's appeal, and now that the overall situation has been decided, the disaster of four years in prison cannot be escaped.
Niu Chengze has participated in the production of many classic films, such as "The Way to Survive", "Mengjia", "Paradise in the Army", "Love", etc., has won many awards, is not small in the industry, and when accused of sexual assault, netizens are shocked by this.
In fact, after the outbreak of the Niu Chengze incident, half of the "Running Horse" crew disbanded, in fact, there is another victim who was greatly affected, that is, the starring Ren Xianqi. At that time, Ren Xianqi gained weight for this film, and was once ridiculed as fat as a small plum, making a very big sacrifice for the role, netizens laughed and called Ren Xianqi "white and fat".
But Ren Xianqi did not give up, and it was previously reported that he threw money to buy the copyright of "Running Horse" and insisted on finishing the film. The media ridiculed that the film remuneration has been lost, why should we continue to invest money. Ren Xianqi said that he was filming for his dreams, and a good script was the best salary.
Looking forward to the broadcast of the film, I also hope that Niu Chengze will reflect on himself in prison.
