Niu Chengze is a well-known director in Taiwan, and he debuted as a child star. His works include many movies such as the once popular "安官方", "LOVE" and "Military Paradise", and have won many awards.

Niu Chengze, who seems smooth sailing in the outside world, was involved in a sexual assault case in 2018 and was sentenced to four years in prison by a Taiwanese court on April 14, 2020.
Niu Chengze, who is 53 years old this year, made such a mistake. The editor thinks it is really not right. As a well-known director, how could he be so disrespectful to women and violate the law?
Niu Chengze was surrounded by reporters at the door of the court
Niu Chengze has a lot of dark history. In 2018, he sexually assaulted his female assistant. As early as 2007, without informing him, he forced Ke Huanru to shoot a nude 5-hour bed scene, and he played the male lead. When filming "LOVE", as a director, he privately filmed a bed scene for Shu Qi , which made the reputation of this romantic director always very bad in the entertainment industry.
01.
Time goes back to 2018, when Niu Chengze was filming the movie "Running Horse". One night when the movie was filming, Niu Chengze tricked the woman into her home under the excuse of work and committed bad behavior on her.
was interviewed by many media, causing a sensation
Later, the girl ran to call the police, The local police found the DNA of Niu Chengze's saliva on the girl, which also became evidence of Niu Chengze's sexual assault on the girl. Although Niu Chengze later denies everything, he ultimately fails to escape legal sanctions.
On April 14, 2020, Taiwanese media reported that Niu Chengze was sentenced to four years in prison for compulsory sexual intercourse by a Taiwanese court. Such a penalty as can also be regarded as an explanation for everything the girl suffered.
However, many netizens were very dissatisfied with the punishment result when they saw this. Many netizens felt that the judgment was too light, because after the sexual assault incident of , Niu Chengze did not admit his mistakes honestly and repent, but denied it in every possible way, and never admitted the fact of his sexual assault, and had made many small moves during this period.
02.
Niu Chengze was exposed for his sexual assault, and his series of actions can also show his guilt.
When the court opened in March this year, Niu Chengze argued that he really liked the female assistant. He thought that the female assistant also loved him very much, so he boldly had further physical contact with the female assistant. He did not intend to sexually assault at that time. He thought it was something you and I would like to do, but the female assistant was just a little shy.
Niu Chengze makes indecent actions in public
Niu Chengze shamelessly argues for his animal behavior in court.
, and the court staff did not listen to his argument. They believed that Niu Chengze and the female assistant were in the relationship between the boss and the employee. The reason why the girl did not resist Niu Chengze was because the girl was afraid that she would be fired after she refused him, but this did not mean that the girl agreed to have sex with Niu Chengze, which was against the woman's wishes.
So Niu Chengze was found guilty of sexual assault and was sentenced to 4 years in prison.
However, when Niu Chengze was just exposed in 2018, in order to prevent himself from being imprisoned, he proposed to settle 600,000 yuan for the female assistant, but the girl did not agree at the time. Later in 2019, when Niu Chengze's sexual assault was intensifying, he increased the compensation to 1 million to receive a commutation of sentence.
However, no matter how Niu Chengze operates, he cannot escape legal sanctions.
Niu Chengze's sexual assault on the female assistant was not accidental, nor was it caused by his sudden emotional excitement. Niu Chengze has been exposed before and has had a scandal with many actresses.
This includes 5 hours of nude scenes with Taiwanese actress Ke Huanru and a private addition of bed scenes with Shu Qi. The reason why Niu Chengze is so domineering in the entertainment industry is inseparable from his deep family background and his childhood experience.
03.
Niu Chengzecheng publicly stated many times that his family background is very deep. Niu Chengze's grandfather was a senior officer when he was young, and his mother even won a grand prize like the National Literature and Art Award.
Niu Chengze is a descendant of the Manchu Niuhulu family and is the blood of the serious royal family in the Qing Dynasty. Niu Chengze's ancestors were Empress Dowager Ci'an during the formal Qing Dynasty. It can be said that the background and connections of the Niu Chengze family were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Niu Chengze has been very interested in acting since he was a child, so his family used some resources to help him. When Niu Chengze was 9 years old, he had already started to participate in TV series and movies. It can be said that he made a child star debut.
So, after that, he transformed into a director, which is inseparable from the help of his family.
Of course, the editor has to say that many of the movies directed by Niu Chengze are still good, and he has also made many celebrities famous with his own hands. Niu Chengze can be said to have been smooth sailing in his career.
However, when Niu Chengze was 12 years old, his father was seriously ill, and his younger brother was not in good health since childhood, so His mother gave more love to his younger brother. Niu Chengze, who was young, had suffered from depression due to these reasons.
Niu Chengze rarely received maternal love since he was a child, and he felt very depressed in his life, so after Niu Chengze became an adult, he lost himself for a while and was deeply trapped in alcohol and sex, which made Niu Chengze's temper particularly irritable.
Perhaps this also laid the groundwork for the ridiculous things Niu Chengze did in the future.
When Niu Chengze was filming, there were always many staff members around him, but all the staff members of cannot go against his intentions. He just said one thing, and if something goes wrong, he would get furious, so Niu Chengze’s reputation in the entertainment industry is not very good.
This is how he is self-centered, using his identity as a director, doing whatever he wants in the crew, and others dare not stop him. This is why the Ke Huanru incident and Shu Qi incident later appeared.
04.
After the incident of Niu Chengze's sexual assault on female assistant in 2018, another Taiwanese actress stood up to accuse Niu Chengze of improper behavior. This actress only had the courage to stand up and accuse Niu Chengze of 11 years later. She was Ke Huanru.
Niu Chengze and Ke Huanru
In 2007, Niu Chengze was filming the movie "The Way to Survive" when the heroine in the play was Ke Huanru, and Niu Chengze played Ke Huanru's boyfriend in the play.
The script for Ke Huanru at that time did not introduce the plot in detail. It was not until Ke Huanru arrived on the set that she clearly understood the plot of the day. It turned out that a bed scene was filming that day, and Niu Chengze also asked Ke Huanru to go all naked.
The news of being exposed
This nude scene was filmed for more than 5 hours. These more than 5 hours of experience caused psychological trauma to Ke Huanru.
Later, Ke Huanru said that she felt very uncomfortable after returning home. When a reporter asked about Niu Chengze about this afterwards, Niu Chengze said that arranging a nude scene was a need for the plot development, and Ke Huanru also discussed the filming content on the set. She agreed at that time, and Ke Huanru did not show any unhappiness at that time.
In fact, it is understandable that actresses shoot naked for art, but why not inform them in advance? Is this fair to Ke Huanru?
was notified on the day of shooting that this was clearly a rush to put it on the shelves, and Ke Huanru was forced to agree.During the 11 years since the incident, Ke Huanru could not erase this incident, so in 2018, she stood up and accused Niu Chengze of his bad behavior again.
is a unique coincidence. Even the big star Shu Qi has been arranged by Niu Chengze like this.
05.
When Niu Chengze was filming "LOVE", it was revealed that Niu Chengze deliberately added a bed scene to Shu Qi. Later, when Niu Chengze faced this question, he also refused to admit that he deliberately added a bed scene to Shu Qi, which was also a need to promote the plot.
I believe Niu Chengze must be much smarter in the face of a big star like Shu Qi. He once said that he would create a passionate scene for Shu Qi to break through himself. As an "old actor" who has seen the world, Shu Qi disagreed with Niu Chengze's extra play. All of this seemed to be in his "calculation".
When the movie was released, Shu Qi was also very grateful to director Niu Chengze. She once said that she would look for a boyfriend, so she wanted to find Niu Chengze like this.
But now, Niu Chengze was sent to jail for sexual assault. I don’t know what Shu Qi, who said this at that time, would think when she saw this. The editor thinks she should regret commenting on Niu Chengze like this.
06.
Niu Chengze uses his identity to violate women. This practice is not only subject to moral resistance, but also to the trial of the law. Whether it is Ke Huanru who was forced to film for 5 hours, Shu Qi who was extra bed scene, or the female assistant who was sexually assaulted by Niu Chengze, the law will eventually give them justice.
editor hopes that female friends must protect themselves in the workplace in the future. When they encounter bosses or colleagues who behave improperly, they must take up legal weapons to protect themselves and not let more female compatriots be injured.
The editor also hopes that Niu Chengze can reform himself after being released from prison in 2024 and not repeat the same mistakes.
