April 5, "Weekly Women's PRIME" revealed that the well-known Japanese director Azuko Wen used his power to sexually assault several actresses.
And the Japanese actor, Yuki Matsuzaki, who has participated in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and "Letters from Iwo Jima", reported on the various evil deeds of Aoko-Wen starting from March 26.
According to Yuki Matsuzaki, Azuko-wen not only used the director's power to make unspoken rules and even sexually assaulted dozens of actresses, but actors who passed Azuko-wen's audition would have to pay 40,000 yen first to get the ticket to join the studio. Not only that, the actors also need to pay another 60,000 to 200,000 to be able to act.
Take Yuanziwen's previous work "The Red Oil Barrel on Escher Street" as an example. All the actors who participated paid 100,000 yen, of which 40,000 was the cost of joining the studio and 60,000 was the production fee.
Who is Yuanziwen, who is so arrogant and has a bad reputation in the Japanese film and television industry? Friends who are familiar with Japanese movies should be familiar with the name Yuanziwen.
Yuanziwen was born in Aichi Prefecture. He started writing modern poem at the age of 17, specializing in satirizing the darkness of society and his dissatisfaction with human nature, which was deeply loved by angry young people.
He once joined a cult organization and lived a beggar-like life in New York. He only started to devote himself to the field of film and television creation after dropping out of the School of Literature of Law and Political University. There is no doubt that Yuanziwen is talented. Although he is not a professional, his second work, "A man's hanamichi" won the Tokyo Film Festival Awards.
His representative work "Cycle", won the 10 best works of the year awarded by the 2002 Japanese Film Professional Award. The works " Love Exposure ", " Cold Tropical Fish ", "Love Crime", and " Mediocre " were selected as the three major international film festivals in , .
has experienced all kinds of ugliness of human nature and has been scattered at the bottom of society. Yuan Ziwen is good at exploring distorted human nature in the film. She likes bloody violence, and her standards and three views are challenging the limits. In his words, burning out desires with movies is the only purpose of living.
can unexpectedly make the audience feel that Yuanziwen is not only bold in the movie, but also has no lower limit even in real life.
Yuanziwen relies on his high popularity both in Japan and overseas, and he is also unscrupulous in "taking action" against actresses. Yuanziwen once publicly stated in the circle that "you can work for you as long as you have sex with me." , and even proudly showed off that as long as he starred in his heroine, he would basically not fail.
In addition to Yuki Matsuzaki's revelations, the victims A, B, and C all came out to reveal the shameless actions of Aoko-in.
Yuanziwen invited actress A, who was about to star in his new film, to his office, and asked for an improper relationship with A, but after A refused. Yuanziwen called actress B from the previous work on the spot and had sex in front of A.
Afterwards, the assistant director who was also present took A away. A thought he had finally escaped from the clutches, but he never thought that the assistant director took A to the lover's hotel.
Yuanziwen also made actress C come to a hotel on the grounds of work. After a few words, he asked C if he had a boyfriend. Yuanziwen wanted C to call her boyfriend while having sex with him. When C answered that he had no boyfriend, Yuanziwen said directly, "You go and hand in one for me."
What's more terrifying is that when facing an actress who disobeys, Yuanziwen will set up a plan with other actors or staff to let the actress submit.
The day after various scandals were exposed, that is, on April 6, the firm where Yuanziwen belongs also published his handwritten apology letter. He wrote,
"I am very sorry for the troubles caused by the weekly women's articles published on April 5, 2022 to all relevant personnel, as well as the audience of the work. I lack the awareness of being a film director, and I have not considered the people around me carefully. I will re-examine this point in the future. However, many parts of the articles reported by the weekly magazine are inconsistent with the facts, which will cause trouble to other relevant personnel, so I decided to take corresponding measures through the agent."
, and an 8-episode series of comedy written and directed by Azuko Wen, scheduled to be released next year, has now been filmed to the end, but it may be suspended due to this scandal, and Azuko Wen may also face compensation of tens of millions of yen.
In fact, in addition to Azuko Wen, the Japanese film and television industry has been frequently struggling with mines recently. Directors Shizuko Hero and actor Kinisho Miyaki were both reported to have sexually assaulted several actresses.
This unhealthy trend made the famous director . Six directors including Yuka Koreya , Mika Nishikawa , Akiji Fukada and other six directors have issued a joint statement opposing the use of director's power to commit violence.
For Azuko Wen, who has experienced the warmth and ugliness of human nature, he has imposed more ugliness on innocent victims. Even though he is talented, when people mention his name in the future, they will only think of pornography, sexual assault and filth, rather than how great the movie he made. This is also a gift he sewed for himself for the rest of his life!
