Recently, there have been constant "sex scandals" in the Japanese entertainment industry.
Not long ago, the Japanese mixed-race actress Mizuhara Kiko 's words in an interview pushed the popularity of women's "sexual harassment" to the peak.
In an interview with the Japanese media "Wenchun Weekly", Kiko Mizuhara revealed that she was sexually harassed by the producer while filming the movie "That Girl" and was temporarily asked to reveal her body hair during the filming process.
Kiko's words caused shock in the Japanese entertainment industry.
But for her revelation, Netizens around the world have different opinions .
Some people understand and empathize with Kiko's experience, believing that women should protect themselves.
Some people also sarcasticized her and asked her why she didn't reveal earlier, and was it for hype .
Some people even scolded her as a Japanese artist with mixed American and Korean race and American nationality, although she developed in Japan, she is not worthy of commenting on the Japanese entertainment industry.
has been attacked by netizens since the revelation, causing Kiko Mizuhara to cry in her ins live broadcast.
In fact, Kiko Mizuhara's experience is just the tip of the iceberg of "sex scandal" .
In Japan, the status of female artists ranks at the bottom of the food chain in the entire entertainment industry.
Even international big names like Kiko Mizuhara will suffer sexual harassment when filming movies. You can imagine what other eighteenth-tier stars encounter.
is not just Japan, the issues of sexual harassment and sexual assault exist in various countries around the world.
We cannot see and do not know it does not mean that it has not happened, nor does it mean that there are no victims.
And Kiko Mizuhara's voice is also destined to make the "sexual harassment" issue again attracted the attention of the international community.
Mizuhara Kiko The producer mentioned in the interview is called Umekawa Jino .
He is Yuanziwen's right-hand man and has served as the producer of many Yuanziwen's works. "That Girl" starring Kiko Mizuhara is translated into Chinese as "She". This movie is produced by Netfei and tells the theme of homosexuality and crime.
Because it wants to express the niche of the kernel, the movie will involve some nude shots and passionate scenes . Kiko Mizuhara knew these scenes in advance.
But during the shooting process, Muikawa Jino suddenly proposed to temporarily add the show . The content of the show was to let her expose her private body hair.
Hearing this request, Kiko Mizuhara refused without hesitation, with a very firm attitude.
Xiko said that there is no "hair-exposed" plot in all contracts and scripts. She has watched many movies, and even if it involves sexual shots, there are few people who show their hair.
She doesn't understand why her work has to "expose her hair".
Xizi said in the interview that if this requirement was written in the contract in advance, it would be impossible for her to agree to film the drama.
Seeing that the hair was exposed, Meichuan put forward a more abnormal idea: "So, how about shaving the body hair and pasting it with fake body hair?" After
, he also sent an email to Mizuhara Kiko's agent, saying that Netfei Company also hoped that she would expose her hair.
This ridiculous request was rejected by Kiko Mizuhara again. After that, she also asked Netflix specifically, and Netflix said that this had never happened.
She only realized that This is Umekawa Jino's personal request.
Afterwards, Meichuan did not respond to this matter, and the movie ended with normal shooting.
The farce made Kiko Mizuhara feel depressed.
In fact, , this is not the first time that Kiko Mizuhara encountered a "sexual harassment" incident during the shooting. .
In 2020, Kiko Mizuhara posted on social media, saying that she needed to expose her upper body when shooting a cosmetics advertisement, and there were only photographers and makeup artists and other staff present.
But during the shooting process, suddenly rushed in with more than 20 male , who should be senior staff of the company.
Kiko Mizuhara, who was not dressed at the time, did not want to be watched like this, but senior executives said that this was just to confirm the shooting effect.
Kiko Mizuhara had no choice but to show her "professional state" and completed the shooting of the advertisement under the eyes of a group of vulgar men. After the incident of
In the interview, Kiko Mizuhara also revealed the experience of his friend being sexually harassed by at .
She used her best friend as an example and said that in a passionate scene, her best friend had a role with an older actor.
In a relatively intense drama, because of his high seniority, the male star has already had a physiological reaction to , refused to put tape on key areas.
Best friend could only swallow his anger and finished filming this scene, and suffered great psychological trauma.
"I think this kind of thing happens often, it's an atmosphere that you have to endure." Mizuhara Kiko said.
In fact, Xizi's statement is not an exaggeration.
In Japan, there are countless well-known directors, actors and producers with bad records.
The first person to bear the brunt is Meichuan's old boss who often visits Yuanziwen, who is the three major film festivals.
Also due to the report of Wenchun Weekly, dozens of actresses have come forward to accuse Yuan Ziwen of sexual assault, harassment, and workplace threats.
Yuanziwen's movie is large in scale and is quite controversial, but he has a high status in the Japanese entertainment industry.
With the help of his position, Yuanziwen often stretched his hand to the actresses in his movies.
A victim said that was asked by Yuanziwen to have sex. After she flatly refused, Yuanziwen actually found the heroine of her previous film and asked her to have sex with him in person, which scared the victim to be at a loss.
Another Japanese movie star revealed that ten years ago, Yuanziwen was pulled to a hotel forcibly kissed and molested. After escaping, Yuanziwen did not restrain herself at all and sent him a boldly harassing text message.
Japanese media exposed Yuanziwen’s chat history. It turns out that in his perception, the unspoken rules of actresses are his unique way of acting.
"The entertainment industry is like this, and it is impossible to make a name for yourself if you don't do it."
"Just sleep with me, you can get this role. Many actresses used to do this."
...
This is all the "Awakening the world and eternal" .
He unscrupulously regarded the actress with dreams as his tool for venting desires, because his position in the entertainment industry has many women who chose swallowed their anger .After the incident was exposed, Yuan Ziwen under heavy pressure just wrote a "repentance" of without sincerity, and then sued the magazine that exposed the truth of the incident to court.
In addition to having an impact on several of his works, Yuanziwen was not punished in any substantial sense.
If the status of a big director gives them the capital to do evil, the absurd practices of some young directors will obviously allow us to see the true face of the Japanese entertainment industry.
Chinese movie fans may not have heard of the name Suka Hero , but even such an unknown young director is also abusing his power to sexually assault the actress.
There are as many as 7 actresses who were assaulted by him, and 3 of them were assaulted during his marriage. Magically, Hero Suga's wife chose to forgive her husband's mistakes.
At the same time, the "sex scandal" also has the actor Kinish Fenghua . He is a senior Japanese actor and a golden supporting role.
He also frequently appeared on major Japanese variety shows.
This 58-year-old well-known actor was exposed to verbally insulting and harassing actresses repeatedly, deliberately hurting them, and then pretending to be a good person to take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and then sexually assaulting .
Some actresses have even been violated more than once.
In the Japanese entertainment industry, whether it is filming, variety show shooting or advertising shooting, Any actor and director , , , whether well-known or unknown, can harass and assault actresses and female artists in the name of "elders" and "work".
They neither care about the rights of artists nor respect the privacy boundaries between men and women.
This terrible culture in the Japanese entertainment industry continues to erode the living space of actresses. When they have the courage to come out to protect their rights, they are attacked as "rigging for popularity" and "scammers".
2. Is it only in Japan? Is there only the entertainment industry? The widow is also a victim. Korean female artists "sleep with her" the door. American gymnastics circle "sex scandal"
There is a view that The reason why Japanese actresses have a low status is not unrelated to Japanese culture.
Japan is a patriarchal society with obvious characteristics. There are many full-time housewives and women have low status. Such a social phenomenon is inevitably "contagious" the entertainment industry.
Looking around the world, you will find that no entertainment industry is clean about sex.
The most developed Hollywood history is accompanied by countless "sexual assault history".
In Hollywood, some unspoken rules are even public secrets.
and even some Hollywood producers and directors cast the standard: Choose whoever is more sexy. If you can't decide, choose what you want to sleep with.
Marilyn Monroe once wrote in his autobiography "My Story":
"You look at Hollywood with their eyes and see: overcrowded brothels and carousels. The Trojans have been replaced with beds."
Even in the 21st century, There are sexual harassment incidents in Hollywood almost every year .
The biggest scandal is the sexual assault incident of Hollywood tycoon Harvey Weinstein exposed in "New York Times ".
This old man who couldn't even straighten his waist during trial had sexually harassed more than 100 Hollywood actresses.
First-line movie stars including Angelina Julie, Gwyneth Patro, Leya Seidu , Rozanna Arket, etc., all accused Weinstein of harassment of them.
This is also the source of the feminist movement "#MeToo (me too)" that swept the world.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
In May 2021, the widow Scarlett Johnson directly confronted the Hollywood controller led by HFPA and sexually harassing her and other actresses.
The same tragedy not only happens in the United States.
In the Korean entertainment circle, the unspoken rule is not even the "unspoken" rule , but the explicit rule .
In 2005, Korean star Li Enzhu committed suicide. Many years later, media revealed that Li Enzhu has become a tool for socializing among the powerful since she entered the industry.
In Zhang Ziyan 's suicide note, people discovered that she did not die of depression, but of sexual abuse.
She was forced to drink and sleep with her. The number of people sleeping with her is as many as 31, and everyone is a top celebrity.
At most, you have to "serve" 45 people a day and suffer sexual assault from more than 10 people.
In order to make the big guys have fun, Zhang Ziyan was forced to undergo sterilization surgery.
Like Kiko Mizuhara, she was temporarily raped by the director when she was acting in a play. Not only did she appear in real life, but she also completed it under the eyes of dozens of people.
No one regards her as human being.
She mustered up the courage to report the case countless times, and in the end she either suffered secondary insults and injuries or left nothing. I recorded 13 testimony, but none of them could splash.
Finally, in despair, Zhang Ziyan chose to end her young life, and she was only 26 years old at that time.
In more than ten years, at least 30 artists in South Korea have committed suicide.
Choi Jinying , Han Caiwon, Choi Sulli , Goo Hara ...
Many Korean stars, like moths to the flames, use their lives to accuse the crimes of the upper class, but does the Korean performing arts culture become better because of their deaths?
This trend has even spread from the entertainment industry and entered other circles.
As long as it is "female that uses the body as the support of the work", it may be subject to some harassment and harm in the industry in the circle.
There is a documentary in the United States called "Whistleblower: Tracking of Sexual Assault Scandal of the US Gymnastics Team".
This documentary tells the story of the sexual scandal of American gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar sexually assaulting gymnastics team members.
A total of 156 victims came to court to accuse Larry of crimes, who was sentenced to 175 years in prison.
The prison life of the perpetrator cannot smooth out the mental trauma of girls. For some girls, it has become a nightmare that they cannot avoid in their entire lives.
Entertainment circle, model circle, and even sports circle... We found that no country is better than which country, and no circle is stronger than which circle.
3. Is exposure enough? Is “Metoo” enough? In the face of "sexual assault", women should do at least 2 things well.
Along with the invasion of Mizuhara Kiko, also has a harsh sound.
"Who told you to be so slutty and suffer for yourself."
"I deserve to post such a large-scale photo."
" If you exit, you will not be harmed. Why should you hug it tightly? "
Use Chinese sayings to summarize, it is still "Fly does not bite seamless eggs", "One hand cannot slap" set.
No matter which country or in which context, you can hear This explanation of women's victimization :
Too slutty, wear too little, have bad style, and have a messy life...
This kind of "Victim's Crime Theory" "slut attack" , we have heard countless times.
Pige does not deny that Kiko Mizuhara's social media does have some fashionable and sexy photos. She has had scandals with many celebrities before, and even ridiculed G-Dragon .
But the social media and private life belong to Kiko herself, and we have no right to interfere, which cannot be the reason and excuse for her being sexually harassed and assaulted.
With the turbulence of the "Metoo" movement, the situation of actresses in the entertainment industry is gradually improving, and the profession of "Intimate Coordinator" has emerged.
Hollywood, HBO and Netflix, as well as India, Australia, etc. have introduced this profession. They will provide some professional guidance, action design, to ensure the level of acceptance of actors, and the people present.
Kiko Mizuhara was filming "That Girl" also required the introduction of intimate coordinator , but was rejected by Meichuan.
to a certain extent, this prevents the actress from being "grabbing" during filming, but it is far from enough. After
After being infringed on, the path of protecting the rights of the actress is too difficult, the timeliness of the case is difficult to collect evidence, the rights of men are too high, and the dignity of women themselves...
Every layer is a barrier to their self-protection.
Faced with this problem, Brother Pi believes that at least two things need to be done.
First, he is the courage to speak out and with the help of public opinion, exposing the perpetrators under the mask of hypocrisy.
Just like Kiko Mizuhara, like Scarlett Johnson, like Ito Shioro, telling his experiences. Even if the perpetrators are not subject to substantial punishment in the end, they can make society recognize the faces of those dirty people and alert potential victims.
Second, it is to start equal education and sex education since childhood.
When facing women who may be violated, they often hear such advice: can advise you to wear more clothes, but cannot persuade criminals to be kind.
When, when there is no reason for such persuasion, When men truly regard women as equal independent individuals, respect them, treat them well, and see them under any circumstances, they can restrain their animality and maliciousness.
When, actors have the right to make choices before filming nude scenes. During the shooting, both the opponent actors and the crew can actively provide protection and respect.
Just like Tang Wei participated in "Lust and Caution", every time a passionate scene is filmed, only four people are allowed to be left on the scene, and everyone else is avoided.
When, when our relevant laws are no longer blank, education is no longer absent, and no longer distort sexual harassment and sexual assault into love.
This is the real progress of the whole society, and this is the embodiment of civilization. This kind of progress is difficult and the road is long.
But at least we can see the light because the change has begun.
