Chapter 21 sexual exploitation

If the movies about the plight of artists are arranged according to the degree of closeness to reality, they can be divided into "relatively naive", "closer to reality", and "closer to reality". The scenes that are usually seen can be listed in the "relatively naive" category: opera actors or singing girls who travel around to beg for a living, encounter bullies without accident, pick the weak woman's chin on the tip of the evil boy's fan, and laugh lewdly When he said "give me a laugh", a knight jumped out next to him, and the chastity of the weak woman was preserved at a very low cost.

Xie Jin's "Sisters on Stage" can be regarded as "relatively close to reality". The "Yangchun Stage" troupe in the movie performed in Shaoxing. Ni San, a nobleman, fell in love with Xing Yuehong, but was rejected, so he colluded with the police to frame them. Chunhua, in order to protect Yuehong, They were tied up at the bridgehead for public display, and their father, Master Xing, was beaten to death by the police.It is conceivable that whether it is the "Yangchun Stage" or Chunhua and Yuehong, they will never even think about showing up in Shaoxing. They have to disband the troupe and live in Shanghai. The cost of resistance is very expensive.

So miserable, why is it only "relatively close to reality"?Because, as long as the heroine is upright, she can keep her chastity.On the contrary, the Shaw Brothers movie "Spring Dream of the Old Capital" (adapted from Zhang Henshui's novel "Laughing Marriage") is closer to reality. Zhang Dashuai took a fancy to Shen Fengxian who sang Dagushu, so he kept her in Dashuai's mansion under the pretext of singing in the hall. Canary, even the chivalrous girl Xiuzhu who went to save her was crushed on the bed by Zhang Dashuai.Not only paid the cost of resistance, but also received more insults.It can be seen that the degree of reality of a movie about entertainers is ranked according to the degree of virginity of the heroine, because the real situation is that entertainers have to endure sexual exploitation in addition to being exploited by money. Or the luthier, every time he goes to a place, he has to lead the artist to visit the pier. While giving money and gifts, he also has to accompany him to drink and sleep in order to get a chance to perform safely.Therefore, in the social hierarchy, entertainers are always ranked at the bottom, because their profession is to be seen and become the object of desire. They may be able to escape one-time exploitation at one time and one place, but it is impossible for them to be seen at all Dodge all crushes in all places of time. Hidden behind "showing your face" is the fear and contempt for this kind of sexual exploitation.

What is the status of stars today?Naive people would think of them as "good girls and good boys", and what happened in Chongqing is obviously the most realistic: "Whenever there are female stars and singers who come to Chongqing to perform, as long as they can think of ways to deal with them, including buying them with money , using the privacy of actresses to intimidate them, etc., he will sleep with these stars." People talk about who she is and discuss who she is in obscene terms, and define the relationship between the female star and that person as "nurture", just to blur the color of sexual exploitation and gain a sense of security. In fact, our daughter was raped by him. I saw it, and I couldn't escape it.We actually live in a continuous time and space. We pretend to be modern people and seem to be cut off from the "ancient times", but we will inevitably collide with the "ancient times" after all.The sense of security of being confident and watching the fire from the other side is somewhat surprising.

But that's not all about China. David Lynch's film "Blue Velvet" is a modern American version of the entertainer's situation-the gangster kidnaps the husband of a homeless singer to obtain her sexual submission, which is similar to The Chongqing story is no different.It seems that the sexual exploitation of artists happens at all times and places, so I am always surprised to see parents take the initiative to send their children into the entertainment industry.
