Netflix 官宣:《纸牌屋》第六季的制作将启动,凯文•史派西彻底出局,“第一夫人”罗宾•怀特上位成为主演。


但是,全新一季具体的播出时间尚不清楚。

Production is resuming next year on the sixth and final season of "House of Cards."


Taping of the political drama was halted in October amid sexual misconduct allegations against star Kevin Spacey.


The eight-episode season will focus on co-star Robin Wright. No release date has been announced.

影帝凯文•史派西曾因出演《纸牌屋》而再攀事业高峰,但是如今他的日子却不好过。


带大家简要回顾最近发生了什么:

被同行指控性骚扰

Actor Anthony Rapp has alleged that Kevin Spacey made sexual advances on him decades ago. Rapp was 14 when he attended a party at Spacey's apartment in 1986. 

Spacey said on Twitter that he is "beyond horrified" and that he doesn't remember the encounter, but apologized for what he said would have been "inappropriate drunken behavior."


而这还仅仅只是一个开始,随后又有多人出面指控凯文·史派西……

被Netflix扫地出门

After Kevin Spacey was accused of sexual assault by Anthony Rapp who claims he was a minor at the time of the alleged incident, production on the sixth season of "House of Cards" has been halted.

"Netflix will not be involved with any further production of House of Cards that includes Kevin Spacey," said a rep for the network in a statement.


另据报道,Netflix也已放弃凯文·史派西主演的电影项目《戈尔》(Gore)。

新片被取消首映

Sony Pictures is pulling the film "All the Money in the World" from the AFI Fest following the sexual misconduct allegations made against co-star Kevin Spacey.

In a statement, Sony's TriStar Pictures said it was withdrawing the film because "it would be inappropriate to celebrate a gala at this difficult time." 


此后,消息传来,凯文·史派西在《金钱世界》中的戏份被全部删光,相关段落将全部重拍。

一系列性骚扰的指控不断浮出水面,被多家合作公司果断踢出局……


曾经风光无限的凯文·史派西,如今只能用“四面楚歌”来形容了。


马上进入今天的成语故事:


四  面  楚  歌

Songs from Chu on All four sides-
Find oneself completely besieged
 

After the downfall of the Qin Dynasty in 206 BC, Xiang Yu, the leader of an uprising force, proclaimed himself the Overlord of Western Chu and granted the title of Prince of Han to Liu Bang, the leader of another uprising force. But Liu Bang fought with Xiang Yu for five years to contend for the throne. Through years of rivalry, Liu Bang gained the upper hand militarily and received support from other dukes and princes. 


In 202 BC, Liu Bang, in cooperation with other forces, took advantage of Xiang Yu's march to Pengcheng which is today's Xuzhou in East China's Jiangsu Province, and launched fierce attacks on Xiang Yu. They surrounded Xiang Yu completely at Gaixia in what is today's Anhui province. Liu Bang had a powerful army with abundant supplies while Xiang Yu had much fewer soldiers and was running out of provisions. 


What's more, Liu Bang had his soldiers sing songs from Chu to shake the morale of Xiang Yu's troops. When the night fell, Xiang Yu was surprised to hear the enemy soldiers singing Chu Songs. Xiang Yu murmured to himself.


"Is it true that Liu Bang has occupied Chu territory already? Why are there so many Chu soldiers in his army?"


He rose from his bed and drank wine to distract himself. He sang together with his favorite concubine and bid farewell to her. 


That very night Xiang Yu broke through the enemy encirclement with eight hundred cavalrymen. Noticing this at daybreak, Liu Bang immediately sent troops in pursuit of them. Finally, Xiang Yu was cornered alone at Wujiang and committed suicide. 


From that story came the idiom Si Mian Chu Ge 四面楚歌 to describe a very difficult, dangerous or desperate situation. When someone is utterly isolated or is cornered, we can say he is in a situation of Si Mian Chu Ge四面楚歌. 四 means four, 面 means side, 楚 is the name of a region, 歌 means song. When you are surrounded by your enemies on four sides, it's like saying "you have the whole world against you."

其实,和凯文·史派西相比,现在更头疼的应该是《纸牌屋》的编剧吧。


没有了 President Underwood,这部热门剧集该如何合理完结?

而没有了“下木总统”的《纸牌屋》,你们还会追吗?
