At noon on December 20, 2021, Wang Lihong apologized to his ex-wife Li Lianglei and announced his temporary withdrawal from acting work. This means that the divorce storm of Wang Lihong and Li Lianglei has come to an end.
At that time, everyone thought that this was the last melon in the entertainment industry this year.
But what everyone did not expect was that at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a news made everyone feel uneasy for a long time.
At that time, the Hangzhou Municipal Taxation Department reported the handling of the tax evasion case of "live broadcast sister" Wei Ya. After investigation, between 2019 and 2020, Via evaded taxes by concealing personal income by 643 million yuan, and other underpaid taxes by 0.6 billion yuan.
According to relevant laws and regulations, Wei Ya was chased for taxes, late fees and fines, totaling 1.341 billion yuan.
1.341 billion, a frightening figure that shocked everyone. Some netizens said that the last time they saw such a figure was the census. Some netizens said that the whole family started from the monkey, and it took 90,000 years to make so much money. Some netizens even said that after watching Wei Ya's news, they felt that Wang Lihong and Li Lianglei's melons were tasteless, after all, Wei Ya could evade so many taxes in a year, but Wang Lihong and Li Lianglei were torn so ugly for "a mere" one or two hundred million.
Of course, Via also paid a terrible price for her illegal behavior, she changed from an inspirational person to a negative character, and the entire network account was blocked.
For Wei Ya's tax evasion behavior, the People's Daily commented: Wei Ya's tax evasion punishment is a wake-up call, no matter how famous and popular, once the tax evasion is difficult to escape sanctions. As the head anchor, it is even more important to take the lead in abiding by the law. To enjoy the institutional dividends brought by the new business format, it is necessary to show the rule of law literacy that matches it. Only by consciously paying taxes according to law can the traffic realization within the rule of law track be meaningful, and only in the new formats of standardized development can there be a future.
Via succeeded in killing herself and ended up in disgrace.
Now, with Via being punished, thousands of network anchors have taken the initiative to check and pay taxes.
In addition, 8 well-known people have also been influenced by Via.
01. Dong Haifeng
Dong Haifeng and Wei Ya are bound together, they are one glory and one loss.
In 2003, Dong Haifeng and Wei Ya met, and the two of them fell in love.
For Wei Ya and Dong Haifeng together, Wei Ya's parents are very opposed, they feel that Dong Hai Feng is very much like a little, or a dancer, they feel that he is unreliable.
However, Wei Ya ignored her parents' objections and firmly wanted to be with Dong Haifeng.
At that time, they had no money, rented a board room on the outskirts of Beijing, and shared the bathroom and kitchen with others.
To make a living, they opened a small 6-square-meter shop opposite the Beijing Zoo Clothing Wholesale Market.
Slowly, their lives improved, and Dong Haifeng also got the approval of Wei Ya's parents.
Just after having a little money, because of a dream of stardom, Via broke into the entertainment industry, and Dong Haifeng became her agent.
However, it is not easy to develop in the entertainment industry, and Via's acting career has not progressed, and eventually the two returned to the clothing industry and continued to open a store.
Because of the proper management, they opened a number of women's clothing stores, they have a solid family foundation, so they entered the palace of marriage in 2011.
A year after marriage, Wei Ya and Dong Haifeng transformed into an online store and closed an offline store.
Although in the early days of opening the online store, they suffered serious losses, but after careful exploration and hard work, the sales performance of the Weiya online store was enviable.
Wei Ya and Dong Haifeng did not stop there, and in 2016 they entered the field of live streaming.
This entry pushed Wei Ya and Dong Haifeng to the peak of their careers, Wei Ya became a "live broadcast sister", Dong Haifeng became the head of the humble culture of the company behind them, huge fame and fortune came to them, and they made a lot of money.
On October 27, 2021, Dong Haifeng and Wei Ya ranked 302nd in the Hurun Rich List with a net worth of 22 billion.
However, while gaining huge wealth, they did not keep the bottom line, and how high they climbed, how painful it hurt to fall.
With Wei Ya discredited for tax evasion, as a member of the husband and wife community, Dong Haifeng must be involved.
Faced with such a situation, Dong Haifeng did a thing to protect his wife. A few hours after Wei Ya's accident, Dong Haifeng issued an apology letter, saying that he was very guilty and tried to buckle the pot on himself, but the clear-eyed people understood that Dong Haifeng was doing his best to protect Wei Ya's personal IP and business value.
However, his efforts were useless. Needless to say, this incident became a turning point in his and Via's lives.
02. Qi Wei
Qi Wei debuted in 2006 with the talent show "My Type I Show", and then became a well-known female artist for starring in TV series such as "Beauty Plan" and "Xia Family Three Thousand Gold".
As a well-known actress, Qi Wei and Wei Ya are involved in the relationship because she has also entered the field of live streaming and goods, and has also become a signed star anchor of Wei Ya's company.
As a star anchor with goods, Qi Wei mainly carries beauty and personal toiletries, and since she opened the live broadcast with goods, she has broadcast 27 times, with sales of 4.66 million and a transaction amount of up to 550 million.
And because the commission of the general Internet celebrity with beauty products is between 10% and 20%, according to this situation, it can be known that Qi Wei has made a lot of money.
Now, with Wei Ya's accident, Qi Wei, who has earned money, has also been pushed into the fire pit.
On December 21, a user named "Whiplash" broke the news that Qi Wei was pursued and fined 12 million yuan for tax evasion. Soon, the news of the "whiplash" was reported by some financial media, and Qi Wei was sent to the hot search.
Faced with such a situation, Qi Wei reacted quickly, refuting the rumor that the news was false, and has entrusted the law firm to investigate the responsibility of relevant people through legal means.
At this point, Qi Wei got rid of the storm and maintained her reputation.
03. Li Jiaqi
Before Wei Ya's accident, in the live broadcast with goods industry, Li Jiaqi and Wei Ya were "one king and one queen".
When Wei Ya had an accident, Li Jiaqi was directly sent to the hot search.
Some netizens said that Wei Ya had an accident, and Li Jiaqi was trembling.
Some netizens also said that they hoped that Li Jiaqi would stick to the bottom line and not overturn the car.
What is particularly exaggerated is that some people broke the news that Li Jiaqi's tax of 1.7 billion yuan escaped the disaster.
For a time, there were various voices about Li Jiaqi, so in an interview with the media on the afternoon of December 20, Li Jiaqi responded, saying: "We operate honestly, we live broadcast our duties, and everything in the company is operating normally." ”
He also debunked rumors that the 1.7 billion yuan tax reimbursement on the Internet was a rumor, and hoped that everyone would not believe it.
When Li Jiaqi responded, the fans were relieved. But they still left a message in the relevant news comment area: "Brother, don't do anything illegal, please!" "There is an accident next door to Via, you must be well, you must not evade taxes and evade taxes!"
I hope that Li Jiaqi, the bearer of the live broadcast with the goods industry, can do a good role model and not disappoint fans and netizens.
04. Lin Yilun, Li Jing, Lin Dan, Shu Chang, Haiqing

Some of them have already made a lot of money through live streaming and tasted the sweetness.
Now with the accident of Via, they have also attracted the attention of netizens.
But for them, now they need to consider whether to continue to cooperate with Via. If they get rid of Via, can their live streaming business do better?
epilogue:
Via's accident is completely self-inflicted and does not deserve sympathy.
Some people are involved with her, some are communities of interests, and some are industry cattle people with a status comparable to her.
In the face of the surging public opinion caused by Wei Ya's accident, they are inevitably discussed, and some people's interests are already doomed.
However, as a bystander, the author still hopes that they will abide by discipline and the law and carry forward positive energy. I hope they understand that in the face of traffic, the law will not discount; in front of the law, traffic cannot be indulged.
The legal red line cannot be touched!
