Text/Depth Gossip
The movies created by Xu Zheng always love to talk about the midlife crisis after a man is 40 years old. In fact, he can tell the mid-life crisis of actresses, such as the story of his wife Tao Hong and girlfriend Zhang Ting, which is worth telling. Unfortunately, he was too shrewd to speak.
The founding of TST
In 2013, Zhang Ting, 43, and Xiao Taohong, 41, co-founded a company, Shanghai Dalvet. You may not have heard of this company, but you may have heard of one of its brands called TST Court Secrets.
The background of the establishment of the company is that they are no longer popular in the group of actors, and the number of films they receive every year has dropped sharply.
Zhang Ting and Xiao Tao Hong met and intersected because of her husband Xu Zheng. As early as 20 years ago, in 2002, Xu Zheng and Zhang Ting co-starred in the first cross-genre TV series in the mainland, "Love Through Time and Space". Subsequently, he co-starred in "Full House of Man Han".
Xu Zheng, a Shanghainese whose ancestors have made little achievements in business, likes to think about how to make money, and has speculated in stocks and played futures and made forestry and real estate investments. As early as around 2005, he cooperated with Zhang Ting's company to invest in real estate business.
Zhang Ting's company was headed by her then-boyfriend and later husband, Lin Ruiyang.
Lin Ruiyang is 10 years older than Zhang Ting and was previously a star in Taiwan Province. At that time, on the small island, Lin Ruiyang was much more popular than Zhang Ting, he was the royal male protagonist of Qiong Yao's grandmother's heyday, and was once known as the first child of Baodao Island, with representative works such as "A Curtain of Dreams", "The End of the World", "Dumb Wife" and so on.
However, their reputation in Taiwan Province has long stinked, because of the derailment storm, Lin Ruiyang is suspected of cheating on Zhang Ting in marriage. At that time, Lin's original actor Zeng Zhezhen was the heroine of Qiong Yao's drama "Wan Jun". A few years ago, Zeng Zhezhen also debunked Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting's defenses on Weibo. This paragraph is kind of old gossip.
Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting, the living space on the island became smaller, and they came to the inland to work hard. People's fate is sometimes very absurd, they are like many post-6070s Male and Female Artists of the same age in Taiwan Province, the island is full of negativity, and as a result, they come to the mainland to catch up with the decades of vigorous outbreak of internal entertainment and the mainland market economy, but they have achieved them.
Zhang Ting caught up with the era of major film and television drama companies and studios on the eve of the rise of internal entertainment, looking for Hong Kong and Taiwan teams to co-produce film and television dramas. The spread of cross-strait gossip is not as rapid as it is today, Zhang Ting's personality in the mainland has become an innocent goddess, and many explosive dramas have been filmed in succession, such as "Love Through Time and Space", "Absolutely Beautiful Double Jiao", "Full Of Han", "Iron Tooth copper tooth Ji Xiaolan", "Flower Girl", etc. Fan Bingbing and Li Xiaolu, who are more than 20 years old, have also played supporting roles for her.
After Lin Ruiyang came to the mainland, he took the merchant route. Before, we wrote in the stories of Big S, Zhang Ziyi and others that the early entertainment stars could not make any big money at all, and many female artists were busy marrying richmen. In recent years, entertainment has gone crazy with the help of capital, and the stars of internal entertainment have all transformed into capital.
This is also why Lin Ruiyang did not come to the mainland as an artist, but turned around and went to the wave of business. Lin Ruiyang began to do various businesses early on, including cosmetics and real estate. Among them, the real estate business has both real estate development and second-hand housing sales, which is also an opportunity for Xu Zheng Tao Hongjia and Lin Ruiyang Zhang Tingjia to establish cooperation. Around 2005, Xu Zheng initially cooperated with Zhang Tingjia to do real estate direction. According to the perspective of ordinary people, Lin Ruiyang can be said to be a profiteer. He started a company called Shangyang Real Estate Company in the mainland, which has a new housing business and second-hand housing sales. Even in the heyday of the property market, the company's network is full of negative news about rights protection, what delays in delivery, supporting facilities are not in place, and so on. As long as they can make money, they dare to do anything and look forward, he and Zhang Ting did illegal business in order to make a lot of money during their time in Taiwan Province.
A pair of lovers who have been discredited in the controversy of Taiwan Province have become a perfect match for talented women, domineering presidents and beautiful female stars in the mainland market. They also constantly participate in various programs to instill their kindness to the public.
In 2006, the two married, and in 2009, the 39-year-old Zhang Ting gave birth to a daughter at the age of 42, and then gave birth to a son at the age of 42 in 2012.
In 2012 and 2013, the rapid development of the mobile Internet, the sudden rise of WeChat, and the tide of micro-business began to rise. In mid-2013, they turned around and became a micro-businessman, and established the Shanghai Darway mentioned at the beginning of the article.
2013 is also a crucial year for Xu Zheng, he pried away Wang Baoqiang, directed the "囧 series" "Tai 囧", played the second part of "People in 囧途", exploded in the mainland film market, and finally got 1.267 billion at the box office.
Although the relevant stakeholders of "People on the Road" sued Xu Zheng in court, they only received 5 million yuan in compensation in the end. Since then, Xu Zheng has completely eaten the IP of the "囧 series", successfully transformed, and promoted to a top male star, a big-name director, and a big winner of film and television capital, and his life is a smooth road.
The business plan of Zhang Tinglin and his wife relies heavily on the exposure effect of celebrities. In the early days of real estate development and building sales, he invited star artists to participate, including Zhang Ting's platform and various stars from Taiwan Province.
Zhang Tinglian gave birth to a second child, the exposure was sharply reduced, and when they began to do business such as Dalway and TST, they pulled the Xu Zheng Tao Hong family, who had old acquaintances and cooperated with each other, and had just stood in the position of the big director.
Yesterday, Lin Ruiyang Zhangting's company Darwei was investigated and punished for suspected pyramid schemes, and as soon as the news came out, the hot comments on Weibo were saying that Tao Hong ran really fast. It is said that the company they founded together last year, Shanghai Tao Buting Culture, made industrial and commercial changes in November this year, and Tao Hong personally withdrew from the shareholder status.
In fact, Tao Hong only made a partial change in equity, and did not withdraw at all, and the Most Taoran Company in Beijing, which she wholly controlled, is still a shareholder. Besides, the case has been disclosed now, it has been investigated for many months, and it is too late to withdraw the shares now.
Beijing Taoran Company, which is 100% owned by Tao Hong, is still the fifth largest shareholder of Dalway, holding nearly 5% of the shares, while Tao Hong personally holds nearly 2% of Dalwei's shares, holding nearly 7% of the shares in the two.
Together, Dalway's top three shareholders hold nearly 80 percent of the shares, controlled by two Hong Kong companies and a British Virgin Islands, which does not rule out the possibility of Tao Hong and his wife's shareholding.
Therefore, last year, Zhang Ting marketing and Tao Hong's girlfriend love said that in Shanghai, it was 1.7 billion yuan to buy a building, and one of the floors was given to Tao Hong as an office building, which is no exaggeration. If the building was purchased in the name of Dalway Company, it would be okay to give a 7% shareholder a floor.
Tao Hong and Lin Ruiyang Zhang Ting are deeply bound, only her name of Beijing is the most TaoRan, invested in 4 companies, holding 10%, 7.7%, 6.5%, 4.7% of the shares, these four companies are all Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting's company.
The deep binding of interests is also the fundamental reason why Tao Hong and Xu Zheng have always worked hard to stand for Zhang Tinglin Ruiyang and his wife in the past 8 years.
"Little Joy" and other dramas are popular, and Tao Hong has also received a lot of praise. In recent years, some fans have continuously left messages on Social Platforms such as Tao Hong's Weibo, advising her xu Zheng to quickly cut with Zhang Tinglin Ruiyang and his wife, not knowing whether it is really stupid or fake stupid.
Tao Hong has always appeared as the founder and shareholder of "TST Court Secret", and agents at all levels also like to call her second boss.
TST's star platform
Previously, when actresses such as Liu Tao and Zhang Xinyu promoted the mask, Aite's were also Zhang Ting and Tao Hong.
Over the years, the TST Court has been secretly engaged in various big activities, and Tao Hong has always been there. Around 2017, Zhang Ting and Lin Ruiyang also made a red wine, wanting to copy the successful model of "TST Court Secret", the name of the red wine is called "Zheng Jiu", and Xu Zheng do deep binding.
TST also sponsored "Extreme Challenge", and during the release of Xu Zheng's "Hong Kong 囧" in 2015, they also launched a "囧膜" to vigorously promote it, and even Zhao Wei held the mask and took a promotional picture. The business of Lin Ruiyang and Zhang Ting has been controversial, but from a business point of view, it is very profitable, even more profitable than Xu Zheng's film. In 2018 alone, for example, they received the highest tax award in Qingpu District, Shanghai, paying 1.26 billion yuan in taxes.
At present, Luzhou Laojiao, which has a market value of more than 350 billion yuan, only paid 1.6 billion yuan in taxes in 2019, and Sany Heavy Industry, which has a market value of nearly 200 billion yuan, paid 1.4 billion yuan in taxes in 2019.
This is also the reason why the TST court's secret agents at all levels shouted out the slogan of listing many years ago, saying that they wanted to land on the Hong Kong stock market, and the market value shouted out more than 200 billion to 300 billion.
Of course, their companies are very different from listed companies, because they are unlikely to be listed, cannot withstand investigation, cannot see the light, and will die when they see the light. In 2019, they were going to engage in capital operations in A-shares, and they were killed by an inquiry letter from the CSRC.
They also have no really valuable goods, the packaging is tall, the cost is only a few dollars, can be sold for hundreds of dollars, and each layer has a huge profit. The most profitable of this product is always only the top-level designer, and the way to make money is to attract agents at all levels to hoard goods by weaving the dream of sudden wealth, while strictly suppressing agents to dump at low prices, so that they either smash their hands or develop the downline.
Zhang Ting Lin Ruiyang and other people are slightly more advanced, Zhang Ting and Tao Hong are successful women in their careers, they appear as the front desk boss and spokesperson of the "TST Court Secret", they are crowned with the name of the leader of getting rich, and the slogans shouted out are that everyone should be independent women, career women, and have the courage to develop their own careers.
There is also a star effect, there is a large group of successful Zhao Wei, Fan Bingbing, Liu Tao, Li Xiaolu, Lin Chiling and other female stars for them to stand on the platform to promote or endorse, so they cut a large number of female victims of leeks, each time the agents at all levels attending the event are mainly bao moms and some young and middle-aged women. In recent years, they have transformed into vibrato with goods, and there are also male stars who have begun to join the camp, such as Wang Dongcheng, Ming Dao and others.
TST court secret doubts have always been, but the noise is not big, are some gossip numbers in writing, mostly indulged in the details of the dog blood story, what Lin Ruiyang wears women's clothes, and female agents hook up shoulder to shoulder, Zhang Ting sold miserably, and then persuade Tao Hong not to sell masks, etc., their things have not been able to make a circle of entertainment gossip, these completely can not touch the core problems.
At the same time, no entertainment self-media can face off against a capital interest group with millions of agents at all levels, billion-level tax payments, tens of billions of revenues, and hundreds of billions of value. The slightest touch of something dangerous to them will be forcibly deleted and deleted by all kinds, and the real negative news will not spread at all.
After Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, disclosed that Zhang Tinglin and his wife were suspected of pyramid schemes, the People's Daily gave the comment that the tumor of online pyramid schemes was removed. This wave, Zhang Ting and his wife are estimated to be completely cold.
It depends on how many artists they can involve in this wave, after all, when promoting TST, many artists rush to the front line. In addition to Zhang Tinglin Ruiyang and his wife, whether the artists who have publicized for them on their platform should not refund the advertising fees, whether they should bear the corresponding responsibilities, and Tao Hong, who holds shares on behalf of the couple and is deeply bound, is not involved in the case, the case is not deep, whether to pursue responsibility, whether to touch the punishment, this legal melon, it is estimated that it will not end in the short term.
This legal melon is estimated to be much larger than everyone thinks, and it is also much more serious than Via's tax evasion and tax evasion of 1.341 billion yuan. Wei Ya was not sentenced, Zhang Tinglin Ruiyang and others may go in, and the amount involved may be much larger.
The last big MLM storm was the Quanjian Group at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019.
The following year, at the beginning of 2020, the court pronounced a verdict on the grounds that "the crime of organizing and leading pyramid schemes has constituted the crime of organizing and leading pyramid schemes, and the circumstances are serious", of which Shu Yuhui was sentenced to nine years in prison and fined 50 million yuan, and the other 11 defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three to six years and fined; the illegal gains were recovered and handed over to the state treasury.
The results of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Ting and others, let us wait and see.
