Recently, after Jiang Yiyi Song Zuer was reported under her real name for suspected tax evasion, a suspected "celebrity tax compensation list" was exposed on the Internet.
And the netizen also posted a picture with the text: "11.7 billion, five years, it's time to come out and see the light." ”
The supplementary stars on the list are not only actors, directors and even singers, but also caused a "big shock" on the Internet as soon as the news came out.
As soon as this list was disclosed, it immediately spread on major social platforms. Countless excellent black materials in the entertainment industry are difficult to attract such a high click rate and forwarding volume.
The topic of "celebrity tax supplement blacklist" quickly appeared on Weibo's hot search, and also caused topics on Douyin and Kuaishou, and even suspected imitation of "tax supplement emoji" appeared in short videos, and the scene was very hot.
The contents of the list are even more jaw-dropping. When netizens saw Wu Jing, the "king of tax compensation" in the first place, with a tax supplement figure of up to 300 million yuan, they couldn't help but sigh that "it was really ugly."
It was followed by Deng Chao and Sun Li, and the figure of 250 million yuan also surprised netizens, calling out "how is the national husband and wife like this".
Some people looked for their idols on the list, and found that the minimum tax supplement for first-line superstars such as Zhao Liying, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi and other first-line superstars also reached 40 million yuan, and they couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that you have already made up taxes."
The list spread quickly on the Internet, and the public opinion scene boiled for a while. Countless netizens and fans have discussed on social media, and the voices are rising and falling, and your words and my words are making waves.
"Now the truth has come out, it turns out that so many first-line stars have paid taxes!" The tax payment door is about to shake off the new melon skin, and the content behind is estimated to be even more exciting!" The entire entertainment industry is going to be turned upside down!"
The blogger who exposed this matter also said meaningfully that "there are more big melons to be exposed later", which for a while made people speculate whether this "tax reimbursement gate" has more plots and details.
Netizens are speculating whether this wave of exposure storm will directly rewrite the pattern of the entertainment industry like the "anti-counterfeiting" action that year.
In this regard, industry insiders revealed that the superstars mentioned are likely to be the protagonists in the "tax replenishment frenzy" in 2017.
In that year, People's Daily disclosed that the self-inspection and declaration of taxes in the film and television industry was as high as 11.7 billion yuan.
At the same time, TVB also exposed a list of "interview" big names, among which Zhao Liying, Deng Chao, Wu Jing and many other first-line stars were on the list.
These two data match the names and amounts of people on the "blacklist" on the Internet, and it can be speculated that the protagonists of the so-called "tax replenishment frenzy" have revealed the tip of the iceberg.
In response, the State Administration of Taxation responded, saying that the names of the interviewed artists were simply fabricated, there was no so-called "interview", and the tax department only carried out normal tax law enforcement.
However, this also confirms from the side that there was indeed a large-scale tax supplement for artists in the entertainment industry in 2017. As for which superstars are involved, the tax department has not disclosed it for the sake of privacy and giving them the opportunity to make changes.
Therefore, although the "blacklist" of this online rumor has not been officially confirmed, it is not completely groundless. Industry insiders said that the tax department has indeed given the opportunity to rehabilitate, hoping that artists will take a warning and stop touching the legal red line.
But it is obvious that Jiang Yiyi, Song Zuer and others did not learn their lesson and still went their own way, which led to their current end.
Some comments pointed out that this fully exposed the expansion of some artists' desire for money and the lack of moral bottom line.
Take Wu Jing as an example, he successfully played a patriotic and enthusiastic special soldier with his wonderful acting skills in "Wolf Warrior 2". This domestic action film has achieved unprecedented market success, with a box office of 5.7 billion yuan, directly pushing Wu Jing to the throne of actor.
In this film, Wu Jing also served as a producer and star, and according to the salary share, he can get hundreds of millions of yuan. Coupled with the subsequent auction of a number of 100 million yuan advertising endorsements, Wu Jing became a regular on the major rich lists for a while, and his wealth and popularity exploded at the same time.
However, at this time, it was revealed that Wu Jing was suspected of evading taxes of 300 million yuan in the huge income of "Wolf Warrior 2". An accountant revealed that the producer underreported personal taxes by modifying the tax filing method of remuneration contracts. This caused an uproar at the time, and many people in the industry said that "big rewards must be taxed", and Wu Jing's approach was to blame.
Later, the tax department conducted an investigation. Although the specific details have not been made public, it is widely believed that Wu Jing made up taxes and dealt with them. This also confirmed that he did have a tax evasion problem in personal taxation, which eventually led to the exposure of today's "tax reimbursement gate".
In 2018, Fan Bingbing was exposed to film and television works such as "The Ferryman" and "Jinling Thirteen" to evade 884 million yuan in taxes through fake contracts. This was a sensation at the time and seriously tarnished her always positive image.
He was followed by Deng Lun's tax evasion, who was suspected of falsifying his personal studio accounts and evading personal income tax of 104 million yuan. Both are popular stars, and their behavior has aroused strong indignation among the masses.
After investigation by the tax department, the tax evasion of the two was confirmed to be true. Fan Bingbing paid all the taxes evaded and was fined 397 million yuan; Deng Lun also paid back the taxes owed and was given an administrative warning.
This incident directly caused the image of the two to fall to the bottom, and the artistic career came to a standstill. Multiple brands stopped working with them, and both of them were seriously affected in the film and television industry. This fully shows that tax evasion will pay a terrible price, and there will never be a good result.
It has to be said that tax evasion will seriously affect the social image of celebrities. Fans also said, "Idols should set a good example for us, if we embark on the road of no return for illegal crimes in order to covet temporary profits, we will be deeply disappointed." ”
Of course, tax issues are also relevant to the legal awareness of every citizen. We should not overly "fall into the well", but give celebrities the opportunity to rehabilitate.
At the same time, we must also urge them to face up to their social responsibilities, abide by national laws, and return the support and love of fans with practical actions. Only in this way can the spiritual bond between idols and fans be stronger, and the positive energy transmitted will be stronger.
The continuous fermentation of tax evasion in the entertainment industry indicates that the tax problem of artists may usher in a comprehensive purge. Fans are also looking forward to this event as an opportunity for celebrities to learn lessons and re-examine their lives.
Let's wait and see, and believe that the precious spiritual bond between idols and fans will eventually guide them to find the path to the light.
