According to public information, Zheng Shuang holds 68% and 20% of the shares of the two companies respectively, and the other shareholder of Shanghai Whale Valley Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. is Zheng Shuang's ex-husband Zhang Heng.
Soon, the topic of Zheng Shuang's equity being frozen again rushed to Weibo. From time to time, some netizens ridiculed: "Although Zheng Shuang has completely cooled, the legend of Zheng Shuang is still circulating on the rivers and lakes."
01, Zheng Shuang, something happened again
According to the judgment of the Shanghai Songjiang District People's Court, the freezing period will be from January 16, 2024 to January 15, 2027, a total of three years.
The topic of Zheng Shuang's equity being frozen quickly rushed to the hot search on Weibo, and some netizens commented on it, Zheng Shuang is on the hot search again, why is it still hot?

In fact, this frozen equity is just one of the events that Zheng Shuang has re-ignited heated discussions. At the end of last year, Zheng Shuang was also forced to pay 90.5 million.
At the beginning of December last year, Zheng Shuang added a new piece of information on the person subject to execution, with an execution target of 90.5 million yuan, mainly involving Haining Dongkai Star Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd. and its contract dispute case.
The origin of the case was that in early 2016, the company signed a planning service contract with Zheng Shuang as Party A, and Party A needed to pay the latter a total of 30.5 million yuan in installments.
At the same time, the company also invited Zheng Shuang to participate in the filming of related TV series as the female number one, but the embarrassing thing is that before the filming of the TV series was completed, Zheng Shuang had already been banned by the whole network, and the TV series could not meet the audience as scheduled.
For this reason, Haining Dongkai Star Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd. sued Zheng Shuang in court for compensation, and finally Zheng Shuang was sentenced to return 30.5 million yuan in service fees, and at the same time compensate 60 million yuan, with a total of 90.5 million yuan to be implemented.

Up to now, Zheng Shuang has a total of 10 companies associated with him, of which 5 have been cancelled, and most of the shares of the 5 companies that are still in existence have also been frozen.
From the once popular Hua Dan, to the later turmoil such as surrogacy abandonment, tax evasion and capital abandonment, Zheng Shuang has become a bad artist in the mouth of netizens, which can only be said to be self-inflicted.
02, the daily salary is 2.08 million, shocking the whole network
Presumably most people still remember Zheng Shuang's sky-high salary. Although Zheng Shuang was banned by the whole network for reasons including surrogacy and tax evasion, the most widely circulated is "Yishuang = 2.08 million".
As a well-known actress in the mainland, Zheng Shuang's road to popularity originated from the youth idol drama "Let's Watch Meteor Shower" starring in 2009. With the popularity of the series, Zheng Shuang's popularity is getting higher and higher.
At this point, Zheng Shuang, who understands traffic and is good at hype, has begun to frequently appear in TV series and record major variety shows, and a series of words and deeds have made him a frequent visitor to hot searches.
Unexpectedly, he was originally in the entertainment industry, but he buried his future with his own hands because of various operations such as surrogacy and yin and yang contracts.
At the beginning of 2021, due to the breakdown of the relationship with her ex-husband Zhang Heng during the surrogate mother's pregnancy, Zheng Shuang actually made the decision to abandon the adoption, and even treated the life of the newborn baby as an ordinary commodity in his speech.
Perhaps because the conflict with her ex-husband Zhang Heng became more and more intense, three months after the surrogacy turmoil, Zhang Heng began to take the initiative to stand up and hammer Zheng Shuang.
On April 26, 2021, Zhang Heng broke the news on Weibo and directly exposed Zheng Shuang's sky-high salary and yin-yang contract. According to the revelations at the time, Zheng Shuang's salary for filming the TV series A Chinese Ghost Story was negotiated by Zhang Heng, as high as 160 million. According to the calculation of 77 days in the crew, the daily salary reached 2.08 million yuan.

After the news was exposed, netizens couldn't sit still. Some people have commented, "Even if you earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, if you want to earn 160 million, you need to start working from the Tang Dynasty to the present", "How long can ordinary people make a cool income" and so on...
Not only that, but the high-priced salary of 160 million was split into a "yin and yang contract" of 48 million and 112 million. The former was controlled below the red line of 50 million yuan required by the State Administration of Taxation, and the latter was transferred to the company in the name of Zheng Shuang's mother, Liu Yan.
Under the operation of his mother, Zheng Shuang also used various means to avoid taxes.
Finally, in August 2021, the tax bureau notified Zheng Shuang that he had failed to declare his personal income of 191 million yuan in accordance with the law from 2019 to 2020, evaded taxes of 45.2696 million yuan, and underpaid taxes of 26.5207 million yuan, and made a penalty decision to recover taxes, impose late fees and impose fines totaling 299 million yuan on Zheng Shuang.
03, why do Zheng Shuang keep teaching and not change?
In fact, among the many celebrities, Zheng Shuang, who evaded taxes, is just one of them.
As early as 2002, Liu Xiaoqing, known as the "national heroine", became a sensation because of tax evasion. According to the investigation of the local tax bureau, Liu Xiaoqing evaded more than 14 million yuan in taxes, plus more than 5 million late fees, and Liu Xiaoqing himself was detained in the detention center for more than a year.
Fan Bingbing, who was once beautiful, was also banned after being exposed for tax evasion, and the final fines were recovered totaling nearly 900 million yuan.

In addition, celebrities such as Song Zuer and Jiang Yiyi have also overturned due to tax evasion.
Objectively speaking, the income of celebrities is already unattainable compared to ordinary workers, so why do they take risks to evade taxes?
The core reason is obviously their own dissatisfaction. After all, if the normal procedure is followed, the remuneration obtained by the artist for starring in a TV series is usually paid by the film company to the artist management company first, and the latter will pay various taxes and then divide the accounts according to the prior contract, and finally the artist will pay personal income tax.
Because of this, artists who are not satisfied will find ways to avoid taxes by all means. Including in many tax evasion cases, the proportion of celebrity personal studios is also quite high.
Data shows that since 2012, the number of celebrities setting up their own studios has increased significantly, and in 2016, more than 350 new studios were added. According to the individual income tax law, this method applies a floating tax rate between 5% and 35%, which is compared with the 25% tax rate for general enterprises.
At the same time, some industry insiders said that the personal studio is quite convenient in terms of capital turnover, and some celebrities also take a fancy to this.
In response to the old saying, "Where there is profit, there is risk".
I hope that Zheng Shuang can take this as a warning in the future, after all, as a public figure with a certain degree of influence, even if you can't be high-spirited, please abide by the law!
