Following the public debt collection from the artist Tong Zhuo on April 7, Guo Han, the operator of Tong Zhuo's workers, continued to collect debts publicly on April 10, saying that in 2018, a super first-line artist and team went to Los Angeles to shoot the cover of Hong Kong TC magazine, and personally paid nearly 500,000 yuan for the artist's and team's air tickets, hotels, airbnb, catering, photographers and assistant labor expenses, Guo Han said that he was the intermediary between the artist and the Hong Kong magazine, and the expenses were paid in advance, and he would be reimbursed after the magazine was released. However, after the artist team returned to China, they have been dragging their feet for various reasons and not confirming the use of photos to publish and distribute magazines, and the magazine has not reimbursed the expenses, and now more than 5 years have passed, and the money is still not settled. Guo Han accused "99.9% of active artists have been praised for too long and have forgotten what their surnames are." I look down on the workers and the fans in my heart. I know too well. For partners and fans, it can scratch a little is a little. ”
According to the relevant itinerary information revealed by Guo Han, netizens speculated that the artist may be the well-known actor Wang Kai. On the evening of April 10th, Wang Kai's studio responded to the "debt collection" incident, the studio said that in August 2018, the studio received an invitation to shoot the new magazine, and the artist completed the shooting according to the needs of the magazine. Because the magazine failed to launch as promised, and later communicated with the studio to change the photos for commercial use for printing and sale, the studio believed that the shooting was limited to the magazine cover cooperation and could not meet the other party's needs, so it refused. Wang Kai's studio said that the expenses borne by the magazine were all expenses incurred for the shooting of the magazine. In addition, neither the artist nor the studio received any form of remuneration, the artist did not have any breach of contract, and the expenses incurred in the shooting should be borne by the magazine according to the agreement, and had nothing to do with the artist, and the studio would not make any response to this matter.
On the evening of April 10, Guo Han refuted Wang Kai's studio's statement, saying, "A round trip is more than 100,000, and then I can't find fault with the magazine, I really know how to pick wool." The magazine has such a big problem, how can the agent censor it? If you don't review it, you will come out and shoot it?" At the same time, Guo Han reported to the Beijing tax department that Gao Yuan, the photographer of the magazine, was suspected of tax evasion, but Gao Yuan did not respond. On the morning of April 11, Guo Han responded through a live broadcast to the question of whether it was Wang Kaifang's reason why the magazine could not be released, Wang Kai's team was still singing and drinking and chatting in the courtyard at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night to disturb the people's public morality, Wang Kai's team and photographers bypassed the publisher and distributor, and the investor privately traded copyright photos.
Previously, Guo Han's public debt collection from Tong Zhuo attracted the attention of netizens, and Tong Zhuo subsequently entrusted a lawyer to resolve the contract dispute between the two parties, and on April 10, another netizen who claimed to be Tong Zhuo's partner also posted a debt collection from Tong Zhuo. However, for this series of debt collection turmoil, some netizens said that "Weibo Shengtang" is not a way to solve the problem, and the contract dispute is still left to the law to solve.
