Chapter 142: The Chinese Entertainment Industry in Trouble
Today’s top trending search—#杨妍税务灭税#.

And it’s not “suspected” at all, he was directly named and reported by the Blue V account.

In other words, it has been confirmed.

The content of the official announcement left everyone stunned.

According to the investigation of the tax system, since Yang Yan set up her own studio, the total amount of income she concealed and evaded taxes exceeded 600 million!

Six hundred million!

For more than 90% of netizens, this number is simply enough to destroy their worldview!

Everyone works hard from nine to five every day and only earns a few thousand yuan a month. A monthly salary of over ten thousand is already relatively good, and even then you still have to pay taxes honestly.

Yang Yan has only been in the industry for a few years, but her underreported income alone is already over 600 million?!

Is being a celebrity really that profitable?

But you have already earned so much, why are you still evading taxes?
Are you still human?!

All of a sudden, the whole Internet went wild.

"Fuck it, can it be any more outrageous?!"

"Six hundred million! I almost thought I was seeing things!"

"I have to pay taxes every month when I make 6,000 yuan, but she wants to evade taxes when she makes so much?"

"I told you there was something wrong with this woman, but you didn't believe me!"

"No wonder he's been so quiet lately, it turns out he's been scared into shrinking into a shell!"

"I was wondering where she got so much money to buy trending searches and do marketing. It turns out that she saved it from tax evasion?"

"Oh, I bought her album to show my support, what a loser!"

"Where are Yang Yan's servants? They were very active some time ago. Why don't they come out and jump around again?"

"Ah, from this point of view, Xu Lingyue is still reliable. Although the quality of the album has collapsed, at least he is still a law-abiding citizen."

"That's not necessarily true. In the entertainment industry, everyone is a good person before they start investigating. But once they start investigating... hehe."

"Yes, Yang Yan also supported Siyuan Village at that time. I didn't expect that she would be such a person..."

Even Zhou Hao's mother, Li Guiqin, joined the ranks of those complaining.

"What did I say then? Appearance is determined by the heart. This girl doesn't look like a good person!"

Zhou Hao chuckled and just focused on eating.

"Six hundred million, how much money is that?" Li Guiqin looked incredulous. "No wonder everyone wants to be a star. The speed of making money is faster than robbing a bank."

Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she looked at her son fiercely and said, "Don't learn bad things. No matter how much money you make, you must pay the tax you should pay, or your father and I will be the first to not forgive you!"

"Am I that kind of person?" Zhou Hao rolled his eyes.

"Who is born a bad person? Everyone becomes bad step by step. Isn't it said that the entertainment industry is a big melting pot?" Li Guiqin frowned and said, "Anyway, you know what's going on. Just don't do anything illegal or criminal."

"Okay, I got it." Zhou Hao nodded in agreement without saying anything more.

There are some things Li Guiqin doesn't understand and I can't explain them to her in detail. The entertainment industry is too complicated. Sometimes tax evasion is not because the stars want to save that little bit of money. In many cases, it's because they "want to pay but can't."

Because a lot of their income comes from gray channels, those "grand blockbusters" that easily make hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, those "theater blockbusters" that use empty theaters and midnight ghosts to make billions of dollars at the box office...

Where do you think these gold coins come from and where do they go?
Once these incomes are used to pay taxes, the whole story will be discovered in a minute...If you don't want to be a legal expert, who would dare to pay this tax on their own initiative?

Hide if you can, hide if you can, what if you get lucky?

If you really can't avoid it, just bow your head and accept the punishment when the time comes!
Unless you don't want to be famous and are willing to be an insignificant person, as long as you have a little ambition, it is only a matter of time before you become corrupt.

Those capitals can lure you on board in ten thousand ways.

From this perspective, Xu Lingyue's quiet attitude is not necessarily a bad thing...

By the evening, related entries were still at the top of the hot search list.

This abnormal ranking immediately made those who were interested smell danger.

This matter is probably not just Yang Yan's problem anymore, it needs to be magnified!
If there were no official statement, this hot search term would not have remained at the top of the list.

Dangerous!
That night, everyone in the entire Chinese entertainment industry was in danger and panic.

All artists and companies with dirty deeds have started to make emergency plans and prepare for the impending storm.

The next day, dozens of "star studios" and strange shell companies immediately chose to deregister urgently.

By the third day, the number of deregistered studios and shell companies had reached several hundred, heading towards four digits!

Once upon a time, the number of endorsements and companies a star had was one of the indicators of their commercial value.

However, now, these shell companies have become time bombs that can take their lives at any time!

Shake it off, shake it off quickly!
The biggest victim of this turmoil has to be "The Legend of Yunlan".

It had only been on the air for two days when it was hit hard by the advance on-demand broadcasts, causing serious damage.

I haven't even recovered yet, and then Yang Yan gets into trouble again.

You should know that Yang Yan is the singer of the theme song of this drama, and the film crew has always used her as one of the important promotional materials, hoping to convert all her fans to follow this drama.

The result is now that he not only failed to reap the benefits of fans, but also became a fish in the pond at the city gate.

Youying was also so scared that they quickly cut out the theme song of "The Legend of Yunlan" and re-uploaded it.

A good drama turned into a "headless monster" overnight.

The official Weibo account also took emergency action and removed all the previous updates that were trying to take advantage of Yang Yan's popularity, as if this person had never had any connection with "The Legend of Yunlan".

Still feeling uneasy, the authorities issued a statement: severely boycotting inferior artists and calling on every practitioner to pay taxes in full and on time.

The desire to survive was so strong that it almost overflowed the screen, amusing the crowd of onlookers.

However, this is of no use. Everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before this drama is investigated.

Reason one: The so-called 200 million investment is totally disproportionate to the quality of the dramas produced so far. Where did the money go?
Reason 2: Both actors are top stars in the industry, and Zhu Jingyi and Yang Yan are actually affiliated with the same entertainment company...

Based on these two points, it would be strange if this drama was not investigated!

In the face of this storm, the fans of the two top stars have completely quieted down and no longer dare to talk nonsense, for fear of harming their own brothers and sisters.

All of a sudden, the environment became exceptionally quiet...

But for Zhou Hao, there was no way he could just sit back and enjoy the show.

Because the variety show call from Penguin has arrived.
