"Hidden rules in the entertainment industry are exposed, tax evasion and tax evasion are on the rise again, 40 million in four days, who is Liu Pei referring to?"
"The latest news is that New Entertainment reporters have successfully called Liu Pei to discuss common phenomena in the industry!"
On the Internet, a Weibo post suddenly posted by the well-known host Liu Pei caused an uproar in the entire industry.
As time went by, the incident gradually attracted the attention of the whole society.
On Liu Pei's Weibo, two contracts were posted in black and white.
Although the content is almost the same, the amount signed is very different.
And this is the so-called yin and yang contract.
Yin-Yang contract, that is, a "Yang contract" with a smaller amount is used for filing, registration and tax payment with the competent authority.
Another "yin contract" with a higher amount actually agreed on the transaction price between the two parties, but kept it secret from each other.
In 2018, there were discussions in the industry about Yin-Yang contracts in the entertainment industry. However, because they did not dig deeper, although the government issued policies to restrict sky-high film salaries, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and it ended hastily.
Of course, after a period of tightening, this phenomenon has also declined to a certain extent.
After all, "yin and yang contracts" are illegal in terms of taxation and financial accounting.
Once verified, the tax authorities have the right to adjust and determine the tax amount based on the true transaction amount, and the taxpayer shall bear the legal consequences such as back payment of tax, late tax fees, and tax administrative penalties.
For entertainers who rely on popularity, this kind of stain is a stain that cannot be washed away in a lifetime, which is equivalent to ruining their career. Ordinary entertainers will not take risks for this.
But as time goes by, more and more people are unable to resist the temptation of money, especially among high-income celebrities. This behavior is still common.
You know, the higher your income, the more taxes you pay.
This time, the contract exposed by the well-known host Liu Pei was signed in 2020. The amounts on the two contracts were 5 million and 35 million respectively. According to Liu Pei, this totaled 40 million.
The sky-high remuneration only allowed the artist to shoot for four days.
As for who the two contracts belong to, Liu Pei did not specify it clearly on Weibo, but mosaicd the name column on the contract.
But the power of netizens is extremely powerful.
After the incident was exposed, as attention became more and more intense, people soon began to speculate on the movies being produced within the date range based on the contract signing date.
Later, because of the huge amount, netizens quickly shortened the search scope again.
After all, only the most popular and top-tier artists in the industry can afford the astronomical salary of 40 million for four days.
Soon, popular artists were pushed under the magnifying glass and studied carefully by countless people.
On the day of the exposure, the famous Seventh Son of the Empire came into view.
After another two days, the scope gradually narrowed. Among the seven sons of the empire, there were a total of four who had an appointment at that time.
They are Zhang Henge, Chen Mubai, Huang Zibin and Han Yu.
This suddenly detonated explosives in half of the entertainment industry, and people were panicked.
Affected by this turmoil, the A-share film and television sector was in dire straits. The overall market value of the sector evaporated by nearly 10 billion yuan, and the market value of many film and television companies fell by more than 5%.
At the same time, many film and television companies are actively "clarifying" the matter, saying that the company operates in compliance with the law and there is no yin and yang contract.
And the one at the center of the storm is definitely Lemon Entertainment.
When general manager Mo Jingming saw Liu Pei's exposure to the Yin Yang contract, he felt bad - because the movie involved in this contract was the actor he took the lead in finding.
And this actor is Han Yu.
After Chairman Du Gaoxiang learned the news, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and pointed at Mo Jingming's nose and cursed.
Another week passed, and the Yin-Yang contract incident reached its climax.
After discussions and research by netizens and artists in the industry, and after rounds of eliminations, the protagonist of the contract gradually emerged in front of the entire network.
There are three candidates in total, namely Han Yu, Zhang Henge, and Huang Zibin.
Another Chen Mubai, although he had a film contract, the film he participated in was actually recorded cross-border, and he was the leading actor, and the period lasted for two months, which did not meet the requirements.
However, Han Yu, Zhang Henge, and Huang Zibin participated in the film recording at that time, but they were solid supporting roles.
The recording cycle also lasted one week, and at that time, the remuneration disclosed to the public was in the range of several million.
After realizing this fact, the film producers who had participated in the recording of the three people quickly posted clarifications on Weibo, stating that all roles hired by the film only have one contract and are open to organizational investigation at any time.
Every family member's attitude was sincere and they tried their best to explain, just short of swearing.
Among them, the ones who screamed the loudest and most intensely belonged to the crew of "Noodle Man".
Due to the long production cycle, "Noodle Man" took two years to be released in the near future.
I originally thought that the addition of popular artist Zhang Henge would skyrocket, but I didn't expect a sudden disaster, which would have an absolutely huge impact on the box office.
Even the director started to criticize on Weibo: "Which person who signed a big or small contract with a thousand swords can escape from the first grade of junior high school, but you can escape from the fifteenth grade? He is a man, so he should come out and recognize it immediately!"
This is almost equivalent to pointing at the noses of the other two productions, "The Prodigy" and "The Little Boss".
Because of these two movies, one stars Han Yu and the other stars Huang Zibin.
However, both of these movies have already been released and have achieved good results, so there are no worries about the box office. On the contrary, there is no sadness and excitement like "Noodle Man".
However, even the clay figure might be angry when faced with the repeated insults from the director of "Noodle Man".
But the directors and crew members of these two films were rarely silent.
The official Weibo only issued a clarification statement and stopped participating in the excitement.
Such anomalies instantly attracted the attention of netizens.
Countless keyboard warriors went to the official accounts of the two movies to laugh and curse. At the same time, Han Yu and Huang Zibin became the most suspected targets of the incident.
But many insiders in the bureau began to gradually come to their senses.
Yin and Yang contracts can be said to be a common phenomenon in the industry.
Whether it's "Wizards" or "The Little Boss", their directors are not famous actors, and most of the main actors involved in the filming are second-tier celebrities. Therefore, it is obviously normal to invite a super-traffic artist to attract traffic.
.
For this kind of popular artist, the millions of clearly marked remuneration will definitely not be announced by the other party, so the yin and yang contract appeared naturally.
In other words, the reason why the producers of the two movies "The Prodigy" and "The Little Boss" remained silent at critical moments is because these two movies most likely had yin and yang contract transactions behind the scenes.
The speculation about this conclusion first appeared on a passerby and netizen.
As soon as the Weibo was released, it attracted the attention of some netizens.
Immediately afterwards, it was wildly forwarded by some marketing accounts that were trying to gain traffic, and it once topped the Weibo hot search list.
"Han Yu is the real owner, Huang Zibin is the accidental victim."
On WeChat, I saw a message from Fu Yuntao. Liao Yuan, who had just held his last concert, was standing in the corridor of the concert hall, dumbfounded.
Just yesterday, the prosecutor formally set up a task force to investigate Liu Pei's exposure of the Yin and Yang contract.
24 hours later, two popular celebrities, Han Yu and Huang Zibin, were summoned by the prosecutor.
As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar across the Internet.
Liu Pei, the person who caused the turmoil, posted a Weibo post after seeing the result: "I want to solemnly apologize to Mr. Huang Zibin. The result is reasonable and unexpected. It is manslaughter. It is definitely manslaughter!"
