Gu Qingcheng, a talented woman of her generation and a virtuous empress, was reborn. She refused to repeat the path of glory from her previous life. What's this about "inner beauty shines t...
"Sister, please pay the tax!"
Gu Qingcheng made the call and got straight to the point without any preparation.
Sister Hua, Gu Qingcheng's cousin, agent and partner on the phone, didn't react at all.
"What? Rongrong, what did you say?"
Rongrong is Gu Qingcheng's nickname.
Sister Hua and Gu Qingcheng are actually real relatives. They grew up together and have worked together for so long. In private, they just call each other by their nicknames.
"I say, pay back all the money that I and our studio have owed you over the years!"
Only then did Sister Hua become certain that she had not heard wrongly.
She subconsciously shouted, "Do you know what you are saying?"
"Also, what do you mean we owe it? That's legitimate tax avoidance, okay?"
"And everyone in the entertainment industry does it, and we're not even the craziest ones."
What Sister Hua said was not entirely an excuse.
This is indeed the case.
After all, the original owner had been abroad for more than ten years, and at most he was occasionally invited by China to play a small "guest role".
So, she missed the period when the pay was the craziest.
I also missed the trend of artists opening studios, setting up offshore companies, and making yin-yang contracts.
There aren't many loopholes to begin with, so why rush to fill them?
"Isn't that better? At least when you replenish, you don't have to replenish too much!"
However, Gu Qingcheng seemed not to hear Sister Hua's reluctance and incomprehension.
"Rongrong!
”
Sister Hua was furious, and unconsciously took on the posture of an older sister, wanting to suppress her disobedient younger sister through blood.
"Sister, don't forget, my senior spent several years in prison for tax evasion."
Gu Qingcheng couldn't say that according to this trend, the authorities would definitely take action.
After all, these were her speculations based on many signs.
She had no clear evidence.
It's more of the intuition of being a superior!
She could only cite an older sister in the entertainment industry as an example.
Coincidentally, this person also played in "Empress Wu Zetian" and can be regarded as Gu Qingcheng's "predecessor".
As soon as Gu Qingcheng said that, Sister Hua knew who it was.
After all, apart from her identity as a "senior", looking at the entire entertainment industry, the most famous and most well-known artist who has been punished for taxes is her!
“…” Sister Hua was choked.
After a while, she said, "That's different! Let me emphasize again, we are legally avoiding taxes!"
"Reasonable? Is it legal? Also, what about the Yin-Yang contract? Is that legal too?"
Gu Qingcheng was quite aggressive.
Sister Hua was once again speechless.
Because just as Gu Qingcheng said, this behavior, strictly speaking, is indeed not very legal.
But, if she really had to make up for it, Sister Hua couldn't bear to do it.
That's money!
Not one or two thousand, but ten or twenty thousand!
But it is often tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Taking a deep breath, Sister Hua tried to continue persuading her sister, who had gone crazy, "Rongrong, this is not about money."
"This is the unspoken rule in the circle, everyone does it!"
"If you suddenly come forward to exchange money, you'll be the first to do so. If you're not careful, you'll incur public outrage!"
This is just like during the Qing Dynasty, when court officials would borrow money from the national treasury.
Is everyone short of money? Isn't it still right to borrow money?
The answer is definitely no.
However, if someone rashly jumps out to repay the money, he will become a "traitor" and the victim of everyone's loss.
Doing this is not just a matter of money, it is also very likely to offend people.
"Then do it quietly!"
Gu Qingcheng actually wanted to say, so what if it arouses public outrage?
The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, and everyone is a potential competitor.
It is perfectly normal to pull others down in order to get to the top.
Besides, should we continue to make mistakes just for the so-called unspoken rules?
Of course, these words are too "hard" to be said.
Sister Hua will definitely scold me.
Gu Qingcheng didn't want to explain too much, so she took the online ridicule as an example, "Sister, I just read the news online."
"Someone's already hinting that there's something fishy about the accounts of a certain famous celebrity!"
"This is a red line, it cannot be crossed easily."
"My return to China this time has infringed upon the interests of some people!"
"Otherwise, how could a simple film like 'Beauty's Plot' attract such ridicule from the entire internet?"
"I don't believe that there aren't other artists and their studios taking advantage of this!"
Upon hearing this, Sister Hua fell into a brief silence.
Of course she knew that Rongrong's return had indeed created competition with some big stars.
Not to mention anything else, even in this movie "Beauty's Scheme", the original heroine decided by the film crew was not Gu Qingcheng.
She is a big star of the same age as Gu Qingcheng. She has starred in two hit dramas in recent years and is very popular.
If Gu Qingcheng hadn't come back, this big star would have become one of the top female stars in the domestic entertainment industry.
But, Gu Qingcheng came back.
Needless to say, Gu Qingcheng is the national goddess.
He can handle both the big and small screens.
And he has the title of an international star.
Maybe he will still be just a supporting role in Hollywood.
But if Gu Qingcheng goes abroad to walk the red carpet with some big stars in China, the foreign media and audiences will be able to call out Gu Qingcheng's name, but they may not recognize those big stars.
This is the influence of international stars.
Relying on her huge national base and visible influence, Gu Qingcheng successfully snatched the drama from the big star.
