Chapter 218: Yang Mi Suffers a Cruel Situation, A Difficult Journey

Yang Mi's company, Jiaxing, has just completed a performance-based agreement, with a valuation of several billion yuan.

As soon as the dual contracts were exposed, the valuation had to be cut by at least half.

These once star stocks on the New Third Board are now finding it difficult to secure financing or find buyers.

In particular, Shangshang Vision Pictures, a shareholder that originally invested in Yang Mi, successfully sold its shares in the original timeline.

It's going to be difficult to escape now!

Another question is whether Yang Mi herself was involved in dual contracts, which is also hard to say.

After all, Chen Jingyuan remembered that Yang Mi was summoned for questioning and had to pay back taxes, and now, with one celebrity after another being exposed, the situation has become more complicated.

Yang Mi might get dragged into this too!

The reason is simple: many entertainment companies see that if their own artists get involved, they are likely to drag everyone else into it as well.

This is a fairly common method, and hopefully the authorities will not punish the majority.

According to some media reports before her rebirth, Yang Mi's tax payment may exceed 2 million yuan!

Chen Jingyuan believes that this figure is quite fair, mainly because in 19, the State Taxation Administration released a report showing that the entire industry's self-reported amount was 117.42 billion yuan in the past year.

For Yang Mi, who is a top-tier celebrity, paying 2 million yuan in back taxes is actually relatively small.

Of course, Chen Jingyuan felt that the self-reporting here sounded nice, but in reality, some people had probably already been warned.

Just as Chen Jingyuan had suspected, Yang Mi was indeed in a terrible predicament.

"Why is Huayi Brothers' actions affecting the entire entertainment industry!?"

Yang Mi was really upset and harbored a lot of resentment towards Huayi.

They hadn't been riding high for long when they were hit with a devastating blow.

Yang Mi immediately began to conduct a self-examination and also kept a close eye on public opinion.

After all, she's not stupid; she knows that exposing so many celebrities might implicate even more people.

Unfortunately, Yang Mi was a little too late in paying attention!

The related search terms have already made it onto the trending list, and examples of Yang Mi's studio have been cited.

Although these are just some doubts, there is no detailed and solid evidence.

But this moment still had a significant impact on Yang Mi.

Although Yang Mi had her studio deny the rumors immediately, the problem is that many netizens don't really trust her.

Of course, it's not just Yang Mi; basically, many top celebrities can't escape it.

Even Bai Lu, a rising starlet, could not escape this fate.

Fortunately, Bailu was quite assertive and directly posted the company's tax payment records.

Every account can be reconciled, since Bai Lu hasn't taken on many endorsements yet, making it easy to calculate.

This evidence strongly proves my innocence!

And thanks to this incident, Bai Lu gained quite a few fans.

It's kind of like turning misfortune into blessing!

As for Chen Keke and Tian Xiwei, they receive relatively less attention.

The reason is simple: they weren't on the Forbes Celebrity List!

Many netizens focused more on last year's Forbes Celebrity List.

None of them have an income of less than 40 million, so theoretically they should pay a lot of taxes.

This is one of the reasons why Bai Lu was targeted!

Fortunately, the company is very strict about paying taxes.

"All the necessary documents and certificates are complete!"

Bai Lu couldn't help but admire the company's foresight.

Without this evidence, it wouldn't be so easy to clear one's name in a short time.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it becomes, at least it has also drawn many netizens into the ranks of those who are suspicious.

This will definitely have a significant impact on the White Dew season!

Compared to Bai Lu, other celebrities don't have it so easy to prove their innocence.

Most of the attention is still focused on some of the top celebrities over the years.

After all, these people became famous early and have high incomes, making them the most likely to have tax problems.

At this time, a special incident was exposed, which pushed Yang Mi into the spotlight once again.

It turns out that in October 2015, Yang Mi made a public announcement while promoting the movie "The Witness" in Jincheng.

The main donation was of 100 white canes and 50 Braille typewriters to Jincheng Special Education School.

As a result, the media suddenly discovered that the donated supplies had not arrived at all.

The words "fraudulent donation" spread instantly!

At this point in time, it's safe to say that Yang Mi's public image is on the verge of collapse.

Jiaxing's market value has continued to decline, and currently, Jiaxing's main asset is Yang Mi herself.

If Yang Mi were to fall, it's highly likely that Jiaxing's market value would be halved again.

Naturally, many shareholders were unhappy, putting a lot of pressure on Yang Mi.

This caused Yang Mi's condition to worsen!

Although Yang Mi's studio immediately apologized and shifted the blame to the person in charge.

However, it's been more than two years, and there's still a problem that they haven't confirmed or implemented it.

In short, Yang Mi can never clear her name about this matter.

Most importantly, many entertainment companies are currently in dire straits, and many celebrities have been affected.

At this time, Yang Mi's charity fraud scandal broke out, and her popularity was significantly higher than that of other celebrities.

Naturally, many entertainment companies tacitly agreed to increase Yang Mi's popularity, aiming to attract more attention to her.

In other words, they hope Yang Mi can take the blame!

There's been a lot of rumors and speculation surrounding Yang Mi, making things even more difficult for her now.

Chen Jingyuan is always paying attention to online public opinion.

He was the only one who didn't expect that Yang Mi would be the one suffering the most in this wave.

Although Fan Bayi was directly exposed, the investigation into the matter is not yet complete and the results have not been released.

On the contrary, Yang Mi's charity fraud scandal is a stark reality. Although she tried to shift the blame, the problem is that she didn't completely shift it.

In addition, some entertainment companies are trying to pin the blame on Yang Mi.

"No way, no way?!"

Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but hesitate, wondering if Yang Mi, who was still a top star before her rebirth, was about to have her career ruined.

The situation does not look very optimistic at present!

In retrospect, he only slightly fueled the flames, but he never expected it to cause such a big problem.

If the charity fraud scandal and the dual contracts were handled separately, Yang Mi would be able to deal with them easily.

The problem is that after they came together, coupled with the tacit agreement among many entertainment companies, Yang Mi became a target.

This has led to the current situation!

Chen Jingyuan didn't forget to call Dilraba, mainly to inquire about the current situation of Jiaxing.

"Jiaxing is in a bit of a mess right now, and Sister Mi is struggling to keep up with her own situation."

Dilraba's voice rang out with a hint of trepidation, her words clearly still carrying a trace of worry.

However, it's understandable; if Jaywalk Studio were to collapse, many of its artists wouldn't necessarily benefit.

Dilraba's contract with Jaywalk Studio still has two years remaining.

In addition, she also did not want Sister Mi to collapse due to personal feelings.

After learning about Jiaxing's situation, Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh, "This wave of trouble has really hit Jiaxing's lifeline."

Of course, Dilraba couldn't help but ask Chen Jingyuan for his opinion.

Since Chen Jingyuan is Dilraba's support, it's only natural for him to ask him questions at this moment.

Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but think carefully about how he would deal with the situation if he were in that situation.

First, they'll definitely have to spend a lot of money to drag other top celebrities out and put them on trial together.

Regarding the alleged donation fraud, we can also bring up the incident at the Bazaar Charity Night.

Another option is to spend money to buy a reputation; although it's a bit mercenary, at least they admit their mistakes and correct them.

In summary, it's about spending a lot of money!

Including this tax payment, Yang Mi will definitely have to pay a hefty sum.

But as long as we can preserve our reputation, any price is worth paying!

It's important to know that if Yang Mi were to actually fall from grace, many of her endorsements might trigger a breach of contract clause.

The amount of compensation needed may be higher, and this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Yang Mi!

Chen Jingyuan briefly explained his thoughts, and he didn't care whether Dilraba told Yang Mi or not.

Ultimately, this is a decision that Yang Mi needs to make!
