Fan Bingbing, an A-list Chinese movie star, has dropped off the radar from public eye for months, sparking wild speculation in China about her fate, including reports that the actress had been detained.
Fan Bingbing, one of China's most well-known movie stars
and a rising name in Hollywood, has disappeared.
In July, she disappeared from social media
amid rumours that she had been barred from leaving the country
during a tax evasion investigation.
But in order to transform the system,
there are many institutional problems that need to be solved.
We need to be more lenient
towards small and medium-sized enterprises,
stars and celebrities.
But to put it in detail,
what if the landlord doesn't have any money?
Then we must be more strict.
One of China's wealthiest entertainers,
Fan earned tens of millions of dollars for her roles,
along with high amounts of money in appearance fees
and for product endorsements.
It is those contracts that appear to have landed
her and her boyfriend in trouble with Chinese authorities.
In Beijing, some residents stress that high earners like Fan
should not evade tax responsibilities.
I think it's a very serious problem.
Because now, how should I put it?
Now, those small stars earn more than us,
so they shouldn't be taxed.
Instead, we sometimes have to pay them a salary.
They get paid so much,
so shouldn't they pay a little more for the country?
I think that's how it is.
Chinese authorities have sought to rein in high salaries for actors
that can eat up much of a production's budget.
Criminal cases can be career-ending for Chinese celebrities
because the communist authorities,
who possess ultimate control over what content is released,
have ordered offenders to be blacklisted.
