Every time I see the news of tax evasion in the entertainment industry, I can't help but sigh: Is the money in the entertainment industry really so easy to make?
Chen Zhipeng, an artist who has a place in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, is suspected of tax evasion of more than 10 million
Recently, some paparazzi claimed to have received revelations related to Chen Zhipeng, and the whistleblower revealed a series of negative information about Chen Zhipeng, which was surprising but seemed reasonable.
Suspected of tax evasion.
According to the whistleblower, he was a former employee of Chen Zhipeng, and he exposed Chen Zhipeng's two tax evasion incidents.
This is not empty words, the whistleblower also attached some written documents related to taxation.
Chen Zhipeng, formerly known as Chen Hongxiang, received a tax inspection notice from the Beijing Tax Inspection Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation in 2022 to investigate his tax payment between 2019 and 2021.
Although the specific amount of tax evasion has not been disclosed, it is reported that the amount of tax he paid in September this year alone reached more than 10 million.
What's even more shocking is that according to the whistleblower, in the past two years, Chen Zhipeng has earned him as much as 20 million in the field of live broadcast alone, and he paid more than 11 million in taxes.
This makes people question that Chen Zhipeng, an old artist who has long been outdated, can still achieve such an amazing annual income.
However, Chen Zhipeng does not seem to plan to stop there. It is reported that he just paid his taxes in September, and the latest revelations say that he has been reported for the second time, and the tax bureau is investigating his tax payment in 2022-2023.
It is unbelievable that this disregard for the law has led to him being suspected of tax evasion again.
The whistleblower speculated that in the face of the tax investigation, Chen Zhipeng may try his best to dissolve the company and replace the staff around him in order to cover up the facts, so as to prevent insiders from revealing the inside story.
His concerns about ** and the tax authorities are evident.
Employee compensation arrears, PUA abuse of employees, and playing big names.
The reason why the whistleblower chose to expose Chen Zhipeng's tax evasion was because of Chen Zhipeng's character problems.
According to him, Chen Zhipeng treated his employees very badly.
The whistleblower, who has worked for Chen Zhipeng for two years, said that Chen Zhipeng never signed a labor contract with employees, and even defaulted on compensation after dissolving the company in violation of regulations, and refused to issue a resignation certificate.
He showed a labor arbitration application, which detailed the requirements, including the payment of 7,500 yuan in arrears of wages and the payment of 16 wage differences50,000 yuan, pay compensation 450,000 yuan, and provide proof of resignation.
This is not the first time Chen Zhipeng has been owed wages, as early as May last year, William, the agent who has worked with him for 14 years, announced the termination of the cooperative relationship with Chen Zhipeng, the reason is that Chen Zhipeng has been in arrears of commissions for a long time.
Even Chen Zhipeng's artist studio has issued a statement to publicly tear up with its own artists for the first time.
All this is a big surprise, because the conflict between the artist and the agent is rarely made public.
Chen Zhipeng not only defaulted on the wages of employees, but also often abused and PUA employees.
In the screenshot of the chat record provided by the whistleblower, Chen Zhipeng used vulgar language and insulted employees with foul language.
He regards himself as a big star, requires employees to greet him collectively, and is extremely demanding in his work attitude.
If an employee fails to greet him in time due to his busy schedule, he will directly blame and abuse him.
In his opinion, employees who do not greet him are rude and unqualified, and he is outrageously narcissistic about his star status.
Poor work attitude and conflicts with multiple brands.
Although Chen Zhipeng portrays himself as an old scalper and complains about his hard work every day, his work attitude is actually very bad.
According to the whistleblower, Chen Zhipeng often complained in the work group, complaining that his live broadcast had fed the entire company, but he thought that employees were lazy and hiding under the air conditioner.
Although he himself advertised himself as an old scalper, in fact, the live broadcast was not serious, and the promised 6-hour live broadcast was only broadcast for 2 hours in the end.
When the brand approached him to cooperate, he quickly collected the money, but he was also criticized for defaulting on the service fees of the live broadcast team and the payment owed to many brands.
Chen Zhipeng not only had a bad impact on the live broadcast, but also behaved extremely big in public, not only defaulting on the payment of the brand, but even the service fee of the live broadcast team.
This kind of behavior makes the brands he has worked with shy away from him. After all, an outdated artist with poor sales performance and low cooperation is really not necessary to cooperate again.
In general, Chen Zhipeng is not only suspected of tax evasion and tax evasion on economic issues, but also has serious problems in terms of character and work attitude.
He treated his employees extremely poorly, repeatedly defaulting on wages and compensation, and even involving physical abuse.
is not serious and responsible at work, and has conflicts with multiple brands, allowing himself to fall into the whirlpool of **.
In the highly competitive place of the entertainment industry, Chen Zhipeng's various behaviors have made people question his career.
