The news that 90-year-old actress Zheng Shuang is earning 2.08 million yuan a day has made the issue of “sky-high salary” and “yin-yang contract” a hot topic again. In the wake of the news, veteran actor Zhang Guo posted a photo of his work in the early hours of the morning on his Weibo account and was unexpectedly scolded.
The 66-year-old Chinese actor and director, Zhang Guo, posted a photo of the “bright moon in the sky” on his Weibo account at 4:30 a.m. on April 29, with the caption, “Finishing work, can’t remember how many big night shifts it is.”
Originally, a closer look at Zhang Guo’s original words, it seems to be just lamenting the hardships of entering the age of the elderly, but still working late at night, or a “chicken soup” type of self-encouragement. It is not surprising that a stone has stirred up layers of waves. For Zhang Guo’s post, the netizens’ messages, although there are sporadic greetings such as “hard work”, but instantly drowned in sarcasm and crusade.
Many netizens left indignant messages: “Several million yuan a day, a night shift also lamented? Have you paid taxes according to the law?” “A night shift’s pay is worth several years of my life, why so pretentious!” “With that much money, I’m willing to work the night shift!”
The incident originated on April 26, when Zhang Heng, the ex-boyfriend of popular actress Zheng Shuan, broke the news on Weibo, accusing Zheng Shuan of receiving 160 million yuan in one drama “Sinister” through a “yin and yang contract”, or a daily salary of 2.08 million yuan if calculated on the basis of Zheng Shuan’s 77-day shooting period in the group.
As the incident fermented, the Chinese Communist Party’s Taxation Bureau and Broadcasting Bureau quickly launched an investigation into Zheng Shuang, and even the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also issued an article criticizing Zheng Shuang and naming Fan Bingbing again for the 2018 “Yin Yang Contract” incident, saying “how can tax evasion by celebrities be repeatedly banned”.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that Zheng Shuang is earning millions of dollars a day and signing “Yin Yang Contract”, the wind has not passed, a number of big-name stars “absconded overnight”, suspected to be worried by the official “cut leeks”, one after another. The company has written off about 200 companies.
In response to the netizens’ bombardment, Zhang responded on May 2 on Weibo: “If you send it, you will still find scolding. But I can’t hate, because I’m an old man who is still working happily.” Zhang Guo’s response topped the hot search list on May 3.
Some netizens said they leave early and return late every day, squeeze the subway and squeeze the bus, often can’t take a double break, and often work overtime until the early hours of the morning. Even so hard, but the salary is meager, no one wants to hear them complain, they can only secretly lament in their hearts that it is not easy to earn money, life is too miserable, and how to “work happily” like Zhang Guo.
Obviously, Zhang has become a ventilator and an object of catharsis for netizens in front of the hard reality.
In China, actors over 60 years old are basically “retired”, but according to the mainland media, Zhang Guo, who is 66 years old, is still working hard, not only in film and television productions, but also in many variety shows, just like a “work machine”, the most exaggerated The most exaggerated time even worked 18 hours a day.
The reason why he is still working so hard at his age, and as long as there is work, not to pick and choose all to take, Zhang Guo once revealed in a speech, because he wants to complete the “betting agreement” signed with the entertainment giant “Huayi Brothers”.
Zhang said, since the signing of the “betting agreement”, his own life is very hard, whether it is to receive the play, to participate in activities, or shooting ads, have become no threshold, not before relaxed, because always thinking of ways to fill up the money hole to others.
In addition, according to an article on Sohu.com, it was disclosed that “Zhang Guo stumped an unconscious son who was victimized by his drug-addicted domestic violence son, Zhang Mo.”
In December 2003, Zhang Mo, who was in his third year in the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, was refused several times to talk to his girlfriend, and in a fit of anger, a bout of fisticuffs injured him, and Zhang Mo was ordered by the school to withdraw from school. After that, Zhang Guo can only come forward to apologize for his son.
The company’s main goal is to provide a solution to the problem. Although after the detention, Zhang Mo said, “I don’t want to go to a place like detention center anymore,” two years later, he was sentenced to 6 months of criminal detention and fined 5,000 RMB for allowing others to take drugs at home.
It is rumored that Zhang Guo has changed the shareholding of his film company for the sake of Zhang Mo’s livelihood, and Zhang Mo was promoted to the biggest shareholder and took up a key position. As Zhang Mo is not allowed to film due to his status as an “inferior artist”, Zhang Guo has been on stage and almost all of the major productions of the company are starred by Zhang Guo.
Perhaps because of Zhang Guo’s own family, there are comments that “Zhang Guo can not blame the netizens’ hatred of the rich, but also can not be blamed on people Zheng Shuang.”
