C-actress Song Zu Er Reportedly Under Investigation for Tax Evasion and Fraud Putting Her Upcoming Dramas The Demon Hunter’s Romance and Prisoner of Beauty at Risk of Airing Ban

So there is an unexpected late summer bombshell on what has been a relatively scandal free few months in C-ent with more dramas than usual all airing to provide a glut of entertainment for consumption. Today C-ent reported that actress Song Zu Er has been reported to the tax authorities for tax evasion and tax fraud, reportedly by an employee of her agency. The allegations are she used multiple companies to sign dual contracts and also got payment diverted to her personal accounts to avoid paying taxes. She was listed as a director of four companies and three of them as of this morning have had it’s registration cancelled. That’s pretty damning. Her official Baidu bar claimed this was all rumors first but then her previous agency released a statement that her contract had expired as of November 2022 and she was representing herself now so there is no connection between that agency and Song Zu Er since then. Way to distance oneself.

Later the tax authorities released a statement that it will open a tax investigation on Song Zu Er and information will be shared on the official website, but also said it did not receive a tip off report from an agency employee. Song Zu Er has two big C-dramas on deck the first was supposed to premiere in September with The Demon Hunter’s Romance opposite Allen Ren and the second is Prisoner of Beauty with Liu Yu Ning which is ready just hasn’t gotten any firm airing date yet. She also has two other pre-filmed dramas less high profile also waiting to air, but out of the four dramas 3 are S or S+ level so would be a massive financial loss to the producers if it can’t air. If the tax allegations are true then buh bye to her career as with the careers of other tax evaders Fang Bing Bing, Deng Lun, and Zheng Shuang (though hers was also cancelled for the surrogate baby scandal).
