According to Chinese media, on January 24, actor Deng Lun made a comeback nearly 3 years after the tax evasion scandal that caused his career to collapse.
Specifically, Dang Luan appeared in a self-published magazine called ArtPDF. In this publication, the actor was one of seven invited artists.
They participated in the challenge of creating 7 different products, to answer the question: "How to recognize a person without a name, without a face, without an identity?".
However, Dang Luan did not use his real name, he appeared under the name Bac Bac. The pictures of him in magazines also did not show his face. In the interview video, when asked how he wanted to cover his face, the actor said he wanted a colorful flower garden on his face.
The magazine was put on sale for 80 yuan per copy (about 280,000 VND). After only 10 minutes, sales of the magazine reached 10,000 copies, then quickly surpassed 30,000 copies sold on the afternoon of January 24.
Dang Luan was born in 1992 and was once a famous star of Chinese cinema with works such as "Not Flowers, Not Dew", "Ode to Joy 2", "Ashes of Love", "Steamed Pears with Rock Sugar"...
In March 2022, the Chinese entertainment industry was shocked when Deng Lun was investigated for tax evasion.
The actor falsely declared and used tricks to transfer personal income from 2019 to 2020, evading personal income tax of 47.6 million yuan and underpaying 13.9 million yuan. Deng Lun was fined a total of 106 million yuan.
At that time, the Shanghai Tax Bureau said that the actor was found to have committed tax fraud since 2021 and was warned, but he did not voluntarily pay the fine.
The tax evasion scandal caused Deng Lun to be banned from broadcasting indefinitely, removed from film projects, a series of brands that had collaborated with him canceled their contracts, and his career collapsed. There is information that Deng Lun is currently developing his business activities.
Audiences believe that appearing in a magazine after 3 years could be a sign that the actor is preparing to return.
However, Dang Luan's journey back to the entertainment industry may be very difficult, because most Chinese stars involved in tax evasion scandals are completely banned from broadcasting, with almost no way to return to domestic activities.
