X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Actress Fan Bingbing Caught Up In Huge Chinese Tax Evasion Scandal

Well-known Chinese actress and Blink actress in X-Men Days Of Future Past Fan Bingbing is in some big trouble with the law after being outed by a Chinese TV Presenter for false claims made on her taxes. Deadline reported Chinese TV presenter Cui Yongyuan posted several images to social media that showed Bingbing signed several different contracts for the same job. Essentially, Bingbing is accused of submitting the contract with the smaller amount for tax purposes, but actually signing a much larger deal to avoid paying out a larger sum. 

Apparently, this practice is not uncommon in the area in which Bingbing lives and is a practice called “yin-yang” contracts. The Chinese government has begun a crackdown on this type of practice, and with the entertainment industry being used to set an example, Fan Bingbing could be in some real trouble. The actress has since lawyered up and denied any wrongdoing, but if we never see her in another X-Men film again, this could be why. That said, she's a much bigger deal in China than her role in the Marvel film may have let on, so perhaps she'll beat the rap and just pay a stiff penalty.
