Taiwanese opera actor Guo Meizhu has been in the entertainment industry for decades. In 1999, she acted as the producer and host of the “Taiwan Odd Case” drama series. “A Strange Case” was regarded as her comeback masterpiece, but this magazine received a complaint from local drama actress Lin Xiufang that Guo Meizhu owed many actors salaries, and someone asked her for performance fees, but it was not read back.
Lin Xiufang, a local actor who has appeared in dramas such as “Ji Gong” and “Broken Palm Shun Niang”, can always interpret the roles in the play vividly, but in recent years, due to the reduction of workload, she once changed careers. He complained that the producer Guo Meizhu, who was unreasonable, had filmed many episodes, but couldn’t get a dime.
“The filming of the Beigua Banquet started in March this year. Before that, Sister Meizhu asked me to play other roles, but I haven’t received the money for the performance of the Beigua Banquet.” Lin Xiufang, who had not seen him for a long time, appeared again in In front of the camera, but this time, instead of sharing the performance experience, he came forward to sue Guo Meizhu, a well-known veteran actor and producer, for arrears.
“Originally she said that the Pumpkin Banquet would be allocated to me one month after it aired on FTV, but it has been almost 5 months since the March episode aired, and I have sent messages to their husband and wife (Guo Meizhu and his wife) many times. To ask for my performance fee, her husband just told me that he knew, and then he would not read it and blocked my messages.” Lin Xiufang said.
It is understood that Lin Xiufang and Guo Meizhu have been rolling around in the local drama circle for many years, and the two sides sympathize with sisters. Guo Meizhu, who once became popular because of a drama in Taiwan’s strange case, has re-filmed the local TV drama “New Taiwan’s Weird Case” as a comeback work in recent years. , Lin Xiufang also stood by without hesitation, and played an important role in the play.
“When they came to talk to me, I agreed right away. Even the performance fee was far lower than my price, but she still owes the money to this day.” Lin Xiufang complained. It is understood that in order to support her good sister, Lin Xiufang cut the performance fee to the remaining 10,000 yuan per episode.
According to the investigation of this magazine, at the beginning of this year, Lin Xiufang was invited by Guo Meizhu to appear in the local drama “New Taiwan Mystery – Beigua Banquet”, playing the role of the hotel mother Sang “Sister”. Helpless, the gods and people are separated, and the wheel-turning king is in charge of major events in the underworld. He has to go to the underworld after his death to stay with each other for a long time. Lin Xiufang’s interpretation of the role that is pulled between death and love is incisive, and many viewers are quite moved.
The veteran actress Lin Xiufang is no stranger to audiences who like to watch local dramas. Now 60 years old, she has been in the entertainment industry for more than 30 years. Her previous marriage is still talked about, because she was introduced by a friend at that time. I met my ex-husband who is engaged in international trade, and the two got married in Africa.
She also went to live in Africa for her love, and lived in a big mansion purchased by her husband, but her husband married a third and fourth wife soon after marriage, and lost her freshness to Lin Xiufang. Lin Xiufang lived a life of three maids and one husband. After living for 4 years, Lin Xiufang finally couldn’t bear it and returned to Taiwan after her divorce from her husband.
Lin Xiufang said that the total cost of her performance was 90,000 yuan. After the show was broadcast, she kept asking the accountant of the production company for money, but she was always perfunctory. In the end, she called Guo Meizhu’s husband, who was also the producer. She only said that it would be dealt with, but immediately blocked Lin Xiufang’s LINE account. Because the two parties did not sign a contract for the performance fee because of their good friendship at the beginning, Lin Xiufang also plans to complain to the performing arts union, hoping to recover her hard-earned money.
In this regard, the magazine called Guo Meizhu. She said that after the FTV funding was released on the 15th of this month, the salaries of all actors and staff had been paid out through remittance, and there was no arrears. As for the actor surnamed Hong It was filmed by someone else, and she didn’t leave any relevant information, so she couldn’t find this person.
Guo Meizhu’s accountant explained that the salary of the actor surnamed Hong had been remitted on the 15th, and the company did not owe her salary. As for the arrears of the actors and staff, the accountant emphasized that the company has its own operating procedures for appropriation, and The previous accountant did not actually hand over the data, which caused the process to be delayed.
Lin Xiufang and Miss Hong told this magazine that they did receive remittances in the past two days, but it was not the full salary agreed with the other party.
