Film Company Demands Repayment of 67 Million Yuan from Fan Bingbing and Fan Chengcheng
Dongyang HiLe Film Entertainment Co., Ltd. issued an open letter on September 24, 2025, demanding Fan Bingbing and Fan Chengcheng repay 67 million yuan ($9.2 million) from a 2021 Beijing High Court judgment against Fan's former company, Wuxi Aimeishen Film Culture Co., Ltd. The debt stems from a failed 2017 investment in the unaired TV series "The Legend of Ba Qing" after Fan's 2018 tax scandal. Aimeishen entered bankruptcy in 2023 with only 22.03 yuan in assets. HiLe alleges Aimeishen transferred over 200 million yuan to Fan's personal studios and nearly 10 million yuan to Fan Chengcheng's studio between 2018-2020. Fan's lawyer argues corporate and personal liability must be legally distinguished.

Film Company Demands Fan Bingbing, Fan Chengcheng Repay $9.2 Million; Lawyer Says Corporate and Personal Liability Must Be Separated
On September 24, 2024, Dongyang Hi-Le Entertainment Co., Ltd. issued an open letter demanding that Fan Bingbing and her brother Fan Chengcheng repay 67 million yuan (approximately $9.2 million) owed by Wuxi Aimeishen Film Culture Co., Ltd., a company Fan Bingbing formerly controlled. The debt stems from a failed 2017 investment in the TV series 'The First Merchant of Qin' (also known as 'The King's Woman' or 'The Legend of Ba Qing'), which was never aired after Fan Bingbing's 2018 tax scandal. A 2021 Beijing High Court ruling ordered Aimeishen to repay the investment plus guaranteed returns, but enforcement has been unsuccessful. Aimeishen entered bankruptcy in 2023 with only 22.03 yuan in assets. Hi-Le alleges that between 2018 and 2020, Aimeishen transferred over 200 million yuan to Fan Bingbing's personal studios and nearly 10 million yuan to Fan Chengcheng's studio, potentially constituting asset stripping. Fan Bingbing's lawyer, Beijing Blue Peng Law Firm, responded on September 25, arguing that corporate and personal liability must be legally distinguished and that any claims of joint liability must be resolved through litigation, not public pressure. Hi-Le rejected the accusation of 'mob justice,' stating its claims are based on audit reports and bank records, and challenged the Fans to provide contracts and invoices proving the transfers were legitimate transactions. Legal experts cited in the article note that if evidence shows Fan Bingbing failed to fulfill capital contribution obligations, withdrew capital, or abused corporate independence to evade debts, she could be held personally liable.

Dongyang HiLe Film Entertainment Co., Ltd. published an open letter on September 24, 2025, demanding that Fan Bingbing and her brother Fan Chengcheng repay a 67 million yuan judgment that has remained unpaid for five years. The debt stems from a 2017 investment contract for the TV series 'The First Female Rich Man of Qin' (formerly 'The King's Woman' and 'Baqing Zhuan'), which was never aired after Fan Bingbing's 2018 tax scandal. The Beijing High People's Court ruled in 2021 that Fan's company, Wuxi Aimeishen Film Culture Co., Ltd., must repay the principal and guaranteed returns. HiLe Film alleges that Aimeishen transferred over 200 million yuan to Fan's personal studios and Fan Chengcheng's studio between 2018 and 2024, potentially to evade the debt. Aimeishen has since entered bankruptcy liquidation, with only 22.03 yuan in assets available for creditors. Fan Bingbing's lawyer, Beijing Bluepeng Law Firm, responded that corporate and personal liability should be legally distinguished and that the public letter constitutes improper pressure on the judiciary. HiLe Film rejects this characterization, stating its claims are based on audit reports and bank records, and demands that Fan's side provide contracts and invoices to prove the transfers were legitimate.

HiLe Film Demands 67 Million Yuan from Fan Bingbing, Fan Chengcheng Over Unpaid Judgment
Dongyang HiLe Film Entertainment Co., Ltd., chaired by screenwriter Ning Caishen (Chen Wanning), has publicly demanded that actress Fan Bingbing and her brother Fan Chengcheng repay 67 million yuan (approximately $9.3 million) stemming from a 2021 Beijing High Court ruling. The debt originates from a 2017 investment contract for the TV series 'The First Female Rich of Qin' (also known as 'The King's Woman' or 'Ba Qing Zhuan'), which was never broadcast after Fan Bingbing's 2018 tax scandal. HiLe Film invested 60 million yuan for a 12% stake, with a guaranteed 27 million yuan return. After partial payments of 20 million yuan, the remainder went unpaid. The court ordered Fan's company, Wuxi Aimeishen Film Culture Co., Ltd., to repay the full amount plus penalties. Aimeishen has since entered bankruptcy liquidation, with only 22.03 yuan in assets against 197 million yuan in claims. HiLe Film alleges asset transfers to related parties and questions how Fan Bingbing's beauty brand generated 18 billion yuan in sales while the debt remains unpaid. Fan's legal team has denied the allegations, calling the public letter an attempt to coerce through public opinion. HiLe Film has demanded proof of legitimate transactions for the disputed transfers, threatening further legal action.
