On the evening of April 22, Fan Bingbing surprised everyone when she attended a public media event in Beijing. This was the first time the “Legend of Wu Zetian” beauty officially returned to showbiz after the tax evasion scandal that broke out nearly a year ago.
 |
| Fan Bingbing shared photos attending the 9th anniversary gala of iQiyi - one of the online video platforms based in Beijing. |
 |
| This is her first time returning to showbiz after the tax evasion scandal. Previously, during the recent opening of her own beauty salon, "Kim Toa" stayed behind the scenes, not appearing in front of the press or media. |
 |
| The Pham family takes this comeback very seriously. Most obvious is the designer outfit she wears, including Alexander McQueen clothes, DeBeers jewelry, and an LV bag from the Spring-Summer 2019 collection. |
 |
| Her elegant and luxurious outfits and makeup helped her somewhat reduce the negative feelings of her fans. Pham Bang Bang received a lot of compliments about her goddess-like face and body. |
 |
| The tax evasion scandal that broke out last May not only resulted in her being fined nearly130 million USD, but also seriously affected the reputation and prestige of the 8x beauty. |
 |
| In the past 11 months, she has hardly appeared in public. The paparazzi have only occasionally caught glimpses of her. There have been many times when it was announced that Fan Bingbing would return to showbiz, but she was immediately met with opposition from the public. |
 |
| This comeback is said to show support for her younger brother Pham Thua Thua. It is known that iQiyi is the organizer of the Idol Producer competition in which Pham Thua Thua participated. At the event on the evening of April 22, Pham Bang Bang also took a photo with Ms. Do Hoa (polka dot shirt), general director of Yuehua Entertainment Company - where her younger brother signed a management contract. |
 |
| Of course, besides the compliments, many netizens also sarcastically criticized Pham Bang Bang. |
 |
| The 8x actress still has a long way to go to regain the trust of fans. |
