JAKARTA - Long time no sound, Fan Bingbing artist reportedly will return to play in the latest drama produced by Youku entitled Win the World. His name has not appeared in public since the tax evasion case two years ago.

In 2018, his name was said to have deliberately played down the contract value to play in a drama in order to avoid paying large amounts of taxes. After not appearing on social media for months, Fan Bingbing appeared and apologized for his actions. After this issue, a negative stigma stuck to him.

This top Chinese star has penetrated the Hollywood market. He starred in a number of international films, including Iron Man 3 and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Since then, he has never been seen taking on drama or film projects.

But this time, Win the World will be Fan Bingbing's comeback in the television series. This drama has gone through the production process in 2018 and will be broadcast on one of the television channels.

Reporting from Variety, Friday, May 29, this drama is called the most expensive budget series ever made, which is 70 million US dollars. In 2019, this drama was said to be replacing the two main characters; Fan Bingbing and Gao Yunxiang.

Gao Yunxiang, the actor who became Fan Bingbing's partner was arrested in Australia on charges of sexually harassing a woman in 2018. At that time, Gao Yunxiang was shooting for the television series Love in Aranya. Despite being declared innocent, the public's view of Gao Yunxiang remains negative.

Although not yet fully back, Fan Bingbing is confirmed to also play in the film 355, The Perfect Blue, and The King's Daughter which will air next year. Meanwhile, Gao Yunxiang, has never appeared before the public after the case he is facing.

Win the World itself tells of the life of Ba Qing, the richest woman in the Qin dynasty. He made a number of changes and is known to fund the construction of the Great Wall of China.
