Early life

Fan was born and raised in the coastal city of Yantai, Shandong. Her grandfather, Fan Jie, was a general in the naval air force, and her grandmother gave her the Chinese character bing, or “ice,” to honor the family’s ties to the sea.{{Cite web |date=2020-10-26 |title=罕见祖孙合照 {{!}} 网曝范冰冰祖父背景‧曾是高级将领战功显赫 - 娱乐 - 国外娱乐 - 中港台 |url=https://www.sinchew.com.my/news/20201026/entertainment/3123551 |access-date=2024-09-27 |website=星洲网 Sin Chew Daily Malaysia Latest News and Headlines |language=zh-CN}} Fan grew up watching her father, Fan Tao, a pop singer, perform at regional competitions. Her mother, Zhang Chuanmei, was a dancer and an actress.

In 1995, during her second year at high school, Fan was involved a car accident and spent three months recuperating in a hospital, where she watched the Taiwanese drama The Empress of the Dynasty, starring Angela Pan as Wu Zetian. The drama gave Fan the dream of becoming an actress. Unable to advance to her senior year due to the accident while unwilling to repeat the second year, Fan applied to a performance school, Shanghai Xie Jin-Hengtong School of Arts.{{Cite web |title=范冰冰:我遗传了妈妈的坚韧(组图)_伊人风采_新浪网 |url=http://eladies.sina.com.cn/nx/p/2005/0430/1643157643.html |access-date=2024-09-27 |website=eladies.sina.com.cn}}{{Cite web |title=第三届知名校友 |url=https://yscm.shnu.edu.cn/dsjzmxy_22475/list.htm |access-date=2024-02-24 |website=yscm.shnu.edu.cn |archive-date=26 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220426170836/http://yscm.shnu.edu.cn/dsjzmxy_22475/list.htm |url-status=live }}

Career

=1996–2006: Early work and breakthrough=

Fan debuted in the television series Powerful Woman (1997), where she met actress Leanne Liu, who recommended her for the television series My Fair Princess (1998–1999). The two seasons of costume drama, which had initially slated her for one of the major roles as Zi Wei but then assigned her for a supporting role as Zi Wei's handmaiden Jin Suo, became a runaway success and brought her recognition across the Chinese-speaking world.{{cite web |date=22 April 2003 |script-title=zh:范冰冰:刘雪华把我推荐给琼瑶 |url=http://enjoy.eastday.com/epublish/gb/paper190/5/class019000029/hwz1094971.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041224174318/http://enjoy.eastday.com/epublish/gb/paper190/5/class019000029/hwz1094971.htm |archive-date=24 December 2004 |access-date=18 May 2017 |work=eastday.com |language=zh}} After wrapping up with the shooting of the first season of My Fair Princess in 1997, at the age of 16, Fan signed with Chiung Yao, the Taiwanese writier and showrunner of My Fair Princess, for 7 years. They broke up in 1999 due to contractual disputes. Fan and her mother filed for termination with the agency, which countersued Fan for unilaterally terminating the contract and demanded a compensation fee of {{CNY|1 million|link=yes}}. Through court mediation, Fan settled the contract termination with the agency by paying {{CNY|200,000|link=yes}} in compensation.{{cite web|url=http://yule.sohu.com/20070819/n251659381.shtml|script-title=zh:范冰冰报恩邀刘雪华演创业作 曝当年本该演紫薇|date=19 August 2007|website=Sohu|language=zh|access-date=3 November 2018|archive-date=30 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200330125456/https://yule.sohu.com/20070819/n251659381.shtml|url-status=live}} In the same year, she signed a three-year contract with Jia Yun, a Chinese entrepreneur who became her confidant and was later wanted for "illegally absorbing public deposits" in 2007. Jia turned himself in in 2015.{{Cite web |title=浙江知名影视大亨投案自首 曾与范冰冰传出绯闻-中新网 |url=https://www.chinanews.com.cn/yl/2015/05-30/7310998.shtml |access-date=2025-02-14 |website=www.chinanews.com.cn}}{{Cite web |title=新浪网_生活空间_新闻报道 |url=http://eladies.sina.com.cn/tv/movie/news/movie/1999-11-11/13734.shtml |access-date=2025-02-14 |website=eladies.sina.com.cn}}

From 2001 to 2007, Fan signed with Huayi Brothers. In 2002, Fan established Huairou Fanbingbing Film & Television Art Training School and a production and publicity company, both in the charge of her mother. In 2003, Fan starred in Cell Phone, which became China's highest-grossing film of the year and earned her the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress. Fan signed an eight-year contract with Chiung Yao's company, which produced My Fair Princess. However, as the company had yet to establish any branches in mainland China, many mainland Chinese television advertising firms had to make calls to Taiwan for negotiations, resulting in a waste of time and effort. When Fan and her mother tried to contract, Chiung Yao's company asked for {{CNY|1 million|link=yes}} in compensation; eventually the court ordered Fan to pay {{CNY|200,000}} because the contract was illegal due to her age.{{cite news|script-title=zh:范冰冰曾花20万买自由 单方面与琼瑶公司解约|url=http://ent.ifeng.com/idolnews/mainland/detail_2008_01/17/31304_0.shtml|newspaper=ifeng.com|date=17 January 2008|language=zh|access-date=23 November 2012|archive-date=9 January 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150109003237/http://ent.ifeng.com/idolnews/mainland/detail_2008_01/17/31304_0.shtml|url-status=live}}

Since 2018, Fan's career has been derailed by a tax evasion scandal. On May 10, 2018, Feng Xiaogang posted on Weibo a concept poster for Cell Phone 2, a sequel to Fan's breakout film Cell Phone (2003). On May 27, former CCTV host Cui Yongyuan, who had a feud with the original film due to its alleged insinuations about his real life, posted on Weibo photos of a contract showing that Fan was paid {{CNY|10 million}}. On May 28, Cui further alleged that another actor had signed two contracts for a four-day film shoot—one for {{CNY|10 million}} and the other for {{CNY|50 million}}—pocketing a total of {{CNY|60 million}}. Due to the smaller contract's amount matching Fan's revealed contract from the previous day, many incorrectly believed Cui referred to the same person with two days' revelations and was thus accusing Fan of tax evading through the dual contracts. On May 29, Fan's studio denied the accusation of tax evasion.{{Cite news |last=Frater |first=Patrick |date=4 June 2018 |title=Fan Bingbing Contract Leak Sparks Film Industry Tax Probe in China |url=https://variety.com/2018/film/asia/fan-bingbing-contract-leak-film-industry-tax-probe-in-china-1202829069/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181011120706/https://variety.com/2018/film/asia/fan-bingbing-contract-leak-film-industry-tax-probe-in-china-1202829069/ |archive-date=11 October 2018 |access-date=12 October 2018 |work=Variety}}{{Cite news |date=12 June 2018 |title=China Movie Stars and The Two-Contract Problem |url=https://www.chinalawblog.com/2018/06/china-movie-stars-and-the-two-contract-problem.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181012135024/https://www.chinalawblog.com/2018/06/china-movie-stars-and-the-two-contract-problem.html |archive-date=12 October 2018 |access-date=12 October 2018 |work=China Law Blog}} On June 3, China's tax authorities announced that they would investigate Fan's suspected case of tax evasion in light of Cui's posts.{{cite news |date=4 June 2018 |title=China's X-Men actress Fan Bingbing denies tax evasion as inquiry launched |url=https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2149102/chinas-x-men-actress-fan-bingbing-denies-tax-evasion-accusations |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181104125849/https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2149102/chinas-x-men-actress-fan-bingbing-denies-tax-evasion-accusations |archive-date=4 November 2018 |access-date=3 November 2018 |work=South China Morning Post}}{{cite web |date=28 June 2018 |title=China Cracks Down on Celebrity Pay, Citing Tax Evasion and 'Money Worship' |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/china-cracks-down-celebrity-pay-citing-tax-evasion-money-worship-1123832 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181004055256/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/china-cracks-down-celebrity-pay-citing-tax-evasion-money-worship-1123832 |archive-date=4 October 2018 |access-date=3 November 2018 |website=The Hollywood Reporter}} Cui offered his help to the investigation, but clarified that the CN¥60 million contract did not involve Fan.

The session, reportedly arranged by Wu Tiejun, the plaza’s owner, with Fan paying Shen {{CNY|2 million}}, was raided by the police, who detained Fan, Shen, and Wu on the spot. To maintain secrecy, they covered Fan’s head, escorted her from the elevator to the parking garage, and transported her to Beijing by police car. When Fan requested to use the restroom during the transfer, officers cleared the area to prevent exposure.{{cite news |date=2018-10-05 |title=港媒披露范冰冰失踪恐怖细节 算命时被戴上头套抓走 |url=https://www.rfi.fr/cn/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD/20181005-%E6%B8%AF%E5%AA%92%E6%8A%AB%E9%9C%B2%E8%8C%83%E5%86%B0%E5%86%B0%E5%A4%B1%E8%B8%AA%E6%81%90%E6%80%96%E7%BB%86%E8%8A%82-%E7%AE%97%E5%91%BD%E6%97%B6%E8%A2%AB%E6%88%B4%E4%B8%8A%E5%A4%B4%E5%A5%97%E6%8A%93%E8%B5%B0 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200223224912/http://www.rfi.fr/cn/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD/20181005-%E6%B8%AF%E5%AA%92%E6%8A%AB%E9%9C%B2%E8%8C%83%E5%86%B0%E5%86%B0%E5%A4%B1%E8%B8%AA%E6%81%90%E6%80%96%E7%BB%86%E8%8A%82-%E7%AE%97%E5%91%BD%E6%97%B6%E8%A2%AB%E6%88%B4%E4%B8%8A%E5%A4%B4%E5%A5%97%E6%8A%93%E8%B5%B0 |archive-date=2020-02-23 |accessdate=2021-02-21 |work=RFI - 法国国际广播电台 |language=zh-Hans |url-status=live}} In 2021, the WeChat official account “Defenders,” a society of defense lawyers, disclosed that Shen, the “Little Immortal” arrested alongside Fan, had been sentenced to 12 years in prison.{{Cite web |last=黄海志 |title=辩护人Defenders丨岁末回首:刑辩如逆旅 我亦是行人 |url=https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/QDTK4EA2Yb_7ZHqE_Wjo4g |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240909035701/https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/QDTK4EA2Yb_7ZHqE_Wjo4g |archive-date=2024-09-09 |access-date=2024-09-09 |website=微信公众平台 |url-status=live}}

In the two years following her tax scandal until the end of 2020, Fan filed over 200 infringement lawsuits in China, the majority of which she won. Some defendants, after losing their cases, appealed for a second trial, claiming that as a scandal-hit public figure, her image no longer held commercial value.

In April 2021, following Chinese actress Zheng Shuang’s tax scandal, a Weibo user posted in defense of Fan: “I hope the authorities will release the full list of those who contributed to the 11.7 billion yuan in back taxes after Fan Bingbing’s case. Don’t single someone out and crush them completely—publish the entire list and rectify the issue systemically. Stop using the salary cap policy as a smokescreen to fool the audience. I believe exorbitant pay is a systemic issue, and solving it would be truly commendable.” Fan liked the post in Weibo but later unliked it and posted: “This world has never been fair.
