The "high remuneration" of domestic entertainment stars is nothing new, but the two recent "hot searches" have once again made people lament how easy it is for domestic entertainment stars to make money.
The first hot search was about the news that the film and television company's lawsuit against Jiang Jinfu was dismissed. According to the data, a TV series "Mi Lulu's Courtship" filmed by Jiang Jinfu 6 years ago has been unable to be performed due to rumors of domestic violence against his girlfriend.
In this information, as the male lead, Jiang Jinfu’s high salary of 69.15 million yuan has become the most concerned thing among netizens. Although Jiang Jinfu played the leading male role, you have to remember that that was 6 years ago. At that time, Jiang Jinfu was far from being considered an actor with the highest domestic entertainment status and traffic. It is conceivable how much the salaries of those popular first-line actors at that time were Outrageous.
After looking at Jiang Jinfu’s example, maybe everyone can understand why Yang Ying said that she was worth 80 million yuan in salary.
Later, the official issued a "salary limit order". Feng Yongzheng said that he felt that limiting the salaries of stars was not a bad thing.
But even after the "salary limit order", the salaries of domestic entertainment stars are still "unattainable". For example, Huang Lei's salary for starring in "Little Farewell" was 23.1 million yuan, which had risen to 36 million yuan when starring in "Little Joy". In addition, he can also serve as art director, producer and other positions in the drama, and he can win all of them in one drama. Got more than 60 million.
The "market" for domestic entertainment artists is so high. No wonder some female artists say that they can't live on a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, so they might as well work part-time.
The second hot search on the same day was about the news that Hong Kong star Charmaine Sheh spent 30 million to buy a luxury house in Hong Kong. The media reported it extensively and used the word "spend", but in fact the 30 million was spent on domestic entertainment stars. It can be said to be "insignificant". Jiang Jinfu can buy two sets for one movie, but for a star in the Hong Kong circle, it is a "huge sum".
It is rumored that when Charmaine Sheh was filming the hit drama "News Queen", it was revealed that her salary was only about 2 million, and she was the lead female character, but in domestic entertainment her net worth was not even that of a top-tier artist.
But Charmaine Sheh came to the mainland to film a few movies before, and it was revealed that she could get paid 600,000 yuan per episode. Calculating this, one movie would cost at least 10 million yuan, which is a full 10 times higher than in Hong Kong.
There was also a rumor about the remuneration of TVB artists. The remuneration of first-line artists such as Charmaine Sheh, Kwok Jinan, and Deng Cuiwen is less than 100,000 yuan per episode, which is completely incomparable with the remuneration of one million episodes of domestic entertainment.
In the Hong Kong circle, this is still the case for first-line artists, and the remuneration of supporting actors cannot be compared with that of domestic entertainment. A TVB supporting actor once said that the money he earned in the mainland was twice as much as when TVB was at its peak.
Artists like Wong Cho Lam, who are doing well both in Hong Kong and the Mainland, bluntly said that the money they make in the Mainland is "n times" that in the Hong Kong circle, which is too much to count.
Not only does the income of Hong Kong stars double after coming to the mainland, but the income of Taiwanese artists after coming to the mainland increases significantly. Previously, a table comparing the net worth of Taiwanese artists after coming to the mainland was circulated, almost all of them increased five or six times.
Das said many years ago that taking a job in the Mainland is equivalent to taking on four or five jobs in Taiwan.
It’s no wonder that many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists have come to the mainland in recent years to develop their careers. Even if they don’t film and participate in variety shows, they can earn much higher income than ordinary people by going to commercial performances and live broadcasts.
For example, veteran Hong Kong star Huang Yishan planned to do live broadcasts in the Mainland at the end of last year. He said that he would only do two live broadcasts a week and rest for the other five days, and he could earn 2 million yuan in a year.
It is difficult for most ordinary families to earn an income of 2 million yuan even if they work 300 days a year, but in domestic entertainment, celebrities can easily earn it.
"has-been Hong Kong stars" like Huang Yishan and Yuan Qiongdan have no worries about not having a chance to come to the mainland, but if they are "has-been" stars, there are few "outlets" in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
For example, not long ago, the 40-year-old Hong Kong star Ng Haokang was photographed by the media going to a construction site to build a tent.Working 9 hours a day, I earn NT$1,500 a day, working 20 days a month, I still have NT$30,000 a month, but this income is actually not high in Hong Kong, a city with high consumption.
The income of domestic entertainment stars not only makes ordinary people sigh, but even Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are beyond their reach.
