After the Taiwan media announced the 2021 Annual Income Chart of Taiwanese Singers, the annual income ranking of Taiwanese actors was announced. In these two lists, the top five artists have a lot in common, that is, the focus of development is almost all in the mainland market, in other words, if they only rely on the workload of Taiwan, it is difficult for their income to be superimposed to a new height. This shows two things, one is that although the mainland market has also been affected by the epidemic, it has recovered rapidly, and the other is that no matter what kind of artists are now, if you want to demand good development, you can't do without the mainland market.
However, after comparing the income list of singers and actors, it is found that the income of actors seems to be inferior to that of singers. Jolin Tsai, the lowest income among the top five singers, also has a total income of nearly NT$100 million, but Zhao Youting, the highest income among the actors, has a personal income of only close to NT$90 million, while Chen Yanxi, who ranks fifth, has an annual income of only NT$28 million (about 6.42 million yuan), which is not only the income disparity between singers and actors, but also the income disparity between actors and actors. After further comparison, it was found that whether there is endorsement is the key to determining the level of income, even if the filming remuneration is not low, it is impossible to shoot all the time, especially under the epidemic, many actors choose to stay in Taiwan, which is equivalent to the same as if on holiday, the income is naturally difficult to improve.
The highest-paid Taiwanese actor in 2021 is Zhao Youting, compared with the income of NT$129 million in 2020, his personal income has decreased significantly this year, about only NT$87.27 million (about 20 million yuan), because Zhao Youting did not shoot new works this year, relying on endorsements and supporting personal income on variety shows.
Zhao Youting has a TV series "Ideal City" broadcast in 2021, but this is a work shot in 2020, which naturally cannot be counted in the income of 2021. Throughout 2021, Zhao Youting's source of income lies in endorsing advertisements for watches, home appliances, and wine, and also participated in the variety show "The Last Winner", which earned NT$34.71 million and the final total income of NT$87.27 million. Although the income is not as good as last year, Zhao Youting does not lack market at all, his reputation and popularity in the mainland are very good, as long as he is willing, the workload will inevitably be continuous.
Zhang Junning, who also maintains a good relationship with the mainland, has made her ranked second in the year by relying on her personal income in 2021. Zhang Junning was active in Taiwan in the first half of 2021, and only went to the mainland to work in the second half of the year, and the comparison (price) between the two markets was immediate.
In the first half of the year, Zhang Junning made a movie in Taiwan, earned only NT$2 million (about 450,000 yuan), and participated in two episodes of Taiwan variety shows, about 7 million (about 1.6 million yuan) of Taiwan dollars, and the total income was 2 million yuan. In the second half of the year, Zhang Junning returned to the mainland to work, took over a new film, served as a brand ambassador for Chanel, and easily got NT$45 million (about 10 million yuan), which is no wonder that capable Taiwanese actors have to develop to the mainland, and the remuneration treatment is fundamentally different. In the end, Zhang Junning ranked second in the year with revenue of NT$84 million.
Yan Chengxu became the third artist on the annual list. The media positioned Yan Chengxu as an actor, because Yan Chengxu has not sung for many years, and the main source of his income in 2021 is also in the mainland, and the "Brother who Cut through thorns" has become the favored object of advertisers, relying on the business opportunities brought by this show, the income is as high as NT$41.65 million. In addition, there are advertisements and endorsements, with a total income of NT$63.51 million (about 14 million yuan). The media also made a special comparison with Zhou Yumin, who is also from F4 - Zhou Yumin has also been working in the mainland over the years, but he has not been on the list, which does not mean that his income is not good, because he is relatively low-key in 2021 and has not taken much work.
Xu Ruoxuan appeared on the list and ranked 4th, surprising many people. In fact, Xu Ruoxuan is very industrious in 2021, and her income depends entirely on endorsements - 11 endorsements in one go, these products are not limited to Taiwan, but also include the mainland, Macao, etc., and there are many kinds, which are completely won by quantity. In the end, the biggest source of income for artists nowadays still relies on endorsements, whether it is filming or singing, these are laying out to further build personal popularity, in order to attract more endorsements to find the door.
The fifth actor on the list is Chen Yanxi, Chen Yanxi's biggest action in 2021 is to participate in "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves 2", although she only participated in the 7 episodes of the show, but it is enough to make her advance to the top five. According to media calculations, her income brought by "Sister Lang" is NT$24.49 million, and her personal annual income is NT$28 million. It is conceivable how lucrative a job in the mainland can bring to these Taiwanese actors. On the other hand, if you only rely on the income of Taiwan, these actors can not be on the list at all, such as Yang Youning, who has been in Taiwan all year, and the workload is not a lot, but the income is not coming, so it cannot enter the list.
