Just after the 68th Emmy Awards, Forbes announced the world's highest-paid TV series actor and actress list. I have written the Forbes Top 100 Celebrity Income List and the Global Female Celebrity Income List (click the blue word to see the push), but see the list of TV series, I think it is still quite interesting, and I will talk to you today.
Forbes ranked the top 15 actors and actresses in TV series from June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2016, and Jim Parsons of "The Big Bang Theory" ranked first in the earnings of male actors with $25 million.
Sofia Vergara of Modern Family ranked first among actresses with $43 million in revenue.
In general, the salaries of big TV stations are much bigger!
CBS's "The Big Bang Theory" in addition to Shear, Johnny Galecki ranked second on the actor list with $24 million, third-place Simon Helberg at $22.5 million and kunal Nayyar at $22 million in fourth place.
Fat Kaley Cuoco ranked second in earnings for actresses with $24.5 million.
"Naval Crime Investigation (NCIS)" Mark Harmon came in fifth with $20 million, and Michael Weatherly, who plays Tony, made the list for the first time, ranking 13 with $10 million.
Pauley Perrette ranked 11th among actresses for $9.5 million.
Also cbs produced "The Proud Wife", the heroine Julianna Margulies ranked ninth with $10.5 million.
(Don't you recognize it?) This figure is so good-looking! ）
Meanwhile, "The Big Bang Theory" and "NCIS" are the only two TV series in the past year that have a viewership population of more than 20 million, with the Big Bang being watched by 20.4 million people and the NCIS with 20.2 million viewers. In the overall ratings, the ranking is also very strong, the big bang champion, sandwiched in the middle of the Super Bowl (Super Bowl), NCIS third.
So, it's too normal for the lead actors to earn so much!
ABC's Modern Family ranked 12th with $11 million in addition to Gloria, Eric Stonestreet; Ed O'Neill at $11.5 million; Jesse Tyler Ferguson tied for seventh at $12 million; and Ty Burrell at $12.5 million in sixth place.
Julie Bowen ranked tenth among actresses with $10 million.
Ellen Pompeo, the veteran star of "Grey the Intern," ranked fourth among actresses with $14.5 million.
Alex Karev's character Justin Chambers made the list for the first time with $9.5 million, ranking 15th.
Castle, Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, both made $12 million and are also ranked seventh on the male and female actor list.
"Quantico", which only started broadcasting last year, entered the list for the first time in India! beauty! person! Priyanka Chopra came in eighth with annual revenue of $11 million.
Fox TV has three. "X File" David Duchovney ranked 14th for $10 million.
Emily Deschanel, the star of "Bone Quest," ranked 13th among the actresses for $7.5 million.
"New Girl's Zooey Deschanel" ranked $15 for $7 million.
Others include Netflix's House of Cards Shimoki President Kevin Spacey ranked 12th among male actors with a revenue of $10.5 million.
Hulu TV's "The Mindy Project" actress Mindy Kaling for $15 million, the third actress.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus of HBO's Vice President (Veep) tied for $7.5 million for $13.
NBC's Law and Order, Mariska Hargitay tied for fifth place with $14.5 million.
Although the broadcast time span varies greatly, the impact of the episodes on the list in the minds of American audiences is very far-reaching, such as the two cats of the Mold Family, named Dr. Meredith Grey and Detective Olivia Benson, the female characters from Grey The Intern and Law & Order, respectively, hahahahahaha.
The 15 male actors on this year's list together earn $225 million, and the 15 actresses earn $208.5 million, overall, the gap is much smaller than that of film actors, and the top three male actors of film actors earn close to the total income of the top ten actresses.
How is this done? A big reason is because the cast and crew will hold a group to negotiate with the TV station, and everyone will rise together. The three lead actors of "The Big Bang Theory" were paid 200,000 per episode for 10 years, rising to $1 million in 14 years; the salary of the "Modern Family" star rose from 65,000 to $350,000 per episode.
Fight the lawsuit together! Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, the male and female protagonists of "Bone Hunt", took Fox TV to court last November, arguing that the TV station paid at least $10 million less for its profit share, and that the lawsuit is still in the arbitration stage, and if it is won, the income will be higher next year!
Bone Sister mighty!
Although the same strategy has narrowed the income gap between male and female actors, there is also a difference in the distribution of roles, according to Entertainment Weekly, the proportion of female characters with lines in American dramas is less than 40% - having lines means an increase in workload and salary, and it is this imbalance that also leads to the difference in pay between men and women.
Mindy, who ranks third in the earnings of actresses, said: For many years, sitcom actresses only had to do two things, first, look fabulous; second, balance and gender ratio of male protagonists. So I always put the ugly words ahead: I will always shine, but no actor I work with can earn more than me!
In addition to TV drama performances, endorsement income is also a large piece, which is very similar to movie actresses, Sofia's income has increased by 66% compared with last year, mainly because advertisers love her too much!
In addition to TV dramas, everyone has developed in other fields, and Mark Harmon is not only the star of "NCSI", but also the executive producer.
Crooked building, Grandpa Mark was super handsome when he was young! In 1986, he was voted the sexiest male star of the year by People magazine!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is also an executive producer for Vice President; Shea and her friends co-founded a production company; Sofia also has an agency.
Kunal Nayyar's autobiography Yes, My Accent Is Real, sold very well.
Mindy Kaling and "Office" co-actor BJ Novak received a $7 million upfront payment for an upcoming collection of articles, and "Disgust" was also voiced by her.
Simon Helberg's film Florence Foster Jenkins was co-starred with Aunt May and Hugh Grant.
In addition to Cam of Modern Family, Eric Stonestreet also starred in HBO's TV movie Confirmation. The story is based on a famous 1991 hearing in which Anita Hills, a black woman, sued her boss, Clarence Thomas, for sexual harassment, and Eric played Ken Duberstein, the cook of American poet President Ronald Reagan from 1988 to 1989.
I haven't seen it yet, but word of mouth is not bad, Rotten Tomatoes 80%, Washington Sister nominated for this year's Emmy Award for miniseries/TV movie actress.
Speaking of drama, Jesse Tyler Ferguson also starred in the Broadway monodrama "Fully Committed" this spring and summer.
What touched me most about the TV actor list is that the shortlisted actors and actresses are generally middle-aged, and there are very few young people who become popular. Among the actors, the oldest actor, Ed O'Neill, is 70 years old and the youngest is Kunal Nayyar at 35.
The average age of the actress is also over 40 years old, the youngest is Fat Ni 31 years old. However, she debuted in 1995, and she has played countless soy sauces in between.
Jim Parsons, who won four Emmy Awards, first acted in drama when he first arrived in New York, and he was already quite grateful!
Prior to The Big Bang Theory, he auditioned for nearly 30 lead episodes of the TV series, but many of them were yellow because they couldn't find a TV station.
Ellen Pompeo is also, once played the secretary of Ben Afu in "Night Devil", and as a result, the role was basically deleted when it was released, and he met "Grey the Intern" who starred for the first time at the age of 35.
Ty Burrell had even considered switching careers before Modern Family. (Click the blue word to see the push)
The second youngest actress, 34-year-old Indian beauty Priyanka Chopra, last week's Emmy Awards ceremony, Jitterson and she are said to be quite called, even if the award is awarded together, but also turn around Ah Just!
However, Indian girls are very traditional and completely unacceptable to American dating culture. She said that I never dated, and if I liked anyone, I would think clearly about it and get involved with him later.
Chopra moved from India to the United States to study at the age of 13 and won the Miss India championship at the age of 18, but when she first arrived in the United States, she was bullied because of her Indian nationality. She said, I was stupid and not confident, but I worked very, very hard, which is why I am where I am today.
This year she joined Boulder's new film, Baywatch.
It is the adaptation of the TV series of the same name that began broadcasting in 1989, it was not only the highest-rated American drama in history at that time, but also the love of Joey and Chandler in "Friends" and straight men in the United States.
For example, Cam of "Modern Family" likes to play the clown Fizbo, which is actually a character that Stonestreet has conceived of himself since he was a child, and when he was 11 years old, he dressed up as Fizbo to perform at the birthday party of The Little Pot Friend.
He recalls that I don't know how the name Fizbo came up with, but I always believed that I would put him on my business card in the future.
Well, long-term persistence and tempering have always been a compulsory course for good actors.
[Love Rice Grain Talk]
In particular, even if it is not in the income list, it does not mean that the income is low or the reputation of the work is poor. For example, "American Crime Story", which won three actor awards at today's Emmy Awards, and "American Horror Story" and "Ice Storm", which are limited dramas with 10 episodes in one season, generally do not exceed ordinary episodes.
But basically prime-time TV series starring in tens of thousands of dollars per episode, plus Broadway performances, other cameos, behind-the-scenes work, advertising endorsements, etc., even if you can't live a fancy life, the income is good.
Like the pair michael Emerson and Carrie Preston in "Suspect Tracking" that I introduced earlier, they never made the list, especially acting, and life is super sweet. (Click on the underlined text to see the push)
Think of the domestic traffic of small students and small flowers, thirty years old less than and face paralysis acting skills, but the film remuneration is often tens of millions of levels. If you go abroad, you will be laughed at by your international counterparts.
That's it today, we'll see you tomorrow!
