1. As we all know, the entertainment industry is a place that seems to be prosperous and bright, but in fact there are undercurrents. The huge remuneration enjoyed by those seemingly glamorous stars in front of the screen is undoubtedly a luxury that many ordinary people dream of.
However, behind this staggering figure, there are many controversies and doubts.
The extravagant and high-paid life of celebrities is undoubtedly a dream that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. The sky-high salary of hundreds of millions of yuan is enough for people to earn enough wealth for several generations to enjoy.
However, behind these jaw-dropping figures, there are also countless criticisms and doubts.
There is no doubt that high salaries are a symbol of star status, highlighting their outstanding talent and strong box office appeal. However, the question is, are these high salaries really equivalent to the superb acting skills of the stars? I believe that most viewers will give a negative answer.
In fact, in this unpredictable entertainment industry, too much hype and manipulation have enabled many stars who are not outstanding in acting skills to ascend to the throne of high salaries.
They either rely on the powerful for resources, or they rely on the support of well-known directors to get earth-shaking opportunities.
Today, let's reveal the secrets of six popular actresses with a salary of more than 100 million, and explore whether their acting skills can really match such a high salary. Who deserves to be the name and who is the show?
2. Recalling Zhou Xun's acting career
When the name Zhou Xun is mentioned, everyone must have a sense of admiration in their hearts. She is like an indestructible monument in the Chinese film industry, always standing tall and glorious.
However, back in 2000, Zhou Xun already had a sky-high salary at that time. In that era, the salary of a film and television work could exceed 10 million yuan, which was already sky-high, but Zhou Xun successfully achieved this feat.
As a powerful actor, her salary is completely based on the high praise she has won both inside and outside the industry for her excellent acting skills and professionalism.
With the passage of time, the advent of countless excellent works has made Zhou Xun's status in the hearts of the audience more and more lofty, unparalleled. Even in the controversial "The Legend of Ruyi", despite the significant difference between her role and her real age, her superb acting skills still amazed audiences.
The salary is unusually high as 90 million, which is undoubtedly an unattainable astronomical amount for the public, but for Zhou Xun, a powerful actress, this huge salary is well deserved.
It is precisely because of her firm belief in her acting career and her deep awe and love for her career as an actor that she has climbed step by step to reach the peak of art, and naturally won an eye-catching high salary.
3. The rise of the two actresses, Yang Ying and Yang Mi
However, not all stars who enjoy high salaries can win widespread recognition for themselves with their superb acting skills like Zhou Xun. For example, Yang Ying and Yang Mi, their high salaries have attracted many doubts.
Back in the time when Yang Ying first got involved in the entertainment industry, she was just a little-known small character, with no popularity at all, let alone a soaring value. However, the god of fate quietly changed the trajectory of her life at this time, so that she was fortunate to meet Huang Xiaoming, a hot actor at that time.
As a result, Yang Ying quickly grasped Huang Xiaoming's life-saving straw, and various opportunities and resources came one after another. In an instant, she changed from a small role that no one cared about to become a high-profile first-line star, and her salary was as high as 80 million.
However, her disastrous acting skills really can't match this high salary. The movements are stiff, the expressions are exaggerated, and the words and deeds are pretentious, and the audience can't help but complain "What are you pretending to?" during the viewing process, and some people even mocked her mercilessly for her "embarrassing acting".
In the face of such a situation, do you think that Yang Ying will reflect and realize her own shortcomings? However, the fact is that instead of realizing the problem, she is full of confidence in her performance and firmly believes that she is worthy of the sky-high salary of 80 million.
It's really puzzling, where does her confidence come from?
Another controversial actress is Yang Mi, who is known as the "desperate Sanniang". In order to reach this gambling agreement, Yang Mi is like a tired sow who is intoxicated with work, and devotes herself to the shooting of film and television works one after another almost around the clock, even during pregnancy.
After two years of unremitting efforts, Yang Mi finally successfully completed the agreement, and his worth also rose. For example, in the TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", her salary for a single episode is as high as 1.8 million yuan.
Fourth, return to reality and take stock of today's hot and powerful actors
After the vicissitudes of the entertainment industry, we may be able to understand that those who really rely on their strength to win today's brilliant achievements can get the high salary they deserve.
For example, Zhang Ziyi, a well-deserved international superstar, is like a bright star piercing the night sky with her indomitable and in full swing acting road. Looking back at her rise to prominence in 1998 with the film "My Father and Mother", she has successfully become a rising star in the film industry and quickly made a name for herself on the world stage.
After that, she and Gong Li co-starred in the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha", which caused a sensation around the world, and the two leading actors also received numerous praises. After years of hard work, it finally ushered in the harvest season in 2014, and Zhang Ziyi won more than ten actress awards in one fell swoop, which is well deserved! .
Full of honors and increasing strength, Zhang Ziyi's salary has also soared, breaking through the jaw-dropping 10 million yuan mark as early as 2013. Although the audience has different opinions about her salary, no one will question her strength and value.
In addition, we can't ignore Zhou Dongyu, who has transformed from a girl to a queen. Her starting point can be described as unstoppable, and she became famous in 2010 with the movie "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", but some subsequent controversial works put her in the predicament of questioning her acting skills.
However, even in the face of these challenges, her salary can still reach a staggering 100 million yuan, which shows that her commercial value is still in the spotlight.
Part 5: Another parallel line - Zhang Yimou praises Ni Ni
In today's entertainment industry, if an actor wants to get a high salary, it is obviously far from enough to rely on his personal acting skills, and more often he needs to rely on the full support and support of authoritative masters.
Take Ni Ni as an example, it is with the strong support of the famous director Zhang Yimou that she was able to stand out.
At first, Ni Ni was just an unknown small character, and even she herself never expected that one day she would become the center of attention. Until 2011, when Zhang Yimou directed the movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", he had a discerning eye and chose her as the heroine of the film.
As a result, Ni Ni became an instant hit, and her outstanding performance in the film won warm applause from the audience. People began to really recognize her acting strength, and her value also rose and continued to rise.
Soon after, she received a sky-high salary from the crew of the TV series "Tiansheng Long Song" - a full 100 million yuan.
There is no doubt that in the recent high-profile hit drama "Golden Years", Ni Ni, as the starring role, will be in the pocket with a high salary. Today, she has the shining halo of "Mou Girl" on her head, no matter which film and television work she is in, she is worthy of the respected status of "First Sister", which can be described as extremely rich in resources.
However, it is obviously not enough to rely only on the advantages of the film and television field, and in recent years, Ni Ni has become a new star in the fashion industry with her own unique charm! Various large fashion brands have come to invite her to be an image ambassador, and its high commercial value is breathtaking.
With the support of many fashion giants, Ni Ni's worth is already immeasurable.
Looking back on these six actresses with a salary of more than 100 million, it is not difficult for us to find that there are indeed many powerful representatives who have won today's glory with their own strength, such as Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, etc.
However, it is also impossible to ignore the fact that there are also some cases of luck and behind-the-scenes operations that have made huge profits.
As the audience, we all sincerely hope that the stars can repay the public's love with their superb acting skills. After all, such a high salary is not easy to obtain, it embodies the hard work and sweat of countless people in the entire industry.
We sincerely call on all popular stars to bear in mind artistic ethics, uphold professionalism, and steadily move forward for the film and television industry, creating more shocking characters.
Only in this way can they truly deserve the level of remuneration and win the sincere admiration of the audience. Let's look forward to the birth of more excellent actors and masterpieces!
