Surprised to hear that Forbes recently released the list of the world's highest-paid female celebrities in the year from June 1, 2018 to June 1, 2019, curious about which female stars are the little money-making experts, the newspaper girls quickly watched from the front row.

Although I will never have so many numbers in my account, it is always okay to take a look!
First look at this list for everyone to feel the gold absorption ability of the big guys:
1. Scarlett Johansson: $56 million
2. Sophia Vergara: $44.1 million
3. Reese Witherspoon: $35 million
4. Nicole Kidman: $34 million
5. Jennifer Aniston: $28 million
6. Carly Coco: $25 million
7. Elizabeth Moss: $24 million
8. Margot Robbie: $23.5 million
9. Charlize Theron: $23 million
10. Alan Pompeii: $22 million
According to Forbes, the statistics of these amounts are based on data from platforms and agencies such as Nielsen, comscore, box office mojo and imdb, as well as interviews with industry insiders.
And these incomes are pre-tax income, and the fees of agents, managers and lawyers (usually 10%, 15% and 5%, respectively) are also not deductible.
From this list, we can see that Scarlett johansson, with 56 million US dollars (about 390 million yuan), has become the world's highest-paid female star.

A lot of this money comes from Marvel. "Avengers: Endgame," which grossed $2.8 billion, brought Scarlett $35 million.
The "Black Widow" independent film, which will be released next year, is also paid eight figures.

The beautiful and touching Black Widow she created in the Marvel world, who dared to love and dare to hate, further shaped her and helped her reach the top again.
That's right, this isn't the first time Scarlett has won first, last year, Scarlett topped the list with $40.5 million (about 278 million yuan) of annual pre-tax revenue.
But it's worth noting that the 10 highest-grossing actresses in the world this year have $314.6 million in total pre-tax revenue, a 69 percent increase from last year's cumulative figures.
Among them, the second and third are Sophia Vergara, who starred in "Modern Family".
and Represents Reese Witherspoon as a film such as "Legally Beautiful Woman", "Moving Forward", "Out of the Wilderness" and so on.
In addition, there are Pan Xiaohua Carey Kuko in "The Big Bang Theory", Elizabeth Moss in "The Handmaid's Tale", and Margot Robbie in "Suicide Squad" and other youth representatives.
There are also our ageless goddesses Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, "Friends" and "Grey's Anatomy" actor Alan Ponpai and other senior celebrities.
The newspaper sister found that most of the top female stars with incomes are more than 30 years old, and there are also many middle-aged female stars, which is a happy thing.
After all, the topic of middle-aged actresses having no drama to shoot and living space being squeezed and marginalized has attracted great attention, and many people have paid attention to the difficulties and bottlenecks encountered by middle-aged actresses at home and abroad, and this industry phenomenon is real and needs to be improved.
Therefore, when we found that there are still many people among them, who still have super gold absorption ability and vitality in the industry, it is undoubtedly full of respect.

But at the same time, we should also see that Forbes listed the top ten female celebrities in the world, as well as the top ten male celebrities with the highest incomes.
Then we found out that Dwayne Johnson earned $89.4 million, Thor Chris Hemsworth was $76.4 million, Andrott Downey Jr. was $66 million... It wasn't until the eighth place in the male star, the AMERICAN team Chris Evans, that he earned less than Scarlett with $43.5 million.
The world's highest-paid female star, put into the male star's income list only ranked eighth, and more than 33 million US dollars less than the first place in male celebrities, replaced by more than two hundred million yuan, this number, had to make people jaw-dropping.
The total revenue of these female celebrities is $314.6 million, which is still an increase compared to previous years, and is still far below the total number of male stars of $588.3 million.
Whether it is to see the individual or focus on the overall market, these first-line female stars still earn far less than male celebrities.
Why?
BBC reported that in Europe and the United States, there are several major reasons for income disparities.
First, there are fewer female roles as a whole, and in the case of more needs than demand, it is difficult to refuse because the income is lower than that of male stars, because either you pick up or others pick up.

At the same time, the importance and proportion of these roles are also lower than those of male actors.
Second, the scope of women's role allocation is narrower. For example, society will set limits because of age, beautiful women as vases, contribute nudity scenes, such as old age can not play sexy roles.
There will also be restrictions on female identity, for example, when the director needs the audience to pay attention to the character itself, and needs a neutral symbol to explain the role, they will feel that men will not interfere and cause out-of-focus. But if it is a woman, it will make people want to pay attention to whether she has children, what her private life is like, and so on.
Moreover, the discrimination that actresses play in their daily lives, such as nurses and chairmen, will also be reflected in the roles that actresses receive.
Not only in Europe and the United States, but also in China is a similar situation.
Previously, when Haiqing spoke on behalf of the actress and caused controversy, some netizens proposed that the plight of the actress was real. She pointed out that Chinese commercial films seem to have become a purely male market.

The TV drama industry, where big male dramas are prevalent, and the music circle that lacks a new generation of female musicians, are also difficult to be spared.
We don't lack good actresses, what we lack is one more role, one more good script, one more platform, and, one more audience expectation.
Blindly pandering to the market and audience creates an unhealthy environment that reinforces the framework for inequality for women.
Are Hollywood stars really far from us?
Perhaps, the treatment of these actresses is also a true interpretation of the treatment of female workers in the whole society?
