Forbes ranked Fan Bingbing as the world’s fifth highest-paid actress in 2016







China’s authorities say they are capping the pay of actors as part of a move to crack down on tax evasion and “money worship” in the industry.





Actors in Chinese films and TV programmes will have their pay capped at 40% of total production costs.

Meanwhile, lead actors cannot be paid more than 70% of total cast pay, the government says.





It comes after a debate on celebrity pay, and allegations of tax evasion in the film industry.
