CCSmart released their rankings for most valuable stars of the year and it seems Zhao Liying and Li Yi Feng are still benefiting from the success of their drama last year. If I were to guess this list probably compiles data from the second half of 2016 and the first half of 2017. CCSmart looks at various things including box office, ratings, online views, fan base, and media attention.
