The 27 year-old has appeared in around 60 commercial shows this year, commanding an average fee of 800,000 yuan per show. A further 600,000 million yuan came from her starring role in the 2011 movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" directed by Hong Kong new wave director Tsui Hark. She has also picked up several lucrative advertising contracts and is the face of Chinese online apparel brand VANCL.
Mainland stars occupy five places in the 2011 list of top 10 richest young Chinese entertainers, compared with three in 2010. The three new entries on this year's list are actress Yang Mi at number 4, singer Han Geng at number 7 and actress Wang Luodan at number 9.
