According to a report from Hong Kong-based celebrity site, Jaynestars.com, internationally-recognized actress Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, who stars in the "Red Sorghum" TV series, and "Dearest" star Zhao Wei are the highest-paid Chinese actresses in the country - with each earning 15 million yuan per movie, or nearly 2.5 million U.S. dollars.
Following close behind is renowned actress and "Coming Home" star Gong Li, who pockets 12 million yuan per shoot.
Actresses Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Shu Qi and Bai Baihe reportedly earn between eight and 10 million yuan per film.
Some are questioning how accurately the list reflects the actresses earnings, however, since actors and actresses negotiate fees based on screen-time and the type of roles in which they are cast.
