Yesterday, mainland China released a ‘Chinese Artists Commercial Value Report’. This report is based on public reputation, trust and expectations. The total statistical data contained 379,879 samples. The results were released and ‘old King’ Andy Lau was 92.47%, beating ‘new King’ Jay Chou and ‘big brother’ Jackie Chan, taking first place.

Among the artists, who is the ‘most valuable star’ in the eyes of the public? Surprisingly, survey results revealed that ‘old King’ Andy Lau took first place with 92.47%, and has become the artist with the highest commerical value, in a total survey of 700 artists. As for Jay Chou, who attracted $150,000,000yuan this year, took second place with 91.19%. Following on, ‘big brother’ Jackie Chan took third place with 89.76%.

4th = Jet Li (89.21%)
5th = Zhang Zi Yi (88.65%)
6th = Vicki Zhao (88.65%)
7th = Chen Dao Ming (88.30%)
8th = Li Ming (87.94%)
9th = Sun Hong Lei (87.80%)
10th = Maggie Cheung

In the top 10, male stars’ commercial value are evidently higher than female stars, as males occupied 7 places, furthermore top 5 are all male. Comparatively, Edison Chen, Deng Jie, Zang Tian Shuo etc have been bogged down due to too much negative news, and their placings are far behind. Comparatively, the ‘mass destruction’ brought on Deng Jie from the poisonous milk scandal*, seems to be more than Edison’s nude photo scandal.

*Deng Jie endorsed the San Lu milk powder for infants
