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

Maggie Cheung Rues No Cooperation with Pitt
CRIENGLISH.com
Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung will star in Quentin Tarantino's World War II film "Inglourious Bastards," the actress has said.
Cheung, 44, who has settled down in Beijing with her German architect boyfriend Ole Scheeren, went back to Hong Kong over the weekend to promote a brand she endorses, Star Daily reported.
The Cannes best actress told the newspaper she would only appear in a couple of scenes. However, the role would be challenging because she has to speak French.
Written and directed by the Oscar-winning Tarantino, the film will be led by Brad Pitt as the leader of eight Jewish-American soldiers. Cheung will play a French woman who owns a cinema in Paris.
"My character is very interesting," Cheung was quoted as saying, "But it's a pity I wouldn't be able to star in a scene together with Brad Pitt."
The film is set for release at next year's Cannes Film Festival in May.

After her 4 years marriage ended with the French film director Olivier Assayas, she fell in love with Guillaume Brochard, managing director of Ebel in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Last year Maggie announced in Taiwan that she had broken off with Olivier. She was very upset about it. Within 3 months, Maggie met Ole Scheeren, a German architect (based in Beijing) who is 6 years her junior. They went to a party in London and have been living in Beijing together.

Maggie Cheung's new role: empowering young women
Maggie Cheung, the internationally acclaimed Hong Kong actress, had been looking for a change. "I would love to try anything but films," she said in a recent interview.
Now she has found it.
Since she vanished from the big screen after filming 2004's Clean - a role that won her accolades at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival - Cheung has devoted her immense energy and talent to a wide array of other endeavors.
One of her proudest recent accomplishments is a charity project called the Women Innovation and Dream Fund, which launched earlier this year. The fund, co-sponsored by the cosmetic house Olay and the Soong Ching-Ling Foundation, sponsors 10 university students - providing them with financial backing and mentorship - to help them realize their dreams.
Cheung said the idea for the project was born from a conversation with a close friend two years ago. Cheung says she wants to give other women the opportunity to pursue success, and especially to help them overcome initial obstacles in the workplace.
"Although we (my friend and I) are accomplished now," she says, "I can see many young women are facing the difficulties we once had. So we want to help them."
Cheung will serve as a "life mentor," together with four other outstanding women from different fields, for the students selected for the program. "I want to share my experience with those girls, helping them know themselves better," she says.
Cheung also designed the logo for the fund, which resembles a tree spreading its branches.
Charity work, a guest stint as a fashion designer, and a new relationship with Ole Scheeren - a German architect who helped design CCTV's eye-catching new Beijing headquarters - have recently kept Cheung more than busy.
The celebrated 43-year screen idol says she has no immediate plans to star in another film.
Cheung says that only the chance to play a truly exceptional role would lure her back to the hectic schedule of movie production. "I would not want to simply reprise a previous roles, for repetition is meaningless," she says. "That means fewer and fewer roles seem appealing to me now."
Cheung says she loves taking risks. In a sense, taking a long break from the big screen - her original claim to fame - may be a risk, too. But the multi-talented woman is not afraid to turn over a new leaf. If she makes a decision and it turns out to be wrong, she says, at least she will have learned a lesson.
For now, Cheung has another goal: to remain anonymous on the Beijing subway.
"If everyone was pointing to me and said 'that's Maggie Cheung,' that would be no fun," she says. Sometimes, despite wearing large sunglasses and hiding her recognizable face behind fashionable scarves, she is still recognized by an observant passenger. In those instances, Cheung will simply say, "Please, don't tell."

Maggie Cheung Settles in Beijing with Boyfriend

Hong Kong film star Maggie Cheung has settled down in Beijing and turned a new page in her life with German architect boyfriend.
"I'm quite happy nowadays even when I've got no work to do." Maggie said on Wednesday in a fashion event as the spokesperson of a luxurious brand, Beijing Times reports.
"I can stay home for a whole week, do nothing but cook. And, believe it or not, I can make both Chinese and western style food, such as fried eggplant, steamed ribs, beefsteak and salad." Maggie Cheung said.
Although she owns properties in Beijing, Hong Kong and Paris, Maggie chose to live in Beijing, where she met her latest beau in June last year.
They were introduced to each other at a party and the two hit it off at first sight. At the time Maggie, 43, just broke up with former boyfriend of four years, French businessman Guillaume Brochard.
Ole Scheeren, 36, a partner in Dutch firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), is leading the design of the new headquarters building of China Central Television in Beijing.
He was also behind the Prada Epicenter store projects in New York and Los Angeles. He is said to be a film buff.
"Besides being tall and handsome, Ole is sweet and considerate," said a friend of the pair, "They both love films and photography, and seem to have endless topics."
Maggie, who has starred in 75 films, expressed her will to be an ordinary house wife, saying that "family and love matter the most."
When asked about her next film, she said "I don't know when."
