Artists are not allowed to use the name of relatives, or people not related to the performance field to sign contracts to separate income into different amounts, concealing the actual remuneration received.

Previously, China's National Administration of Broadcasting and Broadcasting (NRTA) stipulated that the total remuneration for a film's actors should not exceed 40% of the production budget. In which, the salary for the main actor does not exceed 70% of the remuneration of the supporting actors.

According to producer Ta Xiaohu, Chinese actors' remuneration has decreased by 30-50%, the current limit is $6.2 million. This figure is $2.8 million lower than in 2021, when the red line with big-name stars was $9 million.
