In the post-streaming age, it’s rare for actors to bring in quite the same mammoth salaries – at least compared to the glory days when audiences were drawn to a film primarily based on its leading star. Years ago, if a certain actor’s name was attached to a film, it almost guaranteed success. In the 90s, Will Smith, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey were paid massive salaries simply because they attracted a crowd. For instance, Carrey was paid US$20 million... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/entertainment/article/3248156/29-highest-paid-film-deals-all-time-ranked-leonardo-dicaprios-payday-killers-flower-moon-and-margot?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/entertainment/article/3248156/29-highest-paid-film-deals-all-time-ranked-leonardo-dicaprios-payday-killers-flower-moon-and-margot?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 13 Jan 2024 02:00:17 +0000 Hong Kong-born beauty content creator Sarah Cheung has carved out a unique niche as she transitioned from tutorials and commentary on make-up and skincare products to creating her cosmetics brand.
