Chinese authorities say they are capping the pay of actors as part of a move to eliminate tax evasion and money worship in the industry.

Actors in Chinese films and TV programmes will have their pay capped at 40% of total production costs. Meanwhile, lead actors cannot be paid more than 70% of total cast pay, the government says.

This comes after a debate on celebrity pay, and allegations of tax evasion in the film industry.
