C-actress Fan Bing Bing starred in the boobtastic mega hit period C-drama in 2015 called The Empress of China, which makes it even more fitting that she tops the just released 2015 Forbes China Celebrity Power List. Even more impressive is this being her second year in a row at the number one spot, bringing the girl power to the yard and schooling all the men. Right behind her in the power play is singer/actor Jay Chou, who got the most news in the past year for marrying his much younger model girlfriend, followed by actor/chef/entrepreneur Nicholas Tse, who also got the most publicity for getting back together with his much older first love Faye Wong (she also made the Forbes list a bit further down than Nic). Other than the usual suspects on this year’s list, the media is buzzing over all the fresh meat, i.e. young Chinese flower boy singers and actors, that made the list starting with Li Yi Feng through Luhan and Kris and rounded out with William Chan and Lin Geng Xin. Check out the full 1-100 rankings below to see who is a mover-and-shaker in the C-entertainment industry in 2015.

This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Not too far fetched, though I'd expect Jay to drop after his most recent lackluster album and marriage. I would have placed Ruby Lin much higher on the list though.
You see a lot of established figure at the bottom (Tang Wei, Ruby Lin, Faye Wong). Even though they haven't has as much exposure, is it normal for them to drop that much? It's a little weird to see established people so far down the list.
Hawick Lau didn't even make the top list.
Jolin should have been higher after that fabulous album. I still have Play on rotation and watched her reality show even though my Mandarin is basically terrible
Did Show do something? Aside from his entertainment show? Has he had an album since Lion Roar? I hated the dance in that MV so much but him and Ga In were interesting
Kris has like 6 movies this year so I did think he'd be higher but nice top 50 entry for him.
Yea he does have six movies but only one movie is out so far. The rest is still in post production or haven't been film yet.
I'm happy for Chen Xiao and Lin Geng Xin. I am just a fangirl of them.
Can someone explain William Chan for me? He's been active in HK for so long but is derogatorily known as "Taxi Chan" (which I am guilty of still calling him) and Sa's bf, then out of nowhere he's become a 男神 in Mainland? Where, how, and why? I am very curious.
3 very popular C-dramas in 2014 & 2015, including Sword of Legends and Legend of Fragrance. The male lead in these 2 dramas, despite his youth and short drama/film history, zoomed all the way up into the top 10!
I wonder how his acting flares?
yeah, he played many popular dramas in mainland, and i watched some of his HK movies and dramas, but they didnt really work for his career, i mean, he's big in mainland..
it's the same with wallace and hawick.. they started their career in HK but popular in mainnland :)
I liked Hawick in all the HK Dramas I've seen him in (which isn't a lot tbh).
I feel like the situation is a TAD different. I feel like when the HK media talked about Taxi Chan, there was this mocking tone. I don't think was the case with Wallace and Hawick when they were active in HK. I THINK.
Jerry yan is not on the list O_O
No Tony Leung?
#43 Zhao Li Ying, and #74 Chen Xiao
:3
<3
It's interesting to see Jackie Chan ranked lower than Fan Bing Bing and Nic Tse - makes me feel old since I always think he's unbeatable.
That was also my first reaction, but I guess it's probably due to his son's scandal last year?
Most of the list are new names who are hot, popular just the current trend like the flower boys, the pretty leading ladies or the alist female actresses like Fan Bing Bing. Im more surprised at Jackie Chans power,popularity as 60+ year old that he is every year in top 3-5. Since he has dominated C-entertainment since the 80s.
Its only Jackie, Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun Fat, Stephen Chow who are the old legendary names in the list.
Other than i dont even know what Fan Bing Bing is famous for films wise when she is huge in China. Boob empress you read about online? Can that compare Jackie Chan who is loved all over the world, conquered the world popularity wise? The rest of 99 together isnt enough world wide fame compared to Jackie Chan. Only bigger chinese,HK name is Bruce Lee who died decades ago.
Chen Xiao, congratulations to him.
Wow,Chen Xiao, my bias made the list. Keep it up!
Chen Xiao's fan here. Congrats to him.
Chen Xiao* Chen Xiao* I'm so happy for him.
