The method, in full

How the two lists were built

The same score: Star power: the gross of the films a person led, how that run held up, how many there were, how recent, and how audiences rated them.
Computed separately: Each score is a percentile inside its own industry, so Brazilian Cinema names are scored against Brazilian Cinema and Chinese Cinema names against Chinese Cinema.
How to read a row: Because every industry is scored against itself, rank 25 in Brazilian Cinema and rank 25 in Chinese Cinema are the same fact about different places: the 25th biggest name at home. Neither number says anything about the other industry.
Who qualifies: At least 2 led films, which is what it takes for a percentile to mean anything.

Gross and rating as reported on TMDB and Wikipedia 2 Brazilian Cinema names and 78 Chinese Cinema names are ranked, so the lists run out at different lengths.
