Abstract: In recent years, the high income of China's pop stars has aroused public concern and questioning. There is an urgent need to further standardize the income distribution system in China, curbing the abnormally high income of the pop stars, and therefore maintaining social equity and justice. Marx's labor theory of value is the most basic theory guiding China's income distribution, and has important guiding significance in solving the unbalanced income distribution in China. Based on Marx's theory of labor value, this paper analyzes and summarizes problems of the abnormally high income of pop stars in the respects of composition, capital investment, product endorsement, and contract signing and concludes that the major reasons for the phenomenon are the pop stars' lack of sense of social responsibility, the abnormal market demand, and the ineffective adjustment and supervision mechanism. Finally, we propose to solve the problem from the two dimensions of culture and system. Efforts must be done first in legislation,and then in income distribution system improvement so as to adjust the income gap. Government's regulation are also necessary to prevent the negative effects of market mechanism. Education programs must be carried out to promote positive values and the external supervision must be implemented to regulate pop stars' conducts.
