Beijing, Nov. 2 (Xinhuanet) -- Nicole Kidman's latest performance won't win her any Oscars, but it did her bank balance a power of good.
 
    She was paid $5 million for four days' work shooting a perfume commercial for Chanel No. 5.

    With Luhrmann again in charge, it features Kidman wearing $41 million worth of diamonds.

    And with a budget of $60 million, it cost more than many Hollywood movies to make.

    Karl Lagerfeld made Kidman's costumes, including a pink gown with a billowing train, ostrich feathers and a diamond necklace almost 1m long.

    She is seen running from screaming fans and photographers into a taxi, where she finds a young writer ¨C played by Love Actually actor Rodrigo Santoro ¨C on the back seat.

    They embrace on the roof of his apartment where the enormous double "C" of the Chanel logo is lit up.

    But she decides not to quit her glamorous life and the man is left with the memory, according to the commercial, of "her kiss, her smile, her perfume".

    The ad will debut in cinemas on November 12. Enditem
