With the support of national policies and the support of national forces, China's film industry has continued to create brilliance. The Chinese film market has great potential for development, and film investment has become a major investment outlet.
However, as many people invest in film and television, the film industry has become a mixed bag. At the same time, there have been many film and television investment scams. So how to invest in film and television, how can it be regarded as a formal film and television investment? I will tell you in detail today. First, understand the film and television investment process 1. If you want to invest in film and television, you should first understand the detailed project information. For example, the business plan of the project, the filing materials of the State Optoelectronics Administration, the production team and the cast, the production cycle, etc. The background qualifications of the issuing company and production company. 2. Assess project risks. Any investment is a risky investment, and there is the possibility of profit and cost. Under the premise of risk awareness, sign a joint investment contract (paper) and make a payment (a corporate account). 3. Follow the real-time progress of the movie. Such as filming and screening of movies. Once a problem is discovered, the producer should be contacted for consultation immediately. If the movie is not released after the expiry date, rights protection should be carried out in accordance with the contract. 4. Box office settlement and return of income. This can check the box office dynamics of investment movies on Maoyan. It is necessary to understand the principle of box office splitting of film and television investment. (Generally speaking, film and television production companies will take about 35% of the movie box office. Investors are based on the proportion of the purchased copyright shares, and from this 35%, they enjoy a proportional dividend. Of course, in addition to the theater box office, there are also networks Copyright, income from overseas copyright, dividends from TV stations, etc.)
So, how can it be considered a formal film and television investment? For individual investors, the current channel for participating in film investment is to subscribe for copyright through the person in charge of the film project, purchase the copyright of the film in the form of a share, and then obtain box office dividends and copyright income after the film is released. When signing a paper contract with the production company, there are formal and legal legal clauses on it, signed and stamped with the company seal to protect the legitimate interests of both parties.
Finally, how to ensure that your investment is formal and protected by law? After understanding the film and television investment process and formal film and television investment, how can ensure that his film and television investment is regular? To do the following: 1. Confirm the reliability of the project. This can go to the official website of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to check whether the project has been approved. You can also check whether there is project-related information on Maoyan. 2. Ensure that the copyright issuer is the first producer. In many cases, only the first producer has the right to sell the copyright. Of course, the co-producer sometimes also has the right to transfer copyright in the contract. But there will be a premium, and it is not easy to verify. It is the safest to choose the first producer. 3. Look for the transfer to the public account of the first producer. All capital flows to public accounts are supervised by banks and other various supervisory agencies. Once problems arise, they can protect their legitimate rights and interests through legal channels. 4. If possible, you can go to the company for on-site inspection. Look at the shooting location, look at the company's business license, the project filing letter... and then sign the paper contract.
Of course, you must learn to verify the authenticity of this information yourself. Some co-producers can give you this information, and some so-called "producers" also have various qualifications. The key is to verify the authenticity or whether it matches the project itself. For these, it is best to consult a film and television investment commissioner to avoid falling into an investment scam.
