Where will the "Big Eight" state-owned film companies go?

The "Big Eight" film groups in China include China Film Group Corporation, Shanghai Film Group Co., Ltd., Xiaoying (Xiaoxiang Film Group), Chang Ying (changchun film studio), Bayi (Bayi Film Studio), Eying (Emei Film Group), Xiying (Xi 'an Film Studio) and Zhu Ying (Zhujiang Film Group).

First, it was brilliant.

Emei Film Studio has produced more than 30 films such as Jiao and Opium War, and won various awards at home and abroad for more than 80 times.

Xi Film Studio is the cradle of Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei. Produced a series of Oscar nominations for best foreign language film, such as Heroes of Heaven and Earth, Farewell My Concubine, and Raise the Red Lantern.

Chang Ying, known as the cradle of China films, has a deep accumulation of film production. In the 70-year history, he has made many classic films, such as Shangganling, Heroic Children and Five Golden Flowers.

Second, the road to transformation is long.

Except that China Film and Shanghai Film are close to the political center or economic hinterland, other state-owned film groups including E Film, Chang Ying Film and Zhu Ying Film are basically struggling.

1, China film group's two monopoly businesses are enough to completely get rid of the ranks of peers, which is hard to reach.

The first is the right to introduce and distribute foreign films. China Film Group is the only company in Chinese mainland that has the right to import films. Moreover, at present, only China Film Group and Huaxia Film have the right to issue import accounts, and China Film Group also holds shares in Huaxia 1 1%, which is second only to 20% held by China Broadcasting Film and Television Group.

Second, the average ratings and market share of the movie channel (CCTV-6) under China Film Group have been the second channel of CCTV for many years.

2. Before listing, Shanghai Film Group already owned cinema companies such as United Cinema, Shanghai Studios and Yonghua Cinema. Among them, in 20 16, United Cinema realized box office of 365,438+billion yuan, accounting for 7. 14% of the national market share. ?

In terms of distribution channels, Shanghai Film Group joined forces with Zhejiang Times Film, Jiangsu Happiness Blue Ocean Cinema, Henan Oscar Cinema and Sichuan Film Company to form the "Four Seas Film Distribution Alliance" last year. According to Ren, president of Shanghai Film Group, the cinema resources owned by the distribution account for nearly 20% of the country.

3. Other state-owned film groups

1) Ceekay

Unlisted, difficult to raise funds and insufficient funds, state-owned film companies missed the first golden opportunity of the marriage between China Film and capital.

The management system is old and rigid, the senior staff is seriously aging, the administrative color is strong, and the innovation vitality is low.

The brain drain is serious, not only in content production, but also in corporate governance and film project management that meets modern standards.

The burden of salary and retirement allowance is very heavy.

2) Comparative advantage

Thanks to the support of the government and relevant policies, especially in the context of China. The "Big Eight" state-owned enterprises can get huge subsidies from the central and local governments every year.

Due to historical reasons, many state-owned enterprises have innate cinema resources. Eying also participated in the Pacific Cinema Line, Emei Cinema Line and Xintiandi Digital Cinema Line, totaling more than 100 cinemas. There are more than 400 cinemas in Zhu Ying, such as Legend Cinema and Starlight Cinema.
