中国电影产业境外资本准入问题研究

按照2011年底公布的《电影产业促进法(征求意见稿)》,放开电影行业的资本准入门槛是致力于促进电影产业发展的措施之一。在现行电影管理体制下,外资和港澳台资本很难进入内地电影的制作、发行和放映环节。但是,通过对现行规则和《电影产业促进法》相关规定的比对,发现《电影产业促进法》非但没有降低境外资本的准入门槛,反而在电影制作环节对外资准入进行了更多的限制。而同样经历了电影产业从管制到促进制度变化的印度、韩国和越南,其开放性和自由化的产业政策正是促进其电影产业发展的关键。因此,依次、逐步地开放影院、院线、发行和制作四个环节是与中国国情最相适应的电影产业境外资本准入机制。

Research on Issue of Access to Chinese Film Industry for Foreign Investment

Foreign investment＇s entry to Chinese film industry is going to be allowed,as one of the actions to be implemented in order to promote the development of film industry according to Film Industry Promotion Law（Draft）.Due to the current administration system,investment from overseas,Hong Kong,Macao or Taiwan finds it hard to get involved in Chinese filmmaking,distribution and screening.Nevertheless,comparing the current regulations with the relevant provisions of Film Industry Promotion Law（Draft）,we conclude that far from lowering the threshold,the new law sets even more limits for foreign investment on access to filmmaking in China.Thanks to the open and free industrial policies,we＇ve seen the development of film industry in India,Korea and Vietnam after their adoption of the changed administration system-transforming from regulating model to promoting model.Finally,the most appropriate resolution for China is to gradually offer foreign investment the access to movie theatres,theatre chains,film distribution and filmmaking in turn.
