The Present Market of Entertainment in China

Market Description ¨C
A - China's Broadcasting Industry

Chinese television viewers represented one quarter of the world television market and 44% of the Asian market in 1999. Over 5 million hours of television broadcasting are programmed in China on an annual basis. Of this total, in excess of 15,000 hours of original television drama are produced every year.

The Chinese TV production industry was originally developed within the state structure. As a result, most production companies are registered under various State-owned corporations, film studios or broadcasters. Magazine-style shows are prominent across all subjects, with current affairs and sports showing the highest ratings. There has also been a rapid growth in TV shopping and quiz shows, which have replaced variety shows as a method of involving audiences in regular live events.

All terrestrial channels in China are public, although advertising revenues fund them. China's primary national broadcasting group, CCTV, was established in 1958 and is the central government's official television broadcasting group. The group operates nine national channels, broadcasting 138 hours of programs daily. CCTV produces approximately 25% of its programming itself. Slightly less than 30% is purchased from foreign producers with the remainder acquired from the domestic or regional independent sector.

In addition to CCTV, all provinces and most municipalities, districts, major cities and counties have their own television stations, many with numerous channels, leading to an aggregate of over 2000 channels across the country. Provincial channels broadcast a mixture of domestic and foreign programs, while municipal channels have limited resources for in-house production and rely heavily on programming supplied by national channels.

New Broadcast Management Regulations were introduced in 1997, which reduced the number of television stations by enforcing tougher restrictions on the establishment of television stations. These regulations required the merger of television stations at the country level as well as restricted the amount of programming allowed to be produced in-house and reduced the amount of foreign programming to 25% in total or 10% of prime time (7 ¨C 10pm).

B - China¡¯s Film Industry

Over the past two decades, China has produced about 2,700 films and imported more than 800 foreign films. The annual movie output in China is now at about 100, and in 2000, box office sales in China reached RMB960 million (about US$116 million). In addition, with increasing popularity of television, China produces 15,000 hours of TV drama every year and imports more than 1,000 from overseas.

By 1999, box office receipts had declined to less than RMB900 million, less than half the 1992 total, and by 2001 the number had dropped to RMB840 million. Zhao suggests that the film industry needs an annual box office of RMB1.05 billion to survive. Clearly, the film industry was facing a crisis.

Following WTO entrance and the necessity to further open its markets to meet WTO obligations, the industry now faces a ¡°double burden,¡± i.e. not just to draw customers back to the movie theatres, but to do so in competition with Hollywood blockbusters for domestic market share. Facing this dilemma, Huang Shixian noted that China¡¯s Central Government¡¯s strategy embraces two extremes.

At one extreme China must produce blockbusters to compete with their Hollywood rivals. At the other extreme China must produce smaller-scale art films that are filmed and marketed with small budgets, but can be successful at home and abroad by adopting universal themes and depicting the lives of ordinary people. Significantly, both of these two types of films were financed by private investment, another important new trend in Chinese cinema.

As Huang suggests, there are clear signs that the function of the Chinese government will change over time, from control of the film industry to service and support for the industry. In this regard, there have already been important changes that will have a major impact on film production, marketing and distribution over the next few years, including the aforementioned introduction of new, private sources of funding from within China and Hong Kong; the formation of cross- and inter-provincial cinema chains; and a greater understanding of the importance of marketing and distribution in the success of a film.

Sony Columbia- the most important active player in the local Chinese Cinema market has also announced that its plans to invest US$100 million in China¡¯s music and film industries within three years, and will shoot five movies in China every year. Sony chairman Nobuyuki Idei expects China to become Sony¡¯s second largest market, after the U.S., by 2008. While Sony is already active in producing films in the local language throughout Asia, its cooperative venture in China is by far the most ambitious.

China plans to establish six large group companies in the next five years aimed at concentrating capital and human resources to meet the international standards. At present, China has already established five group companies and three major film production bases which are in Beijing, Shanghai and Changchun respectively.

Under the bilateral agreement signed between SARFT and the U.S. on China's accession to the WTO, China will import 20 foreign films every year in the form of separate accounts as long as they conform to China's "Regulation on Film Management." And foreign investors will be allowed to participate in the construction and renovation of movie theatres as long as their investment does not exceed 49 percent.

C - ADVERTISING INDUSTRY

  • Overview: Audience & Advertising Revenue

 

The end of 2000 estimated the number of television viewers in China estimated at over 1 billion, which accounts for 92% of the total population. In contrast, only 40% of the population read or have access to newspapers and magazines.

Chinese households now have over 300 million television sets and that number is growing at an annual rate of 10%. Currently, there are over 350 TV stations (including both terrestrial and cable) above the municipal level, which represent more than 1100 channels, according to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT).

Meanwhile, television industry commands the largest share of advertising revenues among the major media sectors, which also include publishing (newspapers and magazines) and radio. Between 1991 and 1999, television advertising revenue in China rose from a meager RMB 1 billion to RMB 15.6 billion (US $ 1.9 billion), which represented an annual growth rate of 46%.

 

 

THE 2000 TELEVISION PROGRAMMING BREAKDOWN

After the initial explosive growth between late 1980s and early 1990s, the advertising growth has relatively stabilized at an annual 16% during the last few years; however, it is believed that there is still enormous potential in the industry. Per capital ad spending in China is only US$7 as compared to the world average of US$50-100.

In terms of ad spending as a percentage of GDP, China also lags behind the world average, with a 0.79% vs. the world average figure of 1.5%. With this gap and the overall economic outlook for the next few years, industry experts predict that China¡¯s annual ad growth rate will remain above 15% for the next decade.
