The box office situation in China in 2021 is not ideal, and the weakness of the supply side of Chinese and foreign films is the main reason. On the one hand, the introduction of imported films is not smooth. On the other hand, the already depressed production environment in China has also been severely hit by the epidemic. Not only the startup projects have been greatly reduced, but also the film and television talents have been lost. According to the state film administration, as of December 24, the number of China Film Co.Ltd(600977) public release licenses issued in 2021 was only 456, 18 less than that in 2020 and 36% less than that in 2019.
