Do a good job of technology and finance’s great article and accelerate the realization of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology

  [Doing Five Great Articles to Promote High-quality Financial Development]

  Author: Dong Zhi (Vice President of Peking University, Dean of School of Economics)

  The Central Financial Work Conference held a few days ago put forward that "finance should provide high-quality services for economic and social development" and "do five major articles on technology and finance, green finance, inclusive finance, pension finance and digital finance", which pointed out the direction for China’s financial services to the real economy. As the first of the "Five Great Articles", doing a good job in technology and finance’s great article not only shows that the Party and the country attach great importance to scientific and technological innovation, but also shows that science and technology, as the primary productive force, plays an important role in economic and social development, and it also shows that technology and finance plays an important role in promoting high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.

  1 fully understand the significance of doing a good job in technology and finance’s great articles.

  Technology and finance refers to a series of financial activities of scientific and technological innovation in financial services and the development of scientific and technological enterprises. It is the product of deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and financial innovation, involving financial system, financial policy, financial model, financial products and other aspects. Doing a good job in technology and finance’s great article is an inherent requirement for China to enter a new stage of development, implement new development concepts, and build a new development pattern. It is also the need for finance to achieve high-quality development and achieve the goal of becoming a financial power.

  Lay a solid foundation for realizing a strong country through science and technology. Innovation is the first driving force to lead development, and finance is the blood of the development of the real economy. On the one hand, technology and finance has expanded the financing channels of scientific and technological innovative enterprises, reduced the risk of financial exclusion of scientific and technological innovative enterprises, and effectively improved their scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Flexible and diversified financing methods are particularly obvious in supporting long-term and difficult scientific and technological innovation; On the other hand, technology and finance can provide innovative financing incentives for enterprises, cultivate their innovative consciousness in the field of actual production and service, promote the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, optimize the structure of the real economy and improve the overall economic benefits.

  Inject strong impetus into building a financial power. The development of technology and finance can promote the formation of the innovation ecosystem of the real economy and the financial industry at the same time, which not only provides a more favorable environment for scientific and technological innovation, but also provides a platform for orderly competition in the financial industry. Through diversified financing methods, technology and finance provides full-chain, full-life financial services for science and technology enterprises, which not only promotes scientific and technological enterprises to carry out R&D innovation activities and transform scientific and technological achievements, but also reduces the tendency of funds to be divorced from reality. In addition, the development of technology and finance has also built a platform for financial institutions to achieve innovative competitive development. Excellent technology and finance institutions should be able to quickly and effectively identify science and technology-based enterprises with technology transformation capability and market potential, and also provide multi-level services in finance, operation, R&D and even industrial chain integration.

  Provide a strong guarantee for independent development. At present, the world’s great changes in the past century have accelerated its evolution, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has developed in depth, and the international power has been profoundly adjusted. Major countries have regarded scientific and technological innovation as the main battlefield of the international strategic game, and the competition around the commanding heights of scientific and technological innovation has been unprecedentedly fierce. China’s development has also entered a period in which strategic opportunities and risk challenges coexist and uncertain and unpredictable factors increase. The sound development of technology and finance can effectively help independent research and development, ensure the stability and security of China’s industrial chain and supply chain, accelerate the deployment of innovation chain around the industrial chain, and escort the self-reliance and self-improvement of science and technology.

  2 The current development trend of technology and finance in China

  In recent years, China’s high-tech industry has developed vigorously. By the end of the third quarter of 2023, China had cultivated 103,000 specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and 178 national high-tech industrial development zones achieved a total industrial output value of 23.5 trillion yuan. The proportion of high-tech industries has been expanding, and high-tech manufacturing has accounted for 15.3% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size. How to use financial services to boost the development of high-tech industries and optimize the national economic structure has become a key issue that macro-economy must answer to achieve high-quality development. In this context, China attaches great importance to the construction of technology and finance system, actively promotes the deep integration of finance and science and technology, and gives full play to the synergistic role of market and government in the development of technology and finance. It has not only initially established a diversified service system in technology and finance, including venture capital, stock market, bond market and bank credit, but also formed a market-oriented support system represented by government-guided funds to promote the development of technology and finance. technology and finance’s development has achieved remarkable results.

  By the end of June 2023, the management scale of venture capital and private equity investment funds in China was nearly 14 trillion yuan, and hard technology enterprises became the hot target of equity investment. Science and technology innovation board injected a strong impetus into the development of science and technology enterprises, successfully promoted more than 500 enterprises to realize IPO, and raised nearly one trillion yuan; Beijing Stock Exchange strives to promote the formation of a full-chain service system to support the innovation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and has become the main position to build innovative small and medium-sized enterprises with services. Among them, more than 80 enterprises have been selected into the national list of "Little Giant" enterprises with specialization and innovation, and over 80% of the companies have been selected into the list of provincial and municipal enterprises with specialization and innovation. In addition to equity financing, technology and finance’s related debt financing has also increased significantly, with the balance of Kechuang bills and Kechuang corporate bonds of about 450 billion yuan, and the balance of medium and long-term loans for high-tech manufacturing, loans for small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises and loans for "specialized and innovative" enterprises of 2.5 trillion yuan, 2.36 trillion yuan and 2.72 trillion yuan respectively, maintaining a growth rate of over 20% for many years. In addition, in order to effectively solve the information asymmetry between science and technology enterprises and financial institutions and the financing difficulties of science and technology enterprises, since 2020, the Torch Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology has launched an enterprise innovation point system to "portrait" the innovation ability of enterprises through the form of innovation points, identify and discover science and technology enterprises with strong innovation ability and great growth potential, and encourage financial institutions to provide credit support in combination with scientific and technological innovation evaluation.Guide local governments to open up direct channels for fiscal, taxation, science and education, industry, finance and other policy resources to support enterprise innovation.

  With the rapid ecological progress in technology and finance, China, the government-guided fund has played an important role in promoting scientific and technological innovation and promoting the structural reform of the financial supply side. By the third quarter of 2023, governments at all levels had set up 1,557 government guidance funds, with a management scale of nearly 3 trillion yuan. The investment field focused on cutting-edge technology, of which funds led by strategic emerging industries accounted for 50%, which played an increasingly prominent role in promoting scientific and technological progress and promoting regional development.

  3 to cope with the challenges facing the development of technology and finance.

  To do a good job of technology and finance’s great article needs to be rooted in the national conditions. We should not only understand the inherent characteristics of finance, but also grasp the development law of scientific and technological innovation, and rationally treat the difficulties and challenges faced by technology and finance in its development process.

  First of all, based on the current situation of China’s financial development, we must explore the road of high-quality development in technology and finance by promoting the mutual complement of direct financing and indirect financing, and uniting multi-channels to support scientific and technological innovation. China’s financing structure has been dominated by indirect financing for a long time, and credit assets account for more than half of the total financial assets. However, scientific and technological innovation, especially some frontier scientific and technological innovation projects, often involve a lot of investment, a long period of time and high risks, and there is great uncertainty in research and development results, so it is difficult for indirect financing to meet the demands of scientific and technological innovation enterprises for capital and financial risk management at the same time. Indirect financing takes creditors’ fixed interest income as economic incentive, and lacks innovative benefit sharing mechanism, and financial institutions providing indirect financial services also lack the motivation to share innovative risks. The intrinsic value of science and technology enterprises is more reflected in the intangible assets formed by innovation, such as technological advantages, patents, intellectual property rights, etc. It is more difficult to evaluate their assets, and they often do not have the conditions to obtain financing through mortgage loans of tangible assets. However, the financing demand for technology transformation is expanding rapidly, which will lead enterprises to face the problems of financing difficulties, expensive financing and slow financing.

  Secondly, the development of technology and finance not only needs financial institutions to closely contact professional scientific research institutions, but also needs the government to fill the weak links in the system from the aspects of rule of law, finance and taxation, scientific research, credit and talents, and improve the support and guarantee for the development of technology and finance. Financial services must weigh the benefits and risks, but technological innovation itself has great risks. Scientific and technological innovation not only faces a long innovation chain and transformation chain, but also faces the increasing change of science and technology, and the innovation results may be born behind. Moreover, the complexity of scientific and technological innovation leads to the prominent problem of information asymmetry between science and technology-based enterprises and financial institutions. It is often difficult for financial institutions and even government departments to effectively assess the technological risks of science and technology-based enterprises, and it is easy to cause institutional arbitrage due to information asymmetry, which ultimately affects the accuracy of technology and finance’s services.

  Finally, the development of technology and finance urgently needs to strengthen the overall planning and policy coordination, and the relevant regulatory authorities need to rationally and objectively look at and steadily promote the development of technology and finance. First, in recent years, the state has issued a series of policies to support scientific and technological innovation and the development of technology and finance, but the policy support system is not accurate enough, which leads to difficulties in policy implementation, which not only increases the burden of government expenditure, but also distorts reasonable innovation incentives. Second, when large-scale scientific and technological innovation enterprises become the service targets of the financial industry, the inherent R&D risks of scientific and technological innovation will also be transformed into financial risks. At the moment when the development trend of interdisciplinary and cross-border infiltration is more obvious, the scientific research organization model of division and governance cannot be rapidly transformed, which will also increase the backward risks of related scientific and technological innovations.

  4 Identify the path of action to promote the development of technology and finance.

  To effectively guide the financial industry to serve China’s scientific and technological innovation, we should not only co-ordinate the overall situation at home and abroad, make full use of the domestic and international markets and resources, but also co-ordinate the two major events of development and security, prevent the risks brought by technology and finance while promoting the high-quality development of technology and finance, and effectively identify the right path of action.

  First, improve relevant institutional mechanisms and establish a diversified technology and finance system. A perfect multi-level capital market is the market foundation for technology and finance’s high-quality development. We should further improve the listing and trading systems of GEM, science and technology innovation board and Beijiao Stock Exchange, as well as the listing and trading systems of the New Third Board and regional equity markets, so as to provide more financing channels for scientific and technological innovation enterprises. Guide and support all kinds of financial institutions to carry out technology and finance services, encourage financial institutions to innovate financial products and services, guide and support equity investment institutions to carry out scientific and technological investment business, meet the financing needs of different types of scientific and technological innovation at different stages, and provide more financial support for scientific and technological innovation enterprises. The government should increase the research and investment in scientific and technological innovation, keep up with the cutting-edge scientific and technological direction, and work with the market to screen out scientific and technological innovation tracks with technical and market potential. Increase the input of government guidance fund in a timely manner to improve its guidance effect and leverage. The healthy development of government-guided funds can not be separated from a perfect exit mechanism. We should design a reasonable income distribution scheme on the basis of improving investment decision-making ability to ensure that government-guided funds can achieve their own sustainable development while supporting scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading.

  Second, promote the deep integration of technological innovation and financial innovation, and realize the coordinated development of technology and finance. On the one hand, adapt to the financial needs of technological innovation and promote technological innovation with financial innovation. The financial system should provide all-round financial services for technological innovation, encourage traditional financial institutions to innovate financial products and services, and support financial institutions to cooperate with technological innovation enterprises to jointly develop innovative financial products and services. On the other hand, accelerate the financial sector to embrace cutting-edge technology and empower financial services with technological innovation. Financial institutions accelerate digital transformation and adopt advanced scientific and technological means, which can improve the efficiency of financial services and provide broader development space for scientific and technological innovation, and use financial and technological means such as data credit enhancement, corporate portrait and technical patent evaluation to broaden financing channels for scientific and technological enterprises.

  Third, enhance the support and guarantee capacity of technology and finance’s policies and improve the supporting system of technology and finance’s development. In terms of basic guarantee, the foundation of technology and finance’s high-quality development lies in the continuous improvement of relevant supporting infrastructure systems, including technology and finance information platform, science and technology patent database and technology and finance service platform, so as to provide necessary technical support and infrastructure guarantee for the development of technology and finance. Among them, the construction of technology and finance-related credit information system is the key. We should focus on establishing a perfect credit system in technology and finance, including the credit information publicity system of scientific and technological enterprises and the basic database of personal credit information, actively promote the sharing of credit information among financial institutions, credit reporting agencies and public institutions, break down the information barriers, and jointly provide more comprehensive and accurate credit information support for technology and finance. The government pays attention to providing a series of support policies, such as financial support, tax incentives and credit support, to increase the training and introduction of talents in technology and finance.

  Fourth, improve the level of risk management and supervision in technology and finance to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of technology and finance. First, strengthen the risk management capabilities of financial institutions. Financial institutions should not only adapt to the development trend of technology and finance, clarify the risk management objectives and strategies, strengthen risk identification, evaluation and control, and ensure that the business risks in technology and finance can be controlled, but also strengthen the monitoring and early warning of the business in technology and finance, so as to find and deal with potential risks in time and prevent the risk from spreading and spreading while accelerating the construction of the risk firewall system. Actively promote the application of scientific and technological innovation in risk management, empower the development of technology and finance with financial scientific and technological innovation, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of risk management. Secondly, increase support for science and technology insurance and guarantee, encourage and support insurance companies and guarantee institutions to carry out science and technology insurance and guarantee business, and provide risk protection for science and technology innovation enterprises. Finally, constantly improve the supervision system in technology and finance, establish supervision rules and standards suitable for the development of technology and finance, ensure the effectiveness and fairness of supervision, coordinate development and safety, and form a joint force of government guidance, market operation and social participation to jointly promote the healthy and sustainable development of technology and finance.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s financial reform and development has made great achievements, the financial industry has maintained rapid development, the structural reform of the financial supply side has been deepened, and the comprehensive strength of the financial industry has been further enhanced. At present, China has formed a comprehensive and competitive financial institution system covering banking, securities, insurance, funds, futures and other fields, and basically established a modern financial market system suitable for Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The modern financial system has been basically completed.
At the end of 2021, the total assets of China’s financial institutions were 381.95 trillion yuan, of which the total assets of banking institutions were 344.76 trillion yuan; The total assets of securities institutions are 12.3 trillion yuan; The total assets of insurance institutions are 24.89 trillion yuan. At the end of 2011 ten years ago, the total assets of China’s banking institutions were only 113.3 trillion yuan.
With the development of high-quality economy, China’s financial market has become more mature, and a financial market system with complementary functions, multi-level trading venues and diversified trading products has been gradually established, and the ability to allocate resources and serve the real economy has been continuously enhanced.
At present, China has basically established a financial service system aimed at serving the real economy and benefiting the people. China’s financial services are constantly enriched, and the convenience and inclusiveness of basic financial services such as deposit and loan, payment and settlement, wealth management and investment, and information inquiry are at the forefront of the world. The registration, custody, clearing, settlement, credit reporting and rating systems of the financial market are basically sound, and the financial infrastructure is constantly improving.
China’s multi-level, wide-coverage and differentiated financial system has initially taken shape. The variety of financial institutions is complete and the competition is full. The continuous innovation and development of capital market, insurance market, money market and foreign exchange market has become an important foundation for the coexistence and common prosperity of finance and the real economy. In recent years, the capital market has been comprehensively deepened, and the reform of the stock market registration system has made a breakthrough. Small and medium-sized boards, Growth Enterprise Market and New Third Board have been established successively. In June 2019, the Shanghai Stock Exchange launched the science and technology innovation board to explore the reform of the stock market registration system. In November 2021, the Beijing Stock Exchange opened, the construction of multi-level capital market was more perfect, and the construction of market basic system was continuously strengthened.
At the same time, the bond market has developed rapidly and its scale has steadily increased, playing an increasingly important role in the asset allocation of international investors. In recent years, the scale of China’s stock market and bond market has steadily increased, ranking second in the world.

By the end of 2021, the annual turnover of Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets reached 258.0 trillion yuan, and the balance of bond market custody reached 133.5 trillion yuan.
The quality and efficiency of financial services have been comprehensively improved.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the financial industry has insisted on returning to its original source, comprehensively improved the quality and efficiency of serving the real economy, and allocated more financial resources to key areas and weak links of economic and social development such as small and micro enterprises, "agriculture, rural areas and farmers", emerging industries, and environmental protection, so as to meet the reasonable and effective financing needs of market participants and promote the transformation and adjustment of the national economy and a virtuous cycle of development. Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Zhaolian Finance, said that in recent years, the scale of the financial industry has grown rapidly, financial technology has flourished, innovations in financial products and services have emerged one after another, and the ability of financial services to the real economy has improved.
At present, China’s basic financial services have basically achieved full coverage. By the end of 2020, the coverage rate of banking outlets in towns and villages nationwide reached 97.13%, and the coverage rate of village-level administrative districts with payment services reached 99.31%, basically realizing that there are institutions in towns and villages, services in every village and accounts in every family. At present, serious illness insurance has covered 1.22 billion urban and rural residents, and agricultural insurance has provided 4.7 trillion yuan of risk protection for 180 million households. The efficiency and level of economic and social development of financial services have been steadily improved. The financial system runs the new development concept through the whole process of financial reform and development, and comprehensively serves the high-quality development of the economy and society.
The financial services of private enterprises and small and micro enterprises continued to improve. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the financial industry has adhered to the concept of shared development, built a characteristic inclusive financial system, and strived to improve the coverage, availability and satisfaction of financial services. The financing of private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises presents a good trend of "increasing in quantity, expanding in area and decreasing in price". At the end of January 2022, the balance of Pratt & Whitney small and micro loans was 19.7 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.8%; The number of micro-credit households in Pratt & Whitney increased to 48.13 million, a year-on-year increase of 45.5%. In 2021, the average interest rate of new loans for small and micro enterprises was 4.93%, which was 22 basis points lower than the annual level in 2020.
As the blood in the economic operation system, the financial industry has become an important support and powerful guarantee for tackling poverty. Since the beginning of the fight against poverty, 9.2 trillion yuan of financial precision poverty alleviation loans have been issued, more than 710 billion yuan of poverty alleviation micro-credit has been issued, and 668.8 billion yuan of poverty alleviation re-loans have been issued.
Adhere to the concept of green development and gradually improve the green financial system. At the end of 2021, the balance of local and foreign currency green loans was 15.9 trillion yuan, up 33% year-on-year, 12.7 percentage points higher than the end of last year, 21.7 percentage points higher than the growth rate of various loans, and the annual increase was 3.86 trillion yuan, ranking first in the world in terms of stock scale.
Opening to the outside world has entered a new stage.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the financial industry has entered a new stage of opening to the outside world, and basically established a management system of national treatment plus negative list before foreign investment access, treating domestic and foreign investors equally, greatly expanding the financial industry’s opening to the outside world, and accelerating the formation of a two-way open financial system. Chen Yulu, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China, said that in recent years, China’s financial industry has made breakthrough progress. The People’s Bank of China, together with other financial supervision departments, announced more than 50 measures for opening to the outside world, and the degree of two-way opening of financial markets has been continuously improved, making important efforts to realize China’s high-level opening and maintain an open world economic system.
In recent years, the pace of China’s financial industry opening to the outside world has obviously accelerated, and a number of opening-up measures have quickly landed. The restrictions on the proportion of foreign ownership in banking, securities, fund management, futures and personal insurance were completely abolished, and the scope of exhibition industry was greatly relaxed; Foreign nationals have been given national treatment in the fields of enterprise credit investigation, credit rating, payment and settlement; The two-way opening of the capital market continues to expand, and the supporting systems such as accounting, taxation and trading are gradually in line with international standards.
Foreign financial institutions actively and orderly entered the China market, showing a situation of "a hundred flowers blossom". According to statistics, since 2018, China has approved foreign capital to set up more than 100 banks and insurance institutions, 12 foreign-controlled (including wholly-owned) securities, fund management and futures companies, and 6 credit investigation, rating, payment and clearing institutions for foreign-funded enterprises. By the first half of 2021, foreign banks had set up 41 foreign-funded corporate banks, 115 branches and 139 representative offices in China, with a total of 930 business institutions and total assets of 3.73 trillion yuan. Overseas insurance institutions have set up 66 foreign-funded insurance institutions, 85 representative offices and 17 insurance professional intermediaries in China.
The opening of financial markets is conducive to China’s high-quality economic growth, and it is also conducive to global investors to share the fruits of China’s economic development. In recent years, China has continuously promoted the opening of the bond market, stock market and financial derivatives market in accordance with international standards, expanded cross-border investment and financing channels, and improved relevant institutional arrangements. In 2020, the quota restrictions for Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFII) and RMB Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (RQFII) will be completely abolished. In 2014 and 2016, Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect were opened one after another. In 2019, Huluntong was officially launched, and in 2021, the pilot of cross-border wealth management was launched. The investment channels of domestic and foreign investors are constantly expanding.
In September 2019, A shares were officially included in the S&P Emerging Markets Global Benchmark Index, indicating that all three international indexes have included A shares. In October, 2021, after FTSE Russell officially included China government bonds in FTSE government bond index, China government bonds were also successfully included in the three major bond indexes in the world.
With China’s opening up to the outside world entering a new stage, foreign-funded institutions have full confidence in RMB assets and strong allocation, and the demand for RMB assets has increased significantly. According to the official foreign exchange reserve currency composition (COFER) data released by the International Monetary Fund recently, in the fourth quarter of 2021, the proportion of RMB in COFER rose again, setting a new high since the fourth quarter of 2016. The proportion of RMB in global foreign exchange reserves rose from 2.66% in the third quarter of last year to 2.79%, ranking fifth in the world.

New Year’s Day holiday ushered in a good start! Beijing municipal parks received 217,900 visitors yesterday.

According to the Beijing Park Management Center, on the first day of the New Year holiday, 11 parks and China Garden Museum in Beijing, such as the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven and Beihai, got off to a good start. Yesterday, they received a total of 217,900 tourists, an increase of 88.01% year-on-year and an increase of 21.26% compared with 2019. The top three are the Summer Palace with 52,000 people, the Temple of Heaven with 50,800 people and the zoo with 21,300 people.
The 10th "Happy Ice-Snow Fitness" Famous Garden Ice-Snow Garden Party added fun to the public and attracted many tourists. In the Summer Palace, Beihai, Taoranting, Zizhuyuan and yuyuantan park, ice and snow activities are hot, tourists are enthusiastic, people skating and playing with snow are bustling, and there is a lively scene. As of 1 pm yesterday, five parks and ice rinks had received more than 10,000 tourists.
In Zizhuyuan Park, the most attractive ice and snow entertainment projects are the Snow Mountain Slide and the Ice Slide. There are 18 snow trails on the Snow Mountain Slide. Visitors can sit on the snow circle and roar down from the top of the slide, sliding for tens of meters and experiencing the excitement of flying on the snow. The large-scale ice slide extended to 70 meters is the "king of popularity" during the ice and snow season, and it flies down the ice track. This kind of fast feeling makes people shout: "exciting, fun!"
In yuyuantan park Sakura West Lake, the 15th Ice and Snow Season is being held. Citizen tourists, friends from three to five, or the whole family travel together, experience the flying saucer with speed and passion, take a cherry blossom-watching train "bound for spring" and feel a small snow tank "braving the wind and waves".

Rich film list! The summer box office in 2023 will return to the 10 billion era.


Special feature of 1905 film network In 2023, the Dragon Boat Festival entered the countdown and won at the starting line. At present, the total box office of the two films is more than 20 million, making them the top seed players.


With the opening of the Dragon Boat Festival, the balance in June is insufficient. In July, which played a connecting role in the summer file, with the addition of two foreign films, the lineup of films was more abundant.


Up to now, in 2023, many imported films have been booked and released in China. Coupled with a number of domestic blockbusters previously scheduled, the box office of the summer file in 2023 will return to the era of 10 billion.



Filmmakers hope that all the films in the schedule will sell well.


It has become normal for the imported movie "Bao Tuan" to land in the first month of the summer file.


The same is true in 2023, with 9 foreign films scheduled for June. Among them, "Transformers 7", "Speed and Passion 10" and many other foreign films are temporarily in the TOP10 of the single-chip box office list in June.


"First of all, many films are scheduled in North America in the summer, and the simultaneous release in the mainland can guarantee the box office revenue of the films. If they are shown later, the pirated resources will be leaked in advance and the plot will be spoiled." Cheng Fei, CEO of Top Data, shared his views on the phenomenon that many imported films choose to be released in summer. He admits that the summer file has a time span of three months, and for imported films, there is plenty of room for box office.


According to the statistics of Top Data’s summer box office in recent years, the primary factor for imported movies to achieve high box office during this period is the quality of film content. For example, in early May, under the premise of serious loss of foreign film audience, with excellent reputation, it achieved almost the same box office results as the previous film. At present, the film has exceeded 36.6 million yuan, ranking 9 th in the single box office list of the mainland film market in June.


Secondly, IP size is also an important factor affecting the box office performance of foreign films in summer. For example, Speed and Passion 10, which is being released, has won a cumulative box office of nearly 1 billion yuan with IP blessing, although its reputation is average.



At present, 20 films have been scheduled in July 2023. In terms of imported movies, Mission Impossible 7 has a high degree of market recognition. In terms of domestic films, etc., the online ticketing platform wants to see the top number of people.


Among these films, Cheng Fei said that "the box office of domestic films is greatly influenced by word of mouth, and the word-of-mouth feedback of the premiere of" octagonal cage "is positive; The "Enthusiasm" unveiled at the Shanghai Film Festival has received rave reviews in the industry; There is no word-of-mouth exposure in the production level, showing a large temperament; It attracted a large audience on the streaming media platform. " In terms of imported films, "Mission Impossible 7" was praised by overseas media in the early stage, or became the box office champion of imported films in summer.



For the cinema, the summer file is also an important schedule that affects the annual revenue.


"I think as a filmmaker, I may prefer to sell all the films in the schedule. After the epidemic, the whole industry is working hard from top to bottom. We don’t want only one explosive movie in a schedule, because one explosive can’t support the whole schedule. " Cai Xiaoxue, director of operation of UME Studios, bluntly said that the efforts of all parties in the film industry are aimed at creating a win-win situation of "letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend". Only when the schedule is good can the market remain dynamic.


At present, the 2023 summer movie list can be described as colorful. Cai Xiaoxue believes that this film list can attract more main moviegoers to enter the cinema. According to the characteristics of the scheduled passenger flow, UME Studios also launched preferential movie viewing activities for students and graduates.



Summer box office may return to the era of 10 billion


In 2019, it became a watershed in the summer box office of the mainland film market.


Since 2015, the overall box office of this period has exceeded the 10 billion mark for five consecutive years and reached a record high of 17.778 billion yuan in 2019. Since then, affected by the epidemic, the box office of the summer file fell to 7.181 billion yuan in 2021 and rose to 9.135 billion yuan in 2022.


By 6: 00 pm on June 20th, the box office of summer file in 2023 had reached 1.66 billion yuan, exceeding the level of the same period last year. In July, due to the rich types of films in the market and the balanced volume, the box office in a single month is expected to create a new high after the epidemic. August, etc., with a certain market recognition.


In this context, the summer file in 2023 is expected to return to the era of billions.



"The first mainland box office of the Megalodon series produced by our Chinese film industry sold for 1 billion yuan. The second new combination with Jason Statham will make the potential audience base even larger. " Cai Xiaoxue admits that he is full of confidence in the return of the summer file in 2023 to the era of 10 billion box office. In the August film list, she believes that Megalodon 2: Abyss can have a good box office performance.


Cheng Fei also believes that it is easier for the summer box office to exceed 10 billion in 2023, but it is difficult to challenge the best results in 2019. At the same time, he also admitted that the market could not reach the best level in history overnight and needed a gradual process. According to Top Box Office Forecast System, the summer box office in 2023 is expected to fluctuate from 11 billion yuan to 13 billion yuan.



As we all know, July and August have become the main ticket warehouses for summer files. According to statistics, in the last five summer vacations, July and August won the monthly box office champion for two times and three times respectively. With the coming of these two months, the competition in the summer movie market will become more intense.


In the summer of 2023, audiences hope to see more excellent films, and filmmakers hope to see more win-win situations. The upcoming Dragon Boat Festival will also set off a wave of movie climax.
