Abstract
Until the beginning of this century, China’s film market had been monopolized by a few state-owned film makers. Even though privately-held movie companies are now allowed to produce movies thanks to the slight de-regulatory rules of the last decade, government clout over the industry is still strong. However, Huayi Brothers, a leading privately-held movie maker whose case will be discussed in this chapter, performed remarkably well despite this heavily regulated market environment by creating a unique business development model.
