How many steps does it take to make a movie?

There are seven steps before the film is released:

1, create the script, complete the running-in, and send the script to SARFT for review and filing.

2. After the record is passed, we will start financing and sign the director and creative team.

3, group building, film crew and service into the group.

4. At the opening ceremony, the actors started shooting in groups.

5. After the filming is completed, send the film to SARFT for review, and get it to Dragon Label for release after the review.

6. Tell me about the cinema, and prepare to show it.

7. Income from issuance and settlement.

The steps a movie goes through from preparation to release are beyond imagination, especially some blockbusters. It may take years just to prepare in advance. For example, director Chen Kaige spent six years preparing The Legend of the Cat and the Demon, and also built a special film and television base in Tang Cheng.

This is also a reason why many films have been talked about for a long time, and it is also a reason why film crowdfunding is more risky than film copyright subscription. After all, filming is still a very professional thing, and only people who really need movies can shoot.

Of course, if investors are familiar with the film production process, it is also helpful to make a comprehensive judgment on the film: which scenes are difficult to shoot, how long the cycle may be, and when is the best time to enter.
