In 2003, SARFT permitted foreign companies to enter the Chinese film-production business. The liberalization of film policy has resulted in investment opportunities for private enterprise and increased the number of films made from an average of about 100 per year in 2001 to about 400 per year since 2007.
政策的開放，讓民間看到了投資機會，中國電影產量也從 2001 年前平均每年 100 部的歷史徘徊數字，2004 年突破 200 部，2007 年再翻一倍，增加到 400 部，至今一直維持在這個高檔數字。
