Industry insiders say that the rapid development of the film and television industry at this stage makes many investors begin to pay attention to the investment opportunities behind film and television projects. Some lawbreakers see loopholes, take advantage of investors' blind respect for film and television crowdfunding, do not have a deep understanding of the industry, and engage in illegal fund-raising or fraud in the name of "investment" and "financial management".

in this regard, some people in the industry said, "the risk of film investment is relatively high, and the general fund products will choose to control the risk with the investment of 5 to 10 films when designing."

Crowdfunding home CEO Wang Zhengran reminded investors to inquire about the authenticity of information about funds and financial products through formal channels.

Films with a production cost of 100 million yuan need at least 300 million yuan at the box office, and royalties are more than 60 percent." This line of water is very deep, and domestic film production has not yet been industrialized, and many things are not standard and opaque. "
