Pitch Deck & Treatment Design

Pitch decks for the Chinese market sit where creative storytelling meets a very specific funding and regulatory landscape. Foreign shoots must first clear NRTA script pre-approval before filming. A CFCC application for co-production status unlocks full theatrical release and skips the foreign film quota. Talks run with China Film Group, Huayi Brothers, Bona Film Group and Alibaba Pictures, plus private investors tied to Tencent Pictures and iQiyi. Each of these carries its own template of expectation.

Our designers order narrative, comparable titles, market analysis and financial projections to mirror how NRTA reviewers, CFCC officers and studio commissioners actually read a project. The deck stays clear for global partners too, who weigh a China-set film against Zhang Yimou-era benchmarks and the box-office reality set by Frant Gwo's Wandering Earth franchise.

Each project starts with a strategy session on creative vision, audience positioning and the funding or regulatory stage you face. Next comes a visual design pass that draws on a library of China-specific reference material. That includes location plates from Beijing's imperial axis, Shanghai's Bund, the Great Wall, Zhangjiajie, the Li River and Hengdian World Studios. It also brings infographics built around Qingdao's 40% Oriental Movie Metropolis rebates, the Wuxi, Xiamen and Hainan provincial incentives, China Film Co-Production status, 17% VAT recovery and the NRTA approval calendar with its four-to-twelve-week lead times.

We deliver decks within seventy-two hours and coach your rehearsals for in-person pitches. Those run at the Shanghai International Film Festival, the Beijing International Film Festival co-production market and the Jia Zhangke-curated Pingyao Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon International Film Festival. The result is a document that can carry a project from a Sanlitun development meeting to a Cannes or AFM conversation without losing its centre of gravity.
