Taipei, April 15 (CNA) "The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon" achieved high box office success in China, but it has unexpectedly led to a financial dispute. Producer Li Lie and production company "A Kind of Attitude" recently stated they only received 20% of the revenue. In response, overseas distributor San San Xi Xi issued a statement clarifying that they have not disappeared and the accounting settlement process is still underway.
Media previously reported that despite the high box office, shareholders had only received about 20% of the revenue in the past two years. "A Kind of Attitude" Film Co., Ltd. and the production units (collectively referred to as "the declarants") stated that they have currently only received 20% of the receivable China box office revenue. The overseas and China distribution of this film is handled by Jeffrey Chan, General Manager of Distribution Workshop (BVI) Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (formerly Distribution Workshop (BVI) Ltd.). Investigations revealed that the Chinese distribution unit had almost entirely handed over the funds due to Taiwan to Jeffrey Chan, but these funds were not subsequently delivered.
Today, overseas distributor "San San Xi Xi" Co., Ltd. and its General Manager Jeffrey Chan issued a statement clarifying the recent announcement by "A Kind of Attitude" Film Co., Ltd. regarding the distribution of box office revenue for the movie "The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon" in mainland China. San San Xi Xi stated that the collection of box office revenue and cross-border distribution in mainland China for "The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon" involves a complex chain of authorization contracts, box office reconciliation, tax processing, fund disbursement nodes, and related administrative review procedures. Practically, it is relatively complicated and must follow relevant laws and procedures.
San San Xi Xi emphasized that the relevant settlement procedures are still ongoing as per the agreement. Before the facts and accounts are confirmed, the public is urged not to hastily accuse San San Xi Xi of refusing to perform its obligations, misappropriating funds, or engaging in other illegal activities.
Regarding the rumors that San San Xi Xi's manager, Jeffrey Chan, has disappeared and that the accounts are unclear, the statement pointed out that these rumors are untrue. (Editor: Li Hengshan) 1150415
