Huayi Brothers, one of China’s leading filmmakers, has listed itself on ChiNext with an eye toward raising 620 million Chinese yuan ($91 million) in an IPO. ChiNext is a new board for smaller companies which plans to launch on the southern Shenzhen Stock Exchange later this year.

Huayi Brothers CEO Wang Zhonglei says a successful IPO by his company will help other studios tap a new source of funding for their film productions.
