With the global economic development practice and economic theory constantly evolving, the mainstream of the system of national economic accounting (System of National Accounts: SNA-1993) has not accurately reflected the growth of national wealth, the differences in the quality of economic development or the true state of intellectual property and other intangible assets [1]. According to the data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the United States mainly uses the method of net present value of future income to capitalize the production expenditure of entertainment products, the specific steps are as follows: 1) estimates of the total current revenues of licence fees, sales of commodities, ticket sales, etc.; 2) to deduct the cost of advertising, reproduction and other markets from the total current income, and calculate the net income; 3) to adjust the net income by using the investment ratio of the Bureau of Economic Analysis to include only the original product; 4) using the net present value adjustment factor to adjust the value of the net income, with the aim of deducing the current investment value from these new works of future earnings [7] This method can only be used for reference to Chinese relevant research from the macro accounting method, and China still does not have the conditions to implement this method.
