The cultural business is recovering at the same time that the industry is recovering, and the two projects are expected to be performed within the year. In the first half of 2021, the revenue of the cultural and performing arts sector was 29 million yuan, accounting for 1.11%, a sharp drop of 77.41% over the previous year, mainly due to a decrease in project production revenue. The business situation of the company's series of cultural tourism and performing arts projects has basically recovered at the same time as the industry. The cumulative number of visitors received recovered to 70% in the same period in 2019, an increase of 456.8% over the same period in 2020; box office revenue recovered to 65% in the same period in 2019, an increase of 519.2% over 2020.

Affected by the revenue structure, gross margin and net interest rate have both declined. The company's total assets were 7.704 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 49.99%; Guimu's net assets were 4.644 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 20.45%. The company's gross margin was 16.70%, down 25.37 percentage points from the previous year; the net profit margin was 7.65%, down 7.41 percentage points from the previous year. Mainly due to the decline in revenue from cultural businesses with high gross margins, the real estate business was affected by the housing delivery cycle, and carry-over income from some projects increased compared to the same period last year. In terms of debt structure, the company's balance ratio was 43.51%, down 19.83 percentage points from the previous year; the net debt ratio was 0.64%; the balance ratio after excluding contract liabilities and advance accounts was 31.89%, down 15 percentage points from the previous year; monetary capital was 1,444 billion yuan, down 52.40% from the previous year
