How it's used
This term specifically refers to the financial backer or the legal representative of the production company rather than the hands-on line producer or director. It carries a sense of authority and business oversight, often implying the person who holds the purse strings and final decision-making power. You will frequently see this title listed in the opening credits of Hong Kong films.
