It depends who you are asking.

Video producers, potential customers, or yourself.

I never heard of set video production rates in Yunnan, let alone China.

Unless you are working for a major Hollywood production company.

You can make your own prices, it ranges from you cost and troubles.

It also depends on what you are producing.

A wedding video, usually is round and about 6000 kuai, not including extras and troubles.

I also heard people charging 40000 kuai for an exclusive wedding flick.

Music videos start from NIL, to 100000 kuai. Depending on the band or benefits you are looking for. And again depending what your troubles and costs are.

Advertisements have a similar price range, depending on the platform you are targeting, airing time, if known.

If you film a taobao infomercial, I wouldn't get my hopes up too much.

Most of the stuff looks like it's filmed in a cave with a 200kuai mobile phone.
Looking at their production value, it looks like you get paid a hot meal or less.

weddings always cost more than they should because it is one of those events where people cant look stingy. Even hawking around, tyhe market rates are all inflated. ads and commercial work, you can hawk around more.

Filming and editing are two separate things.

FWIW I have had a few short (~3-5 minute) videos (already filmed) professionally edited recently for very reasonable rates... executed within a day, and under 800/minute. Very happy with output quality and service.

I can give you the editor I used's contact details if you wish, send me a PM.
