For works belonging to the genre of audiovisual adaptation of live performances, where the sums calculated exceed a ceiling corresponding to one and a half times the amount of the cash contribution from the television service publisher(s) or the amount of the cash contribution from the on-demand audiovisual media service publisher(s), meeting the conditions laid down in 1° or 2° of Article 311-8, they are only retained up to this ceiling.
To determine the ceiling, cash contributions from one or more television service publishers established abroad in the form of contracts for the purchase of broadcasting rights concluded before the date of completion of the work are also taken into account. The contract may be concluded either directly with the delegated production company, or with the holder of the marketing mandate or the assignee of the rights to exploit the work abroad.
