正片 (zhèng piàn) — positive (photographic print); film copy; master copy; feature film

Definition

正片 has three distinct senses: in photography, the final positive print; in film production, the master copy or release print; and colloquially, a 'feature film' (as opposed to a short or trailer). The right translation depends entirely on context.
