The company revealed its latest content offerings and key
business updates at the event
BEIJING, Aug. 11,
2022 /CNW/ -- iQIYI, an innovative
market-leading online entertainment service in China, hosted its second North America Annual
Content Showcase on Aug. 10, an event
which serves to highlight the company's commitment to providing
more high-quality, original C-Content (Chinese-language content) to
viewers.
Leo Geng, Senior Vice President
of iQIYI said during the event, "We remain committed to creating
best-in-class Asian entertainment as we build an extensive offering
of high-quality content and make it more accessible for our North
American audiences and partners. As a result, over the next two
years, iQIYI will invest in the production of over 200 original
Chinese-language content to meet the diverse demands of its global
audience."
During the showcase, iQIYI's North American team featured a
selection of upcoming titles, including Love Between Fairy and
Devil and Mr. Bad, two much-anticipated shows from
iQIYI's Sweet On Theater. Love Between Fairy and Devil tells
the story of a young fairy (played by Esther Yu) and a devious warrior (played by
Dylan Wang). Mr. Bad is about
a novelist (played by Shen Yue) who
accidentally summons the villain (played by Chen Zheyuan) in the
novel she has written. These two shows are representative of the
Sweet On Theater, a collection that combines traditional mythology,
sci-fi, comedy and fantasy, around the core theme of
romance.
