BEIJING, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- iQIYI Inc.
(NASDAQ: IQ) ("iQIYI" or the "Company"), an innovative
market-leading online entertainment service in China, announced today that its original
action film "The Blizzard" will be screened at several movie
theaters in Canada starting
September 14th local
time.
"The Blizzard," directed by Jiang Kaiyang and starring
Nie Yuan, Tan Kai, and Qu Gaowei, tells a gripping story
of friendship and betrayal, as a policeman embarks on an emotional
pursuit of his former police academy classmate-turned-criminal,
which turns out be part of an even greater conspiracy. Nie Yuan was also a lead actor in this summer's
mega-hit costume drama "Story of Yanxi Palace", which has been
streamed over 15 billion times on the iQIYI platform.
"The Blizzard" is iQIYI's latest foray into the international
film market. Earlier this year, iQIYI expanded its partnership with
The H Collective, a Hollywood
production company. Under the agreement, iQIYI will co-produce or
invest in six films to be distributed to both the American and
Chinese markets.
One of the most high-profile projects to come out of the
partnership with The H Collective is the blockbuster film "xXx 4",
the fourth installment in the popular action film franchise
starring Vin Diesel. Chinese actor
Wang Yuan (also known as
Roy Wang), who is also a member of
China's hottest boy band TFBoys,
will play a leading role in xXx 4 alongside Vin Diesel. Production of the movie is expected
to start early next year.
