BEIJING, June 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- iQIYI, an innovative
market-leading online entertainment service in China, held its third annual North America
Content Showcase virtually on June
21, presenting a breadth of current and upcoming premium
original contents across genres. The rich slate of original titles
not only promises exciting viewing experience for iQIYI's global
users but also presents great opportunities for the Company's
partners in the North American market.
iQIYI has so far released over 7,000 episodes of Asian content
in over 200 countries and regions worldwide, allowing many titles
already popular at their home markets to achieve a new wave of
success with their global distribution. For instance, popular
Chinese dramas including Love Between Fairy and Devil,
New Life Begins, and The Knockout were a huge hit
among North American viewers. Original Korean and Thai content
launched by iQIYI International—including My Roommate is a
Gumiho and KinnPorsche The Series—also achieved
tremendous popularity in North
America.
This led Leo Geng, Senior Vice
President of iQIYI, to remark at the event that, "We have achieved
breakthrough success last year and remains committed to expanding
the offering of our premium content to our audiences and partners
in North America." He added, "We
are also excited to share that earlier this year, we launched the
Spanish version of platform with over 500 titles for our
Spanish-speaking audience. We are committed to further promoting
Asian content and achieving additional user growth in the North
American market."
Building on its strong momentum, iQIYI also unveiled a rich
slate of premium Chinese-language content to be released in global
markets during the event. Among the Chinese Originals are
"Destined," starring Bai Jingting and Song Yi, which tells the heartwarming love story
of two people with very different personalities in a misplaced
marriage. The story evolves from being conflicting to being
supportive. Sisterhood featuring Xiao Yan and Dai Xiangyu is a drama that tells
the legendary story of the samsui women, fighting for their rights
in the 1930s. Also in the slate is "Beauty of Resilience"
with Ju Jingyi and Fiction Guo, which tells the story of the male
and female protagonists going through several ups and downs
together to finally break the catastrophic fate of "Phoenix Nirvana
will shake the Three Realms."
Other Chinese original titles also in the pipeline
include Love You Seven Times, Rising With The
Wind, My Journey To You, The Demon Hunter's
Romance, Mysterious Lotus Casebook, Story of Kunning
Palace, Tiger, Crane, and many more.
iQIYI International also has upcoming contents for fans of
Korean dramas. The highly anticipated high-school drama Bitch X
Rich, starring Yeri and Lee
Eun-Saem, follows the story of two contrasting girls whose
destinies intertwine in unexpected ways amidst the extravagant
lives of the rich kids of Cheongdam. Adapted from the webtoon
Love Tractor, this k-drama series explores the journey of
Hyeon Yul (played by Do-won) who,
feeling lost in life, visits his grandfather's house in the
countryside and meets passionate young farmer Ye Chan (played by
Yoon Do-jin). As Hyeon Yul learns to
adapt to the rural lifestyle, he finds himself drawn to Ye Chan's
warm and straightforward nature.
Additionally, Korea's first men-only dating reality show His
Men has finally launched its second season. In this dating
variety show, the male guests will gather and stay together under
the same roof and ultimately confirm their true feelings towards
each other through various experiences. As the first male-only
dating reality show in Korea, His Men Season 2 has captured
the attention of many.
