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.
iQIYI is well-known amongst Generation Z in North America , and continues to introduce content suiting the interest of young adult and teen audiences. The Heart of Genius , which was released last month, follows a teen girl (played by Zhang Zifeng) alongside her father (played by Lei Jiayin) and her first love Pei Zhi (played by Zhang Xincheng). This is a story of the pursuit of truth and love between the three main characters.
Meanwhile, Checkmate is a Chinese adaptation of the iconic Hercule Poirot series from Agatha Christie . Lost In the Kunlun Mountains is the new series starring Xu Kai , who is known for his previous role in series such as Falling Into Your Smile . In Fox Spirit Matchmaker 1 follows a romantic story starring lead actors Yang Mi and Gong Jun. In Love You Seven Times, Yang Chaoyue and Ding Yuxi come together in a story about two fairies who are banished to the mortal world.
