History

edit

Huanyu Entertainment was founded in 2012 by Yu Zheng and Yang Le, both television producers from mainland China.[1][2]

In 2018, Huanyu Entertainment's costume drama Story of Yanxi Palace, which was broadcast on iQIYI, amassed over 15 billion views on the platform.[3] The series was subsequently broadcast in overseas markets on multiple streaming services.[4] Story of Yanxi Palace ultimately became the most Googled television series of 2018, despite the search engine being heavily restricted in China.[5]

The company has since expanded its partnership with more media networks including HBO,[6] FOX,[7] Netflix,[8] and Disney+.[9][10]

In August 2021, Huanyu Entertainment established the Huanyu Entertainment Cultural Museum in Hengdian city, Zhejiang, China. This is the first "Film & Television" themed museum dedicated to promoting China's intangible cultural heritage.[11]

In January 2023, Huanyu Entertainment showcased traditional Chinese costumes and crafts at the "New Colors of Chinese Spring" Lantern Festival in Singapore, featuring attire from productions like The Legend of Haolan and Winter Begonia. This event highlighted the company's efforts to promote Chinese culture internationally.[12]
