iQIYI premiered 'Fangs of Fortune' in late October as part of its 'Love On Theater' collection, a fantasy period drama inspired by 'The Classic of the Mountains and Seas.' Upon its release on October 26, the drama achieved a content popularity index surpassing 8,500, sparking widespread discussion on Chinese social media.

'Fangs of Fortune' is iQIYI's third virtual production, following 'My Journey to You' and 'Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact,' and pushes the boundaries of virtual production in Chinese television. The drama achieved precise HDR color management, virtual light matching, seamless blending of virtual and physical sets, realistic virtual sky and climate simulation, and 200+ FPS high-speed filming.

iQIYI has led the application of virtual production technology since late 2020, building a 'Digital Asset Library' and its proprietary AI-powered IQStage virtual production system. The production of 'Fangs of Fortune' utilized innovative solutions, including an electric revolving stage that ensures synchronized rotation between physical and virtual sets, significantly reducing conversion times and setting a standard for efficiency and quality in China.
