"We feel immensely proud to see the astounding success of 'Story of Yanxi Palace' this summer, and the mark it has left on popular culture," said Dr. Gong Yu, founder and CEO of iQIYI. "In the production process of "Story of Yanxi Palace", we deliberately cast lesser known actors with the most promising talent, rejecting recent trends in Chinese industry that put too much emphasis of the celebrity appeal of actors in their productions. The remarkable reception seen by the show proves that this was the right choice, once again validating iQIYI's focus on producing and selecting only the highest quality content. This is the model that iQIYI has always adhered to, and we will not swerve from this vision - Chinese entertainment fans know that the iQIYI brand is a mark of great content."

Following the show's enthusiastic reception domestically, "Story of Yanxi Palace" has also crossed language and cultural barriers to reach significant success outside mainland China, and is now viewable in over 70 countries and regions. The show has been distributed to major TV channels and platforms across Asia , being the most watched program in Hong Kong on TVB in its second week of airing. The show has also proved immensely popular outside Asia, becoming one of the most watched licensed Chinese language dramas on Youtube this year.
