Viewers turned to traditional favorites like drama series, films, and animation, while light and entertaining genres such as comedy and variety shows saw exceptional growth, and short-form content continued to gain popularity as a general trend.

A Rich Selection of Premium Content Continues to Captivate Viewers

Drama series continued to dominate holiday content consumption on iQIYI, leading the viewing time across genres. New releases such as Born To Be The One, The Limbo, Wind Direction, Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2: To the West, and Go East quickly entered the top 10 on the popularity chart, followed by iQIYI’s evergreen hits like The Knockout and Story of Kunning Palace, which continued to rank in the top 20 as popular picks for repeat viewing.

Viewers showed stronger interests in films, as evidenced by a 70% surge in viewing time for iQIYI’s film channel compared to the previous period, with 29 titles newly added between September 30 and October 7. By the end of the holiday, four films – Successor, Go For Broke, Upstream, and A Place Called Silence – ranked in the platform’s top 10 most popular content.

Notably, the comedy film Successor, which led the 2024 Chinese mainland summer box office, set a new record on iQIYI’s film popularity index with a score of 9,247. The iQIYI-presented action film Blade of Fury also received high ratings for its high-quality production.

Viewing time for variety shows also experienced both annual and sequential growth, with a 37% yearly uptick. The hit show The King of Stand-up Comedy led in both viewing time and popularity, bringing constant laughs to audiences. Other popular IPs also maintained strong following, highlighting their lasting appeal. For example, seasons 1, 2 and a spinoff of Become a Farmer all secured spots in the top 5 for variety show viewing time.

Holiday data further revealed a significant jump in viewing time for iQIYI’s animation and kids’ content, rising by 69% and 35%, respectively. The iconic series One Piece claimed the top spot on the animation popularity chart, followed closely by How Dare You!, an iQIYI original production. PAW Patrol Season 10 emerged as the most popular title among kids’ content, standing out within iQIYI’s rich library of engaging programming for young viewers.

Short-Form Content Emerging as a New Choice for Viewers

To meet the increasing demand for concise storytelling and short-form content, iQIYI recently launched brand-new ‘Micro-Drama Theater’ and ‘Short-Drama Theater’ at its iJOY conference held last month. It also curated a dedicated section on its homepage to highlight such content during the holiday, featuring popular titles like Awaken Lion and The Great Nobody.

With a variety of genres, from suspense to period romance, iQIYI’s short dramas have resonated with viewers of all ages. The period drama Hard Noble Lady surpassed RMB6 million (US$850,000) in shared revenue by October 1 and broke through the RMB7 million mark (US$1 million) by October 8.

New micro-dramas also received a positive market response, with The Obsessive Boss achieving a popularity score of 4,500 within 24 hours of release, gathering over 40 million views from 4 million viewers.

Furthermore, iQIYI recently announced that, starting in October, the new ‘Micro-Drama Theater’ will debut two mobile-optimized vertical dramas each week, with episodes lasting 1 to 5 minutes, aimed at both younger and older viewers.

Simultaneously, the ‘Short-Drama Theater’ will release one new title weekly, offering episodes between 5 and 20 minutes across various genres, further expanding the platform’s content library.

PLEASANTON, Calif., Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DermRays, a leader in home beauty technology, is excited to announce the upcoming launch of the V8S Pro, a next-generation laser hair removal device, anticipated for release in Spring 2025. Building on the success of its second-generation home hair removal and multi-functional laser beauty device introduced in 2023, the V8S Pro promises enhanced performance with a large-diameter 810nm laser, which has garnered acclaim for its effectiveness.

 

Since its launch, the initial device has received rave reviews, with over 97% of customers expressing satisfaction. The positive feedback has inspired DermRays to develop at least two new laser hair removal devices that will feature increased energy output and smarter functionalities, enhancing the overall user experience.

The V8S Pro represents DermRays’ commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction in the beauty technology sector. With advanced features and user-friendly design, it aims to revolutionize at-home hair removal.

“This thing really works, I’m so impressed with it I can’t say enough good About it. Had it since December and already by February hair is coming in softer and less… get this diode laser forget an IPL” — from Amazon

“So far its been a good experience, I cannot say the hair growth is gone because it takes months to achieve. I do see “less” hair growth. The unit is also very good quality and it does not hurt at all. Very easy to use!” — from Trustpilot

“I believe the V8S is close to a perfect at home laser hair removal device BUT the energy of up to 9 joules (27 joules combined) is still on the softer side. It needs to get slightly improved for better and more permanent results. However, product is very made and overall customer experience is really good. Looking for a even more powerful DermRay device.” — from DermRays.com

“I am impressed! I got this device to permanently remove facial hair. I have always had thick dark side burns and as I get older then odd chin hair has turned into a few patches of coarse dark hair. I have and the device for 3 weeks and have seen a significant reduction in growth speed and about a 25% reduction in over all hair growth.

Pros:

I have seen a reduction in both hair growth and growth speed.
The device is easy to use and quick. Including prep time it takes about 20- 30 minutes for my face and legs.
After only 3 weeks hair is slower to grow is finer and have fewer hairs growing back.

Cons:

It is not painless especially for thick dark hairs like a beard or side burns.
I have had less success with the hairs on the sides of my chin because the device is hard to place properly in the less flat areas of the face.
I am beyond pleased with this device so far and believe with some trial and error I can get the chin hairs too.” — from Amazon
