Double records + high reputation! iQIYI, Inc. Sponsored ADR Class A (IQ.US) split account dramas "Uncle" and "Mirage in Shanghai" performed brilliantly.

On January 15th, iQIYI's revenue-sharing drama "Uncle" broke 55 million yuan in the first month, successfully setting the record for the highest revenue-sharing amount for online drama and the highest record for online drama since 2024. At the same time, the fantasy suspense drama "Mirage" which was also popular on the platform during the same period, also received high acclaim with a Douban rating of 8.1. The outstanding performance of these two works in terms of popularity, word-of-mouth, and commercial revenue has confirmed the significant effectiveness of iQIYI's high-quality drama strategy. As a realistic masterpiece, "Uncle" is set in a small town in northeast China during the early days of reform and opening up. It focuses on the protagonist Cui Guoming (played by Guo Jingfei) and his life after being laid off, depicting his turbulent journey of trying to make a living multiple times to support his family, vividly portraying the human fireworks and the changes in fate in the 1990s. With its realistic narrative, vivid character portrayal, and sincere emotional core, the drama has continued to lead the market in terms of popularity after its release, reaching a peak in iQIYI's content popularity with over 8,000, and successfully entering the "Best Film Hall"; it scored 7.6 on Douban, firmly holding the highest opening score for family dramas since 2025, achieving dual recognition from mainstream audiences and professional critics. Another high-acclaimed work, "Mirage," has achieved differentiation breakthroughs in the genre of ancient fantasy suspense. The drama was created by the original team behind "Scam of the Century," focusing on the mysterious mirages that frequently appear in Dengzhou City, telling the story of the female swordsman Zeng Qian, the cunning Cao Sheng, the enigmatic Ye Xiao, and the skilled yet arrogant Xie Jingtang as they work together to uncover the truth behind the "Mirage." With a tight logical structure and an engaging storyline, the drama quickly gained acclaim, scoring 8.1 on Douban, where audiences praised its intellectual respect in the plot and the high quality of storytelling, making it a dark horse in the recent drama market. The outstanding performances of these two works reflect iQIYI's long-term cultivation and innovation in the field of revenue-sharing dramas. In recent years, iQIYI has continued to increase its investment in revenue-sharing dramas, establishing two major cooperation systems: the "Revenue-sharing Model" and the "Sharing the Same Taste Plan," providing creators with diversified cooperation options. The revenue-sharing model, through a tiered reward mechanism, further expands the revenue space for high-quality works, giving rise to a series of blockbuster works such as "Twinkle Twinkle Brilliant Stars," "Traceless," "Wipe Out," and "Deep in the Crime Scene"; the "Sharing the Same Taste" plan, through the platform's early investment, shares the revenue results with partners after the content is broadcast, effectively reducing the upfront investment risks for creators and helping high-quality works achieve better market returns.
