iQIYI, a leading provider of online entertainment video services in China, recently wrapped up its first 'Action Master' season, marking a significant milestone in the realm of martial arts cinema.

According to industry experts, the resurgence of martial arts cinema reflects a renewed interest in the genre, driven by innovative storytelling and audience engagement strategies. As the entertainment landscape evolves, platforms such as iQIYI are well-positioned to continue delivering compelling content to global audiences.
