Huanyu Entertainment—also referred to as Huanyu Film and Television or simply Huanyu Film—is a Chinese production company and talent agency established in 2012 by television producers Yu Zheng and Yang Le. The company’s main office is located in Chaoyang District, Beijing.
History
Founded in 2012, Huanyu Entertainment has developed into a significant entity within China's entertainment sector. The 2018 costume drama Story of Yanxi Palace, broadcast on iQIYI, garnered more than 15 billion views and notably expanded the company’s international footprint via various streaming services. Despite the limitations on search engines in China, this series became the most searched-for television show worldwide in 2018.
Since then, Huanyu has expanded its collaborations with leading media corporations such as HBO, FOX, Netflix, and Disney+, thereby broadening its content distribution capabilities and influence throughout the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
In August 2021, Huanyu inaugurated the Huanyu Entertainment Cultural Museum in Hengdian, Zhejiang province. This institution stands as China’s first museum focused on film and television themes, dedicated to preserving intangible cultural heritage.
By January 2023, the company furthered its efforts to promote Chinese culture internationally by presenting traditional costumes and crafts at Singapore’s "New Colors of Chinese Spring" Lantern Festival. The display included wardrobe pieces from productions like The Legend of Haolan and Winter Begonia.
Productions
Huanyu Entertainment's portfolio of television productions spans from 2003 through 2025, featuring a broad range of series primarily centered on historical and romantic narratives. Key works include Beauty's Rival in Palace (2010), the widely popular Palace franchise (2011–2014), and the critically acclaimed Story of Yanxi Palace (2018). The company consistently creates content tailored to appeal to both domestic audiences and international viewers by combining engaging storylines with high production standards.
