On March 18, Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FILMART) – Asia’s largest film and television trade market-was teeming with activity. Amidst the bustling halls, Huace Group booth drew a diverse international crowd, captivated by the “Oriental scroll” unfolding on screen: the historical Chinese drama Swords into Plowshares, which is currently sweeping the globe. During the market, Huace Group presented a slate of key series including Swords into Plowshares, The Heir, and War and People. The creative team behind Swords into Plowshares also made intensive appearances at several high-profile events. Since its January debut, the series has reached 73 countries and regions in over 11 languages, and becoming a phenomenal start for Chinese content exports in 2026. A Single Series Sparks Tourism in Multiple Cities CEO of Huace Group Invites Viewers: “Travel China with Swords into Plowshares” “I warmly invite global audiences to visit Zhejiang, to recognize the beauty of China appears in Swords into Plowshares, walking the landscapes and feeling China through the series’ poetic imagery and moving stories,” CEO of Huace Group, Fu Binxing said in a keynote address at the “Forum on International Comminication Cooperation and Innovation for a New Vision” on March 17, extending a heartfelt invitation to the show’s global viewers. Set in the same era when Otto I was campaigning in Italy to establish the Holy Roman Empire in the West, China in the East was also mired in the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Swords into Plowshares follows three young heroes who meet amid the chaos—Qian Hongshu, Zhao Kuangyin, and Guo Rong—each enduring war and separation, steadfastly fulfilling their duties, presenting a panoramic portrait of war and peace of ancient China. This invitation from the CEO of Huace Group stems from the unprecedented cultural tourism trend sparked by the show. As the drama gained popularity, it triggered a “one show, multiple cities” phenomenon across Zhejiang and the rest of China. Cities featured in the plot, such as Hangzhou, Taizhou, Taiyuan, and Kaifeng, have seen a massive influx of tourists, allowing audiences to step off the screen and into the scenery to experience a thousand-year-old vision of peace. “When Hearts Connect, Stories Resonate” Decoding the Global Success of Swords into Plowshares Since its January premiere, Swords into Plowshares has debuted on over 12 major international platforms, covering 73 countries and regions. On YouTube, it has surpassed 10 million views with total exposure exceeding 100 million, successfully breaking through cultural barriers. The series has also received high industry praise at international festivals in Cannes, Tokyo, and Singapore, marking a successful transition from merely “going abroad” to “going deep” into local markets. Wang Yan, the Producer of Swords into Plowshares, provided an in-depth look at how the series achieved such global resonance. She noted that from the project’s inception, the focus was on international positioning: creating a high-quality, international historical epic. The production utilized 8K standards and ultra-high-definition technology, with a professional cast of over 200 actors meticulously matched to their roles. “Everything was done for one purpose: to allow everyone to have an immersive experience,” she said. “Only when we believe in it and enter that world ourselves can the audience be drawn into the story”. Wang Yan believes that while technology is the shell, the core remains key. The title Swords into Plowshares captures the “soul” of the show, expressing a desire for peace over conflict. This compassion for life and longing for peace are universal human emotions. “Ultimately, international expression isn’t about simplifying history; it’s about excavating the essential, shared emotions of humanity,” Wang Yan said. One overseas viewer commented, “To understand the past is to see the future clearly”. By tapping into these deep layers, cultural barriers are dismantled: “When hearts connect, stories resonate”. Huace Group Releases 2026 Line-up Bringing More Chinese Stories Across the Seas The global journey of Swords into Plowshares is far from over. During this FILMART, Huace Group booth hosted over a hundred meetings with overseas buyers from North America, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines. Several international platforms reached new cooperations on-site, further strengthening the global distribution network of Huace Group. The global influence of Swords into Plowshares is part of a broader trend. Huace Group has long pursued a “China Wave” strategy, having distributed nearly 180,000 hours of content to over 200 countries and regions. Its self-operated Huace multi-channel network covers 20 languages with over 58 million overseas subscribers. Other recent global successes include Meet Yourself, which brought the “healing breeze” of Dali to the world; Flourished Peony, which captivated audiences with its exquisite Oriental aesthetics; and contemporary dramas like Go Ahead, which showcase the lives of modern Chinese youth. On the evening of March 18, Huace Group held its “Unound Stories, New Experiences” networking event in Hong Kong, attended by nearly 200 representatives from global media and film institutions. The event featured a heavyweight release of key drama projects, including Swords into Plowshares, The Heir, Sentencing, You are My Fateful Love, Blossom, I Live in Your Time, Now or Never, The Garden of Missing Paths, War and People, and A Simply Jane. Additionally, Huace Group plans to launch over ten mid-to-short-form series such as Zizhi Tongjian and Journey to the West, while actively applying AIGC to explore new paradigms of human-machine collaborative creation. From historical epics to modern realism, and from premium long-form series to innovative content formats, Huace Group is driven by “premium content” and “technological empowerment”. This dual engine is building a new pattern of international communication—moving from “going global” to “going in” and finally “integrating in”. As Fu Binxing stated at the forum: “Huace Group is willing to work with the utmost sincerity to invite global creators, tech companies, platforms, and investors to build a ‘Smart Cultural & Creative Community.’ Let more Chinese stories carrying shared human emotions fly to every corner of the world on the wings of innovative technology”

Nicosia, Cyprus – March 17, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – FinHarbor recently announced a major update to its modular fintech infrastructure platform, expanding its crypto-fiat functionality and introducing a deeper orchestration layer across all modules. The updated platform bundles IBAN accounts, card issuing, payments and crypto-fiat exchange into a single stack, reducing typical launch timelines from more than a year to roughly one month. The company positions the platform as a ready-to-deploy foundation for fintech startups, embedded finance teams and licensed institutions that want to bring a financial product to market without building the entire stack internally. The problem it addresses Launching a neobank from scratch is still a long and expensive process. Most teams need 15–20 engineers, more than a year of development, and roughly €1.5–2 million before the first customer can even open an account. FinHarbor’s approach is to remove much of that upfront work. The platform comes with core components already integrated: pre-built connectors to banking partners for IBAN and account infrastructure, card processing, payment rails, and crypto wallets. In practice, this means companies can start with a working financial product instead of assembling and connecting multiple vendors themselves. What changed in the new release The main change in the latest version is the introduction of a unified orchestration layer. Earlier versions of the platform offered modular components that could be connected together. The updated release adds a shared data model, a single audit log and compliance logic that operates across all modules. Clients now integrate through one API and operate under a single contract, while still keeping the option to replace individual components if needed. On the crypto side the platform has added extended custody capabilities for clients with specific blockchain integration requirements, broadening the range of supported networks and asset types. The compliance and AML tooling has also been updated, making it easier to configure the system to match each client’s internal policies and risk frameworks across different jurisdictions. A recent deployment in four weeks One EU-licensed fintech company recently used the updated platform to launch a full neobank in 28 days, including IBAN accounts, card issuance and crypto-fiat exchange. The first week focused on core infrastructure: setting up the environment, integrating identity verification through SumSub, and connecting to the banking partner’s IBAN account infrastructure. During the second week the team activated card issuing and configured the platform’s connections to SEPA, SWIFT, and international payment rails provided by the licensed banking partner. The third week introduced the crypto layer – custodial wallets, exchange logic and fiat ramps. The final week was dedicated to integration testing, white-label interface customisation and the production launch. According to the company, the only noticeable delays were related to compliance approvals with the partner bank – a regulatory step rather than a technical limitation. Industry perspective “The new release is based on a simple idea: orchestration matters more than integration,” – said Ilya Podoynitsyn, CEO of FinHarbor. “Connecting APIs from several vendors isn’t the difficult part. The real challenge is making those components behave like a single product – with unified compliance rules, a shared audit trail and enough flexibility to avoid vendor lock-in. That’s the engineering problem we focused on solving.” Compliance and target users The platform includes built-in AML transaction monitoring, sanctions screening and configurable verification tiers. Suspicious activity reports can be generated in formats accepted by regulators, and every system action is recorded in a unified audit log accessible through the admin panel or API. Companies can operate under their own EMI, PI or VASP licence, or work through a licensed banking partner. The platform is designed to support both models and is aligned with regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and DORA. FinHarbor says the platform is primarily aimed at three types of clients: fintech startups launching an MVP, companies adding embedded financial services to an existing product, and regulated institutions – including banks or government organisations – that need on-premise infrastructure. It is best suited for companies looking to launch and iterate quickly on a proven infrastructure, rather than building every component from scratch. About FinHarbor FinHarbor is a technical platform provider for launching compliant, modular financial products – from wallets and neobanks to crypto ramps and OTC desks. Built on years of real-world fintech experience, the platform covers onboarding, compliance, wallets, transactions, cards, and reporting, delivered with a microservice-based architecture (ISO/PCI DSS-certified), a robust API layer, and on-premise or cloud-ready deployment. FinHarbor supports fiat-only, crypto-native, and hybrid business models across markets in Europe, MENA, and beyond.

The Singapore-headquartered platform helps brands improve content reach and conversion in the era of short-form video and interest-based e-commerce. SINGAPORE – March 16, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As short-form video continues to reshape how information spreads and how consumers engage with brands, efficient collaboration between brands and creators has become increasingly important. Hello IP was built to address this need. Hello IP is a content distribution platform focused on social and interest-based e-commerce. By enabling brands to upload ready-made video content and distribute it through local creators across social platforms, Hello IP helps reduce the complexity of traditional creator collaborations, improve campaign efficiency, and create more sustainable monetization opportunities for creators. Under traditional creator marketing models, brands often face lengthy workflows that include influencer sourcing, repeated negotiation, contract signing, sample shipping, content review, and payment settlement. These processes can be slow, costly, and difficult to manage, especially in cross-border campaigns where shipping risks, inconsistent content quality, and uncertain outcomes remain common challenges. Hello IP offers a more efficient alternative. After brands upload content to the platform, creators can select tasks that match their style, audience, and interests, then distribute that content through their own channels. This model helps brands gain more localized and authentic exposure while allowing creators to earn performance-based rewards. To support faster market expansion, Hello IP has developed its core distribution system, Viral Engine, which combines creator distribution, influencer collaboration, advertising support, and cross-market strategies. The platform is currently active in mature TikTok e-commerce markets across Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with content able to reach targeted creator communities in as little as 24 hours. For creators, Hello IP provides access to daily brand campaigns across categories such as beauty, mobile apps, e-commerce, and gaming. By lowering collaboration barriers and simplifying campaign participation, the platform helps creators unlock more stable income opportunities and build long-term commercial value. Mao Jianfeng, Founder of Hello IP, said, “In today’s creator economy, brands need content distribution models that are more efficient, scalable, and closely connected to local markets. Hello IP aims to build a smoother connection between brands and creators so that both sides can grow together.” As digital marketing enters a new phase, Hello IP’s connector model is creating a more efficient and inclusive path forward for the content ecosystem. About Hello IP Hello IP is one of ET CUBE’s core business pillars in the creator economy, focused on content distribution for social and interest-based e-commerce.
