Yeogwigyo is a horror film about students playing a campus ghost story augmented reality (AR) game who are trapped in a taboo quest and face the curse of the ghost story and the reality of evil spirits. According to the company, the work ranked first in Taiwan’s box office and first on Netflix when it was released in Taiwan on the 13th of last month. BLADE ENT is producing The Insferables (directed by Jeremy Degrusson) and The Three Musketeers Parts 1 and 2 (Martin Brusson) by early next year, including the next film ‘The Four Seasons of Lipse’ by director Dorota Kobiela, who directed the Polish animation ‘Loving Vincent’. We are preparing for the release of four foreign films, including Land of Bad (directed by William Eubank). The company’s foreign content business is led by Director Cho Young-yong, who has worked in domestic distribution and marketing for 23 years at CJ ENM and other companies. Director Cho has participated in the distribution of more than 100 works so far and is a content distribution expert responsible for the distribution of ‘Roaring Currents’, ‘Extreme Job’, and ‘Ode to My Father’. An official from Blade Entertainment said, “We will distribute about 20 foreign films and films by the end of next year. “We plan to import and distribute animation,” he said, “and are expected to expand our business area to include overseas distribution of Southeast Asian content in the second half of 2204.”
