Global Mofy AI Limited (GMM.US)'s Mofy VFX Powers iQIYI Mist Theatre Crime Series Hit Justice in the Shadows with Visual Effects Production

BEIJING, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Mofy AI Limited (the “Company” or “Global Mofy”) (Nasdaq: GMM), a generative AI-driven technology solutions provider engaged in virtual content production and the development of 3D digital assets, today announced that its visual effects brand, Mofy VFX, provided visual effects (“VFX”) production services for the 16-episode crime drama series Justice in the Shadows.

The series, adapted from Lei Mi’s novel Old Boy and directed by Teng Huatao, is produced by iQIYI, with co-producers Yuewen Pictures, New Classics Media and Inverse Mapping. It premiered exclusively on iQIYI’s Mist Theatre on February 23, 2026.

According to iQIYI’s launch performance report, the series achieved an in-platform popularity score exceeding 7,705 on its launch day, with total pre-release reservations reaching approximately 1.59 million. The show ranked Top 1 across multiple iQIYI charts, including Overall Rising Chart, Overall Anticipation Chart, TV Series Rising Chart, TV Series Anticipation Chart, and TV Crime Genre Chart, while also placing Top 3 on both the Overall Trending Search Chart and TV Series Trending Search Chart. In addition, it entered iQIYI’s New Releases Top 5 and Hot Broadcast Top 5. These early performance indicators reflect strong initial audience engagement and highlight the continued market appeal of Mist Theatre’s premium crime content.

As iQIYI’s flagship suspense and crime content label, Mist Theatre is widely recognized for its emphasis on realism, genre execution, and high production standards. Justice in the Shadows continues this creative direction by exploring moral dilemmas and social realities within close-knit communities. Through a restrained and grounded narrative lens, the series portrays the cascading impact of crime on ordinary families, interpersonal relationships, and small-town ecosystems—extending beyond conventional crime storytelling toward deeper reflections on human choice and social dynamics. This creative approach places elevated demands on atmospheric consistency, narrative pacing, and overall visual quality.

In alignment with the series’ thematic focus and Mist Theatre’s premium production standards, Mofy VFX supported key visual objectives, including atmospheric enhancement, environmental realism, and narrative rhythm reinforcement. Given the project’s multi-character structure, diverse locations, and interwoven storylines, the team emphasized visual consistency and viewing continuity across complex sequences. Rather than prioritizing speed alone, Mofy VFX focused on delivering stable, controllable, and reusable production capabilities through standardized workflows and mature collaboration processes—providing reliable quality output while maintaining delivery discipline for large-scale projects.

Mrs. Wenjun Jiang, CTO of Global Mofy, commented: “Justice in the Shadows is a crime drama that balances genre intensity with grounded social expression, placing high demands on visual atmosphere, narrative pacing, and emotional delivery. Mist Theatre’s premium positioning also requires strong consistency in style, image quality, and delivery stability. The successful completion of this project represents a meaningful milestone for our team’s professional execution, collaborative efficiency, and quality control systems. Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage our experience in complex productions and our stable cross-functional workflows to support creative teams with disciplined production methodologies and rigorous quality standards—delivering visually compelling content while providing reliable, scalable VFX support for future premium projects.”
