Press Release
Glory Star expected to further increase profitability
Glory Star New Media Group, a Nasdaq-listed digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, is expected to be able to further increase its profitability with its growing market share and economy of scale.
The company reported a 15.8% growth in its Non-GAAP net income to US$16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30 from US$14.6 million in the same period of last year.
During the first half of this year, the company’s total revenues grew 144.6% to US$71.9 million from US$29.4 million, thanks to the increase in advertising revenues and Cheers e-Mall marketplace service revenue, primarily attributable to the development and promotion of its mobile and online businesses.
Income from operations surged 40.9% to US$16.2 million from US$11.5 million.
During the first half year of 2021, the company successfully grew its top and bottom lines as it allocated more resources to sales and marketing to augment its brand equity and fuel its long-term growth engine.
The company’s rising economy of scale will allow it to gradually reduce operating expenses and capitalize on the rising popularity of video content and deliver lasting shareholder value.
At the end of June 30, the number of downloads of the company’s Cheers App reached 215.6 million, up from 121 million a year earlier. The increase in the number, a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of its Cheers App and its e-Mall platform traffic, showed that it had successfully converted viewers of its content to its Cheers App.
Average daily active users (DAUs) of the app grew to 7.1 million from 4.5 million for the same period. Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on its Cheers e-Mall platform jumped to 231,630 from 19,984.
Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of the Cheers App reached US$181.2 million in the first six months of this year, compared with US$20 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in GMV was driven significantly by its ability to attract and retain users to its Cheers App through its professionally produced content and its ability to further enhance its product offerings.
The company has a strong commitment to its corporate mission, meticulous execution of growth strategies, methodical expansion in both overseas and domestic markets, proactive engagement of Generation Z users through innovative products, and prudent investment in sales and marketing initiatives. It plans to refine its competitive edge in content-driven e-commerce of premium lifestyle, deepen our expertise in integrating quality content with lifestyle commerce, and expand our brand influence among Generation Z consumers on a global basis.
During the first half year, the resurgence of Covid-19 and its Delta variant caused the Chinese government to impose travel restrictions within mainland China, particularly in the southern regions of the country.
The company temporarily suspended the production of its traditional “Cheers Series” TV programs, thus resulting in a decline in its cost of revenues during the first six month of 2021. Once the travel restrictions are eased, the company will resume its content production activities in the second half of this year.
As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of US$20.3 million, compared with US$17.7 million at the end of last year.
Blockchain and AI technologies
Since its establishment in 2016, Glory Star has pioneered a unique, new business model integrating e-commerce services with premium video content. With the use of blockchain and AI technologies in its systems, the company has become a leading online digital media and entertainment company in China, with a strong track record both in terms of viewership and production capabilities. The company launched its Cheers App in 2018 to integrate e-commerce services with professionally generated content (PGC).
During the first half, the company produced many more live streaming shows and started to provide title sponsor advertising services at a higher price point. It also spent substantially on the development of the Cheers Chat and Cheers Car.
The company plans to provide more user-generated content (UGC) by forming partnerships with other platforms. It will allow global users to upload their content to its video platforms in the fourth quarter of this year while users will receive advertising revenue or get rewards from viewers directly.
The company will also allow content providers to use its software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain system with the blockchain technology that will help them match with relevant merchandisers. Content providers will be able to share the revenue from the sales of products on their video accounts.
The company’s ability to integrate premium lifestyle content, including short videos, online variety shows, online dramas, live streaming, its Cheers lifestyle video series, e-Mall, and mobile app, along with innovative e-commerce offerings on its platform enables it to pursue its mission of enriching people’s lives.
Its large and active user base has created valuable engagement opportunities with consumers and enhanced platform stickiness with thousands of domestic and international brands.
Non-fungible token
Glory Star’s Naschain platform offers one-stop solutions, which include smart contract, multichain universe and cross-chain consensus mechanisms, to users with its blockchain technology. It can help e-shoppers trace the origins of the products, avoid buying counterfeit goods, lower their logistics costs and protect their privacy.
The company has signed an agreement with the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum to use the company’s non-fungible token (NFT) technology, which can be used in copy-rights’ registration, verification, transaction and valuation, to protect the intellectual property of the museum’s artworks. The company will be able to boost its market share by acquiring some NFT service providers.

Fifsee Brings FIFSCORE, AI Studio and Personalized AI Real Estate Intelligence to 118 Countries
One platform for FSBO buyers, sellers, travelers, renters and business users — featuring FIFSCORE, AI restyling with recoloring and furniture modeling, 3D modeling, market insights, and Get Connected – Worldwide.
United States, 4th Jul 2026 — Global real estate represents the world’s largest asset class, valued at over $3+ trillion — yet the vast majority of the billions of individuals who participate in it as buyers, renters, property owners, investors, business operators, and travelers do so without access to quality, personalized market intelligence. The information advantage has historically accrued only to those who can afford professional advisors, institutional research, or well-connected networks. Today, Fifsee Inc., a Frisco, Texas-based AI technology company, announces the full global availability of its platform — with 100,000+ users already active across 118 countries — bringing role-specific intelligence, FIFSCORE, and AI advisor Fia to every participant in the global real estate ecosystem, on web, iOS, and Android.
FIFSCORE: The World’s First Personalized Real Estate Intelligence Score at Global Scale
FIFSCORE is Fifsee’s proprietary personal intelligence score — and the first of its kind to operate at true global scale. A first-time buyer in Mumbai, a landlord in Dubai, a tenant in London, a vacation rental host in Bali, a commercial business owner in Singapore, a traveler relocating from Toronto to Lisbon, and a seller in Sydney each receive a FIFSCORE calibrated to their specific role, local market, financial context, and transaction stage. FIFSCORE does not deliver generic market data. It delivers your intelligence score, in your market, for your role — in real time.
118 Countries. Seven Roles. One Platform.
Fifsee is the only platform in the world that serves all seven real estate participant roles at global scale, each with a fundamentally different intelligence experience:
- Buyers — AI-powered affordability analysis, price trajectory, mortgage intelligence, school district scoring, neighborhood demand signals, and cross-border property intelligence across all major global markets
- Sellers — Listing competitiveness analysis, buyer demand signals, pricing strategy intelligence, and market timing insights calibrated to local conditions in any country
- Tenants — Rental affordability scoring, lease market benchmarks, neighborhood quality analysis, and relocation cost intelligence across the world’s most competitive urban rental markets
- Landlords — Yield benchmarks, vacancy trend forecasting, tenant demand analysis, and cross-border portfolio performance intelligence for property owners across 118 markets
- Travelers — Door-to-door travel cost intelligence, visa guidance, accommodation market data, local area briefings, and destination FIFSCORE analysis for every global destination
- Hosts — Short-term rental pricing intelligence, seasonal occupancy benchmarks, competitive positioning, and revenue optimization for hosts across every global platform and market
- Businesses — Competitor snapshots, margin intelligence, SWOT analysis, commercial zoning insights, and strategic market positioning across 35+ business categories in any country
Fia: The World’s First Role-Aware Real Estate AI Available in 45 Languages
Powering every role, in every country, is Fia — a floating AI assistant available in voice and text across 45 languages. Fia is role-aware and user-aware: she knows whether you are a buyer in Brazil, a landlord in the UAE, a business owner in South Korea, or a traveler planning a move from Canada to Portugal — and she tailors every response, recommendation, and market insight to your specific situation. For the billions of people around the world who navigate real estate without professional support, Fia is the advisor they have never been able to access.
Democratizing Intelligence Across the World’s Most Underserved Real Estate Markets
In mature markets like the U.S., U.K., and Australia, Fifsee competes on intelligence quality and role-specificity. In high-growth markets across South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa — where real estate markets are opaque, professional advisory is expensive, and information asymmetry is greatest — Fifsee delivers something entirely new: a professional-grade AI advisor and market intelligence score accessible to anyone with a smartphone. The platform is free to download and free to get started — globally.
Get Connected: AI-Matched Professionals Across 118 Countries
Get Connected matches users to verified real estate agents, mortgage brokers, attorneys, property managers, and over 35 categories of service professionals — in any country — using AI to match by need, location, and transaction context. For users in markets where professional networks are inaccessible or expensive to navigate, Get Connected delivers qualified professional connections that would otherwise require weeks of effort and significant advisory spend.
“We didn’t build another real estate app. We built an intelligent engine that understands who you are, where you are, and what you need — and then acts on it. Every user gets a FIFSCORE — a personal intelligence score that tells them exactly where they stand in their real estate journey. That’s Fifsee.”
— Sri Varadhan, Founder, Fifsee Inc.
Availability
Fifsee is available now, free to download, across web, iOS, and Android. Users can access AI reports, FIFSCORE, market insights, and Fia from day one.

The Story of the Boy Who Would One Day Be Known as Zeami The World Is Dancing Premieres June 29
Opening Movie Featuring Macaroni Empitsu’s “shusho” Revealed Alongside a Special Video Comment from the Band!Special Congratulatory Illustration by Slam Dunk & Vagabond Creator Takehiko Inoue Unveiled!
Tokyo, Japan, 3rd Jul 2026 – CyberAgent, Inc. is excited to unveil the opening movie for the anime The World Is Dancing (co-produced by CyberAgent and Shochiku), set to the opening theme song “shusho” by Macaroni Empitsu, ahead of the anime’s premiere today, July2.
Set to Macaroni Empitsu’s track “shusho,” the opening movie features a visual touch distinct from the main anime, vividly transitioning from stark black-and-white into vibrant colors. The sequence beautifully captures the series’ dynamic energy and ephemerality. Furthermore, the staff credits featured in the sequence, including the director’s name, were handwritten by Satoshi Nemoto, who also created the calligraphy for the series’ official title lettering.
Additionally, a special video message from Macaroni Empitsu has been released. To commemorate the premiere of Episode 1, a special congratulatory illustration has also arrived from legendary manga artist Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk, Vagabond), whom The World Is Dancing creator Kazuto Mihara previously worked under as an assistant.
In an era of constant conflict, this is a “dancing story” that follows a curious boy named Oniyasha (CV: Yumiri Hanamori). As he meets people, laughs, cries, and faces his own weaknesses, he shapes a new form of dance in an ever-changing world. It is a tale that might have unfolded when the boy who would one day create Noh—Zeami—was still known as Oniyasha, carrying his legacy across 600 years to the present.
The anime is produced by animation studio, Cypic. The series is directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi, known for his work on the TV anime The Great Passage, the animated film Love Me, Love Me Not, and both the TV and theatrical versions of the Backflip!! series.
The series recently won a Special Award at the Short Shorts Film Festival.
The anime The World Is Dancing is currently available to all HIDIVE subscribers throughout the U.S. and Canada as well as in key overseas markets including Australia and New Zealand.
