Esperanza joins hands with Tianxia Yimu to expand new finance for Hong Kong cultural assets — using "The Great Dragon and Phoenix" as a theatrical IP case, connecting fan engagement and entertainment asset tokenization applications, with a potential project reserve scale expected to exceed HKD 2 billion

May 12, 2026 - Yisheng Financial Technology (Securities) Limited (“Esperanza” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that its managed tokenized fund has participated as a co-organizer in the Hong Kong local theater IP project “The Great Dragon and Phoenix” under Tianxia Yi Mu Limited (“Tianxia Yi Mu”). The two parties have signed a cooperation arrangement regarding this. Tianxia Yi Mu is a subsidiary of Tianxia Yi Group. This collaboration marks Esperanza’s further extension of its compliant fintech solutions into Hong Kong theater, cultural IP, and fan engagement scenarios following its earlier entertainment performance tokenization project, continuously exploring the commercial value and application potential of cultural and entertainment assets under new financial models.

Tianxia Yi Group is a representative integrated film and television entertainment enterprise in Hong Kong, covering film, television, production, post-production, artist management, and related entertainment industry services. The cooperation with Tianxia Yi Mu not only reflects Esperanza’s ongoing expansion of tokenization application scenarios for cultural and entertainment assets but also demonstrates more development possibilities for high-quality local content and IP projects in Hong Kong under new financial models.

As a fintech and real-world asset tokenization platform based in Hong Kong and serving the Asia-Pacific region, Esperanza is committed to connecting quality assets, qualified investors, content rights holders, project operators, and fan communities within a compliant framework, establishing a more transparent, participatory, and scalable financial infrastructure for cultural and entertainment projects.

Esperanza Group CEO and Chief Legal Officer Leung Wai-chin stated:

“‘The Great Dragon and Phoenix’ project is not only a theater collaboration but also another significant practical case of Esperanza’s efforts in the financialization of Hong Kong’s cultural and entertainment assets. Hong Kong has always been an important city where Asian culture, creativity, and finance intersect. We hope to use Hong Kong as a starting point to combine high-quality local cultural and entertainment content with innovative fintech tools, fostering deeper value connections among content rights holders, project parties, fan communities, and qualified investors. In this project, Esperanza will also be launching a tokenization experience application in Hong Kong, allowing supporters to participate in ticket exchanges, exclusive merchandise, and cultural entertainment experiences through related tokenization arrangements, further extending the interaction between stage productions and audiences. Through compliant tokenization solutions, Esperanza will continue to assist more projects with cultural value and market potential to establish a more flexible, transparent, and participatory new financial connection model.”

Tianxia Yi Group CFO Wong Wing-yin said:

“We are very pleased to collaborate with the Esperanza team. In today’s diversified entertainment industry ecosystem, innovation in financial structures is crucial for promoting the development of creative industries. Through this cooperation, we look forward to utilizing professional fintech tools to explore more flexible commercial possibilities for Hong Kong’s cultural and entertainment assets.”

This collaboration also reflects Esperanza’s continued layout in the entertainment and cultural asset sectors. The company is actively exploring more projects with tokenization potential and commercial scalability, including film, live entertainment, theater IP, licensing, AI immersive entertainment, multimedia applications, experiential scenarios, and other categories of real asset-based and cash flow-generating projects.

Esperanza expects that as the content industry, fan engagement models, artificial intelligence technology, and immersive entertainment ecosystems in the Asia-Pacific region develop rapidly, the market will require more mature compliant financial platforms to help high-quality cultural and entertainment projects expand capital connections, community participation, and commercialization capabilities. Currently, the company is evaluating and advancing multiple related projects, with potential project reserves estimated to exceed HKD 2 billion, covering entertainment culture, licensed IP, real estate, multimedia, AI immersive entertainment, and other real-world asset applications.

Esperanza emphasizes that the company will continue to focus on compliance, transparency, and sustainable development, promoting the transition of cultural and entertainment assets from traditional project financing and single consumption models toward a more institutionalized, digitalized, and participatory new financial market model, creating new growth space for Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific creative industries.
