as MD for Riot Games’ China Entertainment. He reports to Shauna Spenley, global president of entertainment.
The newly-formed entertainment division is intended to expand Riot’s existing IP through film, television, music, consumer products, and live experiences. Zhu was CEO of CMC-owned Pearl Studio since 2016 and in 2020 was executive producer for the animated feature “Over the Moon,” a co-production with Netflix.
