'Last year, my schedule was jam-packed, but this year, things have slowed down significantly,' observed a male actor who has featured in numerous popular short dramas, echoing the profound shifts currently reshaping the short drama landscape. The driving force behind these changes isn't a decline in market demand; rather, it's a supply-side transformation propelled by generative artificial intelligence (AIGC). As 'text-to-video' technology advances at a breakneck pace, the traditional, labor-intensive production model—characterized by large teams, hefty budgets, and extended timelines—is giving way to a compute-intensive paradigm where individuals can operate as 'one-person armies' and 'one-click filmmaking' becomes a reality. Industry analysts assert that AI technology is emerging as a pivotal factor in redefining industry value and unlocking new investment prospects. Amid these sweeping changes, AI video generation tools at the upstream level, virtual human technology platforms, and AIGC content middleware are experiencing a reassessment of their worth, emerging as hotspots in the capital market.
