- Mango TV launches five native AI artists with long-term agency model
A report by Wenyu Xiansheng, authorized for publication by TMTPost, says Mango TV announced five native AI artists—Cheng Du, Fang Yu, Lin Enna, Qi Xu and Zhan Yan—and released the series 《了不起啊朋友》 starring them. Each has a distinct persona, social account, human screenwriters and agency support, with the platform treating them as long-term artist assets. The report does not provide monetization data for these five artists specifically. It examines the wider AI-artist sector, where public cases mainly involve custom videos and brand co-creation; quoted rates, brand activity and related-product sales have not established a reproducible, sustainable profit model.

A Mirror Entertainment analysis republished by Huxiu AI says AI dramas are being reassessed as marketing assets: in "Whoa! I Have a Kid With My Nemesis Season 2," male lead Qi You became a "promotion ambassador" for La Mer, with purchase links embedded in the episodes and the character later appearing in the brand's livestream, using the show's relationship arc as the sales narrative. The article cites DataEye figures putting China's AI drama and comic-drama market above 22 billion yuan in the first five months of 2026, with institutions expecting over 40 billion yuan for the year, but says that of more than 220,000 new titles added on Douyin in the first half, only 1,055 passed 100 million views and just 1.3% cleared the industry's 50-million-view break-even line. It also reports that the producers of "Yu Ni Shen Qing Qin Ru Yu Sheng" began selling official merchandise in October — limited character cards at 49.9 yuan sold 12,000 boxes for nearly 600,000 yuan — after an unlicensed 129-yuan bracelet tied to lead character Duan Yan had already sold more than 10,000 units.

Virtual AI girl group BABYQUEEN published a letter in the voice of member Mity saying she was pregnant and would pause all activities to rest, and the notice went viral; roughly an hour after a follow-up apology letter, the team account previewed a comeback single, and on October 14 the group returned as a four-member lineup teasing "Next Level". The operators said the story was fictional and that they chose an inappropriate reason to retire Mity because one person could not keep up with running several AI characters; they described BABYQUEEN as a hobby project by several K-pop fans with no company investment, and said they did not profit from it. The creators said they faced body shaming, personal attacks and harassment of family members as discussion spread, while Chinese tech and culture outlets criticised turning pregnancy into a plot device and compared the case with virtual influencer Lil Miquela's staged leukemia storyline.
