   AI film Sanxingdui: Future Memories struggles at the box office

   According to 虎嗅 AI, the AI-generated theatrical film 《三星堆：未来往事》 earned less than 1.5 million yuan after more than one week in cinemas, with attendance near 1% and production costs in the tens of millions of yuan. Online reviewers criticized the characters as mechanical and the dialogue as awkward, while the report argues that abundant free AI shorts on Red Fruit have anchored audiences’ perceived value of AI content near zero. The figures were not accompanied by independent financial documentation, and the report did not establish that weaker production quality alone caused the poor performance.

   The 55% Token-Consumption Claim for AI Dramas Is Inaccurate

   An APPSO commentary questioned a circulating consulting-company investor-relations memo that claimed AI short dramas and video generation accounted for 55% of domestic Token consumption, along with 24% for e-commerce and marketing and 15% for software development. The commentary says these figures cannot be readily verified because infrastructure logs can record model requests, Tokens, generation time and resource use, but generally do not identify whether an output was used for a short drama, advertising, game assets or another application. It also says text, image and video workloads use different Token definitions and computational intensities, so Token consumption cannot be equated directly with computing power. The commentary reports rapid growth in AI short-drama production and the emergence of dedicated inference infrastructure, including a “Token factory” in Zhengzhou serving short-drama companies.

   'Not heartburn' line goes viral as AI short dramas fall into a copy-paste rut

   In an article by Su Sinan of Economic Observer, republished by Huxiu AI, lines such as "it's a bit pricey, but it doesn't cause heartburn" and "better to earn less than break the rules" are said to recur across AI-generated short dramas featuring food-stall vendors, turning into a widely shared meme. The piece traces the meme to a fixed "honest shopkeeper beats the cut-throat rival" template that has spread from bun shops to noodle stalls and tea stores, with some low-cost teams reusing similar face models, prompts and character templates so that characters look interchangeable. It cites data showing about 46,900 AI animated dramas released in 2025 with over 70 billion views, and more than 221,900 new AI short dramas online in the first half of 2026, of which only 1,055 passed 100 million views — a 0.47% rate — while roughly 90% of projects industry-wide are losing money.
