- AI Short-Drama Boom Pressures Profits, Hit Rates and IP
TMTPost reports that China’s AI short-drama and animated-drama market is expanding rapidly, with 221,900 new titles reportedly added on Douyin in the first half of 2026. Yet only 0.47% exceeded 100 million views, while production costs have fallen and revenue per title has declined, squeezing producers’ margins and bargaining power. Soy Sauce Culture founder Huang Haonan says lower barriers and abundant supply are weakening his company’s moat and making durable IP harder to build.

An analysis by Wang Zhiyuan, republished with authorization by 36Kr, says AI comic-drama production fees have fallen sharply. Soy Sauce Culture founder Huang Haonan said batch projects cost about 400 yuan per minute, while premium projects remained near 1,000 yuan per minute. The report says some labor savings have shifted toward compute and discarded AI generations, while platform revenue-sharing rules and paid traffic acquisition can leave creators with limited returns. DataEye Research counted 221,900 AI dramas and comic-dramas newly launched on Douyin in the first half of 2026, of which 1,055, or 0.48%, exceeded 100 million views; the figure measures reach, not profitability.
