Yuewen unveils first AI animation slate and OPC platform
At its 2026 Creator Conference in Hangzhou on October 16, Yuewen (China Literature) announced its first AI premium animation projects, including “Cyber Hero Legend” and “Unreasonable Beast Taming,” and said it will build an AI premium video matrix spanning comic drama, animation, live-action-plus-AI shorts and medium-to-long series. The company upgraded its DramaBuddy comic-drama assistant into a one-stop OPC platform, claiming it connects an author-approved IP library, AI production, one-click conversion of finished works into 10 languages and global distribution, with creator ratings and tiered incentives. Yuewen said it has signed more than 5,000 individual creators and studios. It also introduced an “IP Committee” model with its first project, “Defending Nanshan Park,” in partnership with Three-Body Universe, while CEO Hou Xiaonan said AI can be used to adapt literature but literature itself cannot be AI.
The move shows a major Chinese IP holder pushing AI from short comic dramas into premium animation and a creator-facing production platform, while its CEO publicly frames AI as a tool for adaptation rather than literary creation.
10月16日，2026阅文创作大会在杭州上城区举行。本次大会以“阅上潮头”为主题，紧扣“IP+AI+生态”主线。来自网络文学、影视、动漫、短剧、衍生消费等产业链的约400位创作者与合作伙伴齐聚钱塘江畔，共襄文化盛会。
会上，阅文集团CEO兼总裁侯晓楠表示，阅文将深化“IP+AI”战略布局，围绕AI精品视频矩阵、OPC一站式平台、IP全链路运营展开。大会发布了阅文首批AI精品动画项目，并将DramaBuddy漫剧助手升级为OPC一站式平台，为创作者提供从IP源头到AI制作、全网发行的完整链路。围绕IP全链路运营，阅文推出“IP委员会”模式，并发布该模式首个新项目《保卫南山公园》。与此同时，侯晓楠在现场重申守护真人原创：“文学的改编可以用AI，但文学本身不能是AI。”
