DataEye's September ranking of Hongguo AI drama/comic dramas shows series IP rising from 23 in August to 41, with 61 of the 100 titles being sequels; "Wan Yao Tu Lu Zhuan" season 13 launched Oct 1 and passed 1 billion views by Oct 3, "Ju Bao Xian Pen" season 12 crossed 1 billion on Oct 6, and "San Qian Bi Hu" has run 35 seasons since February. Practitioners estimate a hit season earns roughly 1–2 million yuan, but several say revenue sharing for similarly popular titles has fallen more than 20% since April–May, and Hongguo's Sept 22 policy update removed the series-scale bonus multiplier from October. Some content factories, such as Lingju Animation, are scaling back domestic output to give outside creators tools, compute and distribution support, while boutique teams that produced hits are adding staff for continuous delivery.
