Background & analysis
On November 10, 2026, at 12:53, TMTPost reported on the cost impact of AI in short drama production. The report states that AI has cut the per-title production cost of short dramas down to 5000 yuan. However, the report points out that the money saved on the production side has not remained with the people making the dramas. Based on this, the report concludes that the income of the drama makers has stagnated. Based on this single piece of reporting, this is all that has been disclosed so far. It is not clear from the coverage how exactly the production stage was streamlined, and no other claims about the distribution of the revenue are provided in the report, nor is there any evidence of whether this cost level and revenue situation are broadly representative.
