On March 20th, Beijing Shengshu Technology Co., Ltd. announced that its AI video generation platform, Vidu, has secured the rights to adapt seven hit online novel IPs into concept short films. Vidu will leverage AI technology to empower China's animation short film market, propelling the adaptation of online literature into film and television into a new phase of development.
The seven works granted adaptation rights include Xiu Luo Wu Shen, Jiu Xing Ba Ti Jue, Di Jiu Te Qu, Xing Hen Zhi Men, Ren Huang Ji, Wo De 26 Sui Nu Fang Ke, and Sheng Tang Yan Yun. These phenomenal IPs cover a wide range of genres, including fantasy Xianxia, futuristic sci-fi, martial arts, and urban romance, boasting a large readership and strong potential for film and television adaptation. AI technology will enable the rapid transformation of these IPs into animated short films, bringing them to a wider audience.
Traditional novel IP adaptations face challenges such as high production costs and long production cycles. The integration of AI animation technology effectively addresses these issues. Vidu's AI technology can automate the generation of scripts, storyboards, assets, and video footage, shortening the production cycle from months or even years to weeks or even days. This significantly improves production efficiency, allowing these IPs to reach a broader audience in dynamic video format.
