"Hou Xiyou Ji", China's first AI-generated long-form TV series, premiered on Mango TV and Hunan Satellite TV, garnering over 2 million views in the first hour. Produced by Mango Lingchuang using models like Seedance2.5, the 30-episode series was created in 4 months. While visuals are generally smooth, some AI artifacts remain in animal movements and character interactions. It is the first series to adopt a "produce, review, and air simultaneously" model under new regulations.
