China's first AI-generated long drama The Later Journey to the West premiered on Hunan TV on August 31. Produced by Mango TV and Bojing Culture using Seedance 2.0, the 60-episode series required no cameras, cutting costs significantly compared to traditional filming. The project leveraged a new review-while-broadcasting policy and completed production in just three months. It garnered over 150 million views on Mango TV within a week, marking a milestone in AI-driven content creation and demonstrating a shift from camera-based logic to frame-by-frame generation.
