AI-Driven Short Drama Platforms Launch in Taiwan and China

Taiwan's Jujang Co., Ltd. (劇有梗股份有限公司) announced a full upgrade of its My Dream brand into an AI Original Entertainment Platform. The company will produce AI‑generated comics, dramas, animation, music, virtual characters and interactive content, creating a complete AI IP ecosystem. Its first AI‑original IP, “Journey to Taiwan,” reimagines classic tales with Taiwanese cultural elements and aims at international audiences.

In mainland China, the first AI‑generated short drama “The Girl Who Was Fired” has become a hit on Douyin, amassing over 250 million views. The virtual female lead, Fang Taozi, began appearing in commercial ads for colored contact lenses, commanding ad rates that rival top human influencers. The rapid commercialisation of AI virtual actors has sparked debate over authenticity, consumer trust and the potential impact on real‑world actors and influencers.
