AI-generated content, or AIGC, is revolutionizing the short film industry by producing digital text, images, and videos, empowering creators to explore diverse styles and innovative content.

In late August, China Media Group (CMG) launched an AI-themed evening gala, displaying short videos entirely created with AIGC.
According to data, the event has attracted over 600 million views as of September 5.
Huang Zhongzhong, the creative partner of China-based AI creative studio Kling AI, was involved in producing one of the short films showcased at this event.

We completed this short film in about a week," said Huang.

According to Huang, the AI tool he used was advanced enough to create expressive visuals and natural movements."We had strict requirements for generating the first and last frame storyboards. Kling AI met our needs with consistent character modeling, detailed props, accurate scene reproduction, smooth transitions, and realistic physical movements," he said.

The AI-themed evening gala highlighted the rapid growth and potential of AI generated content in China.
"Since June 2024, Kling has grown its global user base to over 45 million. In the second quarter of 2025, Kling's revenue exceeded 250 million yuan (about 35.09 million U.S. dollars)," said Wang Ruoxuan, senior product operations manager of Kling AI.

"AI has become a valuable tool for filmmakers. It inspires more creators to experiment with different styles and content, fostering a vibrant and diverse market," said Liu Mengya, dean of the Digital Media School at the Beijing Film Academy.
