PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Competition in AI short dramas is shifting from one-off generation to controllable production. By linking scriptwriting, storyboarding, reshoots, and cost accounting, Tiangong lowers barriers to rework and collaboration, making it suitable for studio-scale mass production. However, model quality, copyright issues, and overseas localization will ultimately determine whether this workflow can achieve true profitability.
