From AI Faces to Operator Fusion: Hongguo Short Drama Governance Is a Battle for Inference Efficiency

In a single short drama, AI-generated frontal face shots appear an average of 3.2 times, and the reuse rate of the same character template across different series exceeds 40%. I didn't make this up; it's data we scraped last month while doing Profiling on Ascend inference cards for our team—the client was running text-to-video models, and the generated "people" looked almost identical, even down to the lighting direction. Now that Hongguo Short Dramas says they're cracking down on "high-frequency AI faces," they are essentially solving an inference optimization problem: how to ensure the characters produced by the model have high distinctiveness while maintaining low costs, rather than turning "style transfer" into "batch copying."
