AI Comic Dramas Dominate Top 4: Marginal Content Production Costs Near Zero, But Sharpe Ratio Is Accelerating Decay

AI comic dramas take up four of the top five spots on Hongguo Short Drama's trending list; this data has a high signal-to-noise ratio. The 89.19 million heat score is a solid user click behavior signal, indicating that the market's marginal preference for "low-cost thrills" is still expanding. I did some calculations: the production cost per episode for traditional live-action short dramas is around 100k-300k RMB, while AI comic dramas can be compressed to a few thousand RMB or even lower. This difference in cost structure means AI comic dramas have a natural advantage in Sharpe ratio—i.e., excess return per unit of risk.
