As AI-generated short dramas explode across China, the country's traditional film and TV industry is facing an unprecedented disruption.
More than 128,000 AI-produced mini dramas are rapidly replacing human actors, while Hengdian's 200,000 background performers are struggling with shrinking job opportunities and uncertain futures. Is this simply technological progress, or the beginning of a massive employment crisis for China's entertainment industry?
In this video, we examine how AI is transforming film production, why so many actors and crew members are losing work, and what this trend reveals about the broader challenges facing China's economy and labor market.

The Industry will eventually destroy itself !!
a "Son of Light" in terms of a spiritual child of the Buddha who actively carries the torch of light into the dark world to save others, that is a Bodhisattva.
Yu Menglong was such a truly kind, virtuous, and beautiful person,
a manifestation of Buddha and Bodhisattva in the human world.
Eternally in memory of Bodhisattva Yu Menglong
There are too many perverts in the entertainment industry. Actors aren't treated like human beings, but like slaves. They beat and kill at will. Actors have to sleep with all sorts of perverts to appear on screen; if they refuse, they're slaughtered. Even ancient brothels weren't this cruel. What kind of world is this? 😡 I'm heartbroken by Yu Menglong's tragic experience. The collapse of the Chinese entertainment industry is a death sentence for Yu Menglong. Yu Menglong's departure foreshadows the demise of the film and television industry. We couldn't get justice for Xiaoyu, but AI did. One whale falls and all things perish. Yu Menglong is a ray of light!
Was he guilty of perfection ? Benevolence ? Sincerity ? Gentleness ? Justice ? Steadfastness ? Handsomeness ? Courage ? Noble Virtue ? Brilliant Talent ? Adherence to principles ? Was this truly only his fault ?
All the harm you have done to MengMeng will come back to you with interest. Box office revenue is just a small part of the picture.
It's like a facade, a legitimate way to launder money. Massive unemployment in the Chinese entertainment industry is an inevitable consequence. "A Whale Falls, Burying the Entertainment Industry". A whale falls and the entertainment industry is ruined. One whale falls, and everything perishes. Yu Menglong is a descendant of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Mr. Ma has already mentioned in the video that he has the destiny of a young emperor. Xi (a homophone) stole the fortunes of past emperors from Yu Menglong and was sacrificed. Heaven will punish the demons who harmed Yu Menglong. This is his first time being reincarnated into the human world, and he came with a mission. He will not be reincarnated again. He was originally the golden boy next to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he will return to the celestial realm!
