iQIYI Launches China's First AI Film Studio in Shanghai, with Inaugural Title "Cop in Trouble" in Production

The studio combines live-action filming with AI post-production and uses nearly 30 models to help filmmakers refine environments after shooting.

  • On October 28, iQIYI opened its new AI Film Studio at the Creative Center Shanghai, launching the inaugural production of internet feature film "Cop in Trouble."
  • This approximately 110-square-meter facility integrates live-action filming with AI-powered post-production, allowing directors to adjust sets, lighting, and props flexibly while preserving actors' original performances.
  • Filmmakers gain access to nearly 30 AI models, including Seedance 2.5 and Kling 4.0, via the NadouPro platform, which syncs on-set footage to generate visual elements automatically.
  • "An actor's performance is the core of any film or series," said Liang ZHU, iQIYI Vice President and Head of Intelligent Production, as the film follows constable Jian ZHANG.
  • Building on the Hengdian virtual studio, which delivered production efficiency gains of over 30%, the expansion marks a transition toward AI-integrated filmmaking for resource-constrained teams and emerging directors.
