[Voiceover] The world’s first AI-driven episodic series, Loading, is featured at this year’s Beijing International Film Festival. To understand what new possibilities AI can bring to filmmaking, we visited a film production studio to find out. [Soundbite] Chen Xiangyu, Chief director, New World Is Loading; creator, Kling AI: "Our initial idea was to use AI to explore new directions that were previously impossible and to see just how far we could push the boundaries." [Voiceover] Chen Xiangyu, Chief Director of Loading, utilizes AI to enhance film creation by developing a more complex worldview and multidimensional characters. [Soundbite] Chen Xiangyu, chief director, New World Is Loading; creator, Kling AI: "At present, Kling AI’s lip-syncing function not only preserves high-resolution facial details, but also precisely matches mouth movements while maintaining coordinated facial muscle motions, making the characters’ dialogues appear more natural and vivid." [Voiceover] With technological advancements, AI has become especially skilled at handling the demands of large-scale scenes in film production. [Soundbite] Chen Xiangyu, chief director, New World Is Loading; creator, Kling AI: "In the traditional industry, producing large-scale scenes could easily cost over eight figures. Now, we can achieve the same results at just 60 percent of that cost." [Voiceover] The world’s first AI-driven episodic series, Loading, premiered its pilot episode during the 2025 Spring Festival. According to Wang, the series has since garnered nearly 100 million views nationwide. [Soundbite] Wang Ruoxuan, senior product operations manager, Kling AI: "As of this year, we have surpassed 100 million in business revenue. Our B-end corporate users and developers have grown to 15,000, including clients from advertising, marketing, and paid short video industries." [Soundbite] Liu Mengya, Dean, Digital Media College, Beijing Film Academy: "From assisting with scriptwriting to creating stunning visual effects, AI has become a valuable tool for filmmakers. It inspires more creators to experiment with different styles and content, fostering a vibrant and diverse market." [Soundbite] Virtual character of Aaron Liu: "Hi there, I am Aaron Liu's virtual character." [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
