Wondershare Technology Group Co.,Ltd. (300624.SZ), an A-share listed AIGC software company, announced on February 5th a significant enhancement to its AI comic-drama strategy. Following the launch of its Reelmate platform and a multi-million yuan investment in Lingman Kuaichuang, a leading comic-drama producer, the company has now made a strategic investment worth tens of millions of yuan in Shengshu Technology, an AI firm focused on developing multimodal general large models. The two companies have formally entered a strategic partnership to engage in ecosystem-level co-creation based on a "Large Model + Tools + Scenarios" framework, aiming to establish a new paradigm for the industrialized production of AI comic-dramas. A signing ceremony for the strategic investment and cooperation was held in Shenzhen, attended and witnessed by key executives from both companies, including Wondershare Chairman Wu Taibing and Shengshu Technology CEO Luo Yihang.
This powerful alliance is designed to leverage the respective strengths of both parties to accelerate the deep integration and large-scale implementation of AI technology in digital creativity, particularly within the comic-drama sector. Key collaborative initiatives include building a complete "ecosystem + technology" closed loop for AI comic-dramas by integrating the capabilities of Shengshu's Vidu AI Comic-Drama Large Model with Wondershare's global solutions; co-creating next-generation comic-drama creation tools through joint product and model development; jointly advancing technological innovation and application of multimodal large models in scenarios like video generation and image generation; and collaboratively building AIGC toolchains and solutions for professional creators and enterprises to foster a shared and mutually beneficial AIGC application ecosystem. The partnership aims to jointly chart a new blueprint for the AIGC content industry, with AI comic-dramas as a representative focus.
Luo Yihang, CEO of Shengshu Technology, stated that the company is committed to grounding cutting-edge multimodal AI technology in the most valuable industrial applications. The cooperation with Wondershare is a key strategic move for Shengshu to realize the "large-scale commercialization of technological value." Wondershare's mature global product ecosystem and extensive user base provide an optimal pathway for the Vidu large model to achieve large-scale application, transformation, and continuous iterative optimization. It is believed that the deep integration of "top-tier models with a top-tier platform" will redefine the efficiency boundaries of creation tools and set a replicable benchmark for the commercial implementation of the entire AIGC industry.
Wu Taibing, Chairman of Wondershare, commented that Shengshu Technology adheres to the philosophy of "making models truly serve creation," demonstrating a profound understanding of visual consistency, stylistic expression, and creator experience, especially in animation and stylized creation. This understanding stems from valuable long-term practical experience working alongside creators, which highly aligns with Wondershare's user-centric product philosophy. This collaboration is not merely a simple integration of advantages but a deep co-creation effort. He expressed anticipation for reshaping the AI creation workflow, truly embedding model capabilities into key creative nodes to enhance final product delivery, enabling global creators to enjoy the creative process, and jointly advancing the arrival of the "democratization of creativity" era.
AI comic-dramas, as an emerging format born from the deep integration of "culture and technology," are experiencing explosive growth. Characterized by low cost, high production capacity, and highly imaginative visual presentation, they are rapidly accumulating users and achieving commercial closure at an astonishing pace. Industry forecasts suggest the global AI comic-drama market could exceed 100 billion yuan within the next three years, making it a strategic battleground for leading tech companies aiming to capture the high ground in global digital cultural creation.
Wondershare and Shengshu Technology initiated their collaboration in 2024. Several products within Wondershare's video creativity business have already integrated capabilities from the Vidu large model, establishing a solid foundation for cooperation. Public information indicates that Shengshu's Vidu focuses on the independent research and development of multimodal general large models and their applications, having built an application matrix comprising Vidu MaaS, Vidu SaaS, and Vidu Agent. Vidu has become one of the preferred models for commercial content creation among global creators, content agencies, and enterprises. By developing a globally leading "reference-based video generation model," it not only addresses core creative challenges such as character consistency and visual stability but also liberates creators from repetitive tasks, effectively promoting the scaling and standardization of production capacity and leading the industrialization process of AI comic-dramas.
Wondershare has been cultivating the digital creativity software field for over twenty years. It is an A-share listed company recognized for having a wide range of product coverage, substantial revenue scale, and a high degree of globalization within China's digital creativity software sector. Its business spans over 200 countries and regions worldwide, with cumulative active users exceeding 2 billion, earning it the reputation of the "Chinese Adobe." For the era of AI comic-dramas, Wondershare has taken a proactive stance by implementing a "dual-mode drive + AIGC application matrix innovation" strategy. Its self-developed Wondershare KwaiMo large model features "multimedia capabilities + vertical solutions + localized computing power, data, and applications." It also openly incorporates third-party models from various domains and has innovatively developed AI-native products and solutions like Reelmate and Wondershare KwaiMo AI, providing one-stop services for the AI comic-drama industry from concept to final product.
The recently launched Reelmate platform is an AI-driven, one-stop platform for creating high-quality comic-dramas. It integrates industry-leading image and video generation models and is specifically designed for short comic-drama production companies, AIGC film studios, and universities/film training institutions, effectively serving as "Your Exclusive AI Film Studio." Its distinctive capabilities include adapting million-word novels into scripts, director-level controllable creation, intelligent efficiency enhancement across the entire production chain, extreme cost-effectiveness, efficient team collaboration management, professional AI agents for inspiration, and a proprietary knowledge base for compounding creative benefits. The platform reportedly reduces the average creation cycle per episode by 8 times, cuts overall labor costs by 72%, lowers average computing power costs by 55%, and reduces total AI creation costs for a project by over 60%. It can be widely applied to the film-grade, scaled production of various high-quality content, including 2D comic-dramas, AI live-action dramas, 3D comic-dramas, and film/TV series, empowering those with zero base experience or small budgets to produce major hits.
In the future, the Reelmate platform will leverage the core capabilities of models like Wondershare KwaiMo and Vidu to further enhance character consistency across comic-drama styles and develop collaborative AI agents for the entire workflow. It will also partner with Vidu to upgrade the full-chain capabilities of AI simulation agents for comic-drama creation, aiming to set a new benchmark for AI comic-drama creation platforms.
