On May 21, an investor asked Zhangyue Technology about the core issues that the market is most concerned about—its production efficiency in the AI short video field, implementation plans, and how much revenue it can generate for the company.

For this, Zhangyue Technology gave a clear and extremely clear response: The company's strategic focus has been fully shifted to AI short videos in Q1 2026. This move indicates that as a leading digital reading company, Zhangyue is now decisively entering the AIGC filmization trend and has made a remarkable leap from "technical experimentation" to "commercial monetization" in both domestic and international markets.

Key Highlights:

  • Strategic Shift: Zhangyue Technology's strategic focus has been fully shifted to AI short videos in Q1 2026.

  • Core Platform: Relying on its PaoMan platform, it has built a complete AI short video ecosystem covering scripts, assets, and video generation.

  • Outstanding Overseas Performance: The successful "Chinese experience" has been replicated overseas, with multiple overseas AI short videos achieving performance far exceeding expectations after their launch.

"Three-in-One" Development Model: AI Makes Blockbusters a Production Line

Regarding the investors' concerns about "production efficiency and implementation plans," Zhangyue Technology revealed that it has developed a mature "three-in-one" AI short video blockbusters development model:

  1. Massive Official IP Library as the Foundation: Relying on its long-term accumulated novel copyright resources, AI can quickly complete the structural breakdown and network optimization of scripts, solving the problem of AI creation without raw materials.

  2. Multi-Agent Architecture for Efficient Mass Production: By deeply adapting cutting-edge large models, AI agents work together to handle script analysis, character asset setting, shot-by-shot video generation, and preview. The full-chain node integration significantly shortens the production cycle and achieves a breakthrough in mass production efficiency.

  3. PaoMan Platform Ecosystem Loop: With PaoMan platform as the core distribution and operation base, it forms a complete loop of "IP-AI production-platform playback-fan monetization." Currently, several fully AI-produced short videos are being aired on the platform, showing strong viewing numbers and interaction rates.

Overseas Market Disruption: The "One-Click Copy" of a Mature Model

After solving the production and loop issues in the domestic market, Zhangyue Technology is rapidly expanding this strategy globally.

Reports show that the company's expansion in the overseas market has achieved significant results. By localizing the domestically verified "three-in-one" model, several overseas AI short videos tailored to the aesthetics and cultural background of foreign users have officially launched. Due to AI's natural advantages in cross-cultural character modeling and multilingual voice synchronization, these overseas works have performed exceptionally well since their release, quickly opening up new growth space for the company and verifying the huge monetization potential of AI short videos as a globally applicable cultural product.

Industry Insights: Redefining the Logic from "Selling Traffic" to "Selling Value"

RBC and other industry analysts previously pointed out that the AI-driven industry revaluation differs fundamentally from the "traffic duration" logic of the mobile internet era. The core value of AI short videos lies in dramatically reducing the marginal cost of film and television content production. It is no longer about extending user time through prolonged exposure, but rather "sharing profits through efficiency and creativity in value creation."

Zhangyue Technology's strategic determination shown in Q1 2026 aligns with this industry paradigm shift. As the PaoMan platform ecosystem continues to improve, the AI short video business may become the strongest driver of the company's performance growth following traditional digital reading.
