Produce a 60-episode short drama from a script
A 5-person team uploaded a 40,000+ character script to a short-drama agent that handled character setup, storyboarding and scene rendering for a 60-episode series in 8 days. ·
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- During beta testing of ByteDance's Xiaoyunque short-drama Agent, Chuangyi Media uploaded a script of more than 40,000 characters for the series 万兽独尊. The agent set up the characters, broke the script into storyboards and rendered the scenes. It produced a "story blueprint" that creators could edit shot by shot, including prompts, character references and character images. The team stepped in to make tweaks at key points.
- How it went
- A 5-person team finished 60 episodes in 8 days. The series passed 100 million Douyin views within 4 days of release and ranked first on Hongguo's comic-drama chart. Flaws included long waits, model clipping and garbled text.
- Worth knowing
- Expect long waits, clipping and garbled on-screen text, so plan time to review and fix shots. The article also reports AI episodes costing roughly 500 to 1,000 yuan each.
Try it yourself with Manus
I have a script of about [number] characters for a short drama called [title]. Break it into [number] episodes, create a character sheet for each main character, and write a storyboard with scene descriptions for the first [number] episodes. Finish with a folder of character profiles, episode outlines, and scene-by-scene prompts I can feed into a video generator, and check with me before using any paid service.
