Nadou Pro: Revolutionizing Film Production with AI

iQIYI introduces Nadou Pro, an AI agent designed for film and TV production, marking the first of its kind in China. The platform streamlines creation to distribution, bridging the gap in long-form AI content quality while receiving early validation from industry professionals, enhancing iQIYI's AI-generated content ecosystem.

On March 30, 2026, China's leading online entertainment platform, iQIYI, launched Nadou Pro, the country's first AI agent tailored for professional film and TV production. Currently in its pre-commercial stage, this innovation signifies iQIYI's commitment to incorporating AI throughout the entertainment production process.

Nadou Pro merges foundational models with iQIYI's production skills, offering end-to-end support from scriptwriting to final cinematic output. A standout feature is its 'blockbuster prompts,' which transform creative ideas into production-ready directives. iQIYI aims to establish AI as the driving force in filmmaking, with imagination being the sole limit, as expressed by Wenfeng LIU, senior vice president of iQIYI.

Despite AI's proficiency in creating short-form content, generating long-form narratives at professional quality remains a challenge. Nadou Pro addresses this by integrating vast content assets with specialized algorithms to embed cinematic production methods throughout every workflow phase. This AI agent has already garnered validation from filmmakers, as demonstrated by the successful use in the 'Peter Pau × iQIYI AI Theater.' The platform positions iQIYI at the forefront of the entertainment industry's tech-driven transformation.
