iQIYI launches "Nadou Pro", the first professional intelligent body for film and television production in the country.

The first professional film and television production AI has arrived in the country! On March 30th, iQiyi announced the official opening of its AI intelligence platform "Nadou Pro" for external use, entering the pre-commercial stage. As a creative AI intelligence entity that combines industry-leading base models with deep experience in iQiyi's professional content production field, Nadou Pro supports a "one-stop" creative process from script generation, storyboard design to final output, and also features innovative functions such as "material search" and "mainstream prompts" to help creators achieve more precise expression and create professional long-length film and television works. Currently, creating AI short videos, single episodes of one or two minutes in length of AI short dramas, cartoon dramas is not difficult. However, creating AI narrative feature films that can rival the quality of TV dramas and movies remains a pain point in the industry. Nadou Pro was born against this background, dedicated to meeting the creative needs of long-length film and television works. Different from existing AI creative intelligence entities, Nadou Pro combines a large amount of film and television resources with self-developed algorithms, embedding the core methodology and creative experience of film and television creation in every step of the workflow. By developing corresponding intelligent entities, Nadou Pro creators can directly call upon a wealth of film and television materials as references in character and scene design, composition and background, cinematography and character movement through natural language interaction, optimizing keyword expressions and transforming the creative process from "whether the outcome of this card draw is satisfactory" to "creating a story with a feel close to actual filming using AI." Currently, Nadou Pro has integrated its self-developed Qizhi large model, as well as the latest versions of large models such as Jidu, Kelin, Vidu, Hailuo, and Wan, providing comprehensive support for text, image, video, and audio generation. At the same time, Nadou Pro combines professional divisions in film and television creation to build intelligent entities for screenwriting, art, storyboarding, visual effects, etc., assisting users in producing professional video content covering text, image, video and audio generation. Since the start of internal testing at the end of 2025, Nadou Pro has provided support to internal teams and core partners in various professional content areas such as movies, TV series, animations, etc. As the first batch of internal testing users of Nadou Pro, creators of "Baudexi iQiyi AI Theater" fully affirmed the ability of Nadou Pro to support commercial-grade film and television creation. The first work in this theater, "Tian Wen," will be launched on March 31st. The director of the film, Zhuang Fangzhao, stated that Nadou Pro provided effective support in the early core creative stages of character and scene setting, storyboarding, etc. for "Tian Wen," realizing the artistic setting of the film's end-time mecha subject with high quality. "Nadou Pro aggregates multiple AI creative large models, eliminating the inconvenience of switching between multiple models and more effectively assisting 'Mist Town' to achieve a unique 'Chinese Gothic' animation style." Director Zhang Bei of "Baudexi iQiyi AI Theater" work "Mist Town" expressed. The upcoming 16 works of "Baudexi iQiyi AI Theater," which will soon be launched, have all been created using Nadou Pro. The recently released trailer of this theater shows that Nadou Pro can effectively support the production of various types of realistic human and animated films including science fiction, ancient costume, fantasy, strange tales, and reality, demonstrating the huge potential of AI film and television creation. Liu Wenfeng, Senior Vice President of iQiyi, stated that the boundaries of film and television creation are being redefined by AI. Nadou Pro is a professional film and television AI intelligence platform specifically designed for AI creators and film and television professionals, integrating creative, production, and operation into one. "We believe that whether you start from AI or from film and television, you should have professional film and television creation abilities - the launch of Nadou Pro is to make AI intelligence the most powerful productivity engine for every creator, enabling imagination to truly reflect the reality of professional film and television." As a continuous builder of the AIGC film and television ecosystem, iQiyi has been exploring AI film and television content creation and author excavation through activities such as the "Coexist with AI" short film creation competition and the "Baudexi iQiyi AI Theater Creation Camp" since 2025. In 2026, iQiyi has taken the lead in launching the iQiyi Nadou AIGC Entrepreneurship Conference and organizing "AI Film and Television Creation Camp" through various means to open up resources and build a platform, aiming to discover creative pioneers with both future narrative visions and AI creative abilities, and create AI commercial works that have benchmark significance. The official launch of Nadou Pro provides iQiyi with a strong engine to build the AIGC film and television ecosystem. Focusing on more AI film and television product research and development through technological innovation, and empowering new era creators with rich film and television experience, iQiyi will actively embrace the next wave of creation and drive the intelligent upgrading of the film and television industry.
