A digital-creative enterprise based in Longgang district has claimed a top audience-voted prize for an AI-produced mini-drama at a national cross-Straits cultural contest held on Sept 23 in Quanzhou, Fujian province.

Shenzhen Buming Culture Technology took home the Most Popular AIGC Short Drama Award for its original urban romance. The AI-crafted work tells a fantasy story of lovers reuniting across different lifetimes in a virtual setting.

Selected from more than 1,300 submissions, the hit production has racked up nearly 5 billion online views, with related topics drawing over 1 billion hits across Chinese streaming platforms.

Headquartered in Henggang subdistrict, the local company operates a full-service chain covering AI scriptwriting, virtual character creation and content distribution. 

The success underscores Longgang's growing footprint in AI-powered cultural content and sets a practical example for the country's fast-expanding AIGC audiovisual sector.
