Came across a blogger using AI short videos to adapt 'Water Margin' into an American drama. Metrics for shares, likes, and saves are quite good. Story plots, script copy, and video clips can all be generated by AI. The difficulty requirement is low because generating American drama characters is much simpler than Chinese historical figures. Users naturally stay when seeing contrasting content, and curiosity drives them to watch the video through, similar to binge-watching AI mini-dramas. Once one account succeeds, it can be replicated to other accounts for matrix amplification~ Meanwhile, besides 'Water Margin', other classics can also be adapted into American dramas, worth benchmarking~
