Sina Tech News, October 29 afternoon — At the Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit International Going Global Forum, Yuewen Group (HKG: 00772) CEO and President Hou Xiaonan said in his speech that the cultural industry's overseas expansion is showing three profound changes: global co-creation is becoming a new source of IP, full-industry-chain expansion is forming a new pattern, and AI is setting off a new wave of visual overseas expansion.

He summarized this shift with a metaphor: "In the past, going global was like a line, bringing Chinese stories out in one direction; today, going global is becoming a network, connecting the world's content sources, development capabilities, and distribution channels to co-create and prosper together."

At the event, Hou Xiaonan also announced that the DramaBuddy comic drama assistant has officially connected to Tencent WorkBuddy.

According to the introduction, DramaBuddy will further reach a broader range of enterprise and individual users and expand high-quality visual production capacity: users can directly call 10 comic drama creation skills, including script design and storyboard design, within the WorkBuddy workspace, without the need to switch across platforms, enabling "one sentence generates comic drama material."

The commercial foundation of Yuewen's overseas expansion is a global IP ecosystem chain that has already been proven.

Data shows that upstream, Yuewen covers tens of millions of domestic web novels and 830,000 overseas original web novels; downstream, it has launched more than 1,300 published works, more than 2,100 comics, nearly 80 animations, and more than 100 film and television works overseas.
