Today’s episode comes from our 2025 Q4 Short Drama Forum, featuring Lucas Zhang, CEO & Founder of Daogu Entertainment and co-founder of Dramago.
Lucas has been at the forefront of China’s short-drama evolution — from live-action vertical series to AI-powered motion comics — and his teams have worked across the full pipeline: writing, production, post, distribution, and long-tail monetization.
In this conversation, he breaks down:
- what truly differentiates short dramas from traditional film & TV
- the rise of AI motion comics and their global potential
- future opportunities for creators, platforms, and IP owners
Lucas also shares candid insights on user acquisition, long-tail revenue, translation markets, and why AI is becoming an essential tool — not a threat — for short-drama creators.
