BEIJING, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On October 28, iQIYI, China’s leading online
entertainment platform, has begun the inaugural project at its newly opened AI Film
Studio with the filming of internet feature film "Cop in Trouble". Located at the
iQIYI Creative Center Shanghai, the AI Film Studio expands upon iQIYI’s AI ecosystem
integrating live-action in-studio filming with AI post-production to realize the
imagination of storytellers at scale.

**Fewer Constraints, Greater Creative Freedom** 

Combining live studio performances with AI post-production, iQIYI reduces production
timeline constraints and increases production efficiency, helping filmmakers realize
their intended creative vision. For example, the studio gives filmmakers greater
flexibility to develop and refine visual environments after filming, while preserving
the actors’ original performances.

The approximately 110-square-meter studio is equipped with multi-camera shooting
capabilities, synchronized high-resolution video and audio recording, digital continuity
logging, and real-time footage review. From the set, on-set footage syncs automatically
to NadouPro, iQIYI’s AI-powered film & TV production platform. This seamless integration
gives filmmakers immediate access to nearly 30 AI models, including Seedance 2.5
and Kling 4.0, as well as hundreds of production-focused AI agents and skills to
transform live-action footage by generating new visual elements.

"An actor’s performance is the core of any film or series," said Liang ZHU, iQIYI
Vice President and Head of Intelligent Production. "The AI studio lets directors
preserve that performance while adjusting sets, lighting and costumes, makeup, and
props more flexibly, opening up greater creative space for filmmakers and creative
professionals alike."

**Bringing the story of "Cop in Trouble" to Life**

The production of the film "Cop in Trouble" puts the new capabilities to practice."
Cop in Trouble" follows Jian ZHANG, a low-ranking constable whose fame, riches and
admiration begin to crack as his web of lies to take down a notorious outlaw begins
to unravel. 

"Cop in Trouble" demonstrates how iQIYI’s AI Film Studio combines live-action performances
with AI-generated environments and visual details. On set, filmmakers capture nuanced
interactions between actors, from intimate conversations to action sequences requiring
precise coordination between performers and camera movement.

These live-action recordings provide rich input and key references for the AI generation
process via NadouPro, particularly in terms of character appearance, performance,
composition, lighting, and spatial relationships.

With the production of "Cop in Trouble" underway, the AI Film Studio marks another
important step in the expansion of iQIYI’s production capabilities – from traditional
on-location and green-screen work to virtual production and AI-integrated filmmaking.
The new facility continues the success of iQIYI’s Hengdian virtual studio, which
delivered production efficiency gains of over 30% to unlock a new era of high-quality,
cinematic storytelling at scale.

The new AI Film Studio opens up new possibilities for emerging directors and resource-
constrained teams, particularly in bringing imaginative worlds to life across all
genres.
