Technology Empowerment: The "Reunion" Allegory in AI Brushstrokes

As the first animated film in China fully created using artificial intelligence technology, "The Reunion Edict" is not only a showcase of technological innovation but also a new exploration in the dissemination of Chinese culture.

  • Original Story: The film is based on the mainland's giant pandas "Tuantuan" and "Yuanyuan," telling the story of the anime IP characters "Tuanzai" and "Yuanniu," siblings who were separated and eventually reunited.

  • Patriotic Sentiment: Zheng Jianbang, chairman of the Central Committee of the China Democratic League, pointed out that the film uses cutting-edge technology to create an allegory about the great reunion, aiming to promote emotional connection between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

  • Emotional Resonance: Ma Xiaoguang, vice chairman of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits, stated that the film conveys the strong public desire for peace and communication among people on both sides of the strait, showcasing the deep bond of kinship among compatriots.

A Decade of Effort: From Stage to the Big Screen

The IP of "Tuanzai" and "Yuanniu" is the result of more than a decade of accumulation.

  • Development Process: This IP was launched in 2014 and has already successfully produced multi-dimensional works such as children's stage musicals, books, and audio books.

  • Cross-Strait Collaboration: Its musical once invited artists from Taiwan's indigenous groups to participate in creation and has toured globally, demonstrating a solid foundation for cross-strait collaboration.

Industry Significance: The Beginning of the AI Film Era

Xing Bo, deputy director of the China Media Group, emphasized that "The Reunion Edict" uses innovative expressions of artificial intelligence technology, which not only enhances emotional resonance between the two sides of the strait, but also provides a digital new path for promoting national culture.
