The integration of the "new three types" of culture has become a trend; Digital assets will become a new investment trend; AI has become a new solution for "changing lanes and overtaking" in multiple fields... Recently, the AIGC China Tour Wenzhou Station Exchange Symposium was held in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, with the theme of "AI Empowering Cultural 'New Three' Going Global". It gathered top AI experts, entrepreneurs, and creators in China to jointly explore the innovative application and overseas strategy of artificial intelligence in the cultural field.
What kind of chemical reaction will occur between online literature, online dramas, and online games, as the "new three types" of Chinese culture, and Wenzhou, a city of private economy that dares to be the first in the world, under the catalysis of AI?
The 'New Three Types' of culture are all forms of content expression, but they have formed an industrial chain for the transfer of textual content to visual and interactive content. Song Donghuan, the initiator of StoryStorm, an AI community, said that the maturity of AI technology helps to quickly iterate high-quality content. Compared with the previous long cycle industrial chain of content production, AI technology can exponentially improve efficiency.
In Song Donghuan's view, in addition to the integration of the three, the cultural "new three" of the AI era will continue to "expand its circle". For example, peripheral products and virtual idols derived from the "new three types" of culture will jointly form an industrial circle and become a part of the "cake making and cake sharing" industry.
I have been engaged in the animation and gaming industry in China for nearly 20 years. As a new generation of Wenzhou businessmen, I have completed the business transformation of Wenzhou people from investing in real estate to investing in digital assets. As a Wenzhou overseas Chinese businessman who grew up overseas, Weng Yongye, founder of Nuoyou Animation, believes that he is fortunate to witness the changes in China's animation and gaming IP market - from overseas introduction to global export, marking the improvement of China's soft power.
Since 2020, Weng Yongye's enterprise has been located in Longwan District, Wenzhou City, because in his commercial image, AI empowering the cultural industry will be one of the important directions for him to layout the "going global" strategy of Chinese animation and games.
China's leading position in the field of AI may be an opportunity for the domestic film and television industry to 'overtake' the Hollywood film and television industry in the United States. ”Liu Meiling, Marketing Director of Huayi Brothers, stated that as a leader in China's traditional film and television industry, Huayi Brothers will release more than 10 AI film and television works by the end of 2025, and will compete for awards at Cannes, Venice, Berlin, and European Film Festivals worldwide. Among them are content works based on the story of Liu Bowen in Wencheng County, Wenzhou City.
As a content entrepreneur and AI model trainer, Liu Bai (Uncle Martin), founder of Zhejiang Vowel Technology, believes that just like watching Yiwu through e-commerce live streaming, the future of the AI industry will depend on Wenzhou. He said, "In two weeks, my company landed in Longwan, Wenzhou, which showed me the open attitude towards AI technology and the speed of Wenzhou's business environment. ”
It is not unreasonable for Wenzhou to be favored by many AI content practitioners. Wenzhou has a very strong foundation in digital intelligence, with advantages such as data security, high-quality datasets, green energy, and intellectual property rights. Jin Chuanla, Deputy Director of Wenzhou Data Bureau, said that the city's digital infrastructure has connected the future industrial network of "green energy power computing power data".
Not only that, the person in charge of Wenzhou Cloud Software Valley also unfolded a map on site: with the "Science and Technology Innovation New City" in eastern Wenzhou as the core, Wenzhou Avenue, Ouhai Avenue, and Airport Avenue run in parallel, and urban rail transit runs vertically and horizontally. One end is connected to Wenzhou North Station and Wenzhou Station high-speed railway lines, and the other end is connected to Longwan International Airport railway line, creating a "25 minute" travel circle and becoming an important route for the flow of various production factors.
Indeed, on the one hand, AI empowers the "new three types" of culture to gradually enter reality, and the digital economy welcomes new growth points; On the other hand, under the pattern of accelerated flow of production factors in the "Hangzhou Ningbo Wenzhou" region, Wenzhou, based on the "third pole" of Zhejiang, will also face market tests in promoting the development of AI industry and digital economy.
