iQiyi's Nadou Pro Brings AI Magic to Film Production
iQiyi's Game-Changing AI for Filmmakers
In a move that could transform how movies and TV shows get made, iQiyi launched its Nadou Pro platform on March 30. This isn't your average AI tool—it's China's first professional-grade intelligent system designed specifically for film and television production.
From Script to Screen in One Place
The platform acts like a digital production assistant, handling the entire creative process. Need a script idea? Nadou Pro can generate one. Storyboards looking rough? The AI can visualize scenes. It even helps polish the final product before it hits screens.
What makes Nadou Pro special is how it combines multiple cutting-edge AI models—including iQiyi's own Qizhi system with others like Ji Meng and Vidu—to understand the complex language of filmmaking.
Built by Creators, For Creators
Since late 2025, iQiyi's internal teams have been quietly testing Nadou Pro on real projects. The results? Features like "material search" and "blockbuster prompts" that actually speak filmmakers' language.
"We didn't want another generic AI tool," explains Liu Wenfeng, iQiyi's Senior VP. "Nadou Pro was built specifically to fit into how professionals actually work—blending creation, production and operations into one smooth workflow."
Why This Matters Now
As AI transforms creative industries, Nadou Pro represents more than just cool tech. It shows how specialized "intelligent bodies" might solve real problems in specific fields. For filmmakers drowning in tight deadlines and budgets, this could be the efficiency boost they've been waiting for.
The big question: Will audiences notice the difference when their favorite shows get an AI assist behind the scenes?
Key Points:
- All-in-one solution: Handles scripting, storyboarding and final production
- Industry-specific: Designed for professional filmmakers' unique needs
- Multiple AI brains: Combines Qizhi with other leading models
- Already tested: Used on real iQiyi productions since late 2025
- Future potential: Could redefine efficiency in entertainment production
