Chinese cities are competing to host AI filmmakers with rent waivers, living allowances and subsidised compute, treating AI video like EVs and solar. We map the subsidies, show how production costs fell from 5,000 yuan a minute to a few hundred, cover the platforms betting on it and the new rules, and explain what the overcapacity signs mean for businesses that buy video.
Fountain 0 released Odysseus: The Fall on 16 September 2026, billing it as the first completely AI generated film produced at the level of a big budget Hollywood movie.
