In March this year, The Last Stop, a 10-episode AI short drama, racked up over 160 million views in the United States. Its creative team is rooted in Futian District, Shenzhen. Also based in Futian, China Wit Media Co., Ltd. produced"Stroke of Genius," China's first AIGC sci-fi live-action micro-short drama.With its views exceeding 100 million on Mango TV, the drama achieved an 80% to 90% AI penetration rate across its core production stages.

Data shows that the global cultural and creative industry generates nearly 2.3 trillion US dollars in annual revenue, contributing 3.1% to global GDP. The total volume of generative AI patent families published in 2024 and 2025 exceeded the cumulative total of the preceding decade, with China emerging as the world's largest source of generative AI patents. Meanwhile, Futian stands right at the forefront of this booming sector.

The district has gathered 422 digital creative enterprises abovethedesignated size, establishing an industrial landscape defined by two 10-billion-yuan and two billion-yuan clusters. Annual revenue for digital planning and design enterprises is projected to exceed 30 billion yuan, while that of digital creative terminal enterprises is expected to top 40 billion yuan, digital fusion and innovation enterprises 8 billion yuan, and digital content creation enterprises 5 billion yuan.

Without leaving Futian, a digital creative company can navigate the complete industrial chain—from IP planning, AIGC script generation, and engine development to hardware testing and global distribution.

In terms of operational scenarios, Futian has translated AI from an abstract concept into five actionable application directions: "AI + Artistic Creation," "AI + Smart Entertainment Terminals," "AI + Literary Creation," "AI + Market Forecasting for Works," and "AI + Analysis and Imitation Learning of Works," reshaping every link of the creative process.

一条产业链跑通全球！福田数字创意产业乘风出海

今年3月，一部仅10集的AI短剧《The Last Stop 末世驿站》在美国拿下超1.6亿播放量。它的创作团队扎根在深圳福田。同样在福田，中汇影视打造的国内首部AIGC科创真人微短剧《神·笔》在芒果TV播放量破亿，核心制作环节AI渗透率达80%—90%。

有数据显示，全球文化创意产业年营收接近2.3万亿美元，贡献全球GDP的3.1%。在2024-2025两年公开的生成式AI专利族总量超过此前十年总和。中国成为全球生成式AI专利最大来源国。而福田，正站在这个爆发式增长赛道的前沿。

这里已汇聚规上数字创意企业422家，形成“两个百亿级、两个十亿级”产业格局——数字规划设计企业全年营收预计超300亿元，数字创意终端企业营收超400亿元，数字融合创新企业营收超80亿元，数字内容创作企业营收超50亿元。

一家数字创意公司，不出福田，就能跑通从IP策划、AIGC剧本生成、引擎开发、硬件测试到出海发行的全链条。

场景上，福田把AI从概念拆解成了五个可落地对接的应用方向——“AI+艺术创作”“AI+智能娱乐终端”“AI+文学创作”“AI+作品市场预测”“AI+作品分析及模仿学习”，重塑创意的每一个环节。
