侯超 / Hou Chao

Hou Chao is the 日新月异 / Rixin Yiy representative in 269.真人短剧的下一战:与AI共生、工业化和好故事. He speaks for the high-throughput, operations-led side of Live-Action Short Drama, where script supply, tag systems, middle-office coordination, repeated scenes, costume/prop reuse, and project scheduling decide how many dramas a company can safely run.

His strongest frame is economic discipline. Hou says the goal of high capacity is not producing for its own sake, but amplifying validated returns when ROI is above one; the first priority is principal safety, followed by profit scale. He also argues that short-drama spending should go only where users can actually see or feel the result.

The episode also shows Hou’s AI posture as pragmatic rather than replacement-driven. He sees AI as useful for fantasy and spectacle, but also as company infrastructure: AI editing, script tools, databases, electronic continuity notes, actor notifications, field scheduling, labor records, and project-gate checks all support Short Drama Industrialization.
