Platform introduction:
神笔马良AI is a "early film and television efficiency hub" created for "domestic film and television screenwriters, directors, production teams, film and television companies, advertising agencies, film and television colleges". It solves four types of industry pain points: Very low efficiency : Traditional lens splitter design requires the lens splitter to manually disassemble the script. A long script (such as 128 plays) takes several days to complete, and the labor cost exceeds 10,000 yuan; Communication barriers : The script text is prone to understanding deviations (such as the visual differences of "Melancholy Swordsman"), and team collaboration requires repeated communication, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; Visualization is difficult : When venture capital roadshows and project submissions, it is difficult for pure text scripts to intuitively display the visual potential of the story, making it easy to miss cooperation opportunities; The threshold is too high : Small and medium-sized teams lack professional lens splitters, which makes it difficult to complete high-quality early visualization, which restricts the implementation of ideas.
Its core logic is to "reconstruct pre-creation with 'AI vertical integration + film and television process adaptation'": no professional lens separation skills are needed, and AI automatically disassembles the script to generate dynamic lens separation; no need to repeatedly communicate, and visualize storyboards unify team cognition; No need to compromise efficiency, shortening hours of work to tens of minutes; There is no need to worry about adaptation. The analysis of Chinese scripts is highly consistent with domestic aesthetics, allowing "early visualization of film and television" to shift from "exclusive to professional camera splitters" to "standardized processes that can be quickly implemented by the whole team", adapting everything from independent creation to large-scale film and television projects. Full pre-stage needs.
Core functions:
1. Core: Four major film and television early AI capabilities
(1) One-click intelligent script analysis: Deep understanding of the core of the story
Solve the problem of "slow script dismantling and difficult core information extraction" and lay the early foundation:
- Support uploading scripts in.doc/.txt format (short/long/medium and short stories can be used). AI completes "plot extraction, structure sorting, character relationship analysis, and key plot extraction" within 1 minute to generate a concise summary;
- Case: When analyzing original medium and short stories, you can quickly sort out the outline of the story; disassembling the classic myth "神笔马良" can accurately extract the core plot of "getting the pen-painting comes true-resisting corrupt officials"; handling the long "The Story of the Rose", the logic of 128 games can be clearly divided, and a screenwriter reported that "the efficiency is 50 times higher than that of manual combing."
(2) Intelligent character creation: restoring the characters in the script
Solve the problem of "difficult character visualization and large description deviation" and unify role cognition:
- Automatically generate character system : According to the script description (such as "20-year-old girl with long golden brown hair, gentle and tenacious"), AI generates "character biographies (character/background)+AI portraits (visual image)" to cover all appearances. Character, avoid omissions;
- The details are adjustable and controllable : Support manual or AI-assisted adjustment of character descriptors (such as correcting "gender confusion, age bias") to ensure that the image conforms to the script settings (such as "Ancient Style Swordsman" can adjust the dress details and facial demeanor), a production team used this function to unify the visual standards of "talented women in the Republic of China" and reduce team communication costs by 30%.
(3) Intelligent split mirror creation: script → core functions of dynamic storyboard
Solve the problem of "slow mirror design and insufficient professionalism" and adapt to all pre-stage scenarios:
- Automatic disassembly of sessions and shots : AI splits the script into "sessions → shots" according to the logic of film and television. For example, the short story "神笔马良" is divided into 3 sessions and 68 shots, and the long story "The Story of the Rose" is divided into 128 sessions and hundreds of shots, creating a dynamic storyboard (video format) with coherent pictures;
- Intelligent design of lens language : Automatically matches lens type (close-up/panoramic/mid-range) and lens movement (push/pull/pan), such as "character dialogue" using mid-range, and "emotional outburst" using close-up, without manual design;
- Adapting multiple painting styles : Supports 8 painting styles such as "national style costumes, future science fiction, 3D animation, and suspense crime". Users can choose on demand (such as national style for costume dramas, and future science fiction for science fiction films). An advertising team used "3D animation style" to create product concept lens, and the pass rate of customer proposals increased by 40%.
(4) Intelligent line reading and audio-visual integration: Let the story "sound" move
Solve the problem of "storyboards have poor immersion and single preview effect" and improve the display effect:
- AI dubbing : Automatically generate personal-friendly voices for different characters (such as "old people use low voices, girls use clear and sweet voices") to evaluate the naturalness of the conversation;
- Sound effects and soundtrack : Automatically add background music according to the plot (such as suspense scenes with deep sound effects, warm scenes with light music) to generate a dynamic storyboard with "sound and pictures". A venture capital team used this function to create a roadshow video, investors reported that "it is easier to plug in than a pure picture storyboard, and you can intuitively feel the atmosphere of the story."
(5) Refined adjustment of details: ensure accurate implementation of ideas
Solve the problem of "uncontrollable AI generation and detailed deviation" and adapt to personalized needs:
- Support manual adjustment of "scenery (such as changing panoramic view to close-up), color tone (such as changing warm color to cool color), and character movements (such as 'waving' to 'smile')", and can also be optimized through AI generation of prompts;
- Error correction function: If the AI confuses the character's gender and misjudges the age, it can edit the lens parting prompt to correct (such as "Change the male character to a 25-year-old female with long hair and red lips"). A director uses this function to adjust the "martial arts character's action details" to ensure that the lens parting meets the shooting expectations.
Applicable population and scenario value
(1) Film and television screenwriter/director
- Core requirements : Quickly visualize scripts and verify creative visual potential;
- Core functions : script analysis, split lens generation, detail adjustment;

(4) Film and television colleges/students
- Core requirements : Learn the transformation logic from script to lens division, complete homework and creation;
- Core functions : full-process generation, detail adjustment, free internal testing;
- Scene value : Students from a film and television college used this function to complete the lens separation of their graduation works without professional lens separation skills. The work won a school-level award, saying that it "helps understand the connection between lens language and script."
Unique advantages and disadvantages
(1) Core advantages (compared with general AI tools)
- High vertical adaptability of film and television : The only tool specially designed for the early stage of film and television, deeply integrates the entire process of "script-character-mirror-dubbing", which is more suitable for the industry than general video tools (such as Runway and Kling AI). Demand (General tools focus on video generation, without script disassembly or session split);
- Excellent optimization of the Chinese context : Accurately understand the semantics of Chinese scripts (such as the cultural connotation of "swordsmen" and "talented women of the Republic of China") and character descriptions (such as the visual expression of "melancholy and restrained"). The dubbing is also in line with Chinese spoken habits and is superior to overseas tools;
- The efficiency has been significantly improved : Shorten the traditional few days of filming work to tens of minutes, reducing labor costs by 90%. A small and medium-sized film and television team reported that "the early visualization cost of an online drama has been reduced from 50,000 to 5000 yuan";
- Industry resource endorsement : Relying on Cat's Eye Entertainment, we have a more professional understanding of the structure of the film and television script and lens language. The generated lens meets industry production standards and can be directly used for actual shooting reference.
(2) Current deficiencies
- High access threshold : Strictly limited internal testing, you need to submit an application for "identity (such as screenwriter/student)+ purpose of use". Only after passing the review can you experience it, which is difficult for ordinary users to use it immediately;
- Controllability needs to be improved : The lens and character portraits generated by AI may deviate from the creator's expectations (such as the "cold villain" being moderate) and require extensive manual adjustments. The degree of refinement depends on the user's ability to prompt words;
- Strong industry limitations : It only serves pre-film scenes, ordinary users (such as Short Video creators) have almost no practical value, and the applicable audience is narrow;
- Functions to be improved : The current internal beta version has no advanced functions such as batch generation and complex multi-camera design, which cannot meet the scale needs of large-scale projects for the time being.
precautions
- Internal testing application skills : When applying, you need to clearly state "professional background (such as '5 years of film and television screenwriter, with 3 online drama experience')+ specific use scenarios (such as' developing costume suspense scripts for venture capital roadsa')", which can improve the review pass rate;
- Content adjustment suggestions : After generating the split lens, priority should be given to checking the "character image, lens type, plot matching degree". If there is any deviation, manually correct it through the "edit prompt"(such as "Change the panoramic view of the split lens 3 to the character's facial close-up, highlighting the melancholy feeling in his eyes");
- Commercial authorization prompt : The internal beta version is only used for non-commercial experiences (such as learning, project trial and error). For official commercial purposes (such as financing roadshows, advertising proposals), you need to wait for the official open paid version to obtain clear authorization to avoid infringement;
- Data security : Confirm the "authorized user access only" mechanism before uploading scripts. Sensitive scripts (if the original IP has not been released) suggest avoiding uploading unnecessary content, or selecting the enterprise version for subsequent privatization deployment;
- Focus on Function Updates : The functions continue to iterate during the internal testing phase. It is recommended to pay attention to the official notice of Cat's Eye Entertainment and obtain timely online information on advanced functions such as "batch generation and multi-camera design".
