On January 13, 2026, Qingdao's Shinan District released its first AIGC short film "Shinan 2025: Mountains and Sea Report" — using AI generation technology to comprehensively showcase the district's annual economic development and urban construction achievements. Traditional filming requires weeks of production time and budgets of hundreds of thousands of yuan, while an AIGC solution can complete the entire process from material organization to final delivery within one week. This marks the official entry of local government investment promotion into the era of intelligent production.
Why County Governments Need AI for Investment Promotion Videos
Traditional investment promotional videos typically use a live-action filming plus voiceover format — with long production cycles and high costs, usually ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 yuan per video. By converting professional content into AI-generated videos, information delivery efficiency can increase by more than four times, significantly improving the decision-making experience for investors. County governments at all levels need to showcase their industrial foundations, business environments, and policy advantages to investors at investment promotion events. AIGC solutions can quickly transform key information such as "key industrial parks," "tax incentive policies," and "talent recruitment measures" into 3-5 minute comprehensive themed videos — using AI-generated visuals paired with professional voiceover narration.
Main Technical Approaches
Fully Automated AI Generation
After uploading county economic data and industrial materials to an AIGC platform, the system automatically extracts key information and generates an animation framework. The entire process requires no human intervention, and finished videos can be delivered in as little as one week. This approach is suitable for routine investment promotion content updates at the county level.
AI Plus Professional Refinement Hybrid Workflow (Suitable for Formal Projects)
First, use AIGC tools to generate a basic visual framework and digital avatar narration segments, then have the publicity department review the script content. This adds professional editorial review and customized live-action footage of industrial parks, making it suitable for the formal requirements of major investment promotion events. It ensures the accuracy of economic data and the authority of policy statements. While production timelines and costs increase, this approach significantly enhances government credibility.
Content Compliance Notes
First, investment promotion videos must cite officially published economic data and policy documents. Second, any visuals involving government leaders' speeches must have scripts reviewed by the publicity department before being submitted for AI generation. Third, in accordance with the "Labeling Measures," all AI-generated visuals must include the caption "This video was produced with artificial intelligence assistance" at the end of the video.
Recommended Production Workflow
Step 1: Organize the county's industrial foundation and economic data, and mark key information points (priority parks / incentive policies / talent measures). Step 2: Use AIGC tools to extract key content and automatically generate a basic visual framework — you can mix in real aerial footage of industrial parks to enhance the sense of immersion. Step 3: Import into editing software to add professional voiceover narration and multilingual subtitle packaging.
