On November 13, 2026, the “UniKey AI Short-Drama Launch Platform Conference,” jointly hosted by UniKey, KeyFlow, and Unicorn Park, successfully concluded in the historic city of Xi’an. Under the theme “Empowering Creativity with AI · Bringing Great Stories to the World,” the conference officially opened with the spectacular opening dance performance, Drum Rhythms of Splendor, followed by the official promotional video.

Distinguished guests, industry leaders, investors, and creator representatives gathered at the event, including Chen Shu, Executive Director of Hong Kong Victoria Harbour Capital and Chief Advisor for Capital and Risk Management at UniKey; Xiang Bei (King), UniKey’s Chief Strategic Advisor for the Chinese-speaking Region; Meiling (Larina Anna), Vice President of Operations, International AI Short-Drama Division at UniKey; Chen Yongjun, former General Manager of Shaanxi Tiefeng Real Estate Group Co., Ltd.; Xingxing, a leading figure in UniKey’s Northwest China region; Bai Jufang, a leading entrepreneur in the nanomaterials technology industry; Liu Peng, a core member of UniKey’s Tianrun System; as well as Bai Shangrong, Wang Yunfei, Guo Xiuping, and other distinguished industry representatives.

Together, they witnessed the milestone signing of the acquisition agreement between UniKey and Unicorn Park, as well as the official launch of the platform.

Opening Addresses and Strategic Insights: Building on 910,000 Users to Connect the “AI Production–Global Distribution–Long-Term Capital” Pathway

At the beginning of the conference, Chen Yongjun, former General Manager of Shaanxi Tiefeng Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., delivered the opening address. Drawing on his experience in the real economy and his long-standing interest in the cultural and creative industries, he noted that Xi’an possesses profound historical and cultural heritage, making it a natural “treasure trove of stories.” As artificial intelligence technology rapidly gains adoption, traditional cultural and creative industries are entering a new phase of transformation and upgrading. The integration of AI technology will significantly improve content creation efficiency and help outstanding local stories reach a broader global market.

Following this, Instructor Minghao delivered a comprehensive presentation titled UniKey’s Global Ecosystem Strategy: AI Short-Drama Industry Opportunities and Platform Development Strategy. He explained that UniKey is built around the vision of “Making AI Simple, Accessible, and Easy for Everyone to Use.” It has integrated more than 40 mainstream intelligent agents (Agents), covering text, images, video, data analytics, and other capabilities, into a unified access point. Its global registered user base has exceeded 910,000 and is accelerating toward the one-million-user milestone.

According to the product implementation roadmap, UniKey plans to launch a fully automated AI animation and short-drama launch platform by the end of December 2026, integrating “fundraising, production, operations, promotion, and profit distribution” into one system, with an expected production cost reduction of 80%.

In the first quarter of 2027, the platform will also launch an overseas interactive AI short-drama platform. The initial content library will include three completed short dramas and eight candidate productions. The platform will allow viewers to interact directly with characters, vote to determine storyline developments, and unlock hidden endings.

Regarding its commercial and capital strategy, the platform will generate actual revenue through global AI computing power Token sales, short-drama distribution, and commercial advertising. It plans to allocate the net revenue generated by the platform and short dramas within their first 30 days of release directly toward repurchasing and burning $KEY tokens on the secondary market. Through its commercial entity, Unikey Ltd, the platform will steadily advance its plans for a Nasdaq listing and stock tokenization (RWA) in 2028.

Global Ecosystem Bilingual Launch: Targeting a $14 Billion Market with Five Core Modules and Five Pilot Productions

Immediately afterward, Meiling (Larina Anna), Vice President of Operations, International AI Short-Drama Division at UniKey, delivered a major bilingual Chinese-English presentation titled UP Global AIGC Short-Drama Ecosystem Launch.

Drawing on industry data from Omdia and Sensor Tower, she pointed out that global micro-drama market revenue is projected to reach $14 billion in 2026 and nearly $25 billion by 2031. In the first quarter of 2026 alone, global short-drama app downloads exceeded 850 million, demonstrating rapid market growth. However, the industry continues to face practical challenges, including intensive post-production editing, difficulties with overseas localization, and the lack of standardized reconciliation mechanisms for commercial partnerships.

In response, Unicorn Park (UP), guided by the philosophy “Every Great Story Deserves a Next Chapter,” officially unveiled five core modules covering the entire lifecycle of content production and operations:

• UPM: Standardized production and delivery.

• UPG: Project incubation and development.

• UPP: Content distribution and monetization.

• UPI: Management and licensing of digital characters.

• CoUP: Team collaboration around specific tasks.

Within its UPP content operations roadmap, the platform proposed a distribution model featuring paid early access during the first three months after a premiere, followed by free viewing supported by advertising monetization after three months. It also established “zero platform commission on content revenue” as a creator partnership objective, while introducing verifiable order reconciliation mechanisms.

The event also featured screenings of five pilot productions across different genres: Treasure of the Deep Sea, Silver Hunter, Empty Cicada, The Grim Reaper Has a Companion, and Between the Speed. The platform further clarified that its next phase of real-world business pilots would be driven by three key criteria: “Content Validation, Audience Validation, and Partnership Validation.”

Acquisition Signing and Official Platform Launch: Joining Forces to Accelerate Global Commercial Implementation

The conference then reached its most significant milestone: the acquisition agreement signing ceremony between the UniKey platform and the UP short-drama platform, followed by the official platform launch celebration.

Chen Shu, Executive Director of Hong Kong Victoria Harbour Capital and Chief Capital and Risk Management Officer at UniKey, and Larina Anna (Meiling), Vice President of Operations, International AI Short-Drama Division at UniKey, formally signed the agreement as representatives of both parties.

This acquisition integrates UniKey’s AI technology aggregation infrastructure, global user traffic, and capital and risk management capabilities with Unicorn Park’s industrialized film and television production and overseas distribution and operations systems, achieving deep integration of resources and capabilities between the two parties.

Following the signing, several distinguished guests took the stage together to activate the launch installation. Amid the countdown from the audience, the UniKey AI Short-Drama Launch Platform was officially activated, marking the transition of the three parties' collaboration into a new phase of full-chain commercial operations.

Strengthening Local Roots in Xi’an and Presenting a Comprehensive Strategic Outlook: Uniting Local Strengths and Defining the Next Phase of Development

During the regional representatives' sharing session, Bai Jufang, a leading entrepreneur in the nanomaterials technology industry, shared her perspective on the emerging AI opportunities from the standpoint of an entrepreneur in the real economy. Drawing on her cross-industry journey, from graduating from Xi’an University of Political Science and Law and working in engineering and construction to entering the nanomaterials industry in 2024 and actively embracing artificial intelligence in 2026, she shared her insights into the opportunities AI presents.

She stated that from physical manufacturing to digital content, technological innovation has always been a key driving force behind business breakthroughs. She looks forward to leveraging Xi’an’s rich cultural and industrial foundations, connecting with global AI resources, and helping more local projects reach the international stage.

Subsequently, Liu Peng, a core member of UniKey’s Tianrun System, shared insights into the development of regional teams and frontline market expansion in Xi’an. He called on local partners to build consensus and pursue practical collaboration, using Xi’an as a starting point to bring high-quality products and content to markets across China and overseas.

As the conference drew to a close, Xiang Bei, UniKey’s Chief Strategic Advisor for the Chinese-speaking Region, delivered a comprehensive concluding address. He reviewed the platform’s development trajectory across four dimensions: strategic positioning, ecosystem development, industry opportunities, and future direction.

He pointed out that the long-term growth of a platform requires not only clear top-level strategy and capital planning, but also solid ecosystem collaboration and tangible business implementation at the frontline. He stated that with the completion of the acquisition agreement and the official launch of the platform, the parties had established a complete bridge connecting AI tools, content creation, and global distribution and monetization. He encouraged all partners to seize the opportunities presented by AI-powered creation and the global expansion of short dramas, turning every step of business development into tangible progress and measurable results.

The event concluded successfully with the auspicious closing dance performance, The Auspicious Lion Brings Blessings, followed by a group photograph of all distinguished guests.

A thousand years ago, the ancient city of Xi’an connected the world through the Silk Road. Today, AI technology is giving Eastern stories new wings to reach global audiences. The successful conclusion of this Xi’an conference not only completed the resource integration and official platform launch of UniKey and Unicorn Park, but also advanced AI short dramas from “single-point technological exploration” into a practical new phase of “standardized production, global distribution, and long-term capital collaboration.”

Looking ahead, UniKey, KeyFlow, and Unicorn Park will continue to uphold the philosophy of openness and mutual benefit, opening their doors to global creators, IP rights holders, brand advertisers, and distribution partners. With lower barriers to content creation and more transparent reconciliation and revenue distribution mechanisms, the three parties aim to help more high-quality content transcend language and geographical boundaries, achieve tangible commercial returns in the global micro-drama market, and jointly usher in a new chapter for the AI content industry.
