Recently, Lingjing Wanwei (Hangzhou) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Lingjing AI”), a leading domestic “AI animation industry production platform”, announced that it has completed a new round of financing of tens of millions of yuan in the Angel+ round. The round was led by Guoke Investment, with additional investment from existing shareholder Borui Capital. Gaohu Capital acted as exclusive financial advisor.
The funds obtained from this financing will be used to expand Lingjing AI’s advantages in large-scale mass production of AI animation, build a creator ecosystem centered on Lingjing AI animation, and develop the overseas animation platform market.
This is the third funding round that Lingjing AI has completed this year, less than two months after the previous round. This represents the high reputation of Lingjing AI’s team in the capital market in terms of breakthrough advances in AI technology, speed of commercialization, and future prospects.
Business and technology verification: Building a full-link AI animation solution from “idea to story” and realizing large-scale production
Lingjing AI has established a mature AI animation production line, including two technology routes: original animation and short drama conversion, and has achieved large-scale production.
The self-developed animation production system covers three main segments: creative topic selection, AI scriptwriting, and AI animation production.
Creative topic selection: The company’s online literary big data product builds an animated topic selection solution based on “big data + creative insights”, covering data for content themes such as novels, animation, short dramas, etc. Use market feedback and trends from big data to guide content creation, reduce uncertainty in content creation, and increase the success rate of hit products. AI Scriptwriting: Our in-house developed AI scriptwriting tool covers long and short script writing, assists in idea generation and basic script content creation, and improves scriptwriter efficiency. It can also disassemble and extract content from tens of millions of words of online novels, significantly shortening the novel adaptation cycle. AI Animation Production: Covers the entire link in AI animation production, including novel adaptations, storyboarding screenplays, image generation, rendering motion effects, voiceover sound effects, and more. The production cost for the same animation output is reduced to 3% compared to traditional animation production companies, and production efficiency is increased by more than 20 times.
In terms of production capacity, currently, thanks to Lingjing AI’s self-developed DIT animation production architecture and pipeline, one animator can consistently produce several tens of minutes of high-quality animation content per month. This production capability not only far exceeds the traditional animation production model, but also leads the AI animation industry. The market-leading ability to produce high-quality animations will lay a solid foundation for Lingjing’s stable content supply to subsequent overseas animation platforms.
Second, in terms of production quality, Lingjing AI benchmarks against the production standards of Japanese anime series in mature markets. With self-developed multimodal large-scale models and sophisticated control technology, the animation works produced by Lingjing AI are close to the production standards of mainstream Japanese anime series in terms of richness of character expression, fluidity of action, scene detail, and color saturation, demonstrating the disruptive transformation of traditional content production methods by AI technology.

AI animation’s expansion into the world: placement of overseas content platforms, beginning of a journey to the world
In addition to breakthrough advancements in technology and production capabilities, Lingjing AI has also embarked on a global content strategy. Lingjing AI is committed to building systems that adapt to different cultures.

Next, we will continue to deepen our technology, expand our production capacity advantages, and actively provide high-quality AI animation content to audiences around the world. We hope to ride the wave of the times with the idea of technology + industry and help Chinese culture shine on the broader world stage.”
