DouBao PR responds to “150,000 extras fed into the model”: The rumor is seriously inaccurate.

Liu Xing, the PR head of Doubao, issued a statement debunking the rumor that “Hengdian has partnered with ByteDance to feed the portraits and voices of 150,000 extras into ByteDance’s large AI model,” calling it seriously inaccurate. He explained that the real “Hengdian Film & TV AI Service Platform” aims to build public digital infrastructure, organizing on‑site assets such as the film studio’s real‑world locations into high‑quality datasets to help production crews efficiently scout locations, prepare, and shoot, while also lowering the barrier for small and medium‑sized film and TV companies to adopt AI, enabling more creators to produce quality work.
