The reporter consulted Mr. Yang, a senior product manager at an Internet company, for this project, and he said that the development cost of the robot is not high, and only a stable resource library is needed to realize the automatic drama search function through code. The whole project is still "old-fashioned" - through virality, it continues to grow offline and earn rebates.
