As the first commercially produced short drama project co-created by faculty and students at Jilin Animation Institute, theThis Killer Is Not So Goodseries carries both educational significance and industry relevance. The project adopts a production model of “the classroom as the set and the work as the product,” allowing students to deeply participate in the entire workflow of commercial short drama creation, thereby achieving efficient transformation from theoretical knowledge to professional skills. The experience accumulated through commercial production also feeds back into teaching practice, further embodying the institute’s distinctive “integration of learning, research, and production” model and strengthening industry–education integration. At the same time, this model injects youthful creative energy into the current short drama market, continuously cultivating interdisciplinary talent with both professional competence and innovative thinking for the film and television industry. Based on project development, it also builds a bridge for resource sharing and collaborative growth between universities and enterprises, achieving mutual empowerment and win-win development in both educational and commercial value.
