Dumb's recording studio is located near the Shili River, in the southeast of the imperial capital. This is a very magical community in the imperial capital, and the magic lies in the fact that the housing prices are super cheap.

It is said that this is a group of relocated houses, which are all occupied by the demolition generation, and everyone has a few suites in their hands. This is awesome, the housing price has formed a huge depression, and even the real estate that radiates to the Pan Jiayuan next to it has also provided many cheap houses in the third ring road to Beipiao.

Uncle Sheng proposed to visit, and Ah Mu was naturally welcome without anything, and when Chu Yuanxi stepped on the light of the street lamp and walked into his recording studio, he was recording an audio novel.

Outside, the hustle and bustle of the Shili River faintly swept the residential buildings, even if it was already night.

In the recording studio, there are mixers, condenser microphones, song ordering machines, etc., and the microphones are also covered with pop filters, which looks very professional. Ah Mu is a fairly young man, with a youthful and beautiful face and raw collagen, and his eyebrows and eyes look like he is less than 20 His youth was beyond Chu Yuanxi's expectations. After all, in the original world, he had only heard of this man, but he had never seen him.

When Chu Yuanxi expressed his intentions, Ah Lu was obviously not interested, and said to Uncle Sheng: "Uncle, do you know how profitable it is to record audio novels now?"

"I don't know. Uncle Sheng and Chu Yuanxi glanced at each other, feeling a little choked.

"The finished product is basically more than six dollars a minute, and this is still when I am not famous. Ah Mu was not very interested, and said: "Count the work before and after, don't cut corners, rest according to statutory holidays, and earn more than 15,000 a month, and 20,000 yuan if you are diligent." ”

"I'll give you fifteen thousand, the work won't be as much as normal work, and it will definitely be longer than the rest time on statutory holidays. Chu Yuanxi saw that Ah Mu had something to say, so he directly stood his palm and said: "I know, the price will definitely rise after you finish recording a few copies, your strength is very strong, and the works that you can adapt to are also very wide, and then there will be more than 15,000 or 20,000, maybe 350,000 or more." But!"

Speaking of which, Chu Yuanxi paused, seeing that Ah Mu was really listening carefully, and then he felt that this person should have the value of cooperation. If Ah Du is the kind of fool who doesn't have the heart to listen to what others say after recognizing an idea, Chu Yuanxi will most likely leave politely after saying a few words, instead of bothering with him.

"But, number one, the market is volatile. Now there are abundant orders and the future is not necessarily, because CV will also increase, so it is not easy to say whether the price will increase or fall, after all, although full-time CV is rare, but there are many part-time anchors, and the anchors can also record audio novels. Let's think the price will go up now.

Second, if you record works for others, you can only increase your popularity on the B-side, and have almost no impact on the C-side, and you will not gain any fans, so you will not have any marginal value. If you record an audio novel, you must know the value of fans and influencers, which is a pity.

Thirdly, recording audio novels will not improve your skills in any way, which means that even if the price increases in the next few years, your income will increase, but you will not grow much. In other words, you are exchanging a possible high salary in the future for growth potential. It should be noted that this high salary is not stable, not only because of the price, but also because there may be no one to record audio novels in the future. ”

"Why is there no one to record audio novels? Listening to books is a general trend in the future, right?" Uncle Sheng was puzzled, he was no stranger to this field, and in fact, no one had ever looked for him, but he refused without hesitation because of his folk dream.

"You're right, just because listening to books is a general trend and the demand is strong, haven't you ever thought about artificial intelligence to produce audio novels?

"Isn't that experience good now?" said the dumb with a little weakness.

"You said it was now. Chu Yuanxi smiled, "Reading audio novels is nothing more than training artificial intelligence's emotional selection scheme is a difficult point, everything else is easy, the easiest is pronunciation, followed by emotional expression." Now even video has an AI solution, let alone output audio. The question is, how difficult is this compared to playing Go? Do you know how much the level of AI playing Go has improved since Alpha Dog won Ke Jie? Now it is not too easy for AI to abuse humans, and it has only been a few months?

This is still AI playing Go, which has no commercial value. The audio novel market is so big, and the labor cost is so high, do you think AI can hold it? Artificial intelligence is not just a joke about stealing human jobs. It's really not good, just find a few AI trainers and doxing it, it's enough. ”

After listening to Chu Yuanxi's words, Ah Dumb was uncertain, and said very entangledly: "If you don't have a lot of work, wouldn't it be better to have a piecework system?" You outsource the workload to me, and I will ship it to you after we communicate, the cost of a single piece may be higher, but you don't have to pay me for eight hours a day, you are more economical." ”

"No, no, we want the whole team to work together, and it is impossible to pay such a high time cost in the communication process. What we do is a product with feelings and life, a short 15-second video may be AG ten times or twenty times, outsourcing is impossible to outsource, it is impossible to outsource in this life.

To put it mildly, everyone else has to be used by one person for two or three, and you can't accept this arrangement, so for me their time is more expensive than yours, and it is a waste of your time to waste it, and it is impossible to make them wait for you. Chu Yuanxi felt that everything that should be said was said, and the rest could only be left to the other party for consideration, and finally added: "Otherwise, why should I pull Uncle Sheng all the way to BJ to start a business?"

Uncle Sheng looked at Chu Yuanxi's face and said, "Actually, dumb, you can take audio novels as a side hustle, right?" Although we are at work, we can produce a few video works a day at most, and some of them are pure music dances, and we don't need CV to work. ”

"Yes, we must be off work at eight hours, but we don't have to spend eight hours, and we can leave without your business, and some days we don't even use it. You can record how you like to record after work, and make sure that you are full of vitality when you go to work. But!"

Chu Yuanxi stopped again but: "I like to have something to say in front of me." However, there are also many kinds of options for start-ups, one type of venture partner, another kind of employee incentive, and a qualified partner can't start a business while doing part-time work on his own, you know what I mean?"

"I understand, options or anything can't be talked about yet. Ah Du pretended to be generous and said, "I can go with you first, it's not that I agree now, as for what form and so on." Actually, I'm quite interested in what you said about the gameplay. ”

What he said was the pen painting gameplay described by Chu Yuanxi, which required Chu Yuanxi to find the comic touch and then cooperate, and the comic touch would draw the Q version of the scene painting, and then CV would conduct funny dubbing, and finally synthesize a short video. This form has not yet appeared in this world, but it has been popular for a while in the original world, and the fans and singing and dancing fans do not overlap at all, which is especially attractive to local audiences, and is an indispensable part of the short video map.

It's just that the dumb and generous appearance makes Chu Yuanxi feel a little funny, poor and luxurious young people always value face more than anything else for one reason or another, especially when others take the initiative to talk about money, they have to make a light appearance, as if light wealth can convince people, wasn't it the same before?
