Chapter 771: AI
When signing a contract with a video company like iQiyi, there is a clause in it that in addition to the price of 1 million yuan per episode, the other is click sharing.
In addition to content and marketing shares, this click share is also very good, especially with such a high number of clicks as Natu, those manufacturers of patch ads are willing to play advertisements in front of works with high traffic.
It's just that the conversion rate of these clicks is different, so for the time being, you have to look at the data given by iQiyi.
Although the popularity of the rabbit is high, because the time of each episode is short and the number of episodes in the first season is not much, it is not as high as those popular palace fighting dramas or small fresh meat leading fantasy dramas in terms of price.
But now after clicking out, the rabbit in the next season is not so cheap to buy, and doubling the price is a normal operation!
If someone else has 3 million or 5 million per episode, even if the rabbit is doubled, it will only be 2 million, which is not very comparable.
However, in terms of derivatives, the rest of the TV series can't catch up with the rabbit even if they sit on the red rabbit horse.
Once a cartoon becomes popular, it creates more than several times the profit of other types of works!
Zhang Chu gave Zhou Kang a thumbs up, and this data was much more explosive than in his previous life.
Of course, there are many reasons for this, but I don't want to go into it now.
It was only eight o'clock in the evening, but it was already dark for almost four or five hours, and Zhang Chu couldn't sleep at all.
It was unusually cold outside, and there was no trace of a single person on the street under the streetlights, and even if you wanted to go out to the bars and other places, you couldn't find your way.
"I'm bored, I knew I was with Anmi!
Zhang Chu vaguely regretted it, and it was a big deal to wait for Sun Ruiqi and them to come back to Yanjing to see the aurora by himself.
Previously, he had anonymously asked Zhihu on the Internet how to find a suitable fellow traveler.
Many people have recommended going to a youth hostel, where you will meet many like-minded people, at least the young people will have fun chatting together.
It doesn't have to be like now, only matcha accompaniment!
However, the accommodation environment of the hostel is sometimes bad, and Zhang Chu is not used to sleeping in the same room with so many strangers.
He glanced at the matcha happily munching on his food, then took his phone in his hand and wandered around.
When I was bored, I suddenly received a private message reminder from Weibo!
Due to the large number of fans, the number of Zhang Chu's private messages will be full in a short period of time after each cleanup, and only messages from people who follow each other will be notified.
Shen Yunhua, who was on the West Coast of the United States, sent the English version of "Artificial Intelligence" to Zhang Chu with a little trepidation, and he didn't know whether the content he translated was suitable for publication.
"I hope everything goes well, such a good story should be seen by more people. ”
Across the Atlantic, Zhang Chu lay on the sofa and received the document.
He typed and said, "I'll see the details first, and I'll give you a review later."
"It's okay, it's okay, if there are mistakes, omissions or deficiencies in it, please point it out, I hope to present the complete content!"
Shen Yunhua really didn't expect Zhang Chu to return almost in seconds, he felt like he was checking the results of the college entrance examination at this moment, both longing and afraid.
Zhang Chu didn't feel much when he saw the title of the book "AI", and his fingers gently slid the screen to read.
This is based on the movie in the Savior system, not the original movie "Super Toys That Summer", so Zhang Chu doesn't know the words and sentences in it.
However, he has intermediate English proficiency, and the story is also translated from his Chinese version, so there is no obstacle to reading.
Tens of thousands of words of Chinese were translated into many English words, and Zhang Chu registered in red the places he felt could be modified while browsing, so the speed was much slower!
When Matcha finished eating its food and began to add its claws and hair to its body with its tongue, it realized that the shoveler was staring intently at the phone screen.
It also quickly ran to the back of the sofa and lay down, wanting to see what was going on.
A few minutes later, Zhang Chu saved the place he had changed, and then sent it to Shen Yunhua.
"There is nothing wrong with the whole, there are very few places where there is ambiguity in the expression, and I think it can be changed a little and sent out. I'll post this on my Facebook page when I'm done with it, or you can post it on my blog or any other social media. ”
As I said before, Shen Yunhua is a voluntary translator and does not have a manuscript fee.
What he needs is fame!
And translating "Artificial Intelligence" can give him such fame!
Zhang Chu added: "I will ask the editors of Random House to help submit this article to magazines in the United States and Europe. It will indicate who the translator is, and if the manuscript fee is generated, it will be distributed according to the industry standard, what do you think?"
"No problem, I can do anything!" Shen Yunhua was extremely excited, his hard work finally paid off!
This is Zhang Chu's sci-fi short story, and with the escort of Random House, those magazines are definitely willing to publish it!
Who can say no to a new book by the author of The Da Vinci Code?
For readers in Europe and the United States, they haven't seen "Norwegian Wood", so "Artificial Intelligence" has become the next installment.
Now "The Da Vinci Code" continues to sell well in Europe, North America, South America, and Australia, and the filming of the movie of the same name is also in full swing.
So his heat is kept up very well!
At the same time, "Artificial Intelligence" is also an extremely good work.
It is reasonable to say that it is impossible for those magazines to reject Zhang Chu's works!
Shen Yunhua quickly corrected the part that Zhang Chu had marked, and Zhang Chu sent the final draft to Chris as an email attachment.
Chris is now a big celebrity in the North American section of Random House, and he single-handedly dug up "The Da Vinci Code".
In North America alone, the combined sales in 2019 and 2020 are estimated to exceed 10 million!
There are still many TV shows that are still discussing Zhang Chu's book, but he is looking forward to Zhang Chu's "Norwegian Forest".
It's just that now lying in Chris's mailbox are the files of "Artificial Intelligence".
As an editor, I don't really like short stories, because it takes at least a lot of articles to be published.
Chris had heard of the article "Artificial Intelligence", which was said to have made many emotional readers cry in China, but the language barrier prevented him from reading.
Now that his wish has finally come true, he plans to take a good look at it and then ask the rest of the company for the contact information of each magazine.

I'm sorry to everyone, today is probably the author's uncle, the whole person is so mourned, I can't write a book with any spirit at all.
