Shen Yunhua felt as if he had been hit by the god of luck, and his whole head was dizzy!

It is extremely fortunate to be able to help Zhang Chu translate "Artificial Intelligence", which can help him open up his popularity and receive more translation work for his works.

As a result, the translated version was handed over and sent directly to the editorial office of The New Yorker.

Although Shen Yunhua lives in Los Angeles on the West Coast, he has heard of the name of this magazine on the East Coast for a long time!

The magazine is read not only by New Yorkers, but also by people in other cities across the United States, and even by readers in other countries around the world.

This happiness came so fast like a tornado!

He was now vaguely worried, could his translated writing really be recognized by The New Yorker?

Shen Yunhua, who is not a professional translator, feels that he seems to have become the one who drags his feet, and if a professional person engaged in literary translation does it, it is estimated that the place to be revised will be much better.

Who would have thought that a Ph.D. student in physics in an electrical lab would have the opportunity to publish an article in the famous New Yorker?

Even if the article is translated.

Shen Yunhua thought about it, and he decided to share the news with his friends.

He is certified as a book reviewer on Weibo, but his influence is not particularly large, only 100,000 followers.

Of course, such a monumental moment must be known to more people.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, just like brocade clothes at night!

"The real exclusive revelation that Zhang Chu's sci-fi short story will appear in The New Yorker magazine next week, taking up the most space in nearly two decades. Friends who like Zhang Chu can buy it and collect it. ”

Shen Yunhua's Weibo fans are not active, and the reason why they pay attention is because Shen Yunhua usually writes book reviews from the perspective of young readers, and does not chew on words and quote classics like those book reviewers of the older generation.

Now after seeing this so-called exclusive revelation, only a small part of these followers are Zhang Chu's readers, and they are a little surprised.

"It's a bit awesome, it's all New Yorker!"

"Artificial intelligence? I don't even know what this book is. ”

"Upstairs, did you just come back from Mars?"

"It's not so easy for New Yorkers to connect to the village, and people only publish one article a week. ”

"It sounds like this magazine is very ordinary, it's just the last magazine, is it so surprising?"

Most people have never heard of The New Yorker, but those who know its name know how difficult it is.

When Shen Yunhua's news was spread by Zhang Chu's fans, many people remained skeptical.

What a thing without warning!

For ordinary people, it's just a magazine, and it doesn't seem to be anything special.

It's not the cover of the last time magazine, it's just put it on.

is probably because Zhang Chu's previous achievements are too good and dazzling, and it is a trivial matter compared to "The New Yorker".

Compared with the calmness of domestic fans, the fans on the Internet are too happy!

They've been looking forward to the English version of Artificial Intelligence for weeks, and now they're finally seeing a glimmer of hope!

Obviously able to write in English, but always waited long after the Chinese version was released to release the English version.

Foreign readers are envious of the good luck of domestic readers, and they can't wait to pass the Chinese grade 10 exam quickly!

"It's finally out, I thought Zhang Chu had no plans for an English version. ”

"New Yorkers, the ones I don't like the most are New Yorkers, it's too pretending!"

"Don't you want to find a magazine in the UK? New York is too far away, I want to buy a physical magazine!"

"It seems that you can subscribe to the electronic version on Amazon or Apple Store and the official website of New Yorker, so buy this issue. ”

"It's a miracle that The New Yorker would publish Artificial Intelligence. ”

"God! But when will Norwegian Forest come out? I can't wait!"

Shen Yunhua swiped the comments on Twitter and smiled, his name would not be known at all when he was not officially met with the public.

In the vast majority of translated works, readers are familiar with the author of the original work, and do not know who the translator is.

Shen Yunhua had expected this situation for a long time, he just wanted to be a little famous in the Chinese writers' circle, so that he could receive more translation jobs!

The cost of living in the United States is very high, and he only gets a half-prize for his Ph.D., so he has to prepare a lot of tuition and living expenses by himself.

Now that I'm almost 30 years old, I'm very embarrassed to ask my parents for money again.

So self-reliance is key.

Now that he looks at the balance number in his bank card, the smile on his face is even deeper!

I thought that hugging Zhang Chu's thigh would only increase my job opportunities, but I never thought that I would make money by translating short stories.

But now he found that Zhang Chu's thighs were actually golden, no wonder he could earn 300 million yuan a year at a young age!

I've always heard that The New Yorker dominates the American literary scene, with high quality and fat manuscript fees.

Publishing an article on it is a stepping stone to fame, and generally the author posts a short story on it, and the publisher will target it and ask for a long one.

It is rumored that the manuscript fee of this magazine is very high, and the manuscript fee of a short article is often worth the publication of a book.

Now Shen Yunhua has finally experienced it himself, and sure enough, the rumors are true!

Manuscript fees for U.S. publications generally range from $750 to $2,000 per 1,000 words, depending on the writer and the work.

The average writer can basically achieve a dollar in a word, and two dollars in a big magazine like Vanity Fair is not a difficult thing to do.

And top copywriters can be five dollars, ten dollars!

The New Yorker magazine has a base fee of $1,500 per 1,000 words, and now Artificial Intelligence has negotiated a fee of $3,000 per 1,000 words.

If it is Shen Yunhua's own original, then he can definitely only get the most basic figures.

But Zhang Chu is different, he has already been tested in the market, and at the same time, Random House editor Blair helps to maneuver around, and it is normal to get double the figure of the basic manuscript fee!

One word is $3, and 30,000 words is $90,000.

According to the ratio of 55 points, Shen Yunhua got $45,000 in manuscript fees.

helped Zhang Chu translate a short story and got such a generous remuneration, Shen Yunhua didn't know what to say, anyway, this thigh was fixed!

Many full-time copywriters in the U.S. can only earn this number a year, but here it is only half the income of short stories.

The earning power of top writers is indeed far beyond the imagination of the masses!
