安徽小木匠 / Anhui Xiao Mujiang

Anhui Xiao Mujiang is the AI short-drama work discussed in 267.3000块成本,3.5亿次播放,AI短剧怎么在抖音挣钱?. 小果哥哥 / XiaoGuoGege says the work was adapted from 番茄小说 / Fanqie Novel IP, produced with AI tools, published through Douyin and 红果-related channels, and eventually reached 350 million plays with roughly 500,000 RMB in creator payout.

The episode uses the work as a full-stack case for AI Short Drama: topic selection, source IP, Doubao script adaptation, prompt generation, Seedance-style video generation, reuse of flawed generated material, editing, submission, distributor amplification, and delayed settlement all shaped the outcome. Its rural carpenter topic also matters: the creator chose it because the original story had strong interaction and because woodworking, countryside memory, and practical craft resonated with broad older and rural audiences.

Key Points

  • Reported production cost was under 3,000 RMB, mainly compute/tool cost, but the creator invested intensive time and editing labor.
  • The source says first-day and first-month playback growth was rapid, eventually reaching 350 million plays.
  • Distributor and ad-buying amplification, rather than pure organic recommendation, likely drove much of the scale.
  • The work depended on a 番茄小说 / Fanqie Novel IP-adaptation route that the episode says later closed, limiting direct replication.
  • The work is a positive case for AI Video Production Workflow but a cautionary case for revenue predictability and platform dependence.
