Honkai Impact: Join anti-entropy at the beginning to dominate the entertainment industry

Of course, the most important thing is the ending, a huge reversal without any foreshadowing, which has an explosive impact on people.

Generally speaking, reversals without foreshadowing are often accompanied by illogicality and inability to justify themselves. If this happens, the basic novel will be ruined.

But in this novel, the two of them did not feel anything unreasonable. It seemed that everything developed naturally, and even reversal was human nature. It was natural and reasonable, and they could not fault anything at all. Something wrong.

Unexpectedly, it made sense.

Ye Xiao is also a senior editor who has been working in the short story industry for many years. He has read countless wonderful works. He has carefully studied all the works of the three most famous short story writers in the world, but there has never been a single work. It can touch the depths of his soul like "The Gift of the Magi".

It can be said with certainty that the reversal technique used at the end of this novel is a brand-new technique that he has never seen before. This cannot be written mechanically, but requires very profound literary skills to do it. Surprising readers but not surprising is easy to say, but not easy to do.

The author must excellently create the character's personality, and then combine the environment and time to make the character's final actions consistent with common sense.

At this time, Raven also looked shocked. Although she was not the editor in charge of short stories, her literary literacy was equally high, and she naturally saw the writing techniques contained in it.

Ye Xiao glanced at her and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As expected, no matter who the reader is, they will be shocked after seeing "The Gift of the Magi" for the first time.

This kind of ending is really good at portraying the characters, and it also gives a new look to an originally clichéd story, making it richer.

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly and murmured to himself: "Teacher Qianjian said before that he would let me take a look at this work before paying him the royalties... How can I bid..."

Ye Xiao was deeply entangled. As the company's editor, he should stand on the company's side and try to lower the price. But for this work with a face full of swords, he felt that if he still lowered the price without conscience, he would be insulting it. .

Anyone with a discerning eye can see its value at a glance. Once published, this novel will definitely cause a big earthquake in the literary world!

Ye Xiao also understands very well that he must win this novel!

If you just let it go, you will regret it for the rest of your life!

He calmed down and immediately took out his cell phone to send a message to Qian Jian.

[Night Owl: Teacher Qianjian, I have read the work "The Gift of the Magi" you sent me. I am honored to read such a wonderful work, although I know it is very rude to put a price on this work. act, but I'm sorry I have to get it. I felt that pricing based on the number of words was no longer appropriate, so I decided to bid one million for the exclusive publishing rights of this short story. Of course, I personally think that one million is not worthy of this novel, but it is what I can afford. The highest price...If you are not satisfied, I can help you apply again with the above. 】

Bai Qianqu was surprised when he saw the message sent by Ye Xiao.

He originally thought that one hundred thousand dollars would be enough for a short story, after all, it was only a few thousand words, but he didn't expect that Ye Xiao would directly pay himself one million dollars after reading it!

Although Bai Qianqu didn't understand, there was another very important reason why Ye Xiao was willing to pay this price, besides the fact that the work was really good.

Although "The Gift of the Magi" is only a short story, the added value it contains is much greater than the novel itself. Let alone anything else, the O. Henry-style ending alone is enough to make countless people crazy. .

If this short story is really famous, it may even leave a mark in the history of literature. With its influence, the World Snake Library will definitely shine in the limelight and get the glory along with it.

One million dollars buys an opportunity to leave a name in history. Not only does it not make a loss, but it also makes a lot of money.

After all, even if you go out to advertise now, the advertising fee may be more than one million.

"The Gift of the Magi" is a priceless treasure in Night Owl's eyes, and he is even worried that one million is not enough.

But Bai Qianqu obviously didn't think that much. Rather than money, he wanted this work to appear in front of the world, so that everyone can feel the charm of O. Henry's ending.

As for money, it is impossible to make enough money at once. First, build Qianjian's reputation, and there will be many opportunities to make money in the future.

Moreover, selling a few thousand words for one million already made Bai Qianqu very satisfied. What's more, World Snake bought the exclusive publishing rights and the copyright of the novel was still in his hands, so he could completely accept it.

So Bai Qianqu didn't bargain and directly agreed to Ye Xiao's request.

At this time, Bai Qianqu also arrived outside the shopping mall [Qianzhiwu]. As soon as he put down his phone, he saw a very familiar and beautiful figure.

"Kamiri...Ayaka?"

Hearing Bai Qianqu's voice, Linghua turned her head and looked over. When she saw Bai Qianqu, a smile immediately appeared on her pretty face.

"Qu..." She looked around and quickly changed her words, "Hello, Teacher Bai!"

"Hello." Bai Qianqu was also very happy to see an acquaintance. He walked up and said, "Are you here to buy clothes too?"

"Yeah, my family has business dealings with Qianzhiwu, so the clothes are all customized here."

Although Ayaka was smiling brightly at this time, Bai Qianqu could see that there was still a lingering haze in her eyes.

Even though Ayaka didn't say much about the fact that Kamari Reito used righteous means to wipe out relatives, she was still a girl after all, so she would always be a little intolerable.

In order not to interfere with Shenli Lingren's follow-up actions, she didn't even return to Inazuma during the Chinese New Year this year.

Originally deserted, but now seeing acquaintances, Ayaka feels happy from the bottom of her heart.

Linghua asked enthusiastically: "Did Teacher Bai also come to Qianzhiwu to customize clothes?"

"Yes, I came here to pick up clothes today."

Bai Qianqu walked in. The clerk was the same as last time. At this time, Bai Qianqu and Kamisato Ayaka walked into the store talking and laughing. They were all shocked.

She knew very well who Ayaka Kamisato was. Not only was she the little princess of the Kamisato family, but she was also the best friend of Chiori, the owner of Chiori House.

Rich, beautiful, and powerful, she is the perfect dream lover in the minds of countless boys.

She was really surprised to be so close to a boy at this time.

In her memory, it seems that except for Linghua's brother Lingren, she has never been so close to anyone of the opposite sex.
