Collapse: Join Anti-Entropy at the Beginning and Dominate the Entertainment Industry

Of course, the most important thing is the ending, the big reversal without any foreshadowing, which brings a very explosive impact to people.

Generally speaking, the reversal without foreshadowing is often accompanied by illogicality and inability to justify oneself. If it is touched, the basic novel will be criticized.

But in this novel, the two did not feel anything unreasonable, as if everything developed naturally, even the reversal was human nature, very natural, very reasonable, and there was no fault at all.

Unexpected, but reasonable.

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 no work has ever touched his heart like "The Gift of the Magi".

It can be said with certainty that the reversal technique used in the ending of this novel is a brand new technique he has never seen before. This cannot be written by copying and pasting, but requires a very deep literary foundation to achieve. It is easy to say, but not easy to do to surprise readers.

The author must shape the character of the character well, and then combine the environment and time to make the character's final actions conform to common sense.

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

Night Owl glanced at her and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

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

This ending is really good for the portrayal of the character image, and it makes an originally clichéd story brand new and richer.

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly, and muttered to himself: "Teacher Qian Jian said before that he would let me take a look at this work before paying him the manuscript fee... How can I bid..."

Ye Xiao was deeply entangled. As an editor of the company, he should stand on the side of the company and try to lower the price as much as possible, but facing Qian Jian's work, he felt that if he still lowered the price against his conscience, it would be an insult to it.

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

Ye Xiao also understood very well that he must get this novel!

If he let it go, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

He calmed his mind and immediately took out his mobile phone to send a message to Qian Jian.

[Ye Xiao: Teacher Qian Jian, I have read the work "The Gift of the Magi" you sent. I am honored to read such a wonderful work. Although I know that it is very rude to price this work, I am sorry that I must get it. I think it is not appropriate to price by word count. I decided to offer one million to buy the exclusive right to publish this short story. Of course, I personally think one million is not worthy of this novel, but this is the highest price I can offer... If you are not satisfied, I can help you apply for it again. 】

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

He originally thought that a short story could make about 100,000, after all, it was only a few thousand words, but he didn't expect that Ye Xiao would directly offer him one million after reading it!

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

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

If this short story can really become famous, it may even leave a strong mark in the history of literature. With its influence, the World Snake Library will definitely become famous and benefit from it.

One million to buy a chance to be recorded in history, not only is it not a loss, but it is also a big profit.

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 the eyes of Night Owl, and he is even worried that one million is not enough.

However, Bai Qianqu obviously did not think so much. Compared with 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, make Qianjian famous, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future.

Moreover, selling a few thousand words for one million has already made Bai Qianqu very satisfied, not to mention that World Snake has bought the exclusive publishing rights, the copyright of the novel is still in his hands, so he can totally 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], and just put down his phone, he saw a very familiar beautiful figure.

"Shinri... Linghua?"

Hearing Bai Qianqu's voice, Linghua also 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 Linghua smiled brightly at this time, Bai Qianqu could see that there was still a lingering haze in her eyes.

Kamisato Lingren used the method of destroying relatives for the greater good to clean up the family. Although Linghua did not say much about this matter, she was still a girl after all, and she would always feel a little bit reluctant.

In order not to interfere with Kamisato Lingren's subsequent actions, she did not even go back to Inazuma during the Chinese New Year this year.

Originally it was deserted, but now seeing acquaintances, Linghua was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Linghua asked enthusiastically: "Is Teacher Bai also here to customize clothes at Qianzhiwu?"

"Yes, I'm here to pick up clothes today."

Bai Qianqu entered the door, and the clerk was still the same as last time. At this time, seeing Bai Qianqu and Kamisato Linghua walking into the store with laughter, they were all stunned.

She knew Kamisato Linghua's identity very well. Not only was she the little princess of the Kamisato family, but she was also the best friend of Qianzhi, the owner of Qianzhiwu.

She was rich, beautiful, and powerful, and was the perfect dream lover in the minds of countless boys.

At this time, she was so close to a boy, which really surprised her.

As far as she could remember, it seemed that except for Linghua's brother Lingren, she had never been so close to any other member of the opposite sex.
