Chapter 287
[The Gift of the Magi? What the hell? A story about giving gifts? ]
[Brother, I can't spoil the story for you. It's boring if I spoil the story. You should buy a magazine and read it yourself. I promise you won't regret it! ]
[My friend recommended it to me before! I just bought it! I'm reading it now! ]
[I've finished reading it! I have to recommend it! I'm a 1.9-meter-tall man, but I burst into tears after reading it! ]
[It's worthy of being the first work recommended by Sparks! I recognize its quality! ]
[It's been a long time since I read a work that touched my soul so much, Qianjian YYDS! ]
[I've read Qianjian's Wolf before, and I was stunned by the author's imagination at that time. Now it's another "The Gift of the Magi". The twist at the end made my scalp numb! I feel that this work is even better than the last one! ]
[Indeed, the ending is so wonderful that it makes my brain spin! How should I describe it——】
【Unexpected, but reasonable? 】
【Yes, yes, yes! That's it, my friend, you are my strongest mouthpiece on the Internet! 】
【I have a feeling that with this work, Qian Jian will really be super-god. Although his status in the literary world is not high now, with this novel, he will be remembered in history! 】
【I don't care whether he will be remembered in history or not, I just want to know when he will release the new chapter of "The King's Avatar" this month. The flowers I've been waiting for are all withered! 】
【Push for more! 】
......
Soon, the scope of discussion on the Internet expanded and began to spread rapidly.
"The Gift of the Magi" has undoubtedly received widespread acclaim.
At the same time, the sales of the annual "Sparks" have also risen, several times over! Some stores have even sold out!
A large number of readers held banknotes and blocked the door to buy books, but the bookstore had no goods to sell.
Looking at the money in front of you, you can only look but not earn it.
For a moment, the shop owners had a sense of déjà vu.
Isn't this the scene when the first paper book of "The King's Avatar" was released?
Is this a scene re-enactment?
Isn't Qian Jian too weird? He can become popular by writing novels, and he can also become popular by writing short stories.
He was really sweating!
At this time, Qian Jian's name also became popular in the writer circle!
Although Qian Jian had made a name for himself before, his label as a novel author was too conspicuous, making people subconsciously forget his talent in the field of short stories.
Now the impact brought by the ending of "The Gift of the Magi" reminds people of Qian Jian's ability to write short stories again.
This time, his title as a short story author surpassed that of a novel author for the first time, and people once again focused their attention on him.
Many people also thought secretly.
Could it be that Qian Jian is really good at short stories? Is the novel the brick he used to throw out the bricks for discussion?
You know, writing an excellent short story is not much less difficult than writing a hit novel.
A novel can be a little watered down, but a short story must be done from beginning to end.
What's more, the writing technique used in this "The Gift of the Magi" is also very unique and outstanding.
Among them, there is a group of more professional short story authors, and the big guy named [Zhenyu] also began his own analysis:
"In this novel, most of the scenes and psychological descriptions in the whole text adopt the third-person perspective, which is the so-called God's perspective. However, when using the God's perspective, the author also chose to use a new third-person limited perspective, that is, to use the perspective or vision of the characters in the novel to narrate."
"At the end, this limited perspective is also used to create suspense. When the husband saw the watch chain that Della bought for him, he did not react, but just smiled. Naturally, the reader does not know why the husband reacted in this way. Only when you see the ending, you will know why the husband reacted in this way. Only then will you suddenly realize that this is a foreshadowing. "
"It is because of this limited narration that there is such a wonderful ending."
"Qian Jian broke the traditional "let it be" expression method at the end of the novel and adopted a very extreme "suspense" expression method. The plot is unexpected and reasonable, which makes people feel unexpected, but after thinking about it, they have to admit that it is reasonable. "
"I have never heard of this extremely unique and wonderful writing method. It can even be said that this is a brand new writing method pioneered by Qian Jian."
"This alone is enough to make Qian Jian qualified to be a god!"
Soon, Zhen Yu's remarks wereIt was forwarded to many places.
People watched his explanation and dropped their jaws.
A brand new writing technique?
How many years have I not heard of this?
I remember the last time a new writing technique was created was ten years ago, but that was not a brand new creation, but an improvement on the original writing.
But just by making improvements, the author has become a backbone member of the Writers Association.
After all, there are so many authors in this world, how many can innovate in writing techniques?
Most people just use the old techniques.
But at this time, it was said that Qian Jian pioneered a writing technique?
The sensation caused in the literary world was no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake.
After reading "The Gift of the Magi", many big authors were stunned and shocked to the point of being unable to speak.
There are even rumors that a big author did not eat for a long time, and after coming to his senses, he directly tore up the work he had prepared for half a year, and threatened to rewrite it with this brand new writing technique.
You should know that this writer is a real big shot in the field of short stories. Compared with the music circle, he is equivalent to the existence of the God of Songs.
This shows how big a sensation the "O. Henry-style" ending caused.
However, the sensation is only in the literary world. Ordinary readers do not have much feeling. They just think that this "Gift of the Magi" is very awesome, and the ending makes their scalps tingle. This writer named Qian Jian is quite powerful.
In fact, this is normal. After all, it takes some time for art to spread to the masses. Only a few people want to become popular in the contemporary era.
Countless works regarded as classics by later generations did not cause much sensation when they were just released. It even took hundreds of years for people to realize its importance.
You can think about those world-class masterpieces. How far away are they from the time they became famous to the time they were released.
