Xu Wangbei didn't expect Xu Wangqiu to remember what happened at that time, but if you think about it carefully, Xu Wangqiu has really changed a lot after that. Before that, Xu Wangqiu was famous for being naughty and mischievous in the yard, and he was a famous "boiling head". After that, his personality really changed greatly, from the former child king to a lone ranger, from the past chatter to taciturn, and became very fond of reading, either at home or in the library.

In the eyes of many people, Xu Wangqiu is a strange child, but in Xu Wangbei's eyes, Xu Wangqiu is still the second brother who dotes on himself, if anyone bullies him, the second brother will definitely help him out. There was a time when a senior boy bullied Xu Wangbei, but Xu Wangqiu couldn't beat that boy. He pretended not to care, secretly picked up a broken brick, rushed up and slapped the boy on the head. After that, the children of Factory 132 knew that they could bully anyone, and they must not bully Xu Wangbei, because his second brother was a madman.

Xu Wangbei pulled Xu Wangqiu's arm and chuckled: "It's been so long, second brother, do you still remember." ”

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself, even if I crossed over, if I didn't have your sister, I'm afraid I would still live in self-blame. He smiled and said, "Of course, the second brother is not like you who has no conscience, who is good to the second brother, the second brother will remember it for the rest of his life!" He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, don't talk about this." My second brother will take you to dinner. ”

Xu Wangqiu took Xu Wangbei to Yuebin Restaurant for a simple meal, and then took her to Tian'anmen Square to visit. For the vast majority of Chinese who visit Beiping for the first time, the place they want to go to most must be Tiananmen Square. From the moment Taizu announced on the castle tower in 1949 that "the Chinese People's Republic was established today", Tiananmen has become a symbol of Beiping and even China.

Since it was the height of summer and the temperature was surprisingly high, the square was very empty and there were not many tourists. Xu Wangbei stood on the Jinshui Bridge, admiring the tall Tian'an Gate Tower in front of him, and admiring the place where Taizu stood there to face the Chinese people and announce to the world that "the Chinese people have stood up". Behind this majestic gatehouse, a clear blue sky is lined with a flock of white doves like silver star ideas, circling around the gatehouse under this blue sky.

Thinking of Taizu's announcement that "the Chinese people have stood up", Xu Wangbei was full of pride and said excitedly: "It's a pity that I can't go up to the city tower, if only I could go up and have a look." ”

In fact, last year, some central leaders raised the question of whether the Tiananmen Tower could be opened to the masses. It is only because people's ideas are not open enough, bold enough, and the objective conditions are not ripe that this proposal has not been responded.

Xu Wangqiu knew that the city tower would be open in a few years, and tourists could visit the city tower: "Not yet, but it should be open to ordinary tourists in a few years." ”

Xu Wangbei's eyes widened: "Really?"

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "Now the whole country is reforming, all walks of life are reforming, and many things that didn't work in the past can be done now." The same is true of the Tiananmen Tower, which will definitely be open to the public in the future. ”

After visiting Tiananmen Square, when Xu Wangqiu and Xu Wangbei returned to the courtyard, the residents in the courtyard had already returned from work, and they were all busy stir-frying, and the air was full of fragrant vegetables.

Usually, Su Bai would be busy in front of the kerosene stove for dinner, just like everyone else. But Xu Wangbei is coming today, Xu Wangqiu has already said that she wants to go out and have a good meal, so she writes the manuscript in the room while waiting for them to come back. Hearing Xu Wangqiu's voice outside the house, Su Bai put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

Xu Wangbei walked into the room and saw Su Bai, ran over, took Su Bai's hand and shook it gently: "Sister-in-law!"

In the past, Xu Wangbei kept calling Sister Su Bai, but now he suddenly heard her call her sister-in-law, Su Bai was a little embarrassed, and reached out and gently scraped Xu Wangbei's nose: "Naughty." He smiled and asked, "Wangbei, are you hungry?" ”

Now Xu Wangqiu is officially working at the art center, and he is busy with movies, so he has no time to accompany Xu Wangbei. He took two days to take Xu Wangbei to visit the main scenic spots in Beiping, and then continued to busy himself with his work. Xu Wangqiu originally wanted Li Shaohong and the others to take Xu Wangbei around, but Xu Wangbei was very interested in Xu Wangqiu's work, especially after knowing that he was busy selecting actors for the movie recently, he clamored to see how the actors were selected. As a result, Xu Wangqiu had a small tail behind him.

The casting work was very cumbersome, and Xu Wangqiu was worried that Xu Wangbei would be bored, so he assigned her a job and asked her to help her deal with the letters. After the official release of "Falcon", Xu Wangqiu kept receiving letters from the audience. After "Falcon" broke the box office record in Hong Kong, Xu Wangqiu simply became a hero who won glory for the country and praised overseas, and all kinds of letters poured into Nortel like snowflakes.

Xu Wangbei has admired Xu Wangqiu since he was a child, and he thinks that the second brother is very powerful, but after seeing the sack of letters, he was still stunned. Only then did she realize that her second brother was even more powerful than she imagined. She went through these letters very carefully, sorted out the letters, picked out the more important letters, and handed them over to Xu Wangqiu for processing.

One of the letters was sent to Xu Wangqiu by a soldier who had won a first-class meritorious service in the battle to recover Kuolin Mountain, and he also sent his first-class meritorious service medal to Xu Wangqiu. He said in the letter, Director Xu, your "Falcon" is so well filmed, this film truly reflects the real situation of our troops' operations, and brings to life the selfless dedication of our soldiers, not afraid of death, tenacity, bravery, and kindness, and this medal belongs to you.

After Xu Wangbei handed over the medal and letter to Xu Wangqiu, Xu Wangqiu returned the medal to the soldier and wrote a reply. In the letter, he wrote, "Your letter is the greatest reward for me, a medal awarded to me, and this first-class meritorious service medal is what you have exchanged for with your blood, and it belongs only to you!"

In addition to the serious letters, there were also many love letters written by girls, some of whom also sent photos of themselves along with the letters. In Xu Wangbei's eyes, Su Bai is his sister-in-law, and he is a perfect match for his second brother, and some women actually write this kind of courtship letter to their second brother, which is shameless. In addition to scolding, she selected these letters and quietly gave them to Su Bai, becoming a little traitor.

Su Bai didn't read these letters, touched Xu Wangbei's head, and said softly Wangbei, I know that you are good for me and your second brother, but you don't believe your second brother, if he knows, he will be sad.

The time soon came to mid-September, and the time for Tsinghua University to start school was up.

On this day, Xu Wangbei wore a long white dress, like a daffodil, blooming on the Tsinghua campus.

Tsinghua University is a science and engineering school, and there have always been more men than women, and even fewer beautiful girls. After Xu Wangbei appeared on the Tsinghua campus, the Tsinghua boys rushed to tell each other, shouting that this time we can compare Peking University to Peking University.

Some cheeky boys even took the initiative to run over enthusiastically and take the initiative to help the little junior sister. It's just that Xu Wangqiu, the messenger of protecting flowers, is here, how can he let these wolves get close to the little sister and drive them away unceremoniously.

The Department of Computer Science is a department of yin and yang, with only 20% female students. Several girls in Xu Wangbei's bedroom are from all over the world, but when they know that Xu Wangqiu is the director of "Falcon" and the author of songs such as "A Cut of Plum", they all became little fans without exception. They were all so excited that they took out their notebooks and asked Xu Wangqiu to sign them for them.

At noon, Xu Wangqiu invited Xu Wangbei's roommates to a meal. Xu Wangqiu said that he hoped everyone could get along with Xu Wangbei and become good friends. He also asked a few girls, hoping that everyone would take care of Xu Wangbei more often. Xu Wangbei raised his mouth and felt that the second brother regarded himself as a child. Xu Wangbei's roommates all nodded flatteredly, feeling that it was a particularly honorable thing for a powerful character like Xu Wangqiu to ask him.

Soon after Xu Wangbei entered the school, "A Game of Unfinished Chess" officially passed the review, and at the same time, the casting of "A Game of Unfinished Chess" was successfully completed, and all the Chinese actors were finalized.

The actor of the movie, Guo Yishan, is exactly the same as the previous life, played by the famous actor Sun Daolin. For a film like this, which is highly valued by both China and Japan, it must use heavyweight actors. Moreover, Yishan is the king of chess in the south of the Yangtze River, the kind that loves chess and is obsessed, and the actor must be elegant and popular. Sun Daolin is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate outside of Zhao Dan.

Sun Daolin was born in an intellectual family in Beiping, and entered the Department of Philosophy of Yenching University in 1938, where he performed in plays such as "Thunderstorm" and "Life and Death Love". After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Yenching University was forced to close, and Sun Daolin dropped out of school, and in 1943, he joined the China Traveling Theater Troupe and officially began his career as an actor. He has starred in films such as "The Crow and the Sparrow", "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", "Early Spring February", "Li Siguang" and other films, and is an artist full of bookish atmosphere and elegant temperament.

The original version of Yishan's wife Wanyi was played by Zhao Dan's wife Huang Zongying, which is regarded as a commemoration of Zhao Dan, Xu Wangqiu considered whether Huang Zongying would continue to play it, but finally gave up. Wanyi was only in her thirties when she first appeared, and Huang Zongying was fifty-six years old, which was really not too suitable.

When she arrived in Xiangjiang in May, Xu Wangqiu felt that Xia Meng was very suitable, and Xia Meng had a great influence in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, if she could participate, it would be beneficial to the distribution of the film in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. Xia Meng is no longer acting, she feels that she is in her forties, she is already old, she wants to give everyone a good impression, and I hope everyone will remember her best appearance. After receiving Xu Wangqiu's invitation, she felt that everyone who was a junior had promised to help you make a movie, and now that others invited you to make a cameo, if you didn't agree, it would really be a bit too much, so she nodded and agreed.

The role of Guo Aming, the son of Yi Shan, was already decided when Tokuma Yasushi and the crew of "Falcon" negotiated last year, and it was played by Tang Yuqiang. Tang Yuqiang also knows the weight of this play, and has been learning Japanese since the beginning of this year. As for the role of Guo Yishan's daughter Guo Ahui, Xu Wangqiu did not use the original Shen Danping, but chose Qiu Suyun.

On October 15, in a conference room in Roppongi, Tokyo, reporters gathered, and the national flags of China and Japan were hung on the rostrum. "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Finished" has been three years since Xu Wangqiu wrote the first draft at the end of 1978 and officially signed today. For this film, China and Japan have conducted many negotiations and consultations, during which there have been arguments, conflicts, and compromises. But no matter what, today the two sides will officially sign a contract, and the movie will be officially launched.

Hu Jian, deputy general manager of the export company, signed on behalf of the Chinese side, and Tokuma Kangkuai signed on behalf of Dongying. The content of the agreement has been carefully considered and confirmed, and there are no problems. When Hu Jian and Tokuma Yasushi signed their names on the document, they both got up with the document and asked the reporters at the scene to take pictures. Yasushi Tokuma smiled and stretched out his hand to Hu Jian: "I believe that with the joint efforts of Japanese and Chinese artists, this film will be made into a classic that can be passed on to the world." ”

Hu Jian shook hands with Tokuma Kangkuai: "Don't forget the past, the teacher of the future." I believe that this film can serve as a warning to the Chinese people and the people of Dongying. ”
