"Really a big hit?"

I'm happy and happy, after all, my work can be popular in my home country, and it feels like it's completely different from the fire in Japan.

"It's true."

Since the manga became a big hit, the pressure on Kaneshiro has suddenly relaxed, and now it seems to be freed from hell. Thinking about it at the beginning, I still underestimated how powerful the domestic comics that became popular in Japan were. Regardless of the quality, story, painting style, and progress, it is the best choice, and this kind of comic can stand out in Japan, where the competition in comics is more fierce, how can it be "confused" in China.

"The response of "Chess Soul" is surprisingly good, and the demand in the northern market is greater than that in the southern market. Of course, these are all brothers, your mountain and sea company has great skills, and it actually engages in publicity from the Internet. I was going to report the good news to you a few days ago, but you have been filming in other places, and I don't dare to disturb you if I don't know the bottom of my heart. Today, I heard Miss Bai mention that you have already gone to the south, so I have to go this way. ”

"Brother Jin, you have a heart, the Chinese version was released later than the Japanese version, and you are a semi-monthly magazine, so you can't keep up with the progress. Now that the Japanese side is already discussing the authorization of the single book, I can't press it for too long, if piracy invades the country, it will inevitably have an impact on the magazine, you have to pay attention to this. ”

"Piracy...... Well, don't mention it. ”

Jin Cheng solemnly took out a few copies of "Manyou" magazine from his briefcase and handed them over, "These are these issues of the magazine, brother, you can point out." ”

"Show me!" The interesting old lady listening next to her suddenly opened her mouth and took a copy.

"I'll take a look at it too." Liu Ye, who was eating watermelon, also reached out to grab it.

Wide open layout, full-color content. Including the retail price code of five yuan, it is written on the bright side. The cover directly chooses the exquisite pictures in "Chess Soul", which will be pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Just imagine, how can such a high-quality magazine be placed in a pile of rotten newspapers to attract attention. If you take a closer look at the price, as long as it is five yuan, the price of a meal, then you have to be even more excited, and you can't help but open it and take a look.

And this comic, the most afraid thing is that you don't turn it, as long as you open it, you won't let it go.

"The chess saint came, the chess saint of the Spring and Autumn Period, appeared in front of primary school students, and also helped primary school students fill in the history test papers...... "How strange." In today's era when there is no invasion of online texts, readers' thoughts are generally simple, and this extremely crooked plot can naturally attract you to look down.

It's not an exaggeration, and I am happy to remember that I had a period of crazy chasing the novel "Kunlun" serialized in "Martial Arts Weekly" in my previous life, how similar it is now.

……

On Friday morning, Chen Boran, a history professor in his fifties at China Normal University in Tianhe District, Yangcheng, habitually bought a morning newspaper from the newsstand in front of the school. bored, I glanced down inadvertently, and happened to aim at the beautiful cover of "Manyou".

Two fingers between black and white children are playing fiercely against the child, and an ancient man in ancient costume holding a white paper stands solemnly above the chessboard. The coffee-brown quimble chessboard, with 19 vertical and horizontal paths, 361 intersections are clearly visible. The black and white light is more like a flash, which strongly attracts people's eyes.

When he was a young student, Professor Chen Boran was also strongly fascinated by comic strips for a while. At that time, "Sheriff Black Cat" was not a cult animation, although there were only a few episodes, but the TV station just couldn't stop watching it, and both children and adults loved to watch it. "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", "Monk Carrying Water", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" and other classic animations produced by Shangmei Factory can also become internationally famous.

It's a pity that in recent years, the country's economy has improved, but comics have declined. I can only read Japanese manga every day, and the food is tasteless.

Now I don't know that tendon is wrong, so he is interested in this comic, "Lao Sai, come to one." ”

"Five dollars."

When I went back to the office, I was immediately busy, and then I had no time to go to class and get out of class. It wasn't until lunch that I picked up this comic and flipped through it in the cafeteria.

Opening Act 1: The Arrival of the Chess Master.

Yiqiu, the chess saint of the Spring and Autumn Period, who had a distant and profound chess power, reappeared in the modern era in the form of a soul attached to the chessboard. followed a little boy and even helped him cheat to answer historical questions...... Novel enough. After playing chess again, I thought that the opponent was just a primary school student, but I didn't expect it to be a shark, but it turned out to be Murong Liang, the owner of the title of "celebrity" and the son of Murong Ming.

The new and tender little open, and only the flag will be placed, and under the plug-in of "there is an old man by his side", he defeated a big master by chopping melons and vegetables. Joy makes waves. This extremely crooked plot will soon substitute him into the plot.

followed by "The Key to Living and Dead Chess", "Unforgivable Wild Words", "Indignant Ah Liang"; Plots such as "One Knife and Two Breaks" and "Three Questions for Chess" are full of ups and downs, making people sink into it.

"Isn't that Professor Chen...... I'm not mistaken, he's actually reading a comic. ”

"Hey, I'm also watching "Chess Soul", even history professors watch "Chess Soul", and it's amazing. It is worthy of being a manga that is a big hit in Japan. ”

Several students were discussing, and they suddenly had a "Manyou" magazine in their hands.

……

Nie Zhongping is known as "Nie Whirlwind" in the Go world.

This nickname is not self-proclaimed, it comes from the 70s, when he led the team to defeat the then Japanese super-class player Yoshio Ishida Kudan in the Sino-Japanese Go match, and won with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. It was nicknamed "Nie Whirlwind" by the Japanese media, a powerful Go country at the time.

In the following years, he played 30 games against Japanese Kudan players, winning 17 games, drawing 2 games and losing 11 games. During this period, most of the domestic chess championships were also won by Nie Zhongping alone, and the Chinese Go community generally called 1975~1979 the "Nie Zhongping era". In 1981, he was awarded the title of Nine-dan Chess Player, and as the main player of the Chinese team, he led the team to face the Japanese super-first-class chess players many times.

In the 1985 China-Japan Tournament, he defeated Masao Kato, the champion of the Throne Battle, and defeated Hideyuki Fujisawa, the Japanese champion, who had won the "Chess Saint" battle six times and was awarded the title of "Chess Saint for Life" by Japan, achieving the first major breakthrough of a Chinese chess player to defeat a Japanese "super first-class" chess player.

In 1986, in the second Sino-Japanese Go Tournament, he defeated the five Japanese generals and once again turned the Chinese team into a victory. In 1987, in the 3rd China-Japan Go Tournament, he faced the Japanese team's main player Kato Masao, won the middle game, and the Chinese team won "three consecutive victories".

At that time, students from Mizuki University and Kyoshi University also marched to celebrate their success.

Nie Zhongping became a "hero" in China of that era, and his personal popularity also reached its peak. At that time, there was a boom in learning Go in China, including Chang Hao, Zhou Heyang, Luo Xihe, etc., who later grew into first-class chess players. On March 22, 1988, in recognition of Nie Zhongping's outstanding contribution to the cause of Go, the National Sports Commission and the Chinese Weiqi Association awarded him the title of "Chess Saint".

If the chess saint in the comics is apocryphal, then the chess saint in reality is undoubtedly him.

Today, Nie Zhongping is already the coach of the national Go team, and his greater energy is focused on guiding his juniors.

At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, in the "Chinese Chess Academy" of the Beijing Division, Nie Zhongping had just participated in a Go battle seminar to discuss the current China, Japan and South Korea trilateral game competition.

China has always been at the forefront of the world in the level of Go, but this cannot change the current pattern of Go's decline.

Today's young people don't like to play Go more and more, and even he, known as the "chess master", has nothing to do about it. He had a son in his later years, and he was usually very precious, and he always hoped that his son could inherit his father's business, and he also liked the elegant quintessence art of Go. It's a pity that every time he teaches him to play chess, he sits for less than three minutes and rolls and jumps, and the children love watching Japanese cartoons more than they love Go.

Once, on the way to teach, his son's lazy demeanor of nonchalance finally angered him, and he was so angry that he didn't say a word, and pulled him over and spanked him. Afterwards, he also regretted the impulse, but to no avail. The son completely rebelled against Go, and was no longer willing to play chess, and secretly lost all the Go at home.

There was no successor, and he was distressed.

But just this morning, his son suddenly said to him, "Dad, you are also a chess master, who is more powerful than Yiqiu?" ”

Nie Zhong was surprised, "Who is Yiqiu, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"Stupid~"

Nie Xiaopin took out a comic book and showed it to him, "Hey, this is Yiqiu." There is also a note next to it, "Mencius, Confession": The good player of the whole country, the ancient chess saint. If the ancient chess master runs to the modern era to play against you, can you win him? ”

The first time his son took the initiative to talk to him about Go, Nie Zhongping was very happy, so he bragged, "It is not necessarily that ancient Go is better than today's Go, if he really comes to modern times, I must play with him for a hundred rounds." ”

"Hehe, just wait, Yiqiu will come." The son jumped up and began to rummage through the cabinets, "Dad, you don't have an old chessboard, where do you put it?" ”

Nie Zhongping was even more puzzled: "What do you want the old chessboard for, aren't you throwing all the Go at home on the street?" ”

"Looking for Yiqiu, maybe there is a Yiqiu hidden in the old chessboard, and then teach me to play Go, and then play against you and defeat you."

Nie Zhongping: "......"

Thinking of this morning's scene, Nie Zhongping still had a smile on his face. Although it was just a small thing, it was enough to make Nie Zhongping happy all day. He also discovered that comic magazine. This is what he bought for his son, but he hasn't seen it. Worried that his son would learn badly, he flipped through the comics alone. After reading it, I kind of understood why my son suddenly wanted to play Go.

"Xiao Chen, is there still an abandoned chessboard flag in the chess club?"

"Coach Nie, what are you going to do with the chessboard, those were accidentally broken and have scars."

"Yes, that's it, the older the better, find me one."

……

In a living area in Jingshihai-Dian District, a little girl with pigtails and reading comics suddenly got up and ran into the kitchen to hug her mother's thigh with an apron for cooking, "Mom, I don't want to learn piano, I want to learn Go, where can I learn Go?" ”

"What kind of Go to learn, how nice the piano is. Be good, go out and play, don't get burned by oil. ”

"But the piano is so expensive, Go is cheap, it's fun, and it can exercise your brain, how good it is to learn Go."

The child's mother naturally didn't allow it, thinking that the child was making trouble. While reading the newspaper, my father became interested and asked, "Yingying come here and tell Sù Dad, why are you playing Go?" ”

Chen Ying raised her head proudly and said matter-of-factly: "I want to aspire to be a professional chess player." ”

Dad was slightly surprised, smiled and encouraged: "Very good ambition, and then what?" ”

"And ......," the little girl tilted her head, "...... Be a professional chess player! The little girl's voice lowered unnaturally.

Dad laughed, "It seems that you haven't thought about it yet, dreams can change at any time, but the point is to realize him step by step." Before you do that, you have to understand what a professional chess player looks like......"

"Who says I don't understand?" The little girl was not convinced.

"Yo, I'm still not convinced, so tell me, what do professional chess players do?"

Chen Ying said proudly: "Professional chess players are just to play with the chess saint and use one of the magic moves. ”

“……”

This little girl is a beautiful chess player who will be popular in the entire Go world in the future, and the top candidate on the list of the most suitable wife in the mouth of the entertainment media has become the idol of countless people.

These changes are just the tip of the edge. The charm of "Chess Soul" is still brewing, and when it accumulates enough energy, it will be out of control, setting off a huge "Chess Soul" storm in the entire land of China and even the entire Southeast Asia.
