Chapter 654: The Last Toyota Cup
Yaya is now a sophomore in Chinese opera, so Mrs. Chang brought her to play Li Xiangping, which is not surprising, in fact, it is not only her, there are several beauties this time, but Li Xiangping also knows the person in front of him, so he naturally took the lead in talking with Yaya.
However, Zhao Daokai is different, what this guy is best at is talking to strange beauties, and when he saw several others, his eyes immediately lit up:
"Hello sisters, hello sisters, let me introduce myself first, my name is Zhao Daokai, Balabala ......-------
In fact, Li Xiangping has always been a little strange, Zhao Daokai's routine is obviously very vulgar in his opinion, but why do many beauties eat his routine? didn't know how to work hard, but he had a hot fight with a few other people, like old acquaintances who had known each other for a long time.
So in the next, several young people seemed to be naturally divided into two lineups, and the other beauties were dealt with by Zhao Daokai alone, leaving Yaya to talk to Li Xiangping.
Li Xiangping's intention to come to the Chinese opera this time, Mrs. Chang naturally explained it a long time ago, Yaya's reaction was similar to Da Tiantian, and she also said that the "big hand" is now very concerned by the entertainment industry, and expressed envy that Li Xiangping can lead the starring role.
After the two chatted for a few words, Yaya said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Xiangping, do you think I can compete for the role of Xiuqin?" ”
Li Xiangping glanced up at the other party, then smiled and didn't speak, and said in his heart If I want to tell the truth, then I think you really can't.
At least you don't seem to be able to yet.
Well, if you can be a few years older, a little more amorous, and a little more feminine, then this role is still no problem, but now you are really not that interesting, you are not young, but you still look very young, so young that it is no different from an ordinary sophomore girl.
Of course, although Li Xiangping thinks like this in his heart, he won't say it like this------ this is different from rejecting Da Tiantian's situation, Da Tiantian is talking about her age, which is equivalent to a hard condition, Li Xiangping can easily dump the pot to others.
But what about the girl in front of her? It is impossible to say to your face that people are not elegant and feminine, so even if your emotional intelligence is as low as Lao Nie, it is impossible to say this kind of thing to your face.
So Li Xiangping smiled hypocritically:
"Hehe, Sister Yaya is so beautiful, what else can you do with playing an embroidered piano, if you are really interested, you can contact the crew, this role has not been finalized yet, they are still in the process of selection."
"Poof." Yaya suddenly smiled: "You said it lightly, I'm a poor student now, I have no connections and no works, if I come to the door so rashly, which crew will ignore me?" ”
"Hah! Network? Who said you don't have connections, you know me and Daokai, isn't this your connection? Daokai, Daokai......"
When he said this, Li Xiangping interrupted the enthusiasm on the other side, he pointed at Zhao Daokai, ostensibly facing Yaya alone, but in fact said to all the beauties:
"Sister Yaya, you may not know that the project of "Great Hands" is operated by Daokai's father, and his father is not only the boss of this project, but also the producer of this project, so if anyone wants to enter this crew, just squeak with him, whether he can be selected in the end Of course, he can make a decision, but if you just participate in the audition, it is just a matter of his words, and no one dares to ignore you. ”
Zhao Daokai was happy to hear this, although this guy is a gentleman who is more gentlemanly than Li Xiangping, but the common characteristic of the gentleman: that is, he has an excellent face, and it is precisely because of this that he must be embarrassed to say it if he pretends to be forced just now, but now it's okay, and his friend will help him say it.
Some of the beauties present may not have known before, and some may just pretend not to know, but whether they really don't know or fake don't know, at this time, they all showed surprise or surprise, and started a new round of compliments around Zhao Daokai.
Zhao Daokai was a little fluttering at that time, and Li Xiangping almost floated to the sky when he looked at him.
It's just that he didn't float for long, and after a while, Mrs. Chang appeared, and she led everyone to a classroom and began to conduct formal training for Li Xiangping.
Of course, there is nothing to say about the training of Chinese opera, what makes Li Xiangping a little strange is that after he went several times, he said that both male and female accompanists are needed, and the girls are responsible for embroidering the piano and the boys are responsible for Fan Xiping, but in the first few times, Li Xiangping only saw female accompaniments but not male accompaniments, so that Zhao Daokai played Fan Xiping several times because he always accompanied him.
Li Xiangping felt strange, once he saw Old Man Wang and Zhao Jiadong, he told the two of them about it, and asked Old Lady Chang what this meant.
After listening to Li Xiangping's statement, Zhao Jiadong still didn't know why, but Old Man Wang was already laughing:
"Haha, this teacher Chang, her temper is exactly the same as before......"
After laughing, Old Man Wang explained to Li Xiangping: "Xiangping, you may not know, this teacher Chang we invited for you, her competitiveness is very strong, obviously, she was impressed by your performance last time, she may think about it, but she didn't find her students who could catch your play, in this case, she simply vaguely confused, so as not to be embarrassed like Xiao Huang last time." ”
"Then my training ....."
Old man Wang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this training is mainly for you alone, as long as you can master the essentials of acting, now I estimate it, Teacher Chang probably saw this, she found that no matter whether there is a suitable Fan Xiping to play or not, it doesn't seem to have much impact on you, so you will turn a blind eye." ”
Li Xiangping's heart moved, he turned to Zhao Jiadong and said:
"Uncle Zhao, do you think there is another possibility, Dao Kai has been playing for me these days, and Teacher Chang found that he is a good match, so he has not been replaced?"
"Hehe, nonsense......"
Although Zhao Jiadong didn't think so, the more Li Xiangping thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he turned to Old Man Wang and said:
"Elder Wang, why don't you see if this will work, and when I go to class next time, you will always go and palm your eyes in person?"
Old man Wang understood what Li Xiangping meant as soon as he heard it, and he said happily:
"Hehexing, now this Fan Xiping is indeed a little difficult to give birth, what time will you have next time? I'll check it out then. ”
Li Xiangping smiled bitterly: "Next time it may be a little late, and it will be after late March at the earliest." ”
"Oh? Why? ”
Li Xiangping said: "The new season has come, two days later is the opening of the Waijia, this year's opening ceremony is set in a county below Huzhou, Zhejiang, after the opening ceremony concentrated on the next 4 rounds, other games I can ask for leave defects, but the opening ceremony of the game is always bad defects, and after the opening ceremony of the Waijia, it is the first World Series "Toyota Cup" this year, so I lined up the time myself, and then there will be a few days in late March. ”
Hearing Li Xiangping say this, the old man Wang, who is a chess fan, smiled, and he said very understandingly:
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, if your chess skills are affected because of filming, then my old man is guilty of it, it's okay, you can rest assured, play well, you have to know that the better your results, the less pressure I will face, at least I won't be scolded by chess fans, haha......"
Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "Elder Wang, don't worry, I will definitely try to make you less scolded." ”
After saying goodbye to the two, Li Xiangping went to Peking University to ask for leave, and then took his mind back and refocused on Go.
The next day, Li Xiangping set off with the large army and went to Zhejiang to participate in the opening ceremony of this year's siege.
The opening ceremony begins with a summary of the previous season, followed by the presentation of various awards. In last season, in the end, the Shencheng team led by Chang Hao won the championship, the Shancheng team led by Gu Dali was the runner-up, and Li Xiangping's team ranked third.
It's just that although the Shencheng team won the championship, Gu Dali's personal record is the best, so he won the "Best Protagonist" and "Most Valuable Chess Player" trophies.
Although Li Xiangping only lost 2 games, he missed too many rounds, resulting in him missing any individual awards.
Not only him, but the entire team missed any individual awards------- originally "Tuo Lao" was nominated for "Best Newcomer", and finally lost to another newcomer.
But despite this, considering Li Xiangping's current status, he is the undisputed leader of the new generation, so during the opening ceremony, he was still invited to the stage, and the host had to interact with him.
Li Xiangping has experienced this kind of scene a lot, and he is now familiar with this kind of process.
After all, it is the opening ceremony of Weijia, and the host is not too far from the topic, except for the regular compliments, and simply gossip about Li Xiangping's electrocution, most of the questions are still focused on Weijia.
He asked Li Xiangping: What is the goal of the new season? And this goal is divided into two, one is the goal of the team, and the other is the goal of individual awards.
“…… There is no doubt that I think we are a strong team, so we have only one goal, which is to win the championship and I will see any position as a failure except for the championship. ”
After announcing the team's goals in a high-profile manner, Li Xiangping continued to say with a smile:
"As for the individual awards, I'll be honest, I still haven't made any hopes this year, and for reasons that are well known, I'm definitely missing some rounds this year, maybe more than last year, so I'm definitely not eligible to compete for individual awards."
The host quipped: "Since you said that you will miss many rounds, and you said that the team's goal is to win the championship, it seems that you trust your teammates a lot." ”
"Of course!"
At this time, Li Xiangping of course took this opportunity to praise his teammates, so as to enhance the confidence of young people:
"In my opinion, whether it is our two young players or two old chess players, their strength is very strong, especially Xiaoyang and Tuo Lao, they are extremely talented and have a bright future, so as long as everyone can play normally, then our team will be a strong contender for the championship at any time."
After blowing his teammates, the host spoke again:
"Xiangping, you just said that because you will be absent from many rounds, you are not qualified to fight for individual awards, in fact, this is not true, there is an award, you can still go for it."
"Oh! Which award? ”
"Highest win rate."
Hearing that it was this award, Li Xiangping laughed at the time, because he knew that among all the awards in the league, this award was the weirdest, and in fact, the most dispensable-------
Because in the tournament, there are substitutes, and some substitutes only play one or two games, and then his winning rate is 100%.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing to give him this award?
But if it is awarded to others, such as Li Xiangping the year before last, his record that year was 22 wins and 2 losses, such a winning rate is already extremely high, but even if it is high, after all, it has not reached 100%, so he must not be worthy of receiving this award.
So if you want this award to be not embarrassing and worthy of its name, there is only one way: to participate in more than half of the total rounds, and then save the 100% win rate, and use such a record to receive this award, then of course people have nothing to say.
"Hehe, I'll try."
Although Li Xiangping said it easily, but in the eyes of others, he is already extremely high-profile------ since the establishment of Weijia in the last century, no chess player has been able to do this, and more than half of the total rounds have reached a 100% winning rate, and there is really no chess player.
To tell the truth, although Li Xiangping is qualified to say this, he still has to be prepared to be slapped in the face.
Fortunately, in the first 4 rounds, he defeated Chen Xiaoqiang, Brother Xie He, Yu Bin Jiudan and another stalwart chess player, but he was not slapped in the face for the time being.
However, it can be seen from these opponents that Li Xiangping has not always served as the main general, in fact, so far, he has only played the leading role in the opening game, and the other main generals are two other young generals in turn.
It may be that Li Xiangping's words at the opening ceremony played a role, and the performance of his teammates was quite good, and after four rounds, his team has ranked first.
After the end of the armor, the next thing is naturally the "Toyota Cup", in fact, in Li Xiangping's mind, he attaches great importance to this "Toyota Cup".
Not just because it's a World Series with big prize money, but not just because it's the first World Series to start this season.
Another reason why Li Xiangping values it: if history has not changed, then this "Toyota Cup" will already be the last, and this is the last "Toyota Cup".
In real history, this Go tournament has only been held three times.
In the first two sessions, Li Xiangping won the championship in the end, so for this is likely to be the last one, Li Xiangping of course hopes to win the championship himself, and let himself give the championship of this event to Bao Yuan alone.
"Hehe, although the "Toyota Cup" is short-lived, if it starts with me and ends with me, it should be considered a good story, at least others mention this competition and remember the glory I have created in the past few years......"
After returning to the capital for a short rest for a few days, Li Xiangping set off again, with the goal: the "Toyota Cup" in Tokyo, Japan.
