After Li Xiangping and Gu Dali met in the finals, reporter Zhang Da handed the microphone to Gu Dali's mouth as soon as possible:

"Dali, this is the second time you have met Xiangping in the World Series finals this year, how do you feel now?"

"First of all, of course, I'm very happy."

Maybe it's because I'm really happy after winning chess, Dali's words today are a bit much, and he continued to talk eloquently: "As for being able to get the opportunity to ask Xiangping for advice again, this reminds me of Mr. Sakata Eio back then." ”

"Mr. Sakata Eio?"

"Yes, I just read Mr. Sakata Eio's autobiography, there is a sentence in it that impressed me, he said that when he challenged Mr. Wu Qingyuan, he was able to have the opportunity to play six games with Mr. Wu, and then play ten games, this is his life's luck, and my current mood, in fact, is similar to Mr. Sakata Eio, I think I once asked Xiangping for advice on five-way chess, and then another single-game final, and immediately another chance to play three-way chess, I think this is also a lifetime of luck for me, So I will cherish this opportunity, thank you. ”

As soon as Gu Dali's words came out, even Li Xiangping, who was standing beside him, looked sideways, and said in his heart, Brother Dali, Brother Dali, you are a few years older than me, and you became famous earlier than me, in this public, is it necessary for you to be so sensational? It makes me look like an old man.

However, except for Li Xiangping himself, no one at the scene felt that there was anything wrong with Gu Dali's words, especially the Chinese reporters present, who felt that there was nothing wrong with his words.

Looking back on Li Xiangping's career in the past 5 years, this is almost a living history of resistance to South Korea.

Li Xiangping's one-man history of resistance to Korea!

Most of his championships were won by Korean players, and in other cases, he and Da Lee played the most in the finals, followed by Xiao Li.

But if you continue to think about it, you find that except for South Korea's big and small Lee, no one has had the opportunity to play the second final with Li Xiangping before.

The reason why there is no third person yet, Li Xiangping naturally doesn't think too much, but in the eyes of others, this is that the strength of other people is enough, and to put it mildly, this is that other people do not have this qualification.

And now, Gu Dali has finally done it, becoming the third player to have the opportunity to play more than two finals against Li Xiangping.

It is precisely because of this that all those who are familiar with the history of Japanese Go in the audience think that the example just given by Gu Dali is appropriate.

You must know that when Sakata challenged Mr. Wu, he was not qualified at first-------

At that time, Mr. Wu had already defeated Minoru Kitani, defeated Tomosai Fujisawa, defeated the old-timer Yan Jin Junichi, and defeated his senior brother Hashimoto Utaro.

Originally, according to the strength, it was also Sakata's turn to play, but unfortunately due to the famous "Shengxian Gorge Reversal", the sad Mr. Sakata Eio missed the "Honinfang", since there was no such title, so according to the environment of the Japanese chess world at that time, everyone thought that he did not have this qualification.

So the one who played ahead of Sakata Eio was Takakawa Hidege, who had achieved nine consecutive defeats in "Honinbo" at that time.

But when Takakawa Hidege was also defeated by Mr. Wu, there was really no one in the Japanese Go world, so I thought of Sakata Eio again.

However, at that time, the rules of the Japanese Go world were still very strong, and the organizer Yomiuri Shimbun still believed that Sakata was not qualified to play Juban, so the competition specifications were lowered, and Jubanqi was changed to Liuban.

Unexpectedly, in the previous six-game chess, Sakata won unexpectedly, which made the next ten games a matter of course.

Later, in the autobiography of Mr. Sakata Eio, he recalled the past, and also recounted his psychological experience at that time, lamenting that it was not easy for him to get the opportunity to play Juban chess, and left behind such a statement as "lifelong luck".

And today, just now, Gu Dali once again said the phrase "lifelong luck", which of course everyone thinks is appropriate.

The microphone was handed to Li Xiangping's mouth again:

"Xiangping, this year is very interesting, there are only three world championships this year, and now the champions and runners-up are all won by Chinese chess players, so can we think that our Chinese Go has completely suppressed Korean Go?"

"This and this ......"

In fact, to be honest, Li Xiangping didn't think much about this situation at first, he thought it was just an accident, after all, the gap between the top human chess players is just a millimeter, so in a small year like this year, although it is a small probability to have a sweep, it is not completely incredible.

But he continued to think deeply, but he felt that there was also inevitability in this accident.

And this "inevitability" should be related to one's own appearance.

Of course, those who are familiar with the history of modern Go know that most of the Korean chess players are practical players, and they have strong combat effectiveness in the middle game, and they attach great importance to the technique of the second half of the game, but they have never paid much attention to the technique of the prelude and the theory of chess.

This is their tradition, or even their genes, and this characteristic of theirs has been inherited from the Cao Xu era.

However, the situation in China is slightly different, although after the emergence of Li Canghao, Chinese chess players also began to pay attention to the second half of the game, but in China, due to the existence of Lao Nie, Chinese chess players have always attached importance to chess theory, and there is a tradition of attaching importance to layout.

And the dog moves brought by Li Xiangping are really useful to everyone only in the chess theory part.

After all, anyone who learns dog tricks will not be able to improve his own computing power, at most it will revise his Go philosophy and enhance their understanding of Go.

By now, of course, everyone is learning dog moves, but Li Xiangping knows in his heart that the professional chess player group has really accepted dog moves on a large scale, in fact, it is only in the last year or two.

It is precisely because the learning time of everyone is still short, so the habits that everyone developed before can see the gap in a short time-------

Since Korean chess players have not paid much attention to chess theory and prelude, they have been slow to accept the importance of dog recruitment.

Especially now is not the next generation, chess players can use chess games to "walk the dog", and can use Go AI as an auxiliary learning tool, all of which are groping in the dark.

On the other hand, Chinese chess players, because everyone has always had this tradition, so in a short period of time, it is the Chinese chess players who have made faster progress.

And the above is the "inevitability of chance" in Li Xiangping's mind.

Of course, although Li Xiangping has this opinion in his heart, he will not say it in public------

You must know that today is the "LG Cup", this is the territory of Koreans, and it seems a little unkind to make money in this place.

Obviously, Li Xiangping has always boasted that he is a kind person, so after Zhang Da reporter asked, Li Xiangping began to play haha:

"Haha accidental, I think it's really an accident, we can't think that this year's results are good, just think that Chinese Go has completely suppressed Korean Go, to know that Korean Go is still very strong, especially their top masters, they have a lot of characteristics that are really worth learning from me......"

After talking about a lot of scenes without nutrition, even Zhang Da reporter felt bored, he said in his heart that this guy in front of him is not as good as Gu Dali, and Gu Dali still knows sensationalism, but you look at him, he can't even sensationalize, so he will talk about these hypocritical clichés, which is really not interesting at all.

may be because reporter Zhang Da himself felt bored, so he quickly let go of Li Xiangping and let the post-game interview end hastily.

After this trip to South Korea, then for Li Xiangping, there are only three chess games left this season, one is the domestic "celebrity battle", and the other two are two world championships held by Koreans.

The opponents in all three tournaments were Chinese chess players.

Not only are the opponents compatriots, but also the "LG Cup" with Gu Dali is already in February next year.

It is precisely because of this that in the future, Li Xiangping's schedule is quite relaxed, which gives him more time to care about some other miscellaneous matters.

Li Xiangping's most concerned about the miscellaneous things now is, of course, the matter of the "big hand", so after he returned to China, he contacted Zhao Jiadong as soon as possible to ask about the casting of the first protagonist.

"We've contacted a few actors, and we're going to audition soon, so why don't you come and see it on the day of the audition?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jiadong said to Li Xiangping with a smile.

"When is the audition?"

"Just Saturday this week."

As soon as he heard that it was a weekend without classes, Li Xiangping immediately said:

"Okay, I'll come over then...... By the way, where is the location? ”

"My company, I'll send you the address later."

On Saturday, Li Xiangping was excited to see how to audition, and he was not ready to go alone, on Friday, he told Team Leader Hua and Lao Nie about it:

"Teacher Hua, Teacher Nie, CCTV is going to shoot a Go-themed TV series, with Danghu Ten Games as the main line, reflecting the growth of Fan Shi's two chess saints, tomorrow is the audition of Shi Xiangxia, one of the protagonists, why don't we go and see it?"

"Ahh CCTV filming a Go-themed TV series? What's the situation? ”

After Li Xiangping roughly explained the previous situation, the two of them had a good time, and Lao Nie grinned and laughed:

"Haha, this is a good thing, Lao Hua, do you say yes, this must be supported, let's audition tomorrow, okay, okay, then let's go over and have a look."

On the second day, Li Xiangping picked up the two early, and then came to Zhao Jiadong's newly opened company, his company was in Chaoyang, not far from Li Xiangping's home.

After arriving at the ground, he found that in addition to Zhao Jiadong himself, there were already several people waiting there, Zhao Jiadong introduced to everyone, he especially focused on introducing two of them, one of them was an old man who had been half-cut into the ground, Zhao Jiadong said that his surname was Wang, what is the general adviser of the "big hand", and another middle-aged man surnamed Qiu, Zhao Jiadong said that he was the director of this drama.

And these two seem to be chess fans, they not only know Lao Nie and Li Xiangping, but Director Qiu also said that he likes to watch Hua Leader talk about chess the most.

Li Xiangping is not interested in any consulting director, the only thing he is interested in now is Lao Shi's actor, so after a simple polite greeting, he immediately went straight to the point and asked when the audition would start.

Zhao Jiadong looked at his watch:

"It's fast, it is estimated that they are almost there, and it is less than half an hour before the agreed time, by the way, the information of several actors is on the desk, or you can take a look at it first."

Li Xiang smiled with his eyebrows: "Okay, I'll take a look first, I'll take a look first." ”
