Chapter 614: I Have One Request
"What! Are you saying that in the script, add some international exchange content? ”
"yes."
After saying his initial idea, Li Xiangping explained to everyone with a smile:
"Maybe because I'm a professional chess player, I always bring some chess players' thoughts and thinking, we all know that if you play Go, it must be an international competition more attractive than a domestic competition, for example, 5 years ago, at that time, South Korea's big and small Lee was recognized as the strongest, and their competition was the world's highest level of competition, but no matter how high their level is, the competition between the two of them is definitely not as attractive as Chang Hao or Mr. Ma and them, don't you say? I think since this is the case in real life, it will probably be a highlight to make a Go-themed TV series if it also adds some content in this regard. ”
Everyone nodded with a smile and agreed with Li Xiangping's statement.
This kind of thing is actually obvious.
For example, the beginning of Li Xiangping's design for "Great Power Player" is to let Xu Xingyou appear first, and now this beginning has been unanimously recognized and even praised by everyone, and they all feel that this beginning is very good and should be attractive.
Why is this happening? Because Xu Xingyou killed the Goryeo envoy, this is part of international exchanges, and with this element included in it, everyone thinks it should look good.
So now the question arises, in the era of Fan Shi, Korean Go was still just a soy sauce role, but Japanese Go has really developed, so in that era, was there an exchange between China and Japan Go?
It is a pity that in this regard, in our country, there is really no relevant written and historical record.
Not to mention that it was in the Fan Shi era, in the entire "I Great Qing Dynasty", before the late Qing Dynasty Gaobu Daoping and others came to China, there were no relevant records.
After everyone talked about it, Professor Wen sighed:
"Alas~~, it's a pity, if there is really this content, it must be good to compile it into the script, but unfortunately there is none, and we have already set the tone, the whole script strives to be true, and never make it up, so this part that may be brilliant may only have to give up."
Expert Hong also said with regret: "Yes, yes, so far, I can't find the relevant content in the literature, but the Chinese side does not, but Japan has, it is said that after the Japanese Zhanghe made that move, the genius boy Chixing who lost the chess vomited blood and died, and then Chixing Into's master, the head of the Inoue family, Yinshuo, was filled with grief and indignation, and he had the intention to find his father-in-law and revenge, and he was worried that his strength was not caught, and then he inquired from Haike that China's first master at that time was Zhou Xiaosong, The strength is outstanding, can be called a national player, so Huan Yinshuo wanted to learn chess in China, and after learning to find Zhanghe and revenge, it is said that he even prepared for this for 3 years, but unfortunately when he was really ready to go to sea, he encountered wind and waves, and finally failed to see Zhou Xiaosong, which is a pity. ”
Everyone also expressed regret after hearing this, indeed, on the Japanese side, there are very few records in this regard, and this one mentioned by Expert Hong is already the most famous.
However, it is obvious that this story is definitely not suitable for inclusion in the script, first: the era of this story is wrong, Zhou Xiaosong is the last national player in ancient chess, decades later than Fan Shi, and second: Huan Yinshuo did not really see Zhou Xiaosong, since he didn't meet in person, then naturally there is no "international exchange".
However, although this story should not be compiled into a script, after Expert Hong tells it, it still does not prevent everyone from gossiping.
First of all, Expert Hong gossiped about himself, and he asked Li Xiangping curiously:
"Xiangping, you said that if Phantom An Yinshuo really arrived in China, if he really met Zhou Xiaosong, how would he feel in his heart?"
Li Xiangping smiled: "Teacher Hong, do you want to say that Huan'an Yinshuo must be very disappointed in his heart, thinking that he ran to China with all his might, but found that China's number one master is not Er'er?" ”
Expert Hong smiled and didn't speak, but his expression had betrayed him, and he clearly thought this in his heart, and not only him, but also Professor Wen, including others, seemed to think so.
Li Xiangping sighed in his heart, indeed, in today's era, let alone the academic circles outside, even within the Go world, the mainstream concept is that after Fan Shi's peak, the gap between the ancient chess and the Japanese Go will slowly be opened.
Li Xiangping organized the language a little, and then said silently:
"Let's put it this way, I think that if Huan'an Yinshuo really goes to China and he really sees Zhou Xiaosong, he will definitely not be disappointed in his heart, especially I want to point out that if he really has an attitude of learning with an open mind and really learns the essence of ancient chess from Zhou Xiaosong, then he is really likely to defeat Zhang He."
"Oh?!"
Hearing Li Xiangping say this, everyone present became interested, and it was still the same sentence, as long as it was a "hypothetical" question, it was really easy to arouse human interest.
As everyone just talked about, this is a hypothetical question, so although most of the people present are experts and scholars, they are also full of interest at this time and continue to talk about this hypothesis.
When it comes to Go skills, of course, Li Xiangping is an authority, so in the future, he will naturally be the main one.
Li Xiangping continued with a smile:
"Let me tell you my personal opinion, because comparing the level of chess players in different eras, this is actually the most difficult, and it is also the most impossible to draw a clear conclusion, so I will say that all the teachers can laugh when they hear it, and don't take it to heart."
Although Li Xiangping took such a preventive injection first, it did not prevent everyone from being interested:
"Xiangping, you say ..... you say"
"In fact, I have always had a point of view, the ancient Chinese Zazi Go, and the Japanese after the abolition of the Zazi Go, these are actually two different systems, the Zazi Go is centered on the "star position", let's call it 'Star Go', and the Japanese Go for a long time, their core is centered on the "small me", let's call it "small go". ”
Li Xiangping paused and continued: "In fact, the person who really integrates the two, I personally think that it is Mr. Wu Qingyuan, only after Mr. Wu, Xiaomu and Xing Position have the same status, and these two methods have also begun to blend, and before that, whether it is China's Huang, Fan, Shi, or Japan's Daoce, Zhanghe, and Xiuce, they are actually living in their respective systems, just the kings in their respective systems." ”
Li Xiangping smiled and continued: "Since it is a different system, then to forcibly divide these people, I personally think it is already a very boring thing, it doesn't make much sense to do this, and it is impossible to divide a result, because whether it is Xing Go or Xiaomu Go, they all have their own advantages and their own defects, so these ancient chess players really want to meet together, it depends on whether they can play their respective advantages, for example, if Huan'an Yin Shuozhen meets Zhou Xiaosong, if the two are under the seat of Go, There was no suspense that Komatsu would win that week, and if the two of them played according to the Japanese rules at the time, it would probably be a little difficult for him to win. ”
At this time, everyone noticed Li Xiangping's wording, one was "no suspense", the other was "a little difficult", Professor Wen said in surprise:
"Huh! It seems that Xiangping's evaluation of Zhou Xiaosong is quite high? ”
Li Xiangping said it as a matter of course; "Of course, the nine great players of ancient chess, I personally think that none of them have lost their reputation, Zhou Xiaosong's strength is definitely underestimated by many people, his tragedy, I personally think it mainly lies in Chen Zixian, everyone knows that Chen Zixian and Zhou Xiaosong were equally famous at that time, but unfortunately Chen Zixian died early, Zhou Xiaosong lost his best opponent, and also lost the opportunity to continue to sharpen his chess skills, otherwise if Chen Zixian has been alive, the two of them can become another pair of Fan Shi is not necessarily, everyone sees that his two chess styles are also a bit similar to Fan Shi, Chen Zixian is a talented chess player, and became famous at a young age, similar to Fan Xiping, while Zhou Xiaosong is fine and rigorous, and his style is similar to Shi Xiangxia. ”
When Li Xiangping said this, Luo Jianwen and Luo Lao interjected:
"Xiangping, Zhou Xiaosong himself once said that except for Fan Shi, he can't be defeated, and the rest can be resisted, do you think he is a bit arrogant, what about Huang Yuetian? Does he still think that he can compete with Huang Yuetian? ”
Facing the veterans of the Go world, Li Xiangping's attitude was much more correct, and he replied respectfully:
"Luo Lao, I think it's understandable that Zhou Xiaosong said this, although I personally also think that Huang Longshi's talent is too high, if Zhou Xiaosong really wants to play with him, it will be more likely to win less and lose more, but Luo Lao, don't forget the chess game left by Huang Qisheng, because he has rarely met opponents in his life, resulting in him after he became famous, but the following handicap chess is the majority, let the chess you must know, then there must be a lot of unreasonable chess or even break up, so ......"
Luo Lao naturally continued: "Therefore, Zhou Xiaosong saw those bad chess, he felt that Huang Longshi's chess was still not rigorous, but it was Fan Shi's chess score, and there were many fewer flaws in it, that's right, look at the score to know people, Zhou Xiaosong, as a generation of national players, it is not strange for him to do this, so from this point of view, he feels that he can break his wrist with Huang Longshi, which is really understandable." ”
Li Xiangping smiled when he heard this, and when he said this, everyone was no longer entangled in Zhou Xiaosong's problem, after all, the main purpose of today was to create a good script.
"Xiangping, you just said that you are considering increasing the international exchange part......."
Li Xiangping looked at Expert Hong and said with a smile: "That's right, Mr. Hong, you just said that although there is no relevant information in the domestic literature, there are still some in Japan, and I just thought of one, and I think it is very suitable for compiling into the script." ”
"The Japanese side has, the Japanese side or the Go exchange information of the Fan Shi period? ...... I've got it! ”
Lao Hong is not a pseudo-expert after all, he only thought about it for a while, and he really remembered one, but he was not very sure at this time, and said in an inquiring tone:
"Xiangping, you mean the story of the ancient Ryukyu prince who came to Japan to be exempted?"
Li Xiangping nodded with a smile: "That's right, Teacher Hong is amazing." ”
At this time, Zhao Jiadong was a little inexplicable, of course he knew that ancient Ryukyu was now Okinawa, and he also knew that at the time of "I Daqing", Okinawa was still a subject country of our country, and he also knew that Lao Hong's "exemption" was actually a rank certificate, a Japanese vocational rank certificate.
However, what the hell did the ancient Ryukyu prince want to be exempted from the situation when he came to Japan? This is a shooting of ancient chess, not a shooting of ancient chess, and even if ancient Ryukyu is a subject country, but a prince of Ryukyu does not seem to represent the Chinese at that time, right?
Then Professor Wen patiently explained the whole story to him, and the story was not complicated:
According to some Japanese documents, at that time, the Ryukyus had frequent exchanges with the Japanese mainland, and the chess players of the Ryukyu Kingdom went to Japan to ask for "exemptions", and this kind of thing happened from time to time, the most famous of which was twice.
The first time was in the Daoce era in Japan, when the first master of the Ryukyus went to Japan to ask for a professional rank certificate, and the requirements were quite high, he asked for a "senior exemption", that is, to obtain a professional five-dan certificate.
Of course, Japan's exemption from the certificate cannot be gray-haired, this is a need for an exam, considering the professional five dan, so according to the rules of Japanese Go, it is exactly nine dan to let two sons, so the only nine dan Taoist in Japan at that time came out and presided over this exam.
Who is that? ranked 3rd on Li Xiangping's version of "Go Weapon Spectrum", and his status was above Da Li, so there was no suspense in that game, and Dao Ce defeated his opponent very easily.
Fortunately, Dao Ce was merciful at the time, and did not rush to kill everything, and after the overall situation had been determined to maintain the dignity of Japanese Go, he also let the opponent win a game, and politely gave a first paragraph "exemption".
Dao Ce's approach is beyond reproach, but although Gu Liuqiu is small, the prince of the family is also dignified, he feels that he has been humiliated, so he does not want the initial certificate, and returns to his hometown to lie down and taste the courage, and wants a real "high-level exemption".
However, the transportation economy in ancient times was underdeveloped, and the ancient Ryukyu prince waited for decades, and when the ancient Ryukyu prince set off again, not only the prince himself had been replaced, from the old prince to the new prince, and the Japanese chess world at that time had just debuted, and the Taoist chess saint had passed away, and the four major Go families in Japan were fighting for the "chess house".
It was in this context that the new prince of the ancient Ryukyus again arrived in Japan and once again asked for a "high-class exemption".
On the Japanese side, although there was a lot of infighting among their own people at that time, the visit of the ancient Ryukyu prince was a diplomatic event at the time, so no matter what, they had to put out a person to deal with the war.
This candidate was fiercely contested by the Japanese.
After all, no matter what you say, being able to represent the entire country of Japan is a supreme honor for individual chess players and for several major Go families.
What's more, the incident a few decades ago is still fresh in the memory of the entire Japanese chess community, and they take it for granted that the Ryukyu prince is a weak chicken, so it must be a good thing to win such an opportunity to play.
It was precisely because of the current situation in the Japanese chess world at that time that this candidate to represent Japan was unexpectedly difficult to give birth, and everyone such as "Honinbo", "Inoue", and "Yasui" refused to let go of this opportunity.
The last to play was a Japanese seventh-dan at the time.
Key points: At that time, the battle of this seven-dan was not justified, to put it bluntly, he actually wanted to cut first and then play, thinking in his heart that the raw rice was cooked and cooked, and when he defeated the Ryukyu prince, then his claim for the throne of "chess" would be justified.
However, an embarrassing thing happened, and when the seven-dan and the Ryukyu prince fought, they found that the two sons couldn't move at all.
What made the seventh section even more embarrassed was that because he was not authorized to fight this time, at that time, he did not have the right to issue a "waiver" at all.
In some Japanese literature, this embarrassing incident is recorded in great detail.
Under Professor Wen's eloquent words, Zhao Jiadong listened with relish, but when Professor Wen talked about this, Zhao Jiadong opened his mouth and asked:
"Although this story is wonderful, Professor Wen, does this have anything to do with Chinese Go? In particular, does it have anything to do with the Fansch era? ”
Professor Wen smiled slightly:
"There is a saying in Japanese literature that the Ryukyu prince went to China to learn chess and seek to improve his skills when he was lying on his back."
Expert Hong smiled and said: "And according to the ancient Ryukyu prince, this is the original words in the Japanese literature, he thinks that the level of Chinese Go at that time was not much better than that of Japanese Go, and even the killing power was even better, and it was through studying in China that their level was able to improve by leaps and bounds." ”
Professor Wen then sang and harmonized: "According to the calculation of time, Dao Ce and Huang Longshi belong to the same era, Fan Shi is dozens of years younger than Huang Longshi, so the ancient Ryukyu prince went to China to learn chess, it will not be wrong, although there is no literature in our country, but it is almost certainly in the Fan Shi era." ”
"That's it!"
Zhao Jiadong was surprised and delighted at that time.
Indeed, he was really surprised and delighted at this time.
There's no doubt that it's a really good story, and it's really good to put into a script.
Although everyone has already set the tone, the "big country" tries to be as real as possible, but film and television dramas are film and television dramas after all, aren't they? The so-called from life is higher than life, isn't it?
If you make a proper play in this kind of place, on the basis of Japanese literature, it is certainly not a nonsense.
"Hehehe, when the time comes to shoot this scene, do you want to consider going to Japan to shoot? That's right, it's better to shoot Japanese Go too, such as Dao Ce, and the self-aware seven dans, so that our whole drama will be different, and the pattern will be very different, haha......."
At nearly 11 o'clock in the evening, the first script workshop finally ended, and everyone present was still happy, happy, and confident that a good drama would be sent.
Li Xiangping was about to return to school, and Zhao Jiadong personally sent him off.
"Uncle Zhao, when do you think this step can be filmed?"
Zhao Jiadong smiled bitterly when he heard it:
"Xiangping won't tell you, now that there is this script framework, if this is handed over to other film and television companies, it can actually be started immediately, but Uncle Zhao is not selfish, doesn't he want to keep this good project for himself? , but my own film and television company has not yet filmed, I have to set up the whole team, form the whole crew, and find actors, find directors, continue to polish the script, and be busy with the things of costumes, etc., etc., etc., if you calculate it, the start of this project will have to happen next year, and it will be the end of this year at the earliest. ”
Li Xiangping smiled: "I heard Uncle Zhao say so much, it seems that I didn't mention the money, it seems that Uncle Zhao is not bad for money." ”
"Money?"
Zhao Jiadong laughed: "Since it's Xiangping you, then I won't hide it from you, let me tell you, I want to open a media company, it's really not bad for money now, I have now negotiated a financing, enough to open two dramas first, but this kind of thing, don't talk nonsense outside." ”
After all, the relationship between the two families is extraordinary, so Li Xiangping thought about it and said:
"Paulie?"
Zhao Jiadong smiled silently, neither admitting nor denying it.
After returning to school, Zhao Jiadong was ready to say goodbye:
"Okay Xiangping, that's all for today, I really want to thank you for coming up with so many ideas, by the way, do you have any other requirements for this "big hand"? ”
Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "Uncle Zhao, I have a request now." ”
"Oh, you say, you say."
"I ask that the first protagonist of this drama, yes, is the actor of Shi Xiangxia, must ask for my consent."
Zhao Jiadong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed:
"Okay, hahaha, since you have spent so much effort, then Uncle Zhao will promise you now, when the time comes to start casting, I will definitely come and ask your opinion."
