In the first two rounds of the game, the performance of the Chinese team can only be said to be decent, with Li Xiangping, Chang Hao, and Gu Dali entering the quarterfinals.

Among them, Kong Erjie was eliminated by Xiao Li, Yu Bin was eliminated by Zhang Xu, Wang Lei was eliminated by Da Li in the sixth section, and the most wronged was Chen Xiaoqiang, who was actually eliminated by Taipei's "red-faced chess king" A Xun.

It's just that if you really want to talk about it, Xiaoqiang's loss to Ah Xun is not particularly wronged, in recent years, Ah Xun has joined Weijia, and secondly, as the first person in the local Go game, as long as it is the World Series, he can basically get the opportunity to be exempted, thus accumulating a large number of actual combat opportunities.

From the first round of the second round of tours, to slowly being able to enter the world quarterfinals, and even in real history, he defeated Hu Yaoyu to win a world championship, so nowadays, he is a typical "World Series stalwarts chess player".

In addition to the above, the last one to break into the quarterfinals is the veteran super-first-class chess player Zhao Zhixun, so that the quarterfinals constitute a lineup: 3 Chinese teams, 2 South Korean teams, 2 Japanese teams and 1 Chinese Taipei.

In the draw that night, Li Xiangping's opponent was none other than the "red-faced chess king" Ah Xun.

Before this, Li Xiangping had not fought against Ah Xun, but the two could often meet in the Weijia arena. In addition, the current Ah Xun is actually very hard-working, he often haunts the Chinese Chess Academy, and works with the national team to tinker with the "latest research results of the national team" or something, so the two can be regarded as acquaintances.

The quarterfinals were already a few months later, so after the draw, Li Xiangping thought about going back to pack his things and prepare to go home, but as soon as he walked out of the venue, he was dragged by Ah Xun:

"Xiangping Xiangping, I want to tell you something, there is something I might need your help with."

Li Xiangping turned his head: "What's the matter?" ”

"It's in our bend, now there is a child, Go is very good, his parents intend to let him take the professional Go road, but he is still a little uncertain, so I want to ask you to help palm the eye......"

To be honest, at the beginning, Li Xiangping was still very unimpressed, after all, in real history, in addition to those chess players in Japan, Ah Xun is already the most accomplished local chess player.

But listening to Ah Xun continue to introduce in detail, he said that the child was a woman, and he was still a mixed-race, Li Xiangping was happy at the time, and the person Ah Xun said didn't run away: it must be a mixed-race little beauty Hei Jiajia Undoubtedly.

Since he guessed who the deity was, Li Xiangping's attitude naturally changed greatly, from the previous perfunctory to enthusiastic and active.

He enthusiastically said to Ah Xun that this matter is no problem, everything is on him, he can not only provide chess identification services, but even provide chess guidance services:

"Hehe, Ah Xun, I think you should know that I have a vest of "mastery director" on the Internet......"

"I know I know too well," before Li Xiangping finished speaking, Ah Xun immediately rushed to say:

"I won't hide it from you, a large part of the reason why her parents are still hesitant is because of your "mastery guide". ”

"Huh?!"

Then Ah Xun told the story, it turned out that because the conditions for learning chess in Taipei were average, her parents planned several steps in the matter of the mixed-race little beauty learning chess:

First, first of all, she was required to play 9D on the Internet, and she relied on self-study to play 9D on any game platform without apprenticeship.

Second, second, if the little beauty meets the first condition, then take her to the mainland to learn the art and find a regular Go dojo for systematic training.

"Did she hit 9D, then?"

"9D was hit last year, isn't it because of your vest? Xiangping, you may not know, just last year, the little beauty also accepted a few sets of guidance from you, but unfortunately you can't even pass your 3 sub-passes, it is said that you didn't win a few games, and her parents are hesitating because of this, because her parents heard that they want to enter the mainland in the mainland, 2 sub-passes are the basic requirements, and even to reach the first-class master to let the first level be sure, and now 3 are still losing, her parents are a little discouraged, and feel that it is better not to waste time. ”

Li Xiangping couldn't laugh when he heard it, he didn't expect that the two vests he got last year would have such side effects?

Li Xiangping thought about it and still felt that he needed to save it, after all, there were few beauties who played Go, and there were even fewer who reached the level of Hei Jiajia, if he lost a beauty in the Go world because of those two vests, then his own sin would be great.

"This ..... Ah Xun, didn't you tell her parents that my handicap chess is actually super powerful? Don't talk about ordinary 9D, don't even think about me 2 sub-level after the Evening Cup champion. ”

"I said it, in fact, I told her parents a long time ago, saying that Xiangping your handicap is really different from others, if you can pass your 2 sub passes, maybe you can directly participate in the armor, her parents also understood later, but now they are still hesitating."

Li Xiangping didn't have much rut, he thought about it and said:

"Ah Xun, I think it's not like this, you go back and then persuade her parents, if the child really likes Go, then don't give up, if she wants, I can play a few more games of chess with her, you can directly tell her parents, as long as she can break through my 3 sub level, even if it is only to win one game, in fact, you can consider sending it to the dojo."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell him to ......"

After the two chatted a few more words, Ah Xun smiled at Li Xiangping:

"But recently, your two vests seem to be a little less, you can see them almost every day in the first half of last year, but recently it's rare to see them once or twice a week."

Li Xiangping smiled and didn't squeak, of course his is the truth, in the past half a year, he is a college student and a "big player", so how can there be so much time to play chess online.

"Hehe, you know my current situation, I really don't have so much time to surf the Internet, but what I just said still counts, as long as the child is willing, then you can make an appointment with her to play a few games."

"Okay, okay, then I'll thank you for her first."

After talking about these two people, they said goodbye, and Li Xiangping also returned to China with the army.

When Li Xiangping returned to China, the time had just entered late March, and his next important professional match was the "Fujitsu Cup" in April, and as the defending champion, Li Xiangping actually only needed the next set, so the next schedule was relatively relaxed.

On the first weekend after his return, Li Xiangping went to Yihong Courtyard again for performance training according to the prior arrangement. It's just that this time is different from the past, before leaving, he called the old man Wang and invited him to go with him, and the old man readily agreed.

"Hehe Daokai, hurry up, you said that you are a big man, what are you cleaning up there every day."

"Coming, coming......." -------

Some time ago, there were several female "accompaniments" of Li Xiangping, and Mrs. Chang found four or five female students of Chinese opera to play with Li Xiangping.

However, there is only one male "accompanist", not only Mrs. Chang has never said anything, but Zhao Daokai is even more happy, he seems to be very interested in this matter.

Li Xiangping drove to the school, but when she arrived, she found that Mrs. Chang was already waiting there, and she was accompanied by a man and a woman.

The girl is Yaya------ in the previous period, she was the one who accompanied the most people, Li Xiangping didn't know if it was the arrangement of Mrs. Chang, the other girls had been absent, but she was the only one who did not fall.

When he saw another man clearly, Li Xiangping was not so strange------ it was Brother Chao, and now it has been confirmed that he is the actor of Hu Zhaolin's "Iron Head Brother".

And Li Xiangping also knows that Brother Chao seems to have graduated from Chinese opera, so it is not surprising that he is here today.

Li Xiangping and Zhao Daokai parked the car, and after coming to the three of them, Li Xiangping first greeted Mrs. Chang politely, and then smiled at Yaya friendly, but when he arrived at Brother Chao, he suddenly changed.

He seems to be a drama spirit, and immediately incarnates Shi Xiangxia:

"Hehe, Brother Ironhead, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come here unharmed, right?"

Brother Chao was stunned at first, but after all, he was born in a professional class, so he immediately took over the play:

"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Ding'an, I haven't seen you for a long time, how's that, is the embroidered girl you introduced last time satisfied......?"

The two improvised a fragment, that is, the prelude to "Ding'an people have not arrived, but chess has arrived first", Hu Zhaolin in order to ask Shi Xiangxia to help deal with Fan Xiping, is tempting Lao Shi------ because Shi Xiangxia and Xiuqin met for the first time, that is, they met under Hu Zhaolin's arrangement, Hu Zhaolin knew that Lao Shi had always been obsessed with Xiuqin, so as long as Lao Shi agreed to help, then he would take Shi Xiangxia to see Xiuqin again.

This clip is not long, but it still requires a certain amount of acting skills.

Especially for Li Xiangping, acting skills are more needed.

Because in this episode, what he wants to interpret is an innocent little virgin, who wants to see but doesn't dare to meet, wants to agree but is embarrassed to agree in person, in short, this is a scene where Shi Da Chess Saint is molested by Brother Tietou.

When the two were nearing the end of their impromptu performance, a loud shout suddenly came from behind: "Good! ”

Li Xiangping looked back, but it was Old Man Wang who had already arrived.

The play was interrupted and naturally couldn't continue, everyone surrounded the old man for a while, and Mrs. Chang smiled at this time: "Elder Wang, since you shouted "good", you must have seen it just now, right?" Come on, old-timer give me a score, what do you think of this clip just now? ”

"Hehe, yes, yes, quite good, especially Xiangping...... Teacher Chang is amazing, a person who has no foundation in acting, can be trained like this by you in a short period of time, come, Xiangping, thank you Teacher Chang for not being happy. ”

Well, Old Man Wang's way of praising is a bit unique, Li Xiangping is as kind as flowing, and he respectfully said thank you to Mrs. Chang again.

And after praising Li Xiangping, the old man turned to Brother Chao with a smile:

"Xiao Deng, if I let the old man pick a bone in his eggs and say that there are still a little flaws in this performance just now, the problem is actually you, do you know?"

Hearing Old Man Wang say this, Brother Chao himself is nothing, but Mrs. Chang is a little unbearable, after all, Brother Chao is also a graduate of Chinese opera, and he is also her student, and he is one of her more proud protégés in the past seven or eight years:

"Oh, you think that's still a problem?"

"In fact, it's still an old problem, identity positioning, Xiao Deng's grasp of this role is still not accurate enough."

Speaking of which, the old man turned to Brother Chao and said:

"Xiao Deng, we have done a role analysis before, Hu Zhaolin is a chess player, but also a salt merchant, and a big salt merchant, and what is the big salt merchant in the Qing Dynasty? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the group that controls the economic lifeline of the entire country, since he belongs to this group, he must have a special temperament that belongs to this group, Xiao Deng, do you say? ”

Brother Chao's face showed a thoughtful expression, and Old Man Wang continued to speak:

"And you must know that the Qing Dynasty is still different from modern times, although the big salt merchants are rich, their political status is relatively low, so how to accurately grasp such a role, I think you need to think about it carefully."

The old man paused and continued: "Xiao Deng, I know that in recent years, you have played a lot of imperial roles, what young Shunzhi, young Kangxi, are all known as emperor professionals, but you have to remember that the ancient big money is definitely different from the ancient emperors, I just said that the big money in ancient times is due to their low political status, so even if they are rich, they will not usually be domineering and leaky, so Xiao Deng, you remember, in this drama, Hu Zhaolin only occasionally leaks domineeringly when playing chess, and in normal times, You'll have to find another way to play the role. ”

Brother Chao blushed slightly, and he bowed his head to indicate that he was taught.

And at the same time that Old Man Wang was "teaching" Brother Chao, Li Xiangping inadvertently saw Yaya, and the girl's little face was now a little pale.

After teaching Brother Chao a lesson, Old Man Wang turned to Mrs. Chang and said:

"Hehe, Teacher Chang, don't blame me for being nitpicky just now, because in my mind, the role of Xiao Deng is too important, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the eye of the whole play."

"Drama?"

Old man Wang nodded and said: "You have also read the script of this play, and it can be said to be a drama as a whole, but you also know that the theme of Go is niche after all, if it is filmed completely according to the routine of the drama, then many viewers may be very bored to watch, and non-chess fans may abandon the drama because they can't understand it, it is precisely because of this that the role of Xiao Deng is very important." ”

Old man Wang turned to Brother Chao again:

"In this drama, you have to be responsible for the funny part, you have to have a little funny attribute, to say that it is important, the atmosphere of the whole drama of this "big hand" needs to be adjusted by your character, so you say, is your role a drama? ”

Hearing Old Man Wang say this, Mrs. Chang was angry at that time, and she said to Brother Chao:

"This is the importance that Wang Lao attaches to you, and it is a high standard and strict requirement for you, don't you thank Wang Lao soon."

What else can I say, after listening to the old lady's words, Brother Chao can only learn from Li Xiangping just now, and respectfully express his gratitude to Old Man Wang.

After the two old guys did enough of these foreplays, Old Man Wang looked at Li Xiangping and Zhao Daokai, and then looked at Brother Chaoya:

"Okay, it's rare to have so many people here today, so Teacher Chang, let's start, today we can choose a group play and let a few young people perform it."
