Chapter 60: The King of Go
Hearing that reporter Zhang Da wanted to do an exclusive interview with him, Li Xiangping's first reaction was to refuse. But what kind of journalists are? If the essential element of being a chess player is "sensitivity", then the first element of being a journalist is, of course, ...... Thick-skinned.
Because Zhang Xiaoyong is a Go reporter, his skin is not thick enough to be as thick as other industry reporters, but he is a fairly good reporter, so his skin will naturally not be so thin.
For Li Xiangping's refusal, reporter Zhang Da didn't care at all, he continued to persevere, and asked for an exclusive interview at the dinner table, and said that when the "mastery" caused a sensation on the Internet, he intended to do a special issue of "mastery" in the magazine, but he missed it for various reasons.
Now that "Jueyi" has entered reality from the virtual network, and has made such great achievements in real life, then this feature in the magazine must be done no matter what, please Li Xiangping must not refuse Yunyun.
Not only reporter Zhang Da, but other adults at the wine table were also encouraging Li Xiangping to accept this interview, Li Xiangping looked at his old man, and even his old man Li Yuanhu smiled silently.
Li Xiangping understood, in the final analysis, he and others thought differently. Because there is a plug-in in his body, Li Xiangping doesn't think that his current results are great, and he is still holding back to do a big job in the next game, so he doesn't want to accept any interviews at this time.
Others, however, don't think so.
Others will only think that you are an amateur chess player, a teenager who has failed to rush the stage for 3 consecutive years, you have made a little fame on the Internet, you actually passed a qualifier for the World Series, and you even won a super first-class chess player in the competition, so what do you want?
Therefore, Li Xiangping believes that others let themselves accept this interview, which is actually a bit of a "summary". I am ready to "just start", but others think that "make a summary", of course, the difference between these two ideas is a bit big.
"Let's make a summary...... Well, even if it's the first stage after my rebirth, let's make a summary......"
Li Xiangping said this silently in his heart, and then agreed to come down to accept an exclusive interview with reporter Zhang Da---- in fact, it is impossible for him not to agree, after all, reporter Zhang Da and his old man are friends, and other people's face can not be given, but his own old man's evil face must be given.
So in this way, the day after Li Xiangping returned to China, he was interviewed by Zhang Xiaoyong, a reporter from "Go World". The location of the interview was placed in Lao Cai's "Fangyuan Chess and Card Room", because it is relatively close to the China Chess Academy, close to the magazine of the Go World, and close to the school that Li Xiangping is about to enroll, so it can be said that it is more convenient in all aspects.
"Xiangping, among all the Go masters in ancient and modern China and abroad, who do you like the most? Or which do you think is the most powerful? ”
When reporter Zhang Da asked the first question, Li Xiangping's eyes looked at him a little unkindly. It's not that there is anything wrong with the question itself, the key is that Li Xiangping knows that reporter Zhang Da started with such a question, and he obviously regarded himself as a child.
Well, in journalism, the beginning of a reporter like Zhang Da, which is called a "step-by-step" questioning method, is specially used to interview children.
However, although Li Xiangping was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, after all, he was not very familiar with the person in front of him now, so he had nothing to say when he was treated as a child. However, because he was angry in his heart, Li Xiangping responded simply and concisely with an expressionless face:
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu Qingyuan."
"Oh, then why do you think Mr. Wu is the best?"
Faced with reporter Zhang Da's question, Li Xiangping did not open his mouth to answer, he deliberately looked at the other party with a strange look.
The implication is that I think Mr. Wu Qingyuan is the best, so do you still need to ask "why"? Isn't that what most people in the world think about Go?
You must know that it is not 10 years ago, if you asked this question 10 years ago, more than half of the chess fans would probably answer Lao Nie, but this is only in China, if it is placed in the world, even if it is 10 years ago, I am afraid that Mr. Wu's support rate will exceed that of Lao Nie, right?
And now it is 2000, and now the first person in the world chess world is South Korea's Li Canghao, even Li Canghao said: "Even in his sleep, he never thought that he could be compared with Mr. Wu", so I think Mr. Wu Qingyuan is the first in the world in ancient and modern times, does this need any reason?
Maybe Li Xiangping's contempt was noticed by reporter Zhang Da, he smiled awkwardly, and then quickly changed the topic:
"Hehe, what about the second? If Mr. Wu is the first, then Xiangping, who do you think is the second? ”
Hearing this question, Li Xiangping despised reporter Zhang Da even more, thinking that as the saying goes, "there is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts", Go is a game of winning and losing, since you can distinguish the winner and loser, then of course everyone only recognizes the first, who cares who the second is?
From this question, it can be seen that this reporter Zhang Da really has no level.
It's a pity that reporter Zhang Da at this time didn't know that he was despised by Li Xiangping, he saw that Li Xiangping didn't reply for a long time, and thought that he had stopped Li Xiangping.
"Hehe, Xiangping, you can't answer, but I don't blame you, after all, from ancient times to the present, Go masters have emerged in an endless stream, such as so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so...... So it's normal that there are no candidates......"
Li Xiangping glanced sideways at the other party, and then interrupted the other party's gushing:
"In my mind, the second place is the Yellow Chess Saint."
"Huh? Which yellow chess saint? ”
"Which one else, of course, is the Huanglongshi Huang Yuetian Chess Saint."
Li Xiangping really couldn't bear it, reporter Zhang Da just talked about a lot of so-and-so, this guy actually dared to miss Huang Yuetian? The Huanglong Shiqi Saint, known as "a heavenly immortal, has no dust to think", so Li Xiangping couldn't help but interrupt him.
After reporting Huang Yuetian's name, Li Xiangping had a smile on the corner of his mouth, because he remembered that in real history, "Go TV" (later "Yizhao Go") had an activity when it was first created, that is, to let chess fans vote for a pair of "Go playing cards", and through the vote of the majority of chess fans, everyone elected the "big and small king," which is precisely Mr. Wu Qingyuan and Huang Longshi Chess Sage.
Since that event was mainly participated by Chinese chess fans, because to be honest, Li Xiangping did not agree with the ranking of chess players in the "Go playing cards", and he believed that Chinese chess fans were too emotional, and many Chinese chess players were ranked too high.
However, for this "big and small king", Li Xiangping thinks that it is well deserved, not that it is indisputable, but this is precisely the ranking in Li Xiangping's mind.
"Ahh Do you think the Huanglong Chess Saint can be ranked second, oh yes, yes, yes, I forgot about you...... Maestro ...... Hey...... So Xiangping, let me ask you again, why do you think that the Huanglong Shiqi Saint can rank second? I guess there's a reason for that. ”
Seeing that reporter Zhang Da suddenly became excited, and heard the "mastery" coming out of his mouth, Li Xiangping smiled bitterly, of course he knew what this guy associated with "mastery".
"The reason why I think Huanglongshi Chess Shengneng ranks second is because of ......"
Reporter Zhang Da's first interview with Li Xiangping started with this pair of "Go kings".
