Chapter 613: Script Seminar
Hearing that Zhao Jiadong invited him to participate in some "script seminar", Li Xiangping happily agreed.
In fact, it is not surprising to invite a group of people to discuss and polish the script together at the start-up stage of a film and television project.
For example, the "Red Mansion" created by CCTV, the "Water Margin" created by CCTV, and the "Three Kingdoms" created by CCTV...... It is said that there have been at least 99 seminars in dramas like this one if not 100 times.
However, having said that, in the film and television dramas of our country's era, it seems that only scripts like this will be polished like this.
So now listening to Zhao Jiadong say that he wants to polish the script of the "big master", Li Xiangping is naturally happy when he listens to it, although his inner thoughts are actually the same as his own old man, thinking that Zhao Jiadong started his own company, and the first drama he is going to make is the theme of Go, which may be a rhythm of hitting the street------
The idea I told you is just Li Xiangping's idea as a Go enthusiast, he only knows that if this drama is filmed like this, then he will definitely like it, and chess fans who have similar ideas to him should also like it.
However, Go is relatively niche, the audience is there, how high the acceptance of the outside world can be, Li Xiangping has no bottom in his heart.
"Okay Uncle Zhao, what time is it in the evening? Where? ”
"Just arrive at half past seven in the evening, I invited a group of friends, and it is not a very strict seminar, as for the location, it is in the Fangyuan chess and card room of Lao Cai's house."
"Oh? Hehehe....."
After the day's military training, Li Xiangping, who was sweaty, took a shower, and then rushed back to Chaoyang from Wudaokou. When he arrived at his club, he found that many people invited by Zhao Jiadong had already come.
Such people should be friends of Zhao Jiadong's cultural circle or literary and artistic circles.
Among these people, Li Xiangping knows some people and some don't know them, and some of them have only heard the name before and have never seen a real person, but there is one of them, when Li Xiangping saw him, he immediately went up and greeted him respectfully:
"Yo, Mr. Luo, you are here today....... too"
This is none other than Luo Jianwen, the veteran of Chinese Go, who was the deputy head coach of the national Go team, and led the team with Wang Yuanhua They are the same generation of chess players, but they are older than those people, so they have withdrawn from the management of the chess academy a few years ago. Luo Lao was also very happy to see Li Xiangping, and he was only happy at Li Xiangping.
Li Xiangping didn't react at first, but then he came back to his senses when he heard someone joking with his name, Luo Lao had a son named Luo Xiangping------
Well, from this point of view, Zhao Jiadong really didn't invite the wrong person to invite him, and the one who can give his son this kind of name is definitely a super fan of Fan Shi.
Just after 7 o'clock in the evening, the people invited by Zhao Jiadong arrived one after another, and since this was not a very serious occasion, everyone began to chat, and started the seminar in the way of setting up a dragon gate array.
This is the first time for the whole project, so this first workshop is to finalize the framework of the whole drama first, and as for the other details, I will leave it for other relevant professionals to study later.
Zhao Jiadong spoke first, he said that the idea of the whole drama was first proposed by Li Xiangping, and then he now wants to make a TV series of 30 to 40 episodes according to this idea, and today I invite you to come to ask all experts to give opinions to the script, and see if such a setting is feasible? Is there any flaw in the whole story? In addition, if you have any suggestions or good ideas, you can also put them forward today.
After listening to it for a while, Li Xiangping felt that Zhao Jiadong might not have invited the right person this time------ not that these people were not good, Zhao Jiadong did not invite real experts and professors, but invited a group of brick family beasts.
But after only listening to it for a few minutes, Li Xiangping had already completely heard that the group of people invited by Zhao Jiadong today seemed to be all Go fans. Since they are all Go fans, everyone's opinions are surprisingly unanimous, thinking that the setting of the entire story framework is very good, and there is no problem with letting Lao Shi be the first protagonist.
Of course, Li Xiangping is still happy that his ideas can be recognized by others, but don't forget that today is a seminar, and if there is a lot of approval in the seminar, it will be meaningless for such a meeting to start.
It was only in the second half that Zhao Jiadong asked everyone to put forward some supplementary opinions, and the words of these chess fans and experts began to increase.
What Li Xiangping didn't expect was that the first supplementary opinion put forward by an expert surnamed Hong aroused his great interest.
Li Xiangping can be said to have heard it, this Hong expert should be a fan of Fan Xiping, because the first comment he made was to add drama to Fan Xiping:
"Hehe, although I agree with Shi Xiangxia as the first protagonist, compared with Shi and Fan, Shi is indeed easier to reflect the growth of a chess player, but Fan Shi Fan Shi, in everyone's cognition, and even in everyone's habits, Fan is always filmed before Shi, I read the entire outline, this Fan Qisheng's role is too little, right? At most, three or seven open, not even half of Shi, everyone said, are we going to add some drama to Fan Qisheng? It's not that he should rob Shi Qisheng of the first protagonist, but at least don't let the whole character be too thin. ”
Everyone felt it made sense.
Even Li Xiangping himself thinks it makes sense, after all, not everyone has a plug-in called Lao Shi, so at the beginning, almost all of them were for Lao Shi's sake and conceived the story from his point of view, but now looking back, Fan Qisheng's role is indeed too few----- and the few roles are nothing, but if the character portrayal is too thin and reduced to a completely soy sauce character, this will definitely not be enough.
"Do you have any good advice?"
"There are also a lot of folk legends about Fan Xiping, I just remembered a story, a story about Fan Qisheng, and I personally think it should be very appropriate to add this story to the script......"
So expert Hong began to tell stories, and the stories he told are basically familiar to most veteran chess fans:
According to the Qing Dynasty literati notebook "Moyulu", in the early years of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, Fan Xiping went to Songjiang Mansion. That is, today's Shanghai, the best chess player in Shanghai at that time was Ni Kerang, followed by Fu Jialu and others.
These two people are very interesting, Ni Kerang is a bit high-minded, and usually disdains to play against others, while Fujialu and others are good at colorful chess, and often set up colorful chess games in the famous Yu Garden.
It is said that one day, Fan Qisheng came to Yu Garden and stood down when he saw someone playing against him. After seeing that the guest was going to lose, he gave him an idea. The person next to him was unhappy and said to Fan: This is gambling, and bystanders can't talk much. If you know how to play chess, why don't you decide it yourself?
Fan Xiping smiled, took out a large ingot of silver from his arms, and said to everyone: "This is my bet" Seeing so much silver, all the people were red-eyed, and they all scrambled to play against Fan.
Fan went on to say, "I'm not afraid of people talking when I play chess, you can play with me together." "Halfway through the game, the opponents are already at a loss and at a loss. So someone hurried to report to Fugalu. Fu Jialu arrived, Fan Xiping was calm, and the first three sons played a game with him, and Fu Jialu lost. Fan Xiping let it go again, but Fujia Lu still lost.
Everyone was dumbfounded. I had to move the last reinforcements, Ni Kerang. Ni Kerang heard the news, and when they met, Erhuo didn't say anything, stretched out his hand to mess up the chessboard, and told everyone, "This is Mr. Fan, which of you are his opponent!" ”
The news spread quickly. Shanghai's wealthy people asked him to teach chess. Fan Xiping played chess with Ni Kerang in the Pan family in Xicangqiao, and the chess spectators recorded the game, which is included in the book "Chess Saint Fan Xiping's Full Spectrum Volume II: Let the Son".
How about it, when everyone sees such a story, do they all feel very kind? This is clearly the routine of Xiaobaiwen in later generations, and it has the charm of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger and forcing him to slap his face, so the routine is not afraid of vulgarity, and the routine has won the hearts of the people since ancient times, and this anecdote of Fan Qisheng fully explains this.
There is no doubt that Li Xiangping thinks this is a good story, and such a story is also very suitable for adaptation into a bridge section of "Great Power Hands".
However, it is a pity, it is really a pity, Li Xiangping thinks that this is a fake story, which is mostly made up by a literati in the Qing Dynasty.
As I said just now, those who came today are real experts and professors, not those parallel bricks called beasts, so when Lao Hong just finished telling this story, before Li Xiangping could speak, another expert immediately stood up and pointed out that this story may be fake.
The expert who stood up this time was surnamed Wen, a teacher at Beijing Normal University, and Professor Wen pointed out at the time that the story was likely to be false, and the reason he gave was very simple, the time was not right!
You must know that Fan Shike was born in the last years of Kangxi, and according to the record of "Moyulu", this story happened in the early years of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, and there was also a gap between the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.
Among them, Yongzheng is nothing, Qianlong's old boy has been in power for 60 years, so according to this time, if Fan Xiping had really been to Songjiang Mansion at that time, he would have been an old man in his nineties and close to 100 years old.
It can't be said that a centenarian can't be alive, he can't play chess, but the hundred-year-old Fan Xiping chess saint is still so interested, he ran from Yangzhou to Shanghai to play chess, to coach the local amateur tycoon? No matter how you think about it, I don't think it's reliable, so just this one flaw, fifty percent of them are sure that this story is fake.
When Professor Wen voiced his doubts, everyone began to dispute about it, and soon divided into two factions, one group of opinions led by Professor Wen, they thought that since the "great powers" strive to be true, it is better not to make up a story like this with obvious flaws in the script.
The other group is dominated by the previous experts Hong, who also admit that the flaws pointed out by Professor Wen do exist, but they think: first of all, the core of this story is really good, which very reflects Fan Xiping's uninhibited character, and secondly, this story is really recorded in historical records, and the chess score is also included in the "Chess Saint Fan Xiping Full Spectrum", commonly known as "there are pictures and truths".
As for the problem of time matching, it is entirely possible that it is just a small clerical error of the literati who recorded this story, so they think that since it is a film and television drama, there is nothing wrong with striving for truthfulness, but there is no need to be more true everywhere, and even documentaries can be "artistically processed", let alone such a TV series.
The two factions were arguing, Li Xiangping didn't speak the whole time, and he was always there happily watching the excitement.
Maybe his silence made Zhao Jiadong unbearable, and Zhao Jiadong directly ordered:
"Hehe Xiangping, don't be a stuffy gourd there, what do you think about this?"
Li Xiangping smiled: "Me? I also tend that this is a fake story, in fact, in addition to the time match, this story has another flaw. ”
"Oh?!"
Hearing Li Xiangping say this, a room full of experts stopped arguing, after all, before this, including Professor Wen and others, they only noticed that one problem.
Professor Wen smiled at Li Xiangping: "Xiangping, what are the flaws?" ”
"Chess." Li Xiangping smiled; "Didn't everyone say just now, does this story have pictures and truths? In fact, it is precisely because this story has pictures and truths that we can now see that the game played by Fan Qisheng and Ni Kerang is a big flaw, in my opinion, that chess game is a big flaw, because it is obviously a fake chess game, and the traces of artificial fraud are obvious. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing Li Xiangping say this, even the Hong experts at the level of industry 3 became interested:
"Xiangping, do you think that chess game is fake? Why can't you see that? ”
"Swing it, as long as you play that game of chess with your heart, it is easy to find the problem with that chessboard."
A room full of chess fans and experts are interested, and Li Xiangping has to put it on the spot. Fortunately, this is Lao Cai's Fangyuan chess and card room, so it is not too difficult to find "Chess Saint Fan Xiping Full Spectrum".
So the chess game was quickly found, and Li Xiangping also analyzed the problem of the chess game for everyone on the spot:
“....... Teachers, please see, this is a game of four subs, and the result of this game of chess, in the end, Fan Xiping chess sheng won, then I use modern standards, I think that this former Shanghai strong man Ni Kerang, he must not have reached the strong 5 level, so everyone should be okay with it......"
"But this player, who should not have a level 5 in the industry, is quite strong in the middle of the game, such as this black 44, which is a good move, a good move of the standard modern professional level! There is also this combination of black 58, black 72 and black 74...... Mr. Hong, I know that you are an amateur 3rd dan, so I think you should not be able to play these chess moves in actual combat, right? ”
Expert Hong laughed: "Haha, you can't play, Xiangping really has you, listening to your analysis in simple terms, even I can see the subtlety of these chess moves, this is really a high chess that should exceed the level of industry 5." ”
Li Xiangping smiled: "It is precisely because these are high chess, then the question now comes, if this Ni Kerang really has such a high level, how can Fan Qisheng let him move his four sons?" And the results of this game of chess show that in the end, Fan Xiping really won, where did he win? Of course, it is the opponent's mistakes, continuous mistakes, continuous low-level mistakes, that this is the result of this game, and it is from these characteristics that I don't think this is a normal chess player can play, so this game, the traces of artificial fraud are very obvious. ”
Everyone listened to it and didn't speak, indeed, it is not strange for a low hand to occasionally play one or two high moves, but it is strange that continuous high moves continue to output.
In the same way, it is understandable that a master occasionally makes mistakes, and it is also incomprehensible that continuous low-level mistakes are also continuous output.
The fact that so many anomalous features are gathered in one game only shows one problem: most of the games are fake, and they should be made up artificially.
After listening to Li Xiangping's analysis, Professor Wen suddenly smiled at Expert Hong:
"Lao Hong, do you still insist on making up this story?"
"If you don't make it up, you don't make it up, other small problems can be tolerated, but fake stories can't be tolerated, and the most hated thing in my life is fakes."
"Hahahaha......."
In the midst of everyone's laughter, this first question was successfully passed, and everyone agreed that it was not appropriate to compile this story into the "great powers".
However, despite this, the problem of Fan Xiping's character image not being plump enough has not been solved.
So the people began to talk about it.
After Li Xiangping sat there and thought for a while, he smiled at everyone:
"I have an idea now, teachers, everyone help me check to see if my idea is feasible."
