"Really? It's rare to say the word 'reliable' out of your mouth. ”

Xie Chengbo pushed open the door, turned on the light, and invited the three of them into the house.

Shen Xin looked around, the bookshelves were full of trophies, and there were three pennants hanging on the walls.

"Sit casually." Xie Chengbo casually pointed to the wooden sofa on the side of the room, and he took three teacups, ready to make some tea.

"Teacher, no need. We're just going to talk about something, and we're done talking, and we're leaving, so we don't waste your time. Shang Haozhi said with a smile.

"If you come, you are a guest, don't dislike the ordinary tea, I'm a simple person." Xie Chengbo smiled and made a cup of tea for each of the three of them.

The three of them immediately stood up and took the tea.

After everyone sat down, Xie Chengbo also introduced the topic to the comics.

"You just said you want to draw a Go comic?"

"Hmm." Shang Haozhi nodded.

"Alas, as a professional chess player, of course I want more and more people to pay attention to Go, so there were people who wanted me to help before, and I did my best. But the result ...... It seems that no one can draw more than 10 words, and in the end they all gave up in a gloomy way. I don't have confidence anymore, old man...... You're not going to cut it in half, are you? ”

"Not really. Actually, our editorial department is very confident in this comic. After the serialization, we will highly recommend this comic, not to mention, the cartoonist we invited was also last year's 'newcomer king', the quality of the comic, please rest assured. Shang Haozhi put the paper bag containing the name on the table.

Xie Chengbo put on his glasses, took out Name, and roughly read the comics.

He doesn't understand storyboards, but he can understand the story, but because the name is a pencil sketch and the handwriting is not clear, he looks a little struggling.

When you're done, take off your reading glasses and rub your eyes.

"Teacher, what do you think?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"It's a little dizzy to watch...... Why do souls exist for so many centuries? Also, how did he become possessed? Xie Chengbo looked puzzled.

“……”

Shang Haozhi has a black line, this ...... In one or two sentences, I really can't explain it clearly. Especially for people like Xie Chengbo, who only know Go and know little about comics, it should be more difficult to understand.

Xie Chengbo also saw the embarrassment on Shang Haozhi's face, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, and laughed at himself: "My old man doesn't understand this, so he thinks it's me talking nonsense." Then again, if this is really my favorite manga, then I don't think other readers will buy it.

"But, then again, there are some parts of this manga that I personally really like. Whether it's a chess club or a children's Go game, it looks like that's the case, you should have checked some information, right? ”

Xie Chengbo looked at Shen Xin.

"Sir, do you know that I painted it?" Shen Xin was surprised.

"My eyes are glazed, but I'm not short-sighted. People who touch chess pieces a lot will have calluses on their fingers, and I think the same is true for cartoonists, you have calluses on your fingers, and a little bit of black ink. Xie Chengbo chuckled.

"That's right, I looked up some information. But I don't know much about Go, and I don't know much about games. So, even if you have a complete story in your head, you can't draw it out. Therefore, I wanted to find a professional chess player to help check the gates. Shen Xin hurriedly explained.

Xie Chengbo waved his hand lightly, "But I can't, I'm old, and it's already quite difficult just to teach the students downstairs, and if I still have to think about chess games every day, my energy may not be able to keep up." ”

Shen Xin didn't say anything.

In fact, he didn't plan to invite Xie Chengbo out of the mountain, and Xie Chengbo served as a consultant, in addition to increasing a certain public opinion effect, in other aspects, he may not be as good as a young chess player. Moreover, in case of a dispute, he also has to consider Xie Chengbo's opinion. At that point, the creation of comics will be tied.

When Yukari Umezawa served as the supervisor of "Chess Soul", he also had two dans, and by the end of the chess soul, he was promoted to five dans.

Therefore, the fame of the chess player is not too important, the key is the content related to Go, and there should be no obvious mistakes.

Shang Haozhi nodded slightly, "I know the teacher's difficulties, but this time, please help us." ”

Xie Chengbo looked at the name again, touched his goatee, frowned slightly, and looked at Shen Xin, "I want to ask...... What are your requirements for a consultant? ”

"Requirements...... First of all, I had to be able to provide a proper chess game and be able to see the mistakes related to Go in the comics, and if possible, I would also like to have some photos of the chess club, the dojo, and the game. That's right...... Later in the comics, there is also a question of how to become a professional chess player, so I would like to know about this as well. ”

"A professional chess player?" Xie Chengbo raised his eyebrows slightly, "In this way, the person who serves as a consultant must be a professional chess player." ”

"That's right. That's what I most want to find an advisor. Shen Xin said.

"It's hard." Xie Chengbo first shook his head, and then sighed.

"Teacher, is there really nothing you can do?" Shang Haozhi hurriedly asked.

"It's not nothing, but there are some things that I want to make clear to you in advance. Young or more energetic chess players have to work hard for the competition, they have to participate in various competitions, compete for titles such as 'chess master', 'Tian Yuan', etc., or participate in domestic leagues, it is difficult to divide their energy and work as a comic consultant. Older chess players have to teach their disciples, be a guest at the pulpit, or be a commentator for a game, just like me. After excluding these, only a few female chess players meet your requirements. Xie Chengbo asked.

Female chess player......

Shen Xin thought that Yukari Umezawa, the supervisor of "Chess Soul", was also a female chess player.

However, Xie Chengbo is right, it is true that female chess players are more suitable to serve as consultants.

This is not to say that female players are inferior to male players, but that female players spend more energy on family and other matters, so there are fewer female players participating in tournaments, which frees up some stable time.

"Sir, is there such a female chess player?" Shen Xin said curiously.

"My granddaughter is the female chess player downstairs who played against Zhen Xi just now." Xie Chengbo explained.

"She?" Wang Wenhong was a little surprised.

She just lost to a little kid, is it really okay?

"I know you're going to question her skills, but I'm going to defend her. She learned chess very late, only started learning Go at the age of 13 and became a professional chess player at the age of 18. He is 22 years old and has a career of three dans. Zhen Xi, who played chess with her just now, became a professional chess player before she was 12 years old, and now she is 13 years old, and she is already two dans.

"A player's strength is not judged by his age. Even a higher-ranked male chess player may not be able to win against him. His father taught him personally, and he was extremely talented, and if nothing else, he could really look forward to the future. Xie Chengbo patiently explained.

Wang Wenhong's mouth opened slightly, it turned out that it was not that the female chess player was not good, but that the bear child was too demonic.
