Chapter Eighty-Three: Watching People Through Chess
The moon sets and the sun rises, Yinjiang is still as calm as usual, and there are only a handful of people who know that there will be a good show on Yingbin Avenue today.
At noon, director and screenwriter Fang Ziyu sat on the rooftop of a high-rise building that temporarily served as an observation deck waiting for the audience and judges, while assistant director and artistic director Jiang Lan set up the pavilion and retreated behind the scenes to plan the official release of the play.
The pavilion is located on the edge of the rooftop, and four folding chairs are surrounded by four square tables under the pavilion, one each of Fang Ziyu and Tangerine.
The orange squatted in the center of the seat and took a nap, like an old monk in his meditation. Fang Ziyu sat on the main seat facing south, holding a white son in his left hand and a black son in his right hand, fighting left and right.
Today, Fang Ziyu did not grab a T-shirt and jeans from the wardrobe as usual and put it on his body, but wore an antique wide-sleeved pure black flying fish suit carefully selected by Jiang Lan.
The first thing Luo Jinyu did after taking her seat was to ask: "Your clothes look good, is this a retro fashion style?" ”
"Flying Fish Suit." Fang Ziyu smiled and nodded, "Do you like Hanfu?" ”
"I'm very interested in Chinese culture."
Luo Jinyu's answer seemed to be wrong with the horse's mouth, but Fang Ziyu heard the deep meaning, traditional clothing is also an important cultural element.
I didn't prepare a meeting gift before, because I wasn't sure what Luo Jinyu liked, since she liked Hanfu, let Jiang Lan prepare a few sets of Hanfu and send them to the shooting range. Fang Ziyu made up his mind and secretly wrote down this matter in his heart.
As for the size......
Fang Ziyu squinted at the orange, the orange meowed, jumped off the chair and jumped to Luo Jinyu's side and spun around twice, and when it jumped back into the chair, Luo Jinyu's height was recorded in its data storage.
"Are you playing chess? Playing chess with yourself? ”
After the orange returned to its original position, Luo Jinyu's gaze turned to the black and white chessboard.
"Well, entertain yourself." Fang Ziyu glanced at Luo Jinyu, and then at Liang Bo who was sitting next to Luo Jinyu, thinking that the good show hadn't been staged yet, so it was not good to hang the other party like this, so he asked, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”
"I can learn." Luo Jinyu seems to have a talent. Always answer questions in a way that makes others feel comfortable.
"Then you use white seeds, and I use black seeds? The rules are simple and can be explained in a few words. ”
Fang Ziyu cleaned up the chessboard while explaining the rules, and sure enough, it only took a few words to explain it clearly, Luo Jinyu had a flexible mind, and quickly understood the rules of the game, and happily played a game with Fang Ziyu.
Although she only lasted seven minutes and was defeated, Luo Jinyu was still interested, and said with a smile: "I thought the rules of Go were very complicated, but I didn't expect it to be so simple." ”
"Oh, it's not Go, it's called backgammon." After Fang Ziyu finished speaking, he picked up the herbal tea on the table to hide his smile.
"Backgammon? No wonder the winning condition is to connect five pieces of the same color in a line. Luo Jinyu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and seeing that Fang Ziyu was going to tidy up the chessboard, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her: "Wait, let me take another look, I want to know where I lost." ”
Playing backgammon and wondering which move you lost?
These words sounded a little funny to the layman, but they made Fang Ziyu's heart sink.
Anyone who often plays backgammon knows that the decision is not made by the five pieces in a straight line, often before that, when the loser falls into the trap of the winner, or the loser loses the ability to fight back and save the chess, then the winner is already known.
Just like the game of chess just now, Luo Jinyu can't recover the defeat after fifteen moves, making up for the east and saving the west is just a lingering breath, if the chess strength of the two sides is equal, maybe there will be a chance to drag it down, but Fang Ziyu didn't give her a chance, and a stormy attack ravaged Luo Jinyu's white son to the end of the game.
Ke Luo Jinyu just learned backgammon, only lost a game, can realize this, and know to review the reasons for his failure? This is an astonishing understanding.
Thinking back to the process before and after the previous game of chess, Fang Ziyu was even more secretly frightened.
The rules of backgammon are indeed simple, but the rules of Go are not complicated, aren't they still broad and profound? In the same way, although in the eyes of many people, backgammon is not comparable to Go, and it is just a child's chess game, but in fact, backgammon is also one of the competitive events of the World Mind Games, and there are many routines in it.
Fang Ziyu's chess strength is not profound, but he always knows some routines, and Luo Jinyu is playing backgammon for the first time, which is equivalent to a gold-ranked player and a newcomer SOLO who has just finished the beginner tutorial, and Luo Jinyu, a newcomer, can actually last for seven minutes!
What does this mean? This shows that Luo Jinyu has memorized the rules in her first game of chess, and can apply them to actual combat to avoid those obvious failures.
This kind of wisdom is at least ten Wallace higher than the reckless and impulsive Ouyang Jie.
In this case, since she and Ouyang Jie have known each other since childhood, how could Ouyang Jie still be in the limelight on the naked bear late-night show? Did Ouyang Jie not listen to persuasion, or did Luo Jinyu treat him as a stone throwing a stone to ask for directions?
Thinking of this, Fang Ziyu's gaze at Luo Jinyu changed, a little more appreciation, and a little more vigilance.
"Oh! It turns out to lose here. Luo Jinyu didn't notice the change in Fang Ziyu's expression, and reached out to pick up a chess piece, which was the move that made the difference between victory and defeat.
"Yes." Fang Ziyu gave a thumbs up and asked, "Another plate?" ”
"Okay!" Luo Jinyu readily agreed, as if completely forgetting that the purpose of her coming was not to play chess.
………………
At the provincial highway crossing, about 30 kilometers away from Yingbin Avenue, three vans were parked in one place, the front of the car was facing the front of the car, like cats entrenched together for a tea party, and seven men with thieves and eyebrows squatted in two rows behind the butt of the car, smoking and talking.
"Ma Dayan, I've been waiting for a long time, and there is no news from your people, is this reliable? Why don't you rob a bank, it's so refreshing to rob a bank, and stuff a lot of money into your pocket. It's like you, you don't know where to make money when you're done. ”
The man who was questioned was a man crouched in the center of one of the rows, wearing old leather shoes, five-point pants and white stockings, and his mouth not only smelled bad, but also had the air of a mixed air of idle people in the urban-rural area.
The big-eyed man squatting across from him was as his name suggested, with a long black face and a thin face that looked like a two-eyed boss, and when he heard the question, his eyes were like copper bells.
"Then why don't you go rob the bank? There you go! Robbing a bank? Snort, it's good to be caught and counted as your fate, and with your virtue, you can't be shot to death by a strip. ”
"It's different to grab cigarettes, he called the police on this provincial highway and didn't arrive so quickly, we will withdraw after taking the cigarettes, and the cigarettes are not easy to sell? With so many cigarettes in your hands, it's not easy to make money. ”
