Go Legend Chapter 595

Chapter 595 Make an epic Go movie

"Qinhuai Five Wonders? Where did the Qinhuai Five Wonders come from?"

Li Xiangping looked astonished: "No, Uncle Zhao, you don't even know Qinhuai Wujue?"

Zhao Jiadong decided that he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He had to ask further questions. How could he let himself, a liberal arts student, lose his face?

In his heart, he made up his mind to find out who Qinhuai Wujue was as soon as possible, while Zhao Jiadong continued to look at the two pieces of paper in his hand.

"what?"

Next, Zhao Jiadong saw a bit of a strange text: "Go is the oldest board game on the earth. Its birth and development are almost synchronized with the evolution of human civilization. The beginning of all human civilization history is almost all from The myth story begins, and the origin of Go is also close to the myth. According to statistics, there are more than 4,000 chess games in the world. Go is not only the most complex, but the change of one chess game alone exceeds that of more than 4,000 other chess games. The sum of changes, and the origin of Go from myths and legends, which is also extremely rare in other board games”

Zhao Jiadong was a little unclear, so he just asked Li Xiangping to write a script, what was the meaning of his writing. It's just that after seeing the first paragraph, Zhao Jiadong thought it was still a bit interesting, so he continued to read it patiently.

He looked at it and found that Li Xiangping seemed to be writing a brief history of the development of Go. No, the term "brief history" may be a bit too big, saying that he "simply summed up the development of Go", this kind of wording should be more appropriate:

He wrote that after the development of Go passed the initial stage of mythology, it must have been formed and matured in the pre-Qin period of our country, and the most important evidence of which is that Confucius once commented on Go.

It's just a little regretful that Confucius' evaluation of Go was not positive: "It's hard to eat all day long and have nothing to do with it! There are no gamers, and it's still virtuous."

It is precisely because of this attitude of Confucius that when later literati talk about Go, the most common tone is this: the sages did not advocate Go, but there is no way, the charm of this "woody fox" is too great. , I was addicted to it unconsciously, so from this point of view, I am really the unworthy descendant of Confucius and his old man.

Seeing this paragraph, Zhao Jiadong smiled knowingly.  Guaranteed not to be in danger of being in danger.

Zhao Jiadong continued to look down. He saw that during the Han Dynasty, the mainstream society at that time had a fundamental change in the attitude towards Go. Li Xiangping believed that the most important promoter among them was Ban Gu, who first promoted the "Han Shu".

Ban Gu wrote "Yi Zhi" and made "Go Fu", and began to conduct some theoretical discussions on Go in academics. In particular, Ban Gu believed that Go was a good strategic game from the perspective of strategists, which made the status of Go abruptly improved.

In the later period of the Three Kingdoms period, Li Xiangping believed that Go had entered a real civilization era, because the oldest Go book in existence is the "Sun Cezhao Lu Fan Yiqi" from the Three Kingdoms period.

It's just a little regrettable that this chess record is most likely a fake for later generations

. Reasons for thinking it is a fake: Judging from the stone chessboards unearthed in that era, almost all of them are 17-way chessboards, but that chess sheet is on the 19-way chessboard, and considering that the chess sheet is recorded by the Song Dynasty "forgetting". Worry-free music collection", so the possibility of forgery is very great.

Zhao Jiadong then looked down, and he saw that Li Xiangping, although he didn't write much, really sorted out the whole context of ancient chess. The faster he was, the more interesting he was, because among them, some of them were popular goods that Zhao Jiadong knew better, and others In part, that would be cold knowledge to him.

"Hey, Xiang Ping, do you think that in the Tang Dynasty, chess players might have approached the modern professional level?"

"There is such a possibility," Li Xiangping replied with a smile: "The story of Gu Shiyan in the Tang Dynasty defeating the Japanese prince with a trick "Zhenshentou" should be known. , don't underestimate this method. Last year, I suffered a big loss in a game with Korean Xiao Li, so the focus now is to see whether this story is true or not. , it is at least close to the professional level, if it is the same as that "Sun Ce Zhao Lu Fan Yi Qi", that chess score is also compiled, then this level will be much worse."

"Oh, yay! Do you think that real professional chess players have appeared since the beginning of the Song Dynasty? And the professional chess player group at that time was still dominated by women?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "It depends on how you define a professional chess player. I have always believed that it is best not to distinguish between professionals and amateurs by their high level. Broadly speaking, as long as a person can make money by playing chess, If playing chess as their main means of making a living, this kind of person can be called a professional chess player, and according to this definition, this group has already appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.”

Li Xiangping paused: "As for why there are so many women, in fact, in the "Three Words and Two Pai" of the Ming Dynasty, there is a detailed description of this, and there is a small story related to Go, called "Little Daoist One" "Let's spare the world's female chess girls two games for life", Uncle Zhao, you must know that although Sanyan Erpai is known as "relying on Song affairs and expressing love", Song Ming is actually not far apart. Some of the details are still quite real, so in that story, the protagonist Xiaodao is likely to come from YY, but the identity of the girl is mostly real, and the prototype of the girl should be the professional female chess player of that era."

"Hehe, then why are there so many female professional chess players?"

"Because of the social division of labor, the Song Dynasty was known as the pinnacle of feudal society, the commodity economy was highly developed, and it was already considered a contract society. More importantly, in the Song Dynasty, women's social status was actually not low, and they had inheritance rights. At least in this regard, they are much more advanced than the Ming and Qing Dynasties that followed, and with so many factors coming together, it is not surprising that a large number of female professional chess players have appeared."

Zhao Jiadong nodded: "Yes, yes, the Song and Song Dynasties were indeed considered a contract society. At that time, even to be a concubine at someone's home had to sign a contract, and there were many "contract concubines"."

Li Xiangping laughed: "Yes, so if you don't know the people's feelings at the time, it will be difficult to understand many things at that time. For example, Su Dongpo, he was able to write after the death of his wife, "Ten years of life and death are boundless, without thinking, You can still exchange concubines with your friends with a sentence like "I will never forget it". If you look at it from a modern perspective, Su Dawen's scumbag doesn't need to be explained, and he is the kind of superb scumbag who can't get any more scumbags, but Many people would not know that this kind of situation was normal in those days. The two exchanged concubines. In fact, it was equivalent to the two companies at that time. Suddenly they both fell in love with each other's employees. I think your employees are here with me. It was suitable, and you were very satisfied with me as an employee, so the two hit it off and reached an employee exchange agreement, Uncle Zhao, isn't that so?"

Zhao Jiadong also laughed: "Haha, yes yes, your metaphor is very vivid, but you still missed a point. In fact, in those days, even if the two wanted to exchange employees, they had to get the consent of the employees themselves. , otherwise it was illegal in that era. The only problem Su Dongpo had at that time was that his charm was so great that his employee did not want to leave him at all, and after the agreement was signed, he also said a lot of regretful reluctance, This made Su Dabeard bear the infamy of the ages."

While chatting with Li Xiangping, Zhao Jiadong had already read the two sheets of paper. After reading it, he thought deeply:

"Xiang Ping, what do you mean by showing me something"

"I just want to build the world view of this drama first.."

"Worldview?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhao," Li Xiangping paused for a while: "I have thought about what kind of Go drama to shoot for a long time, and at the very beginning, I thought of the Japanese animation "Soul of Chess". "Chess Soul" is really well done. That drama showed the love for Go and the charm of Go, especially many of them's perception of Go. It's really meticulous, so do you want to go with "Chess Soul"? What about the same way? I thought about it later and let it go. After all, the Japanese have done a good job in this regard, and it is not only difficult to follow the trend, but also has a suspicion of picking up people's teeth.”

"So you just want to do the opposite. It takes a nuanced approach, you take a grand narrative approach, and use this method to show the beauty of Go, the charm of Go, and even the richness of Go, right? so?"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Zhao is still very good. I just have a vague idea. I didn't expect Uncle Zhao to sum it up so well."

"Stop flattering me," Zhao Jiadong scolded with a smile, and then said with emotion:

"Tsk tsk, I hear what you mean, it sounds like I'm going to make an epic movie, an epic movie about Go."

"Epic movies don't dare, that's what I think, since Go has existed in our country for so long, and Fan Shi's era is at the peak of medieval chess, so let's intercept that clip and try our best to make the content as simple as possible. It should be a little richer, and the film should be made a little thicker, so that everyone can know through this drama that Go is really not a simple chess game. It has long been a culture, a symbol, or even a symbol, which highly embodies Eastern philosophy. A symbol of thought."

"Hehehehe"

Zhao Jiadong suddenly let out a chuckle: Li Xiangping was inexplicably laughed by him:

"Uncle Zhao, what are you laughing at? Isn't my idea feasible?"

"Okay, it's too good! I personally think it's very good." When he said this, Zhao Jiadong suddenly stretched out his hand:

"Bring it."

"Take what?"

"Bring me a story, let me tell you, what you said just now is just the idea of the whole script. I personally think this idea is very good. If you really want to shoot what you want to express, maybe you can really become one It's a classic, but you know how to make a film and television drama, no matter how good the idea is, it needs the support of the story, and I need you to provide me with the story now."

Li Xiangping was overjoyed when he heard it:

"Uncle Zhao, are you talking about the official script? Haha, I've already thought about the main story, why don't I tell you now?"

"Oh? That's fine, then you can talk about it."
