Chapter 494 Chess has a soul, and Mr. has a soul
After having fun at the affiliated middle school for a while, at about 5 pm, I licked my watch:
"Oh sorry, I have something else to do later, Li Xiangping,"
When she said this, she pretended to stretch out her hand to Li Xiangping: "I'm very happy to know you today."
Li Xiangping looked outside and saw a car parked outside the door, so he reached out and touched her:
"I'm going to practice singing tonight, right? I'll give you a sincere advice. Your voice is obviously not good, and there is no future in the record."
He smiled loudly: "I just want to learn more, how dare I come up with a record...Huh? How do you know I'm practicing singing?"
Li Xiangping said that you dare not think about it now, because the mine in your family is still too small. After two or three years, with this wave of market in the resource industry, your family’s wealth will expand rapidly, and your ambition will naturally expand.
But this is naturally not easy to say in person, so Li Xiangping smiled and said:
"I analyzed and inferred that you all say that our Go players are very smart, so this inference is very simple."
"Hehe, I was really right about you just now. You like to be self-righteous."
She licked her big but didn't think much about it. After saying goodbye to the two, she walked out of the door. When she walked to the door, she suddenly turned around again:
"By the way, Li Xiangping, I'll warn you again. Don't ask me to lick it in the future. It's really ugly."
Li Xiangping smiled. Before he could speak, Zhao Daokai laughed and continued: "Haha, yes, but don't worry, since you think it's ugly, then I will force him to change his words and call you Xiao Tiantian in the future."
After the little girl opened her teeth and flew twice, she finally got into the car and flew away.
After the car left, Zhao Daokai turned to Li Xiangping: "How do you know she is going to practice singing?"
"Didn't you see the person in the car?"
"Who?"
"It's the middle-aged man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks sitting on the passenger seat."
"Who is he?"
"You think, don't you claim to be a music enthusiast? Don't you have any impression?"
The self-proclaimed "music enthusiast" really began to recall carefully, and after half a minute he was surprised:
"Oh! That person seems to be... the princess's princess's royal producer? Hehe, since I have found a master of this level, it seems that it is not a simple game."
Li Xiangping nodded, licking her big licking now is only 16 years old. In real history, she really released a record two years later, but she didn't hear any sound when she threw it into the market, so she focused on moving to film and television.
But Li Xiangping is not concerned about this now. He thinks of another thing from this.
"Hey, no, why are you suddenly lost your mind? You can't be really fascinated by that little girl..."
Li Xiangping didn't have time to joke with Zhao Daokai at this time:
"Daokai, I suddenly remembered that we seem to have overlooked a very important thing."
"What's the matter?"
"Name!" Li Xiangping said to his best friend seriously: "We seem to have forgotten to give you a name for the masterpiece."
That's right, this is what Li Xiangping just thought of: an excellent song can sometimes enhance the reputation and even quality of a film and television work, which is of course what everyone knows.
But for a painting, can a good name enhance the reputation of the painting? It seems hard to say, but just now, Li Xiangping just thought of a name - a name he thought was pretty good or even good, so he wants to try it now.
“…How to operate this…”
After Li Xiangping stood there for 3 minutes, he looked at the time and then called another phone number:
"Hello, Teacher Nie..."
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiangping said to Zhao Daokai: "Let's go, I'll take you to the old Nie family now."
"What are you doing at his house?"
"I want to find a few more people to look at the palm of your eyes," Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Let me tell you the truth. The painting you painted is quite good in person, but is it OK? Of course, you need to find a few more people to see."
After getting on Zhao Daokai's broken Santana, Li Xiangping continued to introduce more information:
"Daokai, you know, Lao Nie is the head of the Chinese delegation this time, so this time I took your painting to visit Mr. Xiuxing. I have reported to the Chess Academy a long time ago. The Chess Academy is very supportive and attaches great importance to it. They even notified Japan in advance through the embassy."
Zhao Daokai was stunned when he heard this: "It's so serious? Why does it look like a diplomatic activity?"
Li Xiangping smiled slightly. He, a new generation leader in the Chinese chess world, offered to visit a Japanese senior who had been favored by Chinese Go. In fact, if it really became a civil diplomatic activity, it would not be impossible, at least this specification is enough.
Li Xiangping said: "It is worth it to be serious. I don't know if you know it. The old man's health has always been bad. He is still fighting cancer. Therefore, the chess institute notified him in advance, just in case. However, it is hard to say whether this is considered a diplomatic event or not. After all, you also know that usually things like this depend on the meaning of the Japanese side. If they can receive it at a high standard, it might really become a diplomatic event."
Zhao Daokai nodded after hearing this. Although he is still a high school student now, he came from such a family after all, so he still understood such simple principles:
The differences between civil diplomacy and official diplomacy. The specifications of civil diplomacy actually depend on the reception party. For example, in the "Table Tennis Diplomacy" back then, several foreign athletes originally wanted to visit the Chinese table tennis team in a low-key manner, but China suddenly increased the reception specifications, which made it a masterpiece in the history of Chinese diplomacy.
Zhao Daokai asked, "What do you think will be like this in the end?"
Li Xiangping laughed: "How do I know this now? The only thing I know now is that after the chess institute passed on my meaning, the Japanese side quickly replied, expressing that I welcomed me to visit Mr. Xiuxing."
Zhao Daokai grabbed a point: "What you said is "very fast", how fast is it?"
"I heard that the news came in the afternoon, so I made a clear reply that night to welcome me to visit."
Zhao Daokai, who was driving, turned around and said, "Oh!"
Li Xiangping smiled at him, and then they stopped talking and drove to Lao Nie's house.
"...Hello, Teacher Nie, this is my classmate Zhao Daokai, this painting was painted by him..."
Because he said hello in advance, Lao Nie was not surprised by Zhao Daokai's appearance. In fact, from the moment he entered the door, he was deeply attracted by the painting held by Li Xiangping:
"............Yeah, you're going to be happy. This is what you drew? It's good, it's really good..."
Well, Li Xiangping was very satisfied with Lao Nie's reaction, because as an outsider, he had no idea what level of appreciation he had at all-----
But after seeing Lao Nie's reaction now, he was able to confirm at least one thing:
That is my own appreciation level, at least at the same level as Lao Nie.
Since I saw that Old Nie also likes this painting, of course there is no need to talk too much nonsense. After a few simple greetings, Li Xiangping went straight to the topic: "Hehe, Teacher Nie, do you like this painting too?"
"Well, judging by what you said, don't you like it?"
"Haha, of course I like it too, but because I like it so much, I think this painting seems to be a bit flawed."
"Flaws? What are the shortcomings?"
"Teacher Nie, don't you think such a good work is so you should give it a name?"
"Name?" Old Nie was stunned at the time, but he was stunned for less than 2 seconds, and then quickly slapped his thigh:
"Yes! The so-called naming is like a topic. Such a good work, you should click on the topic. It's good, Xiangping, you have a good idea and you have really thoughtful thinking... So what name should you give this painting..."
Look, since Old Man Nie can say "name is like a topic", it can be seen that his appreciation level is not as good as that of Li Xiangping. At least it will definitely not be lower than that of Li Xiangping.
According to Li Xiangping's previous thought, if Old Nie agrees, he would tell the name he thought of.
However, when he saw that Old Nie was more active than himself, he began to pace back and forth in his living room, so he decided to wait a moment to see what Old Nie would do.
Lao Nie's operation was to make a phone call. Li Xiangping heard the first call clearly. He called Liu Xiaoguang's 9th dan and asked him to come home immediately.
Then, Lao Nie dialed four or five more calls in a row, but unfortunately, among these calls, Li Xiangping knew some of them but didn't know them.
Well, it was still fine. The last call from Old Nie called, and Li Xiangping met again because he called his third wife and asked her to find a restaurant nearby so that everyone could have dinner together in the evening.
Looking at the busy old Nie, Li Xiangping thought silently, "Well, it's said that old Nie has low emotional intelligence. Now it seems that it's completely rumored. If anyone dares to say this in the future, then I will..."
Li Xiangping had no time to think about it because at this time, Liu Xiaoguang, who was living closest, had already arrived.
Liu Jiuduan's reaction was similar to that of Old Nie just now. After seeing the painting, he also strongly expressed his love.
Next, guests came to visit one after another. Among them, those who Li Xiangping knew were all people in the Go circle, and those who didn’t know were probably Lao Nie’s friends in the cultural circle.
But these people are all enthusiasts of calligraphy and painting without exception.
After the people gathered together, they naturally had a lot of discussions and talked a lot, and everyone named the painting.
After more than 20 minutes, Li Xiangping, who had been silent during this period, finally couldn't help it----
It doesn't seem that no one can satisfy him because of other names.
"This...inspired by everyone, I just thought of a name."
"Oh, it's Xiangping, hehe, you say."
"Since this painting is made for Mr. Xiuxing, I wonder if this painting can be called a chess and soul."
"Chess and Soul?"
"Chess and Soul!"
"Yes, yes, it's just a chess spirit..."
Li Xiangping responded while feeling proud. He said to himself, "soul soul". Now that I have "chess soul", why can't I create a "chess soul"? What's more, the current popularity of Japanese anime "chess soul" is so high, so I have to take advantage of it.
Silence, the entire living room of the old Nie family suddenly fell into silence. This silence made Li Xiangping feel a little embarrassed:
"Why...why? Do you think this name doesn't work?"
"Why can't it work? It's so good!"
The one who answered the conversation was Liu Xiaoguang's Ninth Duan, and he sighed:
"Oh! Chess has soul, and gentleman has spirit. Looking at Mr. Xiuxing's career, he can really afford the title of "chess and soul". Good name, good name, Xiangping, you are so talented..."
Li Xiangping was stunned at first, and then was complacent, thinking that he was really so talented.
So the name was decided.
Chapter completed!
