After Liu Qingxi returned, Su Ping'an looked a little excited.
The charm of chess has been confirmed by Liu Qingxi. The rules are simple, easy to learn, highly interesting, and easy to get addicted to.
This shows that Xiangqi already has the potential to become a big hit, but how to promote it and get it recognized by a group of literary cultivators in Daming Mansion within a month is a problem.
After all, there was still one month before the Wen Gong School Examination, and he had to make chess popular in Daming Mansion before then. Only in this way could he get back on the chess track during the exam.
"What should I do?!"
Su Pingan touched his chin with his hand and couldn't help but feel troubled.
The easiest way to promote a thing is to advertise it spontaneously. If the advertisements are spread all over the place, even something that is not very good will still have some popularity.
But this is somewhat difficult for chess. After all, chess is a new thing that no one has ever been exposed to. Even if the advertisement is spread out and no one knows what it is, the effect will naturally be minimal.
The other method is, of course, ‘packaging’.
If a person or a thing wants to be popular, it is natural to package it through a "TV series" or "movie". Once the "TV series" or "movie" becomes popular, that person or thing will naturally become popular.
"But there seems to be no 'TV series' or 'movies' about the popularity of chess in the previous life."
Su Ping'an searched around in his memory, and finally found only the animation "The King of Chess".
But in my memory, this animation doesn't seem to be very good, the plot is not good, and the chess records in it are also fake, just like "Go Boy", but in the latter, except that the chess records in it are all fake, the plot is still quite interesting.
, and the reputation is also good.
"Anyway, people in this world don't know that 'Jiang Liu'er' plays Go, so what if I adapt it and let 'Jiang Liu'er' play chess?"
Su Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he gradually had an idea in his heart. Then he slapped his forehead and said, "I'm a fucking genius!"
…
Early the next morning, Xiao Fuzi rubbed his eyes and got up ready to open the business.
But it was strange today. When he came to the lobby, he suddenly found that there was an extra table in front of the literary list in the middle of the lobby, and on that table, there was a square,
A small wooden board covered with vertical and horizontal diagonal lines.
"This looks like a chessboard, but it doesn't seem like it is..."
Xiao Fuzi looked at the small wooden board and couldn't help but feel curious.
At this moment, Su Ping'an walked down from the box on the second floor, holding a stack of comic strips he had just drawn in his hand. As he walked down, he said to Xiao Fuzi: "This is a chessboard, but it's not for Go."
A chessboard, but - chess!"
"Chess?!" Xiao Fuzi looked confused.
Su Pingan smiled and said nothing, then stretched out his hand and sealed all the drawings in his hand into the literary list, then picked up a jade tablet and wrote a list on it.
"Go Boy", written by Su Sheng Xiaomeng.
Looking at the jade plaque hung by Su Ping'an, Xiao Fuzi looked surprised, "Brother Su, have you published a new comic book?"
Su Pingan nodded, "That's right."
"But what is this 'chess'?"
Su Ping'an did not answer him directly, but pointed at the essay list beside him and said: "If you want to know the answer, you can find out by yourself. I can only tell you that this is a new chess game I created.
, and anyone who wants to learn can easily learn it.”
When Xiao Fuzi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Anyone can learn it?
Doesn’t that mean that I also have a chance to become a literary cultivator?!
Xiao Fuzi was overjoyed, and immediately started reading "The Chess Boy", and was quickly attracted by the story above.
Su Ping'an's "Chess Boy" is adapted from "Go Boy". The characters and storyline are exactly the same as the original one. "Jiang Liu'er" is still the same "Jiang Liu'er", but his game of "Go" is changed.
Just changed it to 'chess'.
Regarding the chess records in the story, Su Pingan also put in a lot of effort this time. He replaced every chess game in the story with the games he played with the old people in his previous life. Some key games were even played with
In previous lives, the chess records of battles between many famous generals and masters were truly wonderful and well-spoken.
Moreover, at the beginning of the comic strip, the protagonist’s perspective is used to introduce the origin and origin of chess in the book, and the rules of chess are told through stories and illustrations, which will make it easier for people to accept chess.
Then the scroll opened, and a story about a down-and-out young man who learned chess at Lingyun Temple and gradually showed his talents began...
In the morning, the restaurant opened for business.
After many customers entered the store in an endless stream, they quickly noticed the chess board in front of the Wen Bang.
"Xiao Fuzi, what is this? It looks like a chessboard, but it doesn't seem like it..."
Someone looked at the chessboard and couldn't figure it out for a while, so they couldn't help but ask Xiao Fuzi.
Xiao Fuzi, who had read the comic strips, was already regarded as an 'old master' in front of all the 'newbies'. He immediately grinned, and then introduced everyone according to what Su Ping'an had told him in advance: "
This is called chess. It is a chess game introduced in the comic strip that my brother Su spent all night and painstakingly created last night. It is still in the testing stage. You can read the comic book first to understand the rules. If you are familiar with it,
After you know it, you can try it out and see how this new chess game goes..."
"New chess game? Real or fake?"
Hearing what Xiao Fuzi said, everyone in the store was surprised.
They have the same concept as Liu Qingxi. They have long been accustomed to the only chess game on the mainland for more than a thousand years, and that is Go.
But now someone actually says that a new chess game has been created. How can this not surprise people?!
Afterwards, everyone looked at "Chess Boy" with an attitude of curiosity and testing. From the beginning, everyone was shocked by the complete rules of chess and how to capture pieces.
"Is this something someone figured out overnight?"
"The rules and gameplay are so novel, and they seem quite reasonable!"
"Why do I feel like I know it after I only read two pages? Am I having an illusion?!"
In fact, it's not just one person who feels this way.
After reading the first few pages of the comic strip, everyone felt that chess... was not difficult at all!
Immediately, someone moved their eyes to the chessboard next to it.
