"Oh, are you going to arrange for Xu Xingyou to appear in the first episode? The story of the whole great power player starts with him?"

"Yes, Fan Shi's era is the peak of medieval chess. Five of the nine national players in the age of medieval chess were in that era. Among those five national players, Xu Xingyou was the oldest at that time. Although his chess skills may be the weakest among the nine national players, he appeared just in time, with Huang Long and Zhou Hu above and Fan Shi below, and he also served as the real leader of the martial arts world and gave Shi Xiangxia a book, so I think the story should be the most suitable one from him."

"The leader of the martial arts world? The kindness of giving a book?"

"Yes," Li Xiangping explained to Zhao Jiadong:

"Before Fan Shi was born, the real martial arts leader in the chess world was Huang Yuetian. However, Huang Yuetian's mysterious disappearance was the kind of disappearance method that was not recorded in historical materials. Xu Xingyou and Huang Yuetian had a strange relationship. Xu was actually older than Huang, but he had officially become Huang as his teacher, and he was younger in his seniority. After Huang disappeared, Xu Xingyou first devoted himself to studying chess skills, claiming to not leave the attic for three years, and then wrote the famous "Jianshantang Qi Tu". After writing the book, he went to the capital again, defeated Zhou Donghou, the "Zhou Hu" who was as famous as Huang Yuetian, and retreated to China to challenge the Korean envoy. For a time, his reputation rose and his prestige was publicly recommended as the martial arts leader by the Chinese chess world at that time."

Zhao Jiadong still knew that Xu Xingyou had won Zhou Donghou. After all, in this battle at that time, the famous dramatist Kong Shangren once left a poem: "When the curtains are clear and the mat is moved, the real sect will turn into white moustache after the game is over. The veteran Zhou Lang lost two sons, and Chang'an is not a chess."

Kong Shangren is the one who wrote the "peach blossom fan". He cannot underestimate the "peach blossom fan". There is a very famous opera in it. At least Li Xiangping reads novels in Yuewen in his previous life. He has read that opera at least a hundred times:

Seeing him building a tall building, seeing him having a banquet for guests, and seeing his building collapse...

Maybe it was because of this reason that Zhao Jiadong still knew about the fight between Xu Xingyou and Zhou Donghou. He was interested in the latter part: "Hey, Xu Xingyou has won the Koreans? At that time, there were actually Koreans coming to China to challenge?"

"Yes, there are real historical records about this incident. I said that our drama is not "spoken" or made up randomly. All plots try to match the facts at that time. Xu Xingyou defeated the Korean envoy. This is a real event in history. However, the strength of the Korean man may be too weak. Xu Xingyou won 7 games in a row at that time, which led to the fact that this incident did not cause too many waves."

"It's not true. If Xu Xingyou really had "promoted our country's power", then this matter should be quite sensational and unlikely to be unfamous."

Li Xiangping was silent for a while: "I thought of a possibility, which is that I was hesitating whether to write it into the script."

“What is possible?”

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, you know that South Korea took China as an example at that time and even called itself a "little China". However, they were only close to the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't really like "I Daqing" and thought it was a "barbarian" who was even more behind them. Therefore, I guess the Korean envoy who came to challenge should be a fan of "little China". He believed that China was now the "barbarian" and that things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting must have declined significantly, so he had the courage to come to challenge it. Unfortunately, his strength was too poor. He originally wanted to teach "I Daqing" to be a person, but he was just taught by Xu Xingyou."

"Hahahaha..." Zhao Jiadong laughed out loud: "It's true that this possibility really exists, which is in line with the character of the Koreans and the facts at that time."

But after laughing, Zhao Jiadong looked at Li Xiangping and said, "Forget it, let's do Go dramas, and it's better to be as vague as possible in some things like this. I'd even just not mention it. Just be the Korean envoy who is simply a madman who is overestimating his abilities. What do you think?"

Li Xiangping nodded after hearing this. He actually meant that. Since he was doing Go themes, it would be better to be simpler. Don’t add so many other messy things.

After expressing his opinions, Zhao Jiadong continued to say enthusiastically:

"Not bad, one challenged the old senior, and the other defeated the foreign envoy. With these two scenes, the first episode is exciting enough and should attract people, but isn't it filming Fan Shi? How can we lead the male lead?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "I checked the time. When Xu Xingyou officially became the leader of the martial arts world, Shi Xiangxia happened to be just born, so I switched it with a simple lens. On one hand, Xu Xingyou officially took office in the capital, and on the other hand, a child in Haining, Zhejiang was just born."

Li Xiangping paused and continued, "By the way, Fan Xiping is from Haining, he is one year older than Shi Xiangxia, so we can design a scene to arrange two later chess saints to appear at the same time on the day Xu Xingyou took the position. For example, we designed Fan Xiping's birthday that day, and his family "climbed the week" for him. Then Fan Shi's two families are quite familiar. Shi Xiangxia's parents took their children to celebrate, so the two children appeared at the same time in the same shot. In the capital, Zhou Donghou and others were also posing for Xu Xingyou to celebrate his defeat of the Korean envoy, and then jointly elected him to the throne of the leader of the martial arts world."

"Haha, it's not bad. This plot is well designed. Since we talk about the past week, we can even enrich the details. Don't we have to "catch the week" when we go through the week, so we will arrange for Fan Xiping to catch the week and let him catch Go."

"Ha ha ha ha......"

This time, the two of them laughed at the same time.

"Oh, Xiangping, I think the picture you imagine is very symbolic. Then the drama you conceived wants to compete for the leader of the martial arts world as the main line?"

"That's certainly," Li Xiangping said naturally: "No matter how you say Go, it is a game that requires a victory or defeat. Therefore, it is almost inevitable that a game of chess competition will be played by the masters of the chess world at that time."

Li Xiangping paused and continued, "And Uncle Zhao, I tell you that the competition for chess in the chess world at that time was quite interesting. It was both exciting and intense, and there was a hint of warmth, which was completely different from the Japanese chess world at the same time."

"Tenderness? How to explain it?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, the final climax of this drama must be the "Danghu Ten Games" between Fan Shi and his two men. "Danghu Ten Games" actually scored thirteen games. Uncle Zhao must know, but what you may not know is that the result of Danghu was actually Shi Xiangxia won, and he defeated Fan Xiping 7-6."

"real?"

Li Xiangping thought that this could be fake, just the result of "being a lake" was reasonably inferred by someone in his previous life through comprehensive historical materials, and this result has been recognized by more and more people. In this life, Li Xiangping personally asked about his plug-in, and the plug-in also personally admitted that he really won the extra game.

"Uncle Zhao, don't question this result, and let me tell you that when Fan Shi played "Danghu", Fan was 31 years old and Shi was 30 years old. Ten years ago, when they were just twenty-one and two, they also played a real ten-game chess. The first ten-game chess between the two, both sides tied in five to five."

"oh?"

Li Xiangping nodded: "The score of the two is not the point. The point is that when they were 20 years old, Shi Xiangxia was obviously not an opponent. Fan Xiping became a national player at the age of 16. At that time, Shi Xiangxia was still far from it. Now an interesting question arises: whether Fan can win at the age of 20 or not. When he was 30 years old, Shi Xiangxia obviously won, but he kept the result confidential and did not promote the news that he defeated Fan Xiping. Uncle Zhao, what do you think these two games represent? What keywords can be extracted?"

"Haha, what do you think of Xiangping?"

"Friendship, freedom and modesty."

Li Xiangping sighed and said, "Through these two competitions, I can first extract these three keywords. Needless to say, "friendship" is the same. Fan Shi and his two masters are real brothers. They have a deep relationship since childhood. Their relationship is a bit similar to me and Daokai."

Li Xiangping paused and continued, "As for free and easy, I mean Fan Xiping's free and easy. Fan Xiping is indeed extraordinary and extremely free and easy. In modern terms, he has been free and easy enough to surpass ordinary winners and losers. Only a person like him, who is like a "chess fairy", will he be able to win or not, and help his junior brother become famous in this way. And modesty, of course, refers to Shi Xiangxia's modesty. He respects Fan Xiping throughout his life and has always been willing to be a member of others, so he will do things that keep the results of the game confidential."

When Li Xiangping finished speaking this, Zhao Jiadong's eyes shone:

"Oh, if this drama shoots all these, then the whole idea will be much higher."

Li Xiangping smiled: "How about Uncle Zhao? Is this story very warm? It's definitely full of positive energy. Of course, there is no need to be warm in the Go drama. After all, competition is the theme of Go, and the more fierce the competition, the better it may be. I thought about it before. Since Fan Shi and the other two are not responsible for the fierce competition, those who are responsible for this part must find others."

"Who are you going to find?"

Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "Cheng Lanru, who is ranked among the nine major players of ancient chess with Fan Shi, and Cheng Lanru, who was named "Four Qing Countries" with Fan Shi at that time."

"Cheng Lanru? Is Cheng Lanru, the two-time national player in Go and Chess? Why are he looking for him?"

"Because he is the most suitable," Li Xiangping explained to Zhao Jiadong:

"We just said that the whole drama is based on fighting for the leader of the martial arts world. In real history, since Fan Shi is much younger than Xu Xingyou, it is not the two of them who officially pulled Xu Xingyou off, but Cheng Lanru. He probably came from his hometown to the capital to challenge Xu Xingyou from his hometown to the capital and won the battle, thus officially becoming the new generation of chess overlords."

"oh?"

"Yes," Li Xiangping continued to smile and said:

"It's just that this double-produced national player is good at everything, but he has a small disadvantage. This person cherishes his feathers more."

"Cherish your feathers?"

"That's right, I personally think that Cheng Lanru is also miserable. He just became the leader of the new martial arts world. Fan Xiping rose rapidly. He defeated another national player at the age of 16 and officially became the new national player. You must know that at that time, Liang Weijin was as famous as Cheng Lanru. Therefore, after Fan Xiping defeated Liang Weijin, his fight with Cheng Lanru was actually inevitable. At this time, Cheng Lanru showed his side of cherishing his feathers."

“How to say it?”

"In modern times, Cheng Lanru and Fan Xiping only left one chess record, and the only match between the two was Fan Xiping lost."

"ah?"

Li Xiangping nodded: "I once read a piece of unofficial history. According to legend, because Cheng Lanru was afraid of Fan Xiping, he was unavoidable. Before the next game, he designed to get Fan Xiping drunk, which made him win half a son. After that, in order to maintain his position as the leader of the martial arts world, he no longer refused to get off the Fan Xiping."

"hehe."

Li Xiangping continued to smile and said, "It's a pity that Cheng Lanru could avoid Fan Xiping, but he forgot to avoid Shi Xiangxia. It should be that Shi's fame was far inferior to Fan at that time, so in the face of Shi Xiangxia's challenge, Cheng Lanru happily responded. Uncle Zhao, I don't know that Shi Cheng and the other two left behind a famous score known as "Dance of Nine Dragons". At that time, there were nine big dragons strangled together. The game of chess was so fierce that it was not modern chess, even among the bloodthirsty middle-aged chess. Then, can we design such a plot: Shi Xiangxia wanted to avenge his senior brother, so he was so cruel to Cheng Lanru, and finally beat Cheng Lanru all over the ground for teeth?"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

After laughing, Zhao Jiadong did not reply directly, but asked back:

"Then according to your opinion, if Fan Shi and the other two are the protagonists of the whole drama, then Cheng Lanru is the first supporting role?"

"No, there is another person in my mind."

"There is another person, who?"

"Of course he was a rich man at that time, the big salt merchant at that time, Hu Zhaolin, who was called Hu Tietou."

Li Xiangping explained to Zhao Jiadong: "Although Cheng Lanru is responsible for the competition, I don't want to portray him as a real villain. After all, cherishing feathers is not a particularly big problem, and those who play Go do not need to create so many bad people. Uncle Zhao, don't you think?"

"Haha, Cheng Lanru is responsible for the competition. What about Hu Zhaolin? What is he responsible for?"

Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "Of course he is responsible for the funny and relaxed whole drama. Uncle Zhao, you may not know that although Brother Tietou is a rich man, his personality is very likable and even has a bit of funny attributes. He and Fan Shi are friends, and especially like to find Fan Shi and play color chess, and then they are teased by them in various ways. There is a story you must have heard. Brother Tietou once asked Fan Xiping to play color chess, but in private, he went to contact Shi Xiangxia and asked Shi Xiangxia to give him advice. Shi Xiangxia was not aware of it at that time and helped him, but it was soon discovered by Fan Xiping, leaving behind such a floating thing as "Before the Ding'an people arrived, his chess came first". By the way, since Hu Zhaolin is a big salt merchant and often goes to the pleasure boats of the Qinhuai River to play color chess, the heroine of the whole drama book actually has to be drawn out through him, so his role must be quite heavy. I even think whether the whole drama can be outstanding is the actor of Brother Tietou...."

On this day, Li Xiangping stayed at Zhao Daokai's house for a long time. He chatted with Zhao Jiadong for several hours before leaving without feeling satisfied.

Of course, that's all Li Xiangping can do now, and what he just said is not the real script. The most accurate description should be "the "big power player" that Li Xiangping personally hopes to see."

As for whether his hope can be cashed in, it is definitely not up to him next, but mainly how Zhao Jiadong promotes it.

Zhao Jiadong showed great interest.

And according to him, if he wants to make such a drama, it is not suitable to make a "TV movie" with only eight episodes. The best way is to directly make a TV series with dozens of episodes, and then see if it can be broadcast on CCTV One.

On the second day, Zhao Jiadong began to work on this matter.
