——"The Soul of Chess"

text 丨 old sack



Because I lost the game of chess, I was deeply attracted by the game of black and white chess. Seeing my passion, although I don’t understand chess, it doesn’t affect the value of this drama Amway in the slightest. I feel like every episode is selling chess to me, and there is a Li Jiaqi’s voice behind shouting "Buy it, buy it" , I can’t wait to play a single game of chess right away, even if it is placed at home as a decoration, it looks very good, but fortunately, reason tells me "not to, not to", buying it will only accumulate ashes. Not much use.



Recently, my friend Amway watched "Soul of Chess", which ignited my interest in Go. It seems that chess competition is really poisonous. Whenever China shoots a chess-based TV series, I guess I can fall into it.



Actually, for Mangai's live-action version of "Soul of Go", I initially rejected it. After all, the original Japanese manga is comparable to "Slam Dunk", "Captain Football" and other Japanese kingly passionate representatives, chess and card works. , So it is impossible for Manga to reach the height of the original. And "Mangai live-action version" was originally a representative of the "giant pit" in domestic dramas. Thinking about how miserable the original live-action version of " Prince of Tennis " was, I can understand how worried I am about the quality of the live-action version of "Goku".



Fortunately, my friend praised me for Haikou, saying that it is definitely not a "pit", there are bright spots, there are laughs, and it is a work of conscience. In addition, Ke Jie has recently won the "Samsung Cup" World Go Masters Championship. When I got my eighth championship in the World Series, it was the occasion, so I watched a few episodes of "The Soul of the Game". I didn't expect it to be so delicious!



"Soul of Go" anime tells the story of a young man Shinto Hikaru meets the soul of a chess player from the Heian period, Fujiwara, and thus opens the story of the dream of Go. The live-action "Soul of Go" tells the time (played by Hu Xianxu) discovered by chance. An ancient chess board, and thus met Chu Ying, the first Nanliang Go player who has been on the chess board for thousands of years. Under his influence, he gradually became interested in Go and inspired to become a professional Go player.



If the plot is simply a copy of the original anime, it will definitely be spit out, so the live-action version of "God of the Game" has done corresponding localization in the plot.

For example, the spirit of chess in the original game is from the Heian period in Japan, and the drama version is Chu Ying, the first Nanliang Go player who has experienced thousands of years. In ancient China, "the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting" were originally advocated. In ancient times, the ability to play chess was comparable to the existence of literati and inkmen, and Chu Ying in the play was the chess player that Emperor Wu admired most.



Nowadays, the society is full of material desires, mahjong has become the quintessence of China, and Go has long been forgotten. Only a few elderly people will sit together and play chess when they have nothing to do. During the play, they want to participate in Go. During the game, he took Chu Ying to the chess and card room to find teammates, but he was everywhere to play mahjong. Only in the corner did he find a table to play Go.



and there is a lot of nostalgia in this film, you will see "Return to the Pearl", the return of Hong Kong, four-wheel drive racingToys, Detective Conan, Digimon... awakened many childhood memories.



, ​​but the "white impermanence" model played by Zhang Chao just came out. To be honest, I was almost dismissed. Fortunately, the expression is rich and cute, otherwise he would really be "insensitive". Why is the shape of



so weird, so it fits the original work, Nanliang’s style is very beautiful, literati, and handsome!



but fortunately the plot does not collapse, said to be the game of Go, it is the game of Go, absolutely not mixed with water, a lot of battle games, a lot of Go terms, professionalism is beyond doubt, no major faults can be found.



Of course, with the plug-in of Chu Ying, he passed through the game and grew up all the way, while Yu Liang, another "Go boy", acts as a confidant on the path of time growth.



Yu Liang was born in a family of Go. Unlike time, Yu Liang's father is a world champion of Go. He has a great talent for Go, so he thinks he is the son of choice, because many adults can't beat him. He lost to Time, only to know that there was someone outside, so he went abroad to study for six years and met Time again, Yu Liang won.



But the main core of the play is not about winning or losing, but about focusing on Go. Go originated in China and has been recorded during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was introduced to Japan via Korea in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and then spread to European and American countries. But Go, which originated in China, has declined in China. Our generation does not even know that Go is passed down in China. Just like in the play, it is the old people who love to play Go. The game of Go on TV will be spit out." "Who still watches Go"; some people will ask "Is Go a sport?"...



Our generation, very few people come into contact with Go. They are all urged by their parents to study hard in the cold window. There is no hobby at all, but now Children, parents are more willing to send them to dance training classes, English training classes, art training classes, calligraphy training classes, but Go training classes are really rare. Our generation still has such anime and film memories as "Soul of the Game". In the next generation and the next generation, maybe we don't even know what Go is.



hope that Chinese traditional culture can be remembered by every generation of Chinese. Even if it is lonely, it should be mentioned and valued frequently. In another way, let young people see the spirit and connotation of culture!
