Film and TV: Obtain Alpha Dog at the beginning

"Qin Hao, the guest house is over there."

"Well, I know. I'll make a call. You can go back first."

Qin Hao walked straight to the newsstand nearby: "Boss, can this phone be used for long distance calls?"

"Okay, 60 cents per minute for long distance calls, 10 cents for no calls."

I have to say, making phone calls is really expensive these days.

However, Qin Hao reluctantly picked up the phone and dialed the number at the alley entrance of the cotton spinning factory.

"Hi, hello, I'm Qin Hao. I'm looking for Song Ying. If she's not at home, Lin Gong can do it. Okay, thank you."

At the same time, Song Ying's family was having dinner in the small courtyard.

Lin Wufeng saw Song Ying looking worried, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, Haozi is much more mature than children of the same age. He will take care of himself."

"I know, but after all, this is my first time traveling far away, and it's still so far away from the capital. I don't know what's going on now." Song Ying said in a panic.

Lin Dongzhe also sighed: "Brother Hao doesn't know if he will remember to bring me something."

Song Ying glared at her son angrily, and suddenly heard someone shouting outside the yard: "Is Song Ying at home? It's a long way from the capital."

"Here, I'm here." Song Ying didn't bother to teach Lin Dongzhe a lesson, threw down the bowls and chopsticks and ran out.

Before Lin Wufeng opened his mouth, Lin Dongzhe quickly chased after him.

"When I'm on a business trip, are they like this at home?" Lin Wufeng said to himself sourly.

Huang Ling from the next room opened the door and came out, curiously asking: "Why did Song Ying get so startled?"

"It should be a call from Haozi, from Beijing."

"No wonder."

On the other side, Song Ying ran all the way to the state-owned store. Before she could catch her breath, she picked up the phone and said, "Hey, Haozi, is that you?"

"It's Aunt Song. Long-distance calls are expensive, so I'll keep the story short. I'm fine in the capital. You don't have to worry. Also, I won both preliminary rounds today. The main competition will start tomorrow. Besides, you don't need a TV." I saved up money to buy it. The second prize in this competition is a TV set. I will bring it back.”

Song Ying listened to Qin Hao's words, feeling happy and sad at the same time. This child was so sensible, and she was still thinking about her saving money to buy a TV so far away.

"Kid, second place is not something you can just win. Just compete well and don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's already great to be able to enter the main competition. I'm proud of you."

"And me, Brother Hao."

Hearing Lin Dongzhe's voice, the corners of Qin Hao's mouth raised slightly.

"Aunt Song, please tell Lin Dongzhe that I will bring him a gift, and also bring one to Uncle Lin for me. I will hang up now and I will go back after the competition is over. You don't have to worry."

"Okay, please be safe."

After Song Ying gave the money, Lin Dongzhe kept complaining on the way back: "Mom, why did you hang up so quickly? I haven't even talked to Brother Hao yet."

"Haozi promised to bring you a gift. What's there to say? The long-distance phone charges are so expensive. If you just say a few words, your money for buying gifts will be gone."

Hearing what Song Ying said, Lin Dongzhe had no choice but to shut up in anger.

When the two returned to the small courtyard, Huang Ling's family had finished eating and were taking some fresh air in the courtyard. Although the weather was not hot in April, there was a lot of rain in the Jiangnan area, and the house was small and very humid, so it was not as comfortable as staying outside.

"Hey, Song Ying is back. How is Haozi?"

"It's good. Haozi said that he has passed the preliminary round and the main competition will start tomorrow."

Zhuang Chaoying was a little surprised when he heard this: "Have you passed the preliminary round?"

"Yes, Haozi also said that there is an extra prize in this competition. The second place is a TV set. He said he would bring the TV set back." Song Ying said with excitement. In her opinion, this is Regardless of whether the child's filial piety can be fulfilled in the end, she is already very satisfied if she has this heart.

Suddenly, the sour voice of Wang Yong's wife came from the yard next door.

"Oh, if this is really the case, that would be incredible. Song Ying, you are so lucky. Your biological son has not even begun to show filial piety, but your adopted child has already repaid you."

Song Ying was not happy when she heard this. She was about to fight Wang Yong's wife for 800 rounds when Huang Ling saw this and quickly changed the subject.

"Haozi is really a good boy. He is more sensible than our Tunan. He knows how to be grateful at a young age."

Song Ying's nose became sore when she heard this, and she held Huang Ling's hand: "Sister Ling, this child is so sensible. I don't have much money with me. I'm worried that I would spend so much money to come here. Sister Huijuan will teach this child It's great, but it's a pity that she is not lucky..."

Huang Ling hugged Song Ying and comforted her for a while, but Wang Yong's wife next door had no choice but to stop her activities when she saw this.

At night, as soon as Huang Ling lay down on the bed after washing, she saw Zhuang Chaoying thinking about something, quite entranced.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhuang Chaoying looked at the room outside and lowered her voice: "I'm wondering why Haozi broke into the main competition."

"Look at what you said, why can't Haozi break into the main competition?" Huang Ling rolled her eyes.

Zhuang Chaoying hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. I heard Lao Wang say about this National Children's Go Competition that the competition is very cruel. Think about it, young geniuses from all over the country gather together to fight. In the preliminary round, the winner or loser will be determined. Winning two games in a row is enough to qualify for the main round, which is equivalent to being eliminated in three quarters. Lao Wang's son has been learning chess for so many years, but he didn't even pass the preliminary round. "

"No matter how talented Haozi is, at his age, he has never learned Go systematically, and he has no guidance from famous teachers. How did he break into the main competition?"

Huang Ling didn't think so: "The reason why the genius is a genius is that he is different from ordinary people, just like the top students in your school. Maybe he just has this talent and can be very good by self-study."

"Can a genius really be so unreasonable?" Zhuang Chaoying expressed doubt. Although he has seen many smart students, they still need teachers and books to guide them. It is too desperate to rely on self-study to be better than hiring famous teachers to guide them.

"Haozi is really good. Before, Lin Dongzhe went to Grandpa Zhang's house to watch TV and was despised. Song Ying said that she wanted to save money to buy a TV. It happened that the prize for the second place in this Go competition was a TV. Haozi said he wanted to bring it back." Huang Ling said with some emotion.

Zhuang Chaoying shook his head when he heard this: "In a national competition like this, it's rare to be in the top ten. How can you get the second place just by saying so? I guess it's just to make Song Ying happy. You should also talk to Song Ying and ask her not to put too much pressure on the child."

"Don't worry, Song Ying won't care about these things. As long as Haozi can have this heart, it's good enough. Finally, it's not in vain for Song Ying's efforts."

Zhuang Chaoying's face changed slightly. He always felt that his wife's words were like accusing his family of not being grateful.

He had a feeling that his wife's temper had been getting worse since they divided the house.

"Is it because the feng shui of this house is not good?"

The next day, the news that Qin Hao had entered the main competition in the national competition spread in the cotton mill family alley.

"Oh my, this Haozi is amazing. He represented our Suzhou Children's Palace in the national competition at such a young age."

"Yes, that child has been smart since he was young. I watched him grow up."

"It's a pity for such a good child. His parents passed away too early, and he met such uncles and aunts."

"I also heard that the prize for the second place in this competition is a TV. Haozi said he wanted to win this TV back for Song Ying."

"Tsk tsk, if Haozi really wins the TV back, his second uncle and second aunt will be furious."

After Qin Jianjun and his wife learned about it, they looked down on him: " Humph, you speak so truthfully. Just because he got the second place, he is not afraid of exaggerating. I think he is more like the second to last. "

"That's right. I have never seen him play Go since he was a child. I don't know what means he used to get into the Children's Palace. You still expect him to get a good ranking in the national competition. Dream on!"

The emotions of the old couple of the Qin family were much more complicated. Originally, this was the honor of their Qin family, but because of the second son, they and the eldest grandson were at loggerheads. But the eldest son died, and they still depended on the second son for their retirement. They could only pretend not to hear it. When they went to bed at night, they sighed helplessly in their quilts.

...

The next day, early in the morning, Qin Hao and his party squeezed into the bus to go to the Beijing Children's Palace.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Children's Palace, Wu Yue was surprised to find that a group of people were interviewing Nie Weiping and Chen Zude.

"Alas, if I could have this treatment, even for just one day, it would be worth dying for."

Liu Hong laughed and scolded: "Look at your little achievement. Instead of dreaming in the daytime, you might as well play chess well and strive to get a good ranking."

Wu Yue scratched his head and smiled: "Teacher Liu, I will play well, but it is probably difficult to get into the top ten. It would be a victory if I can enter the top 24."

The group came to the rest area with laughter. At nine o'clock, Liu Hong was arranged to draw lots. From the beginning of the main competition, there was no distinction between within and outside the province, so Liu Hong had a complicated mood when drawing lots. On the one hand, he hoped that Wu Yue and Wang Yang would not be drawn together, and on the other hand, he felt that if they were drawn together, at least someone could move forward one step.

As for Qin Hao, Liu Hong never worried about what kind of opponent he would draw. What he should worry about is whether the opponent would cry.

The final result of the draw was that Qin Hao and the other two drew opponents from other provinces.

From the beginning of the main competition, it was a three-game two-win system, which had a certain margin of error.

Nie Weiping and Chen Zude each held the list of opponents on the rostrum.

Chen Zude suddenly turned to Nie Weiping and said, "It seems that there is no strong competition in this round today."

"Well, the seeded players have basically avoided it, but there is one game that is still worth paying attention to." Nie Weiping said slowly.

"Oh? Which game?"

"Do you remember the one who made the opponent cry in fifteen minutes yesterday?"

"I have some impression. His name is Qin Hao, right?" Chen Zude looked at the match list in his hand.

"Oh, I just said that the opponent was too weak yesterday, and today a touchstone came."

Nie Weiping smiled and took a sip of tea: "The strength of this touchstone is not low. It depends on whether he can bite it off."

A breeze blew, and the top page of the match list was turned over, revealing the player information on the page below.

Zhou Tao, male, born in January 1963, participated in three national children's Go competitions, and his best result was stopped at the top 16.

In the competition area, the referee reiterated the rules of the game and announced the official start of the main competition.

"Zhou Tao, please give me some advice."

"Qin Hao, let's start."

Qin Hao grabbed a handful of chess pieces from the chess box and placed them on the chessboard.

Zhou Tao frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Hao's "arrogance". After a moment's hesitation, he took out a chess piece from the chess box: single.

Guessing wrong, Qin Hao got the right to play black first.

"Point three three."

Facing Qin Hao's somewhat weird first move, Zhou Tao chose close combat: "Four three, stick!"

On the rostrum, Chen Zude and Nie Weiping had been observing the game between Qin Hao and Zhou Tao. In the first thirty moves, both sides played very quickly, but after thirty moves, Zhou Tao's speed of making moves became significantly slower, and after fifty moves, he spent more and more time thinking.

Chen Zude said to Nie Weiping: "It seems that this kid's understanding of Go is much better than we thought."

There is actually no direct connection between the speed of making moves and the strength of the chess, but in the middle stage, if you can make moves almost without thinking, you either know nothing about Go or have enough confidence in your own strength. Obviously, Qin Hao is the latter.

Sure enough, just as Chen Zude and Nie Weiping expected, at about 120 moves, Zhou Tao chose to give up and admit defeat with sweat all over his head.

After the referee recorded the game, he announced the start of the second game.

Chen Zude and Nie Weiping found the referee and asked for the game.

"This kid's chess is full of murderous intent."

"I feel a little sorry for Zhou Tao now. This is his last year, but he met such an opponent."

Nie Weiping frowned: "Who do you think this kid learned chess from?"

"It's hard to say from anyone." Chen Zude shook his head.

"Also, did you notice that although this kid always plays at point 33 at the beginning, each game has a different pattern, or in other words, he doesn't use any pattern at all."

"It may be that this pattern is something we haven't seen before."

Just when Chen Zude and Nie Weiping were studying Qin Hao's chess moves, his second game with Zhou Tao had already ended.

Zhou Tao's eyes were red and tears were in his eyes. He reluctantly put a handful of chess pieces on the chessboard.

"I give up."

After the referee announced the victory and advancement, Qin Hao was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Tao.

"Kid, how old are you this year?"

"Ten years old in five months."

Zhou Tao laughed bitterly: "Less than ten years old... Do I really have no talent?"

Qin Hao thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​comforting the other party. Go is a track that cannot be passed without a genius. The other party looks quite old, but he only has this chess skill, which means he is not suitable for this job. It is better to change his career. Maybe he can get a better opportunity in the wave of reform and opening up.

As the first player to advance, he also attracted the attention of many coaches and teachers off the field. However, they asked many people, and they were all unfamiliar with the name Qin Hao, let alone any understanding of his chess style.

The reporter from Beijing TV station found Qin Hao because he was free.

"Can we do a brief interview?"

"Yes."

"What's your name, kid? How old are you this year? How many times have you participated in the National Children's Go Competition?"

"Qin Hao, he will be ten years old in five months, and this is his first time participating."

"Wow, it's amazing that he can enter the top 48 at such a young age. What are your expectations for this competition?"

"Get the second place."

The reporter asked puzzledly: "Why the second place, not the first place?"

"The prize for the second place is a TV, and our family just needs one."
