Chapter 458: Cognitive Dissonance Theory
"Hey, hey, Brother Shan, we haven't finished asking the question yet, can't you snatch my brother Akan?" Wang Yumeng wrinkled his little nose and said mischievously while holding Yi Shuihan's hand.
She is this kind of naughty character, she loves to play and make trouble, she likes to play tricks on people, Hong Dingshan's honest personality makes her just bully.
Of course, it was just a joke on her part, and there was nothing ill about it.
Hong Dingshan has a simple personality and does not care about little girls, he smiled bitterly and begged for mercy.
Yi Shuihan flicked Wang Yumeng's brain and criticized: "Don't be naughty!"
Wang Yumeng didn't dare to be presumptuous about Yi Shuihan, pouted and lay on the table, this little appearance of pretending to be aggrieved made Yi Shuihan and the others want to laugh.
Liang Qing'er was very well-behaved, and made room for Hong Dingshan, so that he could communicate better with Yi Shuihan.
"There's a question here that I don't understand, since the beginning of cracking the Zhenlong chess game, there have been many people who want to change Xuzhu's beliefs, such as Wu Yazi, Su Xinghe, Divine Doctor Xue Muhua and other capable people, but all of them have failed, so why can Tianshan Tong solve this problem?" Hong Dingshan asked suspiciously, he hadn't figured it out for a long time, and he had no choice but to consult Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan, as the screenwriter of "Dragon Babu", must have his own understanding of this issue.
Wang Yumeng saw that they were discussing issues seriously and stopped playing, and obediently sat beside Yi Shuihan to listen to the lecture.
Although it is not the role of Ah Zi, many times the understanding and analysis methods of the role are common.
By Yi Shuihan's side, she has learned a lot, like a sponge, constantly absorbing nutrients to enrich herself.
This is also the biggest reason why she likes to stick to Yi Shuihan's side.
Yi Shuihan didn't think about this problem, and he just restored the plot arrangement according to the original work.
At this time, after Hong Dingshan proposed it, he also thought about this issue carefully.
As an unknown monk in Shaolin Temple, Xuzhu is wooden by nature and simple and honest.
He has no ideals, many times he doesn't even have ideas, he believes in Buddhism, he just wants to worship the Buddha wholeheartedly, often accompanied by the green lantern, and the observance of the rules and precepts has become a habit, deep in the bone marrow.
And such a person will never become a qualified head of the free faction.
Therefore, Wu Yazi and others wanted to change the concept of Xuzhu, but in the end they all failed.
In the end, Tianshan Tong's grandmother solved this big problem.
So, what is the difference between her method and Wu Yazi and the others?
Yi Shuihan pondered while flipping through the script.
Looking at Yi Shuihan, who had a focused expression and calm eyes, Liang Qing'er couldn't help jumping in her heart.
Sure enough, are serious men the most handsome?
Yi Shuihan didn't have the heart to pay attention to anything else at this time, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know the theory of cognitive dissonance?"
Hong Dingshan and the others shook their heads, not knowing what Yi Shuihan was doing when he suddenly talked about this?
Yi Shuihan smiled, he finally understood the reason why Tianshan Tong was able to change Xuzhu at this time.
If you want to be a good actor, you must understand some psychology, and they need to study the psychological and behavioral logic of the character to achieve better performance results.
This is the case with Yi Shuihan, before he crossed over, he had read a lot of books on psychology, including the theory of cognitive dissonance.
He thinks that this theory can be used to explain the change of Xuzhu's mentality.
"Cognitive dissonance theory refers to the existence of a pressure to make people's behavior and cognition converge, when a person's behavior is different from their previous consistent perception of the self, the inner will produce uncomfortable, unpleasant emotions, this kind of behavior is called anti-attitude behavior. In order to alleviate or dispel this negative psychological emotion, the person needs to return the behavior and cognition to the same, because the behavior has already occurred, it is difficult to change it, so we have to change our original attitude to make the cognition and behavior back to the same. Yi Shuihan clarified his thoughts little by little, and became more and more sure of his thoughts.
"Uh...... I don't understand ......," Wang Yumeng scratched his head and said with a cute face.
Hong Dingshan and Liang Qing'er were also confused, they only felt that they were in a fog when they heard it, and they didn't understand what this had to do with the changes in Xuzhu.
Yi Shuihan smiled and used a more understandable expression: "Let a person behave in a way that conflicts with his cognition, so that cognitive dissonance occurs, thereby inducing him to change his corresponding self-perception and attitude." ”
"For example, if you want to quit smoking, but when your good friend gives you a cigarette and you smoke another cigarette, your attitude towards quitting smoking and your smoking behavior are at odds, causing cognitive dissonance. At this time, your smoking behavior has happened, irreversible, and your thinking will subtly change, thinking that smoking is actually not a big deal, and then make your smoking behavior and your perception of smoking agree with you, this is the cognitive dissonance theory. Yi Shuihan explained carefully.
"Oh, I know, just like I play a game, it takes up a lot of my time to rest, I decided not to play, I can't help but play a game and feel that there is nothing wrong with playing games, it can pass the time and bring happiness, this is probably cognition...... What kind of theory is that?" Wang Yumeng nodded again and again.
"Well, that's cognitive dissonance theory as well. Yi Shuihan nodded in recognition of Wang Yumeng and said, "The little girl is good, she figured it out so quickly." ”
Hong Dingshan pondered, could it be that this theory of cognitive dissonance has anything to do with the transformation of Xuzhu's thought?
Yi Shuihan smiled and continued: "After knowing what cognitive dissonance theory is, let's analyze the changes in Xuzhu. ”
"In the play, Tianshan Tong's grandmother made a total of three attempts," Yi Shuihan pointed to a certain place in the script and said: "Look here, after Tianshan Tong's grandmother drinks blood every day and exercises, she always lights the acupoint of Xuzhu, stuffs the blood and raw flesh of birds and beasts into his abdomen, and after two hours, the food in Xuzhu's belly is digested and can't vomit, so he unlocks his acupoint." Tianshan Tong forced Xuzhu to drink blood and eat meat, which violated the precepts of Buddhism and was a typical anti-attitude behavior, and Xuzhu had a sad and painful mood because of this. ”
"But there has been no change in Xuzhu's thinking here?" Hong Dingshan asked suspiciously.
"Well, although Xuzhu has made an anti-attitude behavior, this attempt did not meet Tianshan Tong's expectations, this is because Xuzhu can find enough reasons for his violation of the precepts - I was forced.
When we can find sufficient justification for our anti-attitude behavior, we do not experience cognitive dissonance.
Xuzhu does not need to take responsibility for his transgressions, and naturally does not change his beliefs because of his forced negligent behavior.
Obviously, this confrontation ended in the defeat of Tianshan Tong's grandmother. Yi Shuihan talked eloquently and was full of energy.
"Oh, that's right!" Wang Yumeng said with a sudden realization.
Yi Shuihan continued: "Then for the second time, Tianshan Tong's grandmother herself realized that coercion was not good, so she used delicious delicacies to induce Xuzhu to take the initiative to break the precepts. If Xuzhu eats meat because of hunger at this time, this self-initiated anti-precept behavior is an anti-attitude behavior without sufficient external justification, and Xuzhu needs to take responsibility for his own actions, which may cause dissonance, and the disintegration of adherence to the precepts will shake his faith.
But Xuzhu didn't fall for it, he didn't eat any food for nine days, and Tianshan Tong's grandmother was angry and angry, so she had to force him to eat it.
Because Xuzhu insisted on not acting against the attitude, Tianshan Tong's second attempt ended in failure again. ”
"Third ......," Yi Shuihan just wanted to continue.
Wang Yumeng was already shouting: "I know, I know, the third time Tianshan Tong took the princess of Xixia and used a beauty trick, and the void bamboo couldn't hold it, so she broke the vows." ”
"I've learned to answer. Yi Shuihan laughed and said: "That's right, no one forced Xuzhu this time, Xuzhu took the initiative to act against his attitude under the influence of hormones, which finally led to his loss of control of emotions and reason."
Under the shame and remorse, Xuzhu jumped up and crashed into the ice, wanting to understand his life, but he was only the true qi of the Northern Darkness to protect his body, and he did not die.
After being reminded by Tianshan Tong's grandmother, he remembered that he committed suicide, which is also a great precept of Buddhism, and he was angry and committed another precept.
Xuzhu took the initiative to commit the 'fornication vows', and then committed suicide in shame and committed the 'killing vows', and a series of anti-attitude behaviors finally caused cognitive dissonance, and finally made Xuzhu change his Buddhist beliefs.
You look at the script here, Tianshan Tong's grandmother put chicken, duck, fish and other meat in front of him this time, and Xuzhu became self-defeating, thinking: I have become a Buddhist sinner, not only have I worshiped under other sects, but also committed the precept of murder and adultery, what kind of Buddhist disciple will I become? He picked up the chicken and ate it, but he didn't know the taste, and he was stunned and shed tears again.
From that moment on, Xuzhu really changed, and he was no longer the Buddhist disciple who believed in Buddhism and kept the precepts.
Later, although Xu Zhu still wanted to be a monk and took the initiative to return to Shaolin Temple to accept punishment, his heart had completely changed at this time, and he could no longer return to his past self.
This can be seen from the fact that when the three brothers Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xuzhu reunited, Xuzhu drank without scruples in front of the heroes......"
In this way, the reason for the change in Qingxu Bamboo can be fully explained.
Hong Dingshan and the three of them looked at Yi Shuihan dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the actions of the characters in the play had so many deep meanings, and the logic of the characters' actions was so complete.
"Papa
They all looked at Yi Shuihan with shocked faces and applauded his wonderful explanation.
Ordinary people may not even know the theory of cognitive dissonance, Yi Shuihan can actually use this theory to explain the entire change process of Xuzhu, and it is reasonable and convincing.
This is really wicked!
"I was still thinking about how you wrote such a connotative script as "Dragon Babu", but now I finally understand!" Lin Hongguo said with emotion, looking at Yi Shuihan's gaze more and more appreciative.
As the director of this TV series, Lin Hongguo naturally has a deep study of this script, but the more he researches, the more he feels the extraordinaryness of this script.
Human reason, reason, philosophy, Buddhism...... There was so much content in this script that it was hard for him to imagine that such a stunning work was written by a young man who was only twenty-one years old.
But at this time, listening to him tell the reason for the change in Xuzhu's thinking, he had to sigh and appreciate Yi Shuihan's talent.
"Akan is really powerful, when will he analyze the role of Xiao Feng for me. Wu Jun smiled heartily and patted Yi Shuihan's shoulder with a hearty smile.
"Communicate with each other, communicate with each other!" Yi Shuihan replied with a smile.
"It's good that you didn't choose to play the role of Xuzhu, otherwise what would happen to me!" Hong Dingshan said with a smile, admiring Yi Shuihan more and more in his heart.
Yi Shuihan smiled silently, this was a bit of what he said, in fact, after giving up the role of Xiao Feng, he thought about playing the role of Xuzhu.
But after hesitating for a long time, he finally chose the role of Duan Yu, who was the most suitable for him.
"Brother Akan, you are really amazing!! "Wang Yumeng screamed, looking at Yi Shuihan with admiration, only to feel that he was the most powerful person in the world.
Liang Qing'er was silent, but her eyes became brighter and brighter when she looked at Yi Shuihan......
