George Bernard Shaw was really hit.

He believed that there was a genius in this world,

For example, he himself dropped out of school at the age of 15 and joined a real estate company as a scribe, until he came into contact with Ibsen's play "Peer Gynt", and felt that "in an instant, the magic of this great poet opened my eyes".

Since then, George Bernard Shaw's theatrical work has been unstoppable.

This experience is already very close to the configuration of the cool male protagonist.

Can land time......

Lu Shi is the real cool male protagonist!

A Chinese student, without any resources, wrote a suspense novel that crushed the Sherlock Holmes series, and wrote a humanities and social science work that won the status of the founder of new historiography.

Now, Lu Shi has proved that he is also very good at political satire.

It's just outrageous, open the door to the outrageous-

Outrageous home!

George Bernard Shaw whispered, "What Mr. Lu just said is the most pungent and humorous satire I have ever come into contact with. ”

Lu Shi's joke is from "Yes! Prime Minister,

This is a typical political satire, which is famous all over the world,

In the 21st century, there is a very famous meme, "half of the British drama rules the world", which is what it is talking about.

"Yes! "Prime Minister" has many classic passages,

For example, the fourth-order theory of statecraft:

In the first stage, we declare that nothing has happened;

In the second stage, we say that something may happen, but we better wait and see what happens.

The third stage says that maybe we should act, but we can't do anything;

In the fourth stage, maybe something could have been done, but now it's too late.

……

Well, very true.

Lu Shi said: "Mr. Xiao, I just told a joke. I don't know much about drama. ”

George Bernard Shaw nodded,

Indeed, Lu Shi is just telling a joke,

But the problem is that George Bernard Shaw wrote so many satirical plays, but he didn't write the same wonderful paragraphs.

Further, all the playwrights in England combined, whether dead or alive, have ever written a paragraph of that calibre.

George Bernard Shaw bowed his head and pondered for a while, and said, "There is a saying in China...... Well...... I want to think about it...... It's like 'the whole world rides together' or something. ”

Lu Shi was speechless for a while,

"There is only one stone in the world, Cao Zijian has eight buckets, I have one bucket, and there is one bucket since ancient times. You can understand 'stone' as a unit of growth in meters, and 'bucket' as a unit of rice. ”

George Bernard Shaw's head,

"Yes, that's it. Mr. Lu, you are Cao Zijian. ”

Lu Shi is embarrassed,

It was embarrassing enough to be said to be the founder of new historiography yesterday, but now it's good that there is another "Cao Zijian".

He hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, it's a bit too much to praise me like this. ”

This negation pales.

In George Bernard Shaw's eyes, Lu Shi was modest.

He said: "Mr. Lu, if you are really not that good, then what are we playwrights? When you say it casually, it's a spicy, humorous political satire, but I've never had such a sharp stroke. Don't be modest. ”

George Bernard Shaw's eyes flashed with sincerity.

Lu Shi scratched his head,

I've been driven to the shelves and I'm going to go to London to teach politics and economics, but don't make any trouble,

The script or something, it's not that it can't be written, it's really that "Guns, Germs and Steel" is not over yet, and I don't have enough energy.

Anyone who writes a book knows how tiring it can be to open a double open.

Lu Shi said: "Mr. Xiao, I don't think you can write that kind of spicy satire, it's not your problem. ”

George Bernard Shaw sat up straight, like a student listening attentively.

gave a lecture to the writer, and Lu Shi's forehead was sweating.

His gaze wandered for a moment, locked on the stage,

At this time, the plot of "Lady Windermere's Fan" is already halfway through,

In order to prevent Mrs. Windermere from making a fool of herself, Mrs. Erling came out and admitted that the fan was her own, so that her daughter could leave secretly.

The beautiful actress who played Mrs. Windermere babbled the lines:

"Oh, my dear ......"

Lu Shi's eyes lit up and said, "That's right! Serious! ”

George Bernard Shaw was puzzled,

"Serious?"

Lu Shi looked like a master outside the world, pointed at the stage with his finger, and said: "In reality, who would speak in such a tone? ”

Speaking, Lu Shi didn't forget to give an example:

"Oh, my old fellow, I swear to the Virgin Mary, it feels terrible. Believe me, by the way, wait for those who really know about this to tell us the answer. It doesn't get much happier than that. ”

"Poof~"

George Bernard Shaw burst out laughing.

Although the lines made up on the spot by Lu Shi are suspected of being exaggerated, I have to admit that there is indeed such a problem in the current drama creation in Britain.

But this still does not solve George Bernard Shaw's doubts.

He continued: "Of course, Mr. Luk, I am aware of this problem, which is why I am advocating for the new theatre rather than what Wilde called 'art for art's sake'. But in fact, neither Wilde nor I have the same level of sarcasm as you. ”

Lu Shi was speechless,

Are writers so serious?

I can only continue to flicker.

Lu Shi said: "Mr. Xiao, what characteristics do you think political satirical dramas should have? ”

George Bernard Shaw pondered, and after a while said, "I think it should be through the plot, in a relatively serious way, to present the true face of politics...... Hmmm......"

George Bernard Shaw lowered his head, as if thinking of something.

Lu Shi put on a teachable appearance, and said step by step: "Mr. Xiao, it's very close." ”

George Bernard Shaw was inspired, and his eyes lit up,

"It's not hard to show the real face of politics through drama, and it's very easy to get people in this kind of drama. But its problem is also obvious, it is not so much a political satire as it is just an ordinary drama with political elements. ”

George Bernard Shaw stared at Lu Shi tightly,

"Mr. Lu, you must think so!"

Lu Shi suddenly realized,

"That's what I thought...... Ahem...... I mean, yes, that's what I thought. ”

George Bernard Shaw nodded and continued: "So, in the script written in that way, political satire is just embellishment, and the core is actually the struggle between people. ”

Lu Shi couldn't help but sigh,

A writer is a writer,

What George Bernard Shaw said is very close to the form of some modern political dramas.

For example, the first two seasons of "House of Cards", which has a very high payment rate (the latter is completely rotten),

Another example is the popular "Ming Dynasty 1566",

The attraction of these TV dramas is not only about political topics, but also about the struggles between people.

Lu Shi agreed: "Mr. Xiao, it is difficult to deconstruct a specific topic very sharply in a script written in that way, which is naturally contrary to irony. ”

George Bernard Shaw asked, "In what way?" ”

Lu Shi's first thought was "Yes! Prime Minister", so replied: "Unit drama." ”

After speaking, he remembered that there was no concept of unit drama in 1900, so he explained: "To put it simply, each scene of a unit drama is self-contained, a beautiful and small structure, that is, a unit, but each unit is closely related and interlocking. ”

George Bernard Shaw's eyes lit up when he looked at Lu.

Lu Shi was stared at in his heart,

"How...... What's wrong? ”

George Bernard Shaw smiled,

"Mr. Lu, you still say that you don't understand drama creation?"

Lu Shi couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Mr. Xiao, I'm already busy enough, you don't want me to ......?"

George Bernard Shaw sighed with some regret,

"Mr. Lu is going to give a guest lecture on politics and economics in London, and the time is tight and the task is heavy, so I will not make such an inappropriate request."
