Three hours flew by.

At the end of the whole play, Jim still thinks about cutting military spending,

Humphrey did not rush to oppose it, but praised the Prime Minister's decision as very bold.

So, there is this last conversation:

Humphrey: If there is a real cut in military spending, then the cost of British investment in Boer will definitely be leaked to the media.

Jim: Really......

Humphrey: Unless you have complete trust in the secrecy of the naval system.

Jim: Don't be stupid, they're leaking like a sieve.

Humphrey: Then you can imagine the result, what a powerful headline for "The Prime Minister is Obsessed with Bull, the Royal Navy Pays the Bill......

Jim: Then again, you can't cut military spending too much. Territorial defence is the first priority of the Government, and there are always emergencies...... Afghanistan, Boer, West Africa, Germany...... I think I've thought about it a little too little. In that case, let's put the issue to the committee first, what do you think?

Humphrey: Yes! Prime minister.

——

Music played from the side of the stage.

The conductor wields his baton, and the fourth movement of "Ode to Joy" flows, majestic, magnificent, yet ironic.

At the same time, the curtain slowly descends.

The entire Lyceum Theatre is filled with a strong and pleasant atmosphere, and the discussion is getting louder and louder, just like a big market that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

George Bernard Shaw's eyes were full of emotion,

"I've never seen that happen. Shakespeare can't do it, Chekov can't do it, Wilde can't do it, I can't do it......"

As he spoke, George Bernard Shaw turned his head to look at Lu, as if to say, "You did it."

Although it was not spoken, silence was better than sound at this time.

Lu Shi thanked: "I also want to thank Mr. Supervisor for his contribution to "Yes! The perfection of the script of "The Prime Minister". For example, the "Ode to Joy" just now is simply a stroke of genius, and the music and theme are both contradictory and unified. ”

George Bernard Shaw laughed,

"It's my pleasure to give you a pen. I'm going to thank you. ”

As he spoke, the curtain of the stage opened again,

The actors took the stage for a curtain call.

In an instant, all the audience present stood up and slapped red, making thunderous applause resound through the theater.

Shouts abound:

"Humphrey!"

"Humphrey!"

"Humphrey!"

……

Owen, who played Humphrey, had to bow around again and again.

Lu Shi couldn't help but be a little funny,

It seems that the audience of each era is very different in aesthetics, and generally likes Humphrey, who is quick and intelligent.

George Bernard Shaw praised in a low voice: "Lu, although you are already very famous, after today, this fame will be reborn. Your pen name, Lu, will become a well-known presence in England, and it may not be long before people will compare you to Shakespeare. ”

Lu Shi opened his mouth wide,

"This ......"

George Bernard Shaw interrupted: "Not to compare you to Shakespeare, but to compare you to Shakespeare." ”

Is there any difference between the two?

Lu Shi was speechless.

Still, he could understand what George Bernard Shaw was trying to express.

Shakespeare is a Renaissance playwright, known as "Zeus on the Olympus of human literature", the artistic characteristics focus on layout, clues, the integration of joy and sorrow, and there are a large number of inner monologues in the lines,

Because of these aesthetic pursuits, Shakespeare's plays are somewhat condescending in terms of diction.

And "Yes! Prime Minister" is the opposite,

Lu Shi almost writes his lines in pure spoken language, and there is almost no description of the character's inner world, and the audience can only go deep into the character's heart and explore the character's motivation through the actor's performance.

With Yes! The Prime Minister", even George Bernard Shaw's new drama has become an old-fashioned guy.

George Bernard Shaw sighed: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I couldn't ...... like this"

There is no stubble when landing,

The main thing is that I can't explain.

Because "Yes! The Prime Minister was born out of the unit miniseries, and the clarity of the camera is much higher than that of the human eye watching the stage, so in front of the camera, the actors can take the performance and convey emotions more through expressions,

Drama is different, the performance must be shown outside.

Lu Shi couldn't explain to George Bernard Shaw what a TV series was.

He smiled and said, "Shakespeare is the pride of England, Mr. Chancellor, and I don't want to be roasted on the fire." ”

George Bernard Shaw couldn't help laughing,

"If you don't want to, you can't! The main one is "Yes! "Prime Minister" is too new and too good, and it will definitely become a hot spot in public opinion. ”

It doesn't matter when it's land,

Now that I've decided to write a script, I don't mind being more famous and making money.

"The next time we do the show, we'll get a few tickets," he said. ”

George Bernard Shaw shook his head,

"A few are not enough, Sir Wardhouse may need a lot of votes for favors."

They didn't prepare tickets for Wardhouse and the others this time because "Yes! Prime Minister" appeared on the stage for the first time, and it is difficult to say whether it will be successful or not.

Looking at the audience's reaction now, you know that it is undoubtedly a success, and it is not too late to send tickets.

Lu Shi stretched his waist and cast his eyes on the first floor,

"Let's get out of here."

George Bernard Shaw also looked at the enthusiastic audience on the first floor, nodded knowingly, and agreed: "Yes, it's better to leave quickly, so as to save yourself being blocked for a while." ”

They left the box with Natsume Soseki.

When I walked downstairs, the voice of a gentleman next to me came into my ears: "I came late today, I didn't buy a ticket for the first floor by mistake, and I was forced to buy a box on the second floor. ”

He said it to a noble lady beside him.

The noblewoman chuckled,

"I've told you a long time ago that Sir Owen will not disappoint."

As he spoke, stars appeared in his eyes.

Obviously, this lady is an avid fan of Owen.

Lu Shi couldn't help but laugh when he thought that Owen should be about sixty years old and could still act as a woman killer.

He slowed down and listened to the conversation between the two.

The gentleman may have eaten Owen's vinegar a little, and said dissatisfiedly: "Sir Owen is certainly powerful, but if I want to say, "Yes! The real power of "The Prime Minister" is the screenwriter. I have a feeling that this screenwriter must be working in Downing Street or Whitehall. ”

While the gentleman said this, his body tensed,

He tacitly assumed that the noblewoman would continue to tout Owen, so he was ready to refute it.

Unexpectedly, the lady agreed,

"That's right."

The gentleman was stunned for a moment, he had nowhere to use all his strength, he suddenly wilted, and said a little weakly: "I didn't pay attention to who the screenwriter was, I will go out to look at the poster in a while." ”

The lady said, "I remember George Bernard Shaw." ”

The gentleman was stunned and said, "What does it mean to 'have George Bernard Shaw', is it a creation by many people?" ”

The noble lady tilted her head and remembered for a while,

"No, it's not. I remember that George Bernard Shaw's name was written very small on the poster, in second place among the screenwriters, and above George Bernard Shaw, it seemed to be Lu. ”

The gentleman was even more shocked, and unconsciously raised his voice and said, "You mean to say that George Bernard Shaw is just an associate screenwriter?" can crush him, where is that Lu sacred? Not...... Strange, the name Lu...... How do I ...... How do I have some familiarity......"

Hearing this, George Bernard Shaw squeezed his eyes at Lu Shi,

"Do you want to identify yourself?"

Lu Shi said angrily: "What are you doing?" Walk over and say, 'I'm Lu, can I sign for you'? ”

George Bernard Shaw laughed loudly,

"It's not impossible~ I'm sure I can do this kind of thing."
