The Royal Publishing House is very helpful.
It only took half a day to roll out the questionnaire.
Officials in the Palace of Westminster, Whitehall, and Downing Street know its weight and are talking about it.
The Conservative Party is facing a formidable enemy, while the Liberal Party is cheering.
for a time,
Lu Shi, questionnaire survey, London Political Economics...
It has become the focus of discussion among people in the center of power.
But the Queen's prediction was not wrong. No matter how turbulent the whirlpool was, the citizens of London did not think there was anything special about this new investigation method.
They sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and calmly accepted the preset premise of the questionnaire——
Women's suffrage was a burning issue.
The whole process corresponds to the ancient poem:
Sneak into the night with the wind,
Moisturizes things silently.
Because of this subtle influence, citizens did not form a large-scale discussion on the questionnaire.
Solomon and Nikolic were not very satisfied with the result;
They thought that the questionnaire would affect the whole of London, shaking the earth and making waves.
But looking at it now, that's not the case at all.
Both were deeply affected.
Lu Shi consoled him: "There is a saying in China, 'Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.' Do you know the reason?"
For foreigners, this ancient saying is not difficult to understand.
Nikolic and Solomon looked at each other,
After a moment's hesitation,
Solomon said: "Then, Professor Lu, what should we do next?"
Lu Shi said: "I have taught you before. Sending questionnaires is only the first step. Later, there is recovery, screening, and processing of data. What conclusions can be drawn from these data, and then a written report will be formed."
The more Lu Shi talked, the more he felt like a master's or doctoral supervisor, who was just short of arranging 996 for his students.
But Solomon and Nikolic were still willing to do so.
The two nodded repeatedly,
"Professor Lu, don't worry, we will live up to your expectations."
Judging from their appearance, they don't need Lu Shi to arrange it, and they will definitely do 996 spontaneously.
Lu Shi showed a relieved smile and said, "Very good, I knew it was the right choice to leave the poll to you. In this case, I can leave with peace of mind."
Two students said goodbye to him.
Lu Shi first went to find George Bernard Shaw and informed him that the script for "Roman Holiday" had been completed.
Then, they picked up Owen,
The three of them went to the Royal Opera House together.
On the carriage, Bernard Shaw patiently looked through the script and praised: "Lu, you have made rapid progress. Although the previous "Yes! Prime Minister" was wonderful in content, it was unorganized in format, but now "Roman Holiday" is almost challenging. Nothing wrong.”
Lu Shi said: "The key lies in the content. What do you think?"
George Bernard Shaw pondered for a long time and said: "It's hard to say, it's really hard to say. This is the first time I've seen a script written in this way."
As he said that, he turned to Owen next to him,
"And you?"
Owen shook his head,
"This is also my first time seeing you."
Their eyes fell on the same paragraph in the script.
Lu Shi followed their gaze and asked, "Are you talking about the part about the Mouth of Truth?"
There is a Church of Our Lady of Cosmetine in Rome, with the world-famous "Mouth of Truth" at the entrance.
The Mouth of Truth is a disc engraved with the head of Triton, the son of Poseidon. The statue has a nose, eyes, and a large mouth. According to legend, it will bite anyone who does not tell the truth. That person's hand,
Therefore, tourists who come here for sightseeing will put their hands into their mouths to see if their hands will be bitten.
It can be regarded as an ancient lie detector.
There is a classic scene in the movie "Roman Holiday":
When filming the scene in the Mouth of Truth, Gregory Peck, who played reporter Joe, wanted a more fun idea, so he secretly created an "accident" with Audrey Hepburn, who played Princess Anne, getting her hand caught. ,
Because it was a temporary extra scene, Hepburn certainly didn't know the truth and was frightened into an instinctive reaction.
This real reaction made the director very satisfied.
A classic scene in film history was born.
Lu Shi's script also wanted to recreate this beautiful accident.
George Bernard Shaw muttered: "Is it really... really possible not to tell the actress during the rehearsal?"
He felt unreliable.
Owen thought for a moment and suddenly smiled,
"Haha, I previously commented that Professor Lu is an experientialist among playwrights, and he is absolutely right. It might be possible to stimulate the acting potential of actresses in this way, and even I want to try it myself. "
Bernard Shaw couldn't help scratching his head,
"But the problem is, this experience only happens once."
Owen said seriously: "Don't worry, for excellent actors, one time is enough to remember. Just like Ellen..."
This is to lead the conversation to Ellen Terry, George Bernard Shaw's sweetheart.
Bernard Shaw quickly stopped: "Stop! Stop it!"
Owen's lips curled up in a mischievous smile, and he said: "Creating accidents is a good experience. For example, Haydn's "Symphony No. 94 in G major", why is it called the 'Symphony of Surprise'?"
Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" was composed in 1791.
At that time, London's aristocrats were regulars at concerts. They appeared to have a taste for art, but in fact they were arty. They often started to fall asleep after listening for more than ten minutes.
Haydn was very angry when he found out, so he composed the "Astonishment Symphony".
The second movement of the symphony started weakly and had no changes, making the audience drowsy. However, the band suddenly played at the maximum volume, imitating the sound of thunder, which shocked the dozing nobles.
This story has been passed down to this day and is still very famous.
Bernard Shaw understood and agreed with Owen: "When you say this, it seems to be true. Moreover, I don't know if you have similar experiences. Creating fright can promote the relationship between men and women."
Owen sneered,
"Qiao, you are worthy of being a lover."
Bernard Shaw glared at the other person and said: "I'm not kidding you. Be serious and talk about business."
Lu Shi on the side took over the conversation: "What Mr. School Superintendent said is not wrong. When a person crosses the suspension bridge with fear, his heartbeat will speed up involuntarily. If at this time, there is someone beside him who can rely on, then, He will mistake the rapid heartbeat caused by the suspension bridge for a heartbeat, so he will develop feelings for it."
This is the suspension bridge effect.
Bernard Shaw clapped his hands and raised his eyebrows at Owen provocatively.
"Look!"
Owen was too lazy to talk to his bad friend, and turned to Lu Shi and said, "Professor Lu is indeed an experientialist. Your description of that situation was very specific, as if you had personally experienced it. Could it be that before..."
Although the question has not been finished, there is no need to finish the question.
Lu Shi was embarrassed and couldn't explain that he was a single dog, otherwise it would appear too deliberate.
He brought the topic back: "There is nothing wrong with Mr. School Supervisor's summary. With the experience of the Mouth of Truth, the relationship between the reporter and the princess has become closer, and the rapid warming of their relationship has been reasonably explained, making the script's logic smoother. .”
As expected, Bernard Shaw and Irving stopped gossiping about Lu Shi's relationship.
The three returned their attention to the script.
