The Royal Publishing Office is very powerful,

It only took half a day to spread out the questionnaire.

The officials and gentlemen of the Palace of Westminster, Whitehall, and Downing Street knew its weight and discussed it a lot.

The Conservative Party is facing an enemy, and the Liberal Party is raising its arms and shouting.

for a while,

Lu Shi, questionnaire survey, London Political Economy...

It has become the focus of discussion among people in the power center.

But the queen's prediction is not wrong, no matter how turbulent the vortex is, the citizens of London don't think there is anything special about this new investigation method,

They sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and calmly accepted the 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,

Moisten 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 the questionnaire could affect the whole of London, the kind that shakes the earth and shakes the sea,

But looking at it now, that's not the case at all.

Both were devastated.

Lu Shi comforted him: "There is a saying in China, 'A good fighter has 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,

hesitate for a moment,

Solomon said, "Then, Professor Lu, what shall we do next?"

Lu Shi said: "I have taught you before. Sending out the questionnaire is only the first step. Afterwards, there will be data collection, screening, and processing. Through these data, what conclusions can be drawn, and then a written report will be formed."

The more Lu Shi talked, the more he felt like a master's or doctoral supervisor, and he was short of arranging 996 for the students.

But Solomon and Nikolic are still willing,

The two nodded again and again,

"Professor Lu, don't worry, we will live up to expectations."

Judging by their appearance, they don't need to be arranged at any time, and they will definitely 996 spontaneously.

Lu Shi showed a gratified smile and said, "Very well, I knew it was the right choice to hand over the poll to you. That being the case, I can leave with confidence."

Two students bid him farewell.

Lu Shi first went to Bernard Shaw and informed him that the script of "Roman Holiday" had been completed.

Then they picked up Owen,

The three went to the Royal Opera House together.

On the carriage, Bernard Shaw patiently flipped through the script, and at the same time praised: "Lu, your progress is rapid. The previous "Yes! Nothing wrong."

Lu Shi said: "The key lies in the content, what do you think?"

Bernard Shaw pondered for a long time, and said, "It's hard to say, really hard to say. This is the first time I've seen a script written in this way."

As he spoke, he turned to Owen beside him,

"And you?"

Owen shook his head,

"It's also the first time I've seen it."

The eyes of the two fell on the same paragraph of the script.

Lu Shi followed their line of sight, and then asked, "Are you talking about the mouth of truth?"

There is a church of Our Lady of Cosmedin in Rome, with the world-famous "Mouth of Truth" at the entrance.

The Mouth of Truth is a disk carved with the head of Triton, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea. the man's hand,

Therefore, tourists who come here for sightseeing will put their hands into their mouths to try whether their hands will be bitten.

It can be regarded as an ancient lie detector.

There is a classic bridge in the movie "Roman Holiday\

,"While filming the Mouth of Truth scene, Gregory Peck, who played reporter Joe, wanted a more playful idea, so Audrey Hepburn, who played Princess Anne, made an "accident" with his hands clamped ,

Because it was a temporary addition, of course Hepburn didn't know the truth, and she reacted instinctively when she was frightened.

This real reaction made the director very satisfied.

A classic scene in film history was born.

Lu Shi's script also wanted to reproduce this beautiful accident.

Bernard Shaw muttered: "Is it really... really feasible not to tell the actress during the rehearsal?"

He felt unreliable.

Owen pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled,

"Hehe, I was right when I commented that Professor Lu is an experiential playwright. Using this method to stimulate the performance potential of actresses may be feasible. Even I want to try it myself. "

Bernard Shaw couldn't help scratching his head,

"But the problem is that this experience is only one time."

Owen said seriously: "Don't worry, for an excellent actor, once is enough to remember. Like Ellen..."

This is to bring the topic to Bernard Shaw's good friend Ellen Terry,

Bernard Shaw hurriedly stopped: "Stop! Stop!"

The corner of Owen's mouth curled up into a successful prank, and he said, "Making accidents is a good experience. For example, why is Haydn's "Symphony No. 94 in G Major" called the 'Symphony of Surprise'?"

Haydn's Symphony of Surprise, composed in 1791,

At that time, the aristocrats in London were frequent visitors to concerts. They tasted art on the surface, but they were arty. They often fell asleep after listening to it for more than ten minutes.

Haydn was very angry when he knew it, so he composed the "Symphony of Surprise".

The second movement of the symphony was weak and did not change much, making the audience drowsy, but the orchestra suddenly played at the highest volume, imitating the sound of thunder, and shocked the dozing nobles severely.

This story has been passed down to this day and is still very famous.

Bernard Shaw understood and agreed with Owen: "You say that, it seems to be true. Moreover, I don't know if you have similar experiences. Creating shock can promote the relationship between men and women."

Owen sneered,

"Joe, you are worthy of being a lover."

Bernard Shaw glared at the other party and said, "I'm not joking with you. Be serious and talk about business."

Lu Shi, who was on the side, took over the conversation: "Mr. Chancellor is not wrong. When a person crosses the suspension bridge with fear, his heartbeat will involuntarily speed up. If at this time, there is someone he can rely on by his side, then, He would mistake the quickening of the heartbeat caused by the drawbridge for a heartbeat, and that would breed affection."

This is the drawbridge effect.

Bernard Shaw clapped his hands and raised his eyebrows at Owen provocatively,

"Look!"

Owen was too lazy to deal with bad friends, so he turned to Lu Shi and said: "Professor Lu is indeed an experiential school. Your description of the situation is very specific, as if you have experienced it yourself. Could it be that before..."

Although the question is not finished, there is no need to finish it.

Lu Shi was embarrassed, and he 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 been shortened, which has given a reasonable explanation for the rapid warming of the two people's feelings, and made the logic of the script more smooth. .”

Bernard Shaw and Owen really did not gossip about Lu Shi's emotional line,

The trio turned their attention back to the script.
