British writer

Three hours flew by.

At the end of the whole play, Jim is still obsessed with cutting military spending,

Humphrey was not in a hurry to object, but only praised the prime minister for his bold decision.

So, there is the last dialogue:

Humphrey: If the military spending is really cut, then the cost of the British investment in Bull will definitely be leaked to the media.

Jim: No way...

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

Jim: Don't be silly, they leak like a sieve.

Humphrey: The result can be imagined, "The Prime Minister is obsessed with Boolean, the Royal Navy pays the bill", what a headline...

Jim: Having said that, military spending can't be cut too far. Territorial defense is the first priority of the government, there are always some emergencies...Afghanistan, Boer, West Africa, Germany...I think I still think too little. That being the case, let's turn the topic over to the committee first, what do you think?

Humphrey: Yes! prime minister.

——

Music blared from the side of the stage.

The conductor waved the baton, and the fourth movement of "Ode to Joy" flowed out, which was majestic, magnificent and full of irony.

At the same time, the curtain slowly descended.

The entire Lyceum Theater was filled with a strong and pleasant atmosphere, and the discussion became louder and louder, just like a big market that accommodated tens of thousands of people.

Bernard Shaw's eyes were filled with emotion,

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

As he said that, Bernard Shaw turned his head to look at Lu Shi, as if saying "You did it".

Although he didn't say it out loud, silence speaks louder at this moment.

Lu Shi thanked: "I would also like to thank Mr. School Supervisor for perfecting the script of "Yes! Prime Minister". Just like the "Ode to Joy" just now, it is simply a stroke of genius. The music and theme are both contradictory and unified."

Bernard Shaw laughed,

"It's an honor to touch up your pen. I'm the one to thank you."

Just as he was speaking, the stage curtain opened again,

Actors take the stage.

In an instant, all the audience present stood up, their hands clapped red, and thunderous applause resounded throughout the theater.

There were shouts everywhere:

"Humphrey!"

"Humphrey!"

"Humphrey!"

...

Owen, who played Humphrey, had to bow to the surroundings again and again.

Lu Shi couldn't help being a little funny,

It seems that audiences in every era are not bad in aesthetics, and they generally like the quick-witted and clever Humphrey.

George Bernard Shaw praised in a low voice: "Lu, although you are already very famous, after today, this fame will be completely transformed. Your pseudonym——Lu will become an existence resounding in England. Maybe it won't be long before people will use you and Shakespeare for comparison."

Lu Shi opened his mouth wide,

"this……"

Bernard Shaw interrupted: "It's not comparing you to Shakespeare, it's just comparing you to Shakespeare."

Is there any difference between the two?

Lu Shi was speechless.

However, he could still understand what Shaw wanted to express.

Shakespeare is a playwright in the Renaissance period, known as "Zeus on Mount Olympus of human literature". His artistic features focus on layout, clues, and the fusion of joy and sorrow. There are also a lot of inner monologues in his lines.

Because of these pursuits of aesthetics, Shakespeare's plays are a bit out of date in terms of words.

And "Yes! The Prime Minister is just the opposite.

Lu Shi almost used pure spoken language to write his lines, and there was almost no description of the character's inner world. The audience can only penetrate into the character's heart and explore the character's motivation through the performance of the actors.

With "Yes! Even Shaw's new plays are corny compared to Prime Minister.

Bernard Shaw sighed: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be like this..."

Lu Shi did not pick up,

The main thing is that there is no way to explain it.

because of! "The Prime Minister" was born out of a unit mini-series, and the camera's clarity is much higher than that of human eyes watching the stage, so in front of the camera, the actors can close their performances and convey emotions more through expressions.

The drama is different, the performance must be released outside.

Lu Shi couldn't explain to Bernard Shaw what TV dramas are,

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

Bernard Shaw couldn't help laughing,

"You can't do it if you don't want to! The main reason is that "Yes! Prime Minister" is too new and too good, and it will definitely become a hot topic of public opinion."

It doesn't matter to Lu Shi,

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

He said: "The next time the show starts again, let's get some tickets."

Shaw shook his head,

"A few tickets are not enough. Sir Wodehouse probably needs a lot of tickets as a favor."

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

Looking at the reaction of the audience now, we know that it is undoubtedly a success, and it is not too late to send out tickets at this time.

Lu Shi stretched his waist and turned his gaze to the first floor.

"Let's go quickly."

Bernard Shaw also looked at the fanatical spectators on the first floor, nodded knowingly, and agreed: "Yes, let's go quickly to avoid being blocked in a while."

They left the box with Natsume Soseki.

When walking downstairs, the voice of a gentleman next to me came to my ears: "I came late today, and I didn't get a ticket for the first floor by accident, so I was forced to buy a box on the second floor. Unexpectedly, I felt that It's worth the price of admission."

He was talking to a lady next to him.

The lady chuckled,

"I told you a long time ago, Sir Owen will never disappoint."

As he spoke, stars appeared in his eyes.

Obviously, this lady is a big fan of Owen.

Lu Shi couldn't help laughing when he thought that Owen should be around sixty years old and could still be a woman killer.

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

The gentleman might be a little jealous of Owen, and dissatisfied: "Sir Owen is certainly great, but if you ask me, the real genius of "Yes! The Prime Minister" is the screenwriter. I feel that this screenwriter must work in Downing Street or Whitehall."

When the gentleman said that, he tensed his body,

He acquiesced that the lady would continue to flatter Owen, so he was ready to refute.

Unexpectedly, the lady agreed,

"That's right."

The gentleman was stunned for a moment, his whole body had nowhere to use his strength, and suddenly he was wilted, and said a little weakly: "I didn't pay attention to who the screenwriter is. Go out and look at the posters later."

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

The gentleman said in amazement: "What do you mean by 'Bernard Shaw'? Could it be that it was created by many people?"

The lady tilted her head and recalled for a while,

"No, it's not. I remember that Bernard Shaw's name was written very small on the poster, ranking second in the screenwriter, above Bernard Shaw, it seems to be Lu."

The gentleman was even more shocked, and subconsciously raised his voice and said, "You mean, George Bernard Shaw is just an assistant screenwriter? Who is that Lu who can overwhelm him? Hmm...that's strange, the name Lu...how can I... ...Why am I somewhat familiar with..."

Hearing this, Bernard Shaw winked at Lu Shi,

"Do you want to reveal your identity?"

Lu Shi said angrily, "Why? Go over and say, 'I'm Lu, I can sign for you'?"

Bernard Shaw laughed loudly,

"It's not impossible~ I can definitely do such a thing."
