Chapter 213 The Stipunk Principle
Shen Lang repeated the lines that he was familiar with according to the script from another time and space.
Then start analyzing the "Stupunk Principle" contained in this line.
"Is Wu Jingzhong really not interested in cars?"
"If he's not interested, there won't be any additional explanation. If he's not interested, why would he worry so much?"
"The key is that the price is not right. There are two ways to express the price being not right: either the quantity is not right or the form is not right."
"At this time, as the protagonist, Yu Zecheng certainly wouldn't believe that Stationmaster Wu suddenly obeyed the law! Right?"
Shen Lang looked at Sun Honglei.
Sun Honglei nodded repeatedly.
“So, at this time, Yu Zecheng decided to give it a try!”
Shen Lang continued to write in the gaps between the scripts: "Yeah, yeah! I thought of that, too. Tsk, this Studebaker is too flashy!"
"I told Adjutant Pang that you don't like cars!"
Sun Honglei was stunned. This... the way you designed the lines, aren't you making the words final?
Keep watching.
Wu Jingzhong smiled bitterly: "Who doesn't like cars? But he stole and sold military supplies and attacked law enforcement officers of the Bureau of Secrets. The Nanjing government will not give him a light sentence!"
Having written this, Shen Lang put down his pen and said to everyone: "Before Yu Zecheng finished speaking, Stationmaster Wu reiterated his point with a painful look on his face: Why do you speak so quickly? How could I not like cars? I just don't like this method of [ransom]!"
"You have to know that Captain Xu's crime is serious. Can't they think of other ways to redeem him?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Shen Lang is explaining the character's subtext behind the lines to everyone.
You know what, it really is a bit like that, yes, it’s the same as workplace rhetoric.
Shen Lang continued: "When Yu Zecheng heard this, he must have been overjoyed, thinking, this is the Station Master Wu I know, this is the Teacher Wu who taught me to be loyal to the Party and the country!"
"If you don't dare to ask for Studebaker, then do you dare to ask for US dollars?"
Having said that, Shen Lang picked up the pen and started writing again.
This time, everyone's interest was aroused by his subtext.
I wondered how Yu Zecheng would get Stationmaster Wu to accept the US dollars?
Shen Lang wrote: "The next day, Yu Zecheng found the stationmaster and said that they knew the crime very well, so they wanted to spend a lot of money to protect the leader Xu."
"And after I told Adjutant Pang that you didn't like the car, he suggested that US dollars would also be fine! US dollars equal to the price of the car."
“Here, Yu Zecheng nodded, emphasizing the word [dollar], with a sincere attitude!”
Seeing Shen Lang write this, even Jiang Wei laughed.
The scene in his mind emerged: Sun Honglei was wearing glasses and a Zhongshan suit and saying the two words "sincerely".
"Wu Jingzhong stared with great interest and said: They have a lot of capable people and so many US dollars!"
Shen Lang said to everyone at this time: "When he heard about the US dollar, Stationmaster Wu did not give a clear response. He just sighed. Could it be that Stationmaster Wu doesn't even want the US dollar?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Yes, what was Old Wu up to?
"Of course not!" Shen Lang said, "He is waiting for Yu Zecheng to continue to introduce the details of the transaction. Until all the worries are gone..."
Shen Lang had already remembered all the lines from this section of the original play, and continued writing:
Yu Zecheng: This Captain Xu made great contributions during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!
Wu Jingzhong: "War of Resistance? What kind of achievement did you make?"
Yu Zecheng: I was commended during the Sui-Zao Campaign, but after my leg was seriously injured, I transferred to the 94th Army and worked under Chief of Staff Shen.
"Hearing this, Station Master Wu fell silent, and Yu Zecheng quickly gave additional explanation:"
Yu Zecheng: Webmaster, do you think money is still money now? It's just paper! Only US dollars and gold bars can stand firm and make a loud sound when knocked. Think about a Studebaker...
Everyone saw him suddenly stop writing on the paper. Yao Cheng asked curiously, "What's wrong? Teacher Shen, haven't you thought about the next part yet?" Shen Lang shook his head. "At this time, Stationmaster Wu waved his hand to stop Yu Zecheng from continuing to explain. This body movement was telling Yu Zecheng, comrade, you misunderstood. I understand this principle better than you."
“I just have two questions to answer:”
Shen Lang wrote on the paper: "First, Wu Wenyu, what is your relationship with Adjutant Pang?"
"Besides, what about Adjutant Pang? Is he reliable?"
"After hearing this, Yu Zecheng understood that Stationmaster Wu had already approved the price, but was just worried about the possible worries. In this case, let's listen to Yu Zecheng's ingenious arrangements..."
New words were added to the blank space of the script. Shen Lang wrote on the paper:
Yu: You can rest assured, I have arranged everything. (Subconsciously looking behind him, then leaning forward), find a gangster to collect the money for us, and we will release the person after receiving the money. Even if these gangsters get into trouble, they are pretending to be us to collect the money.
You don't know anything. We let Captain Xu go because of his contributions in the war of resistance. It has nothing to do with anything else.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei slapped the table and said in surprise: "No soup spilled, no water leaked, the arrangement is so thorough that almost all hidden dangers have been eliminated. There are steps and explanations, and the consideration is so thorough. It would be unjust not to let Captain Xu off!"
At this point, he stared at Shen Lang and said, "Teacher Shen, your plot design is so ingenious, so ingenious!"
Shen Lang raised his head and smiled, then continued writing on the paper: "Stationmaster Wu smiled when he heard this, a satisfied smile."
Wu: Since you have thought it through, let's do it this way. We can't just kill all the anti-Japanese heroes, right?
After writing this, Shen Lang threw his pen on the table and said to everyone, "If I want to deal with you, I can have a legitimate reason. If I want to protect you, I can also have a high-sounding reason."
"The needs are different, and the reasons are naturally different."
"The leader's mouth is not only the biggest, but also can change in a thousand ways!"
"Everyone, pay attention to the last line, the small-mindedness that Stationmaster Wu secretly buried..."
"Now that you've thought it through, let's do it."
Everyone nodded and waited for Shen Lang to explain.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "See? He was just passively accepting the gift. It was all the result of Yu Zecheng's instigation. Even if the matter is exposed, Stationmaster Wu can still use [Blinded by the Villain] to get away with it."
When everyone heard this, they sighed. They didn't expect that the scene in the original script where Li Ya was beaten and Wu Jingzhong took money and let Captain Xu go had been changed by Shen Lang.
Not only is the character of Wu Jingzhong fleshed out, but Yu Zecheng also appears to be extremely wise in his battle with the old fox.
It seems that he is being used by Wu Jingzhong, but everyone knows that the effect of Yu Zecheng's "Stupunk Principle" has just begun to show.
"Wasn't Wu Jingzhong planning to arrange for Yu Zecheng to be rewarded later and to raise his military rank to lieutenant colonel?"
"Now, with this episode of Stepunk, it becomes even more logical for Wu Jingzhong to promote Yu Zecheng."
Everyone was convinced when they got here.
Sun Honglei was the first to express his opinion: "Director, I think Mr. Shen's change is feasible!"
Nonsense, his character suddenly became ten times smarter than in the original script, so of course he agreed.
Wang Gang also nodded at this time and said, "Indeed, through Steve what?"
Shen Lang: "Stipunk!"
"Yes, through this Studebaker, not only does it connect the previous and next plots, but it also makes the characters more vivid."
"Especially the character of Wu Jingzhong, who has lost his faith and ideology and only wants to make money before escaping, is vividly portrayed on paper. The key point is, to put it bluntly, this Wu Jingzhong is a whore who wants to be a saint. The multifaceted character is brought to life in an instant!"
"I agree with Mr. Shen's changes!"
"I agree too!"
"Teacher Shen's revision is very good! Director Jiang, what do you think?"
At this point, even without everyone's persuasion, Jiang Wei had already been convinced by Shen Lang's changes.
After he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, he said solemnly: "Teacher Shen, change it! I fully support you to change it!"
