Chapter 458 Cognitive Dissonance Theory
"Hey, hello, brother Shan, we haven't finished asking questions yet, can't you take away my brother Ahan?" Wang Yumeng wrinkled his little nose and said mischievously, holding Yi Shuihan's hand.

She has such a mischievous personality, loves to play and make trouble, and likes to tease people. Hong Dingshan's honest personality makes her just bully.

Of course, this was just her joke, and there was no malicious intent.

Hong Dingshan has a simple and honest personality, he doesn't care about like a little girl, he smiled bitterly and begged for mercy repeatedly.

Yi Shuihan flicked Wang Yumeng's forehead and criticized, "Don't be naughty!"

Wang Yumeng didn't dare to be presumptuous towards Yi Shuihan, so he pouted and lay down on the table. This small appearance of pretending to be wronged made Yi Shuihan and others couldn't help laughing.

Liang Qing'er was very well-behaved, she vacated her seat for Hong Dingshan so that he could communicate with Yi Shuihan better.

"There is a problem here that I don't understand. Ever since the Zhenlong chess game was cracked, many people wanted to change Xu Zhu's beliefs, such as Wu Yazi, Su Xinghe, the genius doctor Xue Muhua and other talented people, but they failed without exception. It’s over, so why can Tianshan Child Elder solve this problem?” Hong Dingshan asked suspiciously, he had been thinking about this problem for a long time but couldn’t figure it out, so he had no choice but to ask Yi Shuihan for advice.

As the screenwriter of "Dragon Babu", Yi Shuihan must have his own understanding of this issue.

Seeing that they were discussing seriously, Wang Yumeng stopped playing around and sat obediently beside Yi Shuihan to listen.

Although it is not about the character of Ah Zi, but in many cases, the understanding and analysis methods of the characters are common.

By Yi Shuihan's side, she learned a lot, like a sponge, constantly absorbing nutrients to enrich herself.

This is also the biggest reason why she likes to stick by Yi Shuihan's side.

Yi Shuihan didn't think about this issue, he just restored the plot arrangement according to the original work.

At this time, after Hong Dingshan raised it, he also thought about it carefully.

As an unknown monk in Shaolin Temple, Xu Zhu is dull by nature, simple and honest.

He has no ideals, and most of the time he doesn't even have any ideas. As a Buddhist, he just wants to worship the Buddha wholeheartedly, always with the blue lanterns, and abiding by the rules and regulations has become a habit, which is deeply rooted in his bones.

And such a person will definitely not be able to become a qualified head of the Xiaoyao faction.

That's why Wu Yazi and others wanted to change Xu Zhu's ideas, but they all ended in failure.

In the end, Tianshan Child Elder solved this big problem.

So, how is her method different from Wu Yazi and others?

Yi Shuihan flipped through the script while thinking.

Seeing Yi Shuihan with a focused expression and quiet eyes, Liang Qing'er couldn't help but feel a jump in her heart.

Sure enough, is a serious man the most handsome?

Yi Shuihan didn't have the mind to pay attention to other things at this time, he pondered for a moment and asked: "Do you know the theory of cognitive dissonance?"

Hong Dingshan and the others shook their heads, wondering why Yi Shuihan suddenly mentioned this?
Yi Shuihan smiled, he finally understood the reason why Tianshan Child Elder could change Xu Zhu.

To become an excellent actor, it is necessary to understand some psychology. They need to study the psychology and behavioral logic of the characters in order to achieve better performance effects.

Yi Shuihan was like this. Before time travel, he had read many psychology books, including the theory of cognitive dissonance.

He thinks this theory can well explain Xu Zhu's mentality changes.

"Cognitive dissonance theory refers to the existence of a kind of pressure to make people's behavior and cognition tend to be consistent. When a person's behavior diverges from his previous consistent self-cognition, he will feel uncomfortable and unpleasant in his heart. Emotions, this type of behavior is called anti-attitude behavior. In order to alleviate or remove this negative psychological emotion, the person concerned needs to make the behavior and cognition return to the same line. Since the behavior has already happened, it is difficult to change it, so we have to change ourselves To make cognition and behavior consistent." Yi Shuihan sorted out his thoughts bit by bit, and became more and more sure of his thoughts.

"Uh... I don't really understand..." Wang Yumeng scratched his head and said cutely.

Hong Dingshan and Liang Qing'er were also at a loss, they only felt that what they heard was cloudy, and they didn't understand what this had to do with Xu Zhu's changes.

Yi Shuihan smiled, and used an easier-to-understand saying: "Let a person act in a way that conflicts with his cognition, which will cause cognitive dissonance and induce him to change his corresponding self-cognition and attitude."

"It's like quitting smoking. You really want to quit your addiction, but when your good friend gives you a cigarette, you smoke another cigarette. At this time, your attitude of quitting smoking conflicts with your smoking behavior, which causes Cognitive dissonance. At this time, your smoking behavior has already occurred and is irreversible. Your thinking will change subtly, thinking that smoking is not a big deal, and then make your smoking behavior and your cognition about smoking agree. Here It's the theory of cognitive dissonance." Yi Shuihan explained carefully.

"Oh, I see, just like I play games, it takes up a lot of my time to rest, I decided not to play at first, but I couldn't help but after playing a game, I felt that there is nothing wrong with playing games, it can pass the time , bringing happiness, this is probably cognition... so what theory?" Wang Yumeng nodded repeatedly.

"Well, this is also the theory of cognitive dissonance." Yi Shuihan nodded in approval of Wang Yumeng and said, "Young girl is not bad, she figured it out so quickly."

Hong Dingshan is thoughtful, does this theory of cognitive dissonance have anything to do with the change of Xu Zhu's thoughts?
Yi Shuihan smiled and continued: "After knowing what cognitive dissonance theory is, let's analyze Xu Zhu's changes."

"In the play, Tianshan Child Elder made a total of three attempts." Yi Shuihan pointed to a certain part of the script and said, "Look here, Tianshan Child Elder always taps Xu Zhu's acupoints after drinking blood and doing exercises every day, The blood and raw meat of animals was stuffed into his stomach, after two hours, the food in Xu Zhu's belly was completely digested and he couldn't vomit it out, so he unlocked his acupoints. Tianshan Child Elder forced Xu Zhu to do the behavior of drinking blood and eating meat , this behavior violates the Buddhist precepts, it is a typical anti-attitude behavior, Xu Zhu felt sad and painful because of this."

"But Xu Zhu's thinking hasn't changed here?" Hong Dingshan asked suspiciously.

"Well, although Xu Zhu made an anti-attitude behavior, this attempt did not meet Tianshan Child Elder's expectations, this is because Xu Zhu can find enough reasons for his violation of the precepts - I was forced.

We do not experience cognitive dissonance when we can find sufficient justification for our anti-attitudinal behavior.

Xu Zhu doesn't need to take responsibility for his violation of the precepts, so naturally he won't change his belief because of his forced negligence.

Obviously, this confrontation ended with Tianshan Child Elder's defeat. "Yi Shuihan talked eloquently, with high spirits.

"Oh, that's right!" Wang Yumeng suddenly realized.

Yi Shuihan continued: "The second time, Tianshan Child Elder also realized that coercion is not enough, so she used delicious delicacies to lure Xu Zhu to take the initiative to break the precept. If Xu Zhu eats meat because of hunger, it is up to him to take the initiative." The anti-discipline behavior is an anti-attitude behavior without sufficient external reasons. Xu Zhu needs to take responsibility for his own behavior, which may cause disorder, and the disintegration of his adherence to clear rules and precepts will shake his belief.

But Xu Zhu didn't fall for the trap, he didn't eat any food for nine days, Tianshan Child Elder became furious and had to force him to eat.

Because Xu Zhu insisted on not taking any anti-attitude behavior, Tianshan Child Elder's second attempt ended in failure again. "

"The third time..." Yi Shuihan just wanted to continue.

Wang Yumeng was already yelling: "I know, I know, the third time Tianshan Child Elder kidnapped Princess Xixia and used beauty tricks, Xu Zhu couldn't control it, so he broke the precept."

"I've learned to rush to answer." Yi Shuihan laughed and said: "That's right, no one forced Xu Zhu this time, Xu Zhu took the initiative to make an anti-attitude behavior under the influence of hormones, which finally led to his emotions and reason. out of control.

Feeling ashamed and remorseful, Xu Zhu jumped up and slammed into the solid ice, wanting to understand his life, but he was protected by Beiming's true energy, so he failed to die.

After being reminded by Tianshan Child Elder, he remembered that killing himself is also a great Buddhist precept, and he broke another precept in anger.

Xu Zhu took the initiative to violate the "precept of obscenity", and then committed suicide in embarrassment and violated the "precept of killing". A series of anti-attitude behaviors finally caused cognitive dissonance, and finally made Xu Zhu change his Buddhist beliefs.

Look at the script here, Tianshan Child Elder put meat such as chicken, duck and fish in front of him again this time, Xu Zhu felt self-defeating, thinking: I have become a sinner of Buddhism, I have become a disciple of other sects, and I am also a sinner. If you violate the precepts of killing and sexual intercourse, what kind of Buddhist disciples are you?He picked up the chicken and ate it, but he didn't know its taste, and he shed tears again in a daze.

From that moment Xu Zhu really changed, he is no longer that Buddhist disciple who believes in Buddhism and keeps precepts.

Later, even though Xu Zhu wanted to become a monk again, and took the initiative to return to Shaolin Temple to accept punishment, but at this time his heart has completely changed, and he can no longer return to his past self.

This point can be seen from the reunion of the three brothers Xiao Feng, Duan Yu and Xu Zhu, and Xu Zhu's unscrupulous drinking in front of the heroes..."

In this way, the reason for the change of Qingxu Bamboo can be fully explained.

The three of Hong Dingshan stared at Yi Shuihan in astonishment, they didn't expect the actions of the characters in the play to have so much meaning and the logic of the characters' behaviors to be so complete.

"Papapa! Papapa!" Applause suddenly came from behind them. When Yi Shuihan and others looked back, Lin Hongguo, Wu Jun and others had already stood behind Yi Shuihan.

They all looked at Yi Shuihan in shock and applauded for his wonderful explanation.

Ordinary people probably don't even know the theory of cognitive dissonance, but Yi Shuihan can use this theory to explain Xu Zhu's entire change process, and it is reasonable and convincing.

This is really too monstrous!
"I was thinking about how you wrote such a connotative script of "Dragon and Ba Bu", and now I finally understand!" Lin Hongguo said with emotion, looking at Yi Shuihan with more and more admiration.

As the director of this TV series, Lin Hongguo has naturally studied the script deeply, but the more he studies, the more extraordinary he feels the script.

Humanity, emotion, philosophy, Buddhism... This script contains so much content that it is hard for him to imagine that such a shocking work was written by a young man who is only 21 years old.

But at this time, listening to him talking about the reasons for Xu Zhu's thought change, he can't help but admire Yi Shuihan's talent.

"Ah Han is really powerful, and analyze Xiao Feng's role for me anytime." Wu Jun patted Yi Shuihan on the shoulder with a hearty smile and said with a hearty smile.

"Mutual communication, mutual communication!" Yi Shuihan responded with a smile.

"It's a good thing you didn't choose to play the role of Xu Zhu, otherwise I would have nothing to do with you!" Hong Dingshan said with a smile, he admired Yi Shuihan more and more in his heart.

Yi Shuihan smiled and said nothing, this was a bit hit by him, in fact, after giving up the role of Xiao Feng, he had thought about playing the role of Xu Zhu.

But after hesitating for a long time, he finally chose the role of Duan Yu who suits him best.

"Brother Ahan, you are really amazing!!!" Wang Yumeng screamed, looking at Yi Shuihan with admiration, thinking that he is the most powerful person in the world.

Liang Qing'er remained silent, but her eyes became brighter when she looked at Yi Shuihan...
