Chapter 39 6. "Disgusting the genuine" where the rare is the most valuable

In the fourth year of Song Zhenzong Jingde (1004), Khitan cavalry went south and quickly advanced to Chanzhou.Under the efforts of prime ministers Kou Zhun, Bi Shi'an and others, Song Zhenzong drove himself to conquer.The people on Hebei Road panicked, so they scrambled to cross the Yellow River one after another.At that time, Ding Wei was appointed as the appeasement envoy of Yunzhou and Qizhou, Puzhou, etc., and promoted the transfer of troops and horses for inspection, which was equivalent to the highest chief executive on the front line, so it was within his scope of work for ordinary people to cross the river.Seeing more and more people gathering by the Yellow River, the boatmen suddenly went on strike, and came up with a trick to raise prices, which made the country rich.Those who could afford to pay crossed the river, while those who could not afford to pay looked eagerly at the other side of the river, looking back from time to time to see if the Liao army was chasing them.At an extremely critical juncture, Ding Wei, the chief executive of the front line, ordered that all boatmen who made money from the country be executed on the spot.They lined up on the bank of the Yellow River, beheading everyone in front of everyone.When the boatman saw that the officer was angry, he was terrified, and no one dared to do business that required money or life. All the people in the north of the Yellow River were able to cross the Yellow River and reach a safe place.

This is a story recorded in "Song History Ding Wei Biography".Ding Wei, the frontline officer, had an idea at the most critical moment and played a trick for the vast number of boatmen.Ding Wei urgently transferred many prisoners from the local death row and beheaded them for public display by the Yellow River. Of course, he did not really kill the boatman.Ding Wei had always been very flexible in his mind, well versed in the way of officialdom, and had a good understanding of acting before he became a phase and urged Song Zhenzong to enshrine Zen. The key to "confuse the fake with the real" is to do the fake show for real, to do it decently, and it would be even better if it can bleed, to achieve a shocking effect, so as to achieve the goal of the superior, and to accomplish difficult work goals in this way.The essence of confusing the real with the fake is actually only one word - cheating, deceiving in order to achieve a certain purpose.When the boatmen saw that the imperial court had really killed people on the bank of the Yellow River, people were afraid of death. When their lives were at stake, they could naturally understand the importance of earning money or saving their lives.

Regardless of the circumstances, whether the acting is realistic or the actors bleed, the key is to have a deep understanding of the psychology of the audience, and to be proficient in their psychology. You must understand why you are acting like this, and what is the purpose of acting.Rendering through props to achieve the desired effect.Obviously Ding Wei succeeded. In this alone, he is a qualified actor, so he is a qualified official.The trick of confusing the real with the fake is not only frequently used by leaders, it can also be used to deal with superiors, and it will produce a magical effect.

Song Huizong believed in Taoism, also known as the "Emperor of Taoism".Whenever a leader's hobbies are made public, and those who like them flock to them, it will be a mortal danger. Sooner or later, they will be defeated by it.At that time, there were many people who voted for Huizong's favor. Taoist Master Lin Lingsu was the most successful one among the many teams seeking to become an official under the banner of Taoism. Is their boss. "Family History Old News" records that Lin Lingsu was summoned by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and when he came up, he said to the emperor, I see that your majesty is so familiar.One sentence fell on Song Huizong's heart. Imagine two people who have never met before, and they say they are familiar, what would you think?Some people say that in life, that is a way of striking up a conversation, and the latter is what he wants to say.Song Huizong also replied decently, I see you are familiar.This sentence hit the psychological trap set by Lin Lingsu, so he said that I know what everyone is in the sky.As soon as Huizong heard this, he became excited, so let's talk about it.Lin Lingsu said that Huizong was the emperor of Shenxiao, and he was the official of the gods who served the emperor. He also said that Cai Jing was Zuoyuan Xianbo, Fan Zhixu was the classics of Dongtai, Wang Xiaodi was the authentic history of Xitai, and so on.Song Huizong Long Yan was very happy, no wonder the monarchs and ministers get along happily, dare to say that we are all colleagues in the sky.Lin Lingsu quickly became popular after gaining Song Huizong's trust. From time to time, it was recorded that Song Huizong gave Lin Daochang money to give public lectures, which amounted to as much as one million guan at a time.No matter how rich the Song Dynasty was, it couldn't be wasted like this.In order to keep Jinshan, the successful Lin Lingsu had no choice but to keep cheating, so he tried to confuse the real with the fake for countless times.Once, Song Huizong went to Lin Lingsu's mansion as a guest, just in time for Master Lin to treat people, including the blind, dumb, deaf, lame and so on.Huizong watched from the side, while Lin Lingsu worked on it.Master Lin burned the charm and soaked it in the water, took a sip of water and sprayed it, and a miraculous scene happened, and all the disabled people were healed.The lame can walk, the dumb can talk, and the blind can see. Everyone burst into cheers and burst into tears of gratitude. We have suffered from this disease for 20 to 30 years. Fortunately, Master Lin cured the disease.Song Huizong was very surprised when he saw it, and his trust in Master Lin doubled.

Obviously, in this story, those suffering from serious diseases are Lin Lingsu's nurses, a group of well-trained professional actors.As the so-called authorities are obsessed, outsiders can see through Lin Lingsu's tricks at a glance, and the leader of the evil leader believes in him deeply, as if he is crazy.Lin Lingsu also took advantage of his psychological desire, and constantly staged scenes of "confusing the real with the fake", which deeply captured Song Huizong's heart.Of course, it is very precious to perform this kind of trick once or twice, even if you often play a fool, you will see the flaws.Therefore, "disgusting the real with the fake" is an acting trick that is forced or used to achieve a certain purpose. It is rare once or twice, and it should not be too much.Later, Lin Lingsu often staged various magical dramas, but was seen through by Song Huizong and kicked out of the court.

Intimidation and intimidation, pretending to be confused, being moody, being considerate of subordinates, taking action late, and misleading the real are the typical acting skills of many officials, and there are many other acting skills that will not be listed one by one.It is true that the acting skills of the officials mentioned above are relatively scattered, regardless of the classification or content, they are relatively messy and unsystematic, and are for reference only. Is there any official who uses all the acting skills flexibly?The answer is of course yes, Fan Zhongyan needs to play at this time.
