The school is very supportive of the drama club run by YSU students and provides rehearsal and performance venues.
The reason why the school supports it is because of its tradition, which can even be traced back to the founding of the school. Secondly, it is the current policy support. The higher authorities support it, but it is unjustifiable that the school does not support it.
After the afternoon class ended, Jiang Yulou followed Wei Guoping to a small theater where the drama club was located.
He originally didn't want to come, but Wei Guoping insisted on letting him go, saying that he wanted to see the people in Yingda's drama club admiring him.
Jiang Yulou thought about the scene for a while...it seemed good, so he stopped insisting and followed it.
After entering the small theater from the main entrance, Jiang Yulou can overlook the entire small theater from top to bottom.
The stage of the small theater is designed as a rectangular platform of moderate height, protruding from the auditorium, so that every corner can be clearly seen by the audience. The background of the stage is a huge curtain, which is black and without any decoration, providing a deep and mysterious background for the plot of the play.
Wei Guoping said on the side that there is a movable partition in the center of the stage. When it is pushed aside, it can reveal the scenery hidden behind it.
As for the set props, they have all been passed down over the years. These detailed props add an air of authenticity and life to the play.
At this time, a wonderful drama performance was going on on the stage.
Through the scenery and lines, Jiang Yulou could tell that they were performing "Teahouse" by Mr. Lao She, which is quite a classic play.
He doesn't know much about acting, but he still has some appreciation. His classmates in the drama club were not talented in acting, and even though they worked hard, they still made him feel like he was making a fool of himself.
And the lighting design of the stage is also relatively rough.
The only thing that can be commended is that the soft lighting makes every detail on the stage clearly visible, while creating a subtle atmosphere that allows the audience to ignore less obvious flaws.
According to the experience taught by Teacher Sun, stage lighting is very important in drama performances.
Different lighting effects, such as spotlights, diffusers, and background lights, can be used to emphasize different scenes and characters and help tell the story.
There are also sound effects, which are also part of the stage design.
Sound effects can add depth and realism to a show, such as music, sound effects, and dialogue. The sound equipment is hidden behind the stage and does not interfere with the audience's sight.
In the dark aisle of the auditorium, Wei Guoping whispered: "Let's find a place to sit down and watch."
Jiang Yulou nodded, and the two of them tried not to make any noise so as not to disturb the performance of the drama club members.
The experience of sitting in the front row is obviously better, and the expressions of the drama actors on the stage are even more vivid.
He also noticed that there were two doors on both sides of the stage, which were the passages for the actors to enter and exit the stage. If it is a mature drama company, these two doors are usually cleverly designed to be part of a certain scene in the play, such as an ancient door or a wall.
Soon, the almost half-an-hour performance was over.
Wei Guoping clapped excitedly: "How about it, Yulou? Our drama club's performance wasn't bad."
Although he didn't get along with some people in the drama club, it didn't stop him from being proud of being a member of the drama club.
Jiang Yulou applauded and praised: "It's great."
The entire stage design is quite satisfactory. They are students after all, not a professional drama troupe. To be able to achieve this level is already outstanding.
It can be seen that Yingda's design for this play is still somewhat innovative. Under the premise of high standards, it also retains enough space for the actors to freely interpret their roles.
On the stage, the actors of the drama club took their final call as usual. They had noticed Jiang Yulou and Wei Guoping for a long time, but they had been performing before and could not pay attention to them.
After the curtain call, several people from the drama club came over having fun.
"Old Wei, you are late today."
"Is this classmate next to you your good friend?"
Wei Guoping said with a smile: "I have a lot of study tasks recently, and I can't compare with you." Then, he put his arm around Jiang Yulou's shoulders and said: "This is my good buddy, good roommate, and also a famous figure in our school."
"Damn it, is this guy Jiang Yulou?"
"No way, the great poet and writer actually came to our little theater!"
Jiang Yulou touched his nose and said with a smile: "What a great writer or poet, I am just an ordinary student of Yan University, no different from everyone else."
"Everyone can call me by my name, or Lao Jiang."
People in the drama club originally thought that Jiang Yulou would be arrogant and difficult to get along with because of his famous reputation. They didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, and they couldn't help but feel good about him.
"Okay, classmate Jiang, nice to meet you, my name is Li Zhihao."
"Classmate Jiang, my name is Zhao Weiguo."
"I am Zhang Yuanchao."
"My name is……"
Jiang Yulou smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one. He glanced at Wei Guoping. Everyone was so enthusiastic and easy to get along with. Why did Wei Guoping still say it was difficult to get along with them?
It must be his own problem.
"Zhihao, Yuanchao, what are you doing together?"
A local Yanjing accent came from the other side of the stage. It was Yingda who was watching the drama club members backstage but did not come back after their performance. When he came out, he found that they were all gathered together, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Yingda, look who's coming!" Li Zhihao turned around and said excitedly.
Yingda raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly: "Oh, is it some big shot who came to our little drama club?"
After he passed through the crowd, he saw Jiang Yulou and Wei Guoping being surrounded.
He didn't know Jiang Yulou, but Wei Guoping was from their drama club, so it was impossible not to know him.
"Wei Guoping, why are you here?" Yingda frowned.
Wei Guoping sneered: "What a joke, I'm from the drama club, why can't I come?"
"Didn't someone say that he was going to bring over a drama script that no one has ever seen before? If he can't get it out, he will never join the drama club again. What, you want to regret it?" Ying replied not annoyed, but He asked slowly.
Wei Guoping knew he would ask this question, so he raised the script in his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, look what is this?"
"You actually found one?" Yingda asked in disbelief.
Wei Guoping proudly showed off: "I asked Yulou to write it. Don't you look down on Yulou? Let me tell you, Yulou wrote this brand-new script in just a few months. The story is very novel and absolutely It’s something you haven’t seen before.”
"Jiang Yulou?!"
Yingda's eyes quickly moved to Jiang Yulou. It turned out that this handsome male classmate was Jiang Yulou!
