Chapter 22 Preparation for the PartyLan Yuting looked at Yaoyao who was standing beside her, "Yaoyao, play the video and let's review it." "it is good!" Only then did Lu Li notice that there was a camera set up in the corner of the activity room, recording the entire rehearsal process. The white projection screen slowly fell down and the video began to play. Everyone from the Zhilan Drama Club sat on chairs at the back of the activity room, drinking milk tea together and looking forward. Lan Yuting had already stood up and walked to the curtain, and began to slowly analyze and guide. None of them are professional actors, but their love for acting is unquestionable. Sitting there, Lu Li felt the enthusiasm of the people around him, could see the light in their eyes, and his heart gradually began to boil. He had never acted in a play before, but listening to the discussions around him, he felt that he had learned a lot. Occasionally, Lan Yuting would ask Lu Li about his intuitive feelings as an audience member. When actors watch a play, they will subconsciously think about how the performance is performed, but the audience will not.
Through Lu Li's perspective, they can discover some problems that they cannot detect. Generally, new members joining Zhilan will be audience members for one semester and will perform on stage in the next semester. By the time Lu Li left Dahuo, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Although my body is very tired, my heart is very satisfied. When he walked downstairs, Lu Li saw Yu Yiren hugging his girlfriend reluctantly. Couples hugging each other like this are rarely seen in the boys' dormitory. Usually, they are seen in pairs in the girls' dormitory. Yu Yiren saw Lu Li passing by. He rubbed his girlfriend's back gently, lowered his head and said something, then said goodbye to his girlfriend with a smile. Lu Li looked at Yu Yiren who was following him, and joked with a smile: "Mr. Yu, you are so generous that you personally sent your girlfriend back?" Yu Yiren smiled and scratched his head. "When we were in high school, I was the one who always took her home. She said that when she went to college, she should at least take me back to the dormitory." "Tsk, tsk, tsk." Lu Li felt that he had asked this question unnecessarily, as he was caught off guard again. Yu Yiren asked curiously, "Did you go for a walk with Jiang Lianxue? I saw you ran away as soon as the get out of class was over." Lu Li shook his head and said, "I went to participate in club activities." "Ah? Didn't the Hundred Regiments Campaign just begin? You joined a club so soon? Which club?" "Zhilan?" "Fuck, which Zhilan?" "Are there other Zhilans in Jiangnan University?" "No, buddy! Why? Why can you join the Zhilan Drama Club in the second week of school?" Yu Yiren widened his eyes, not really understanding.
Lu Li started dating the most beautiful girl in Jiangnan University during the first week of school. The best club in Jiangnan University, Lu Li joined it in the second week of school. It is hard to imagine what Lu Li will do if we wait until the third week of school. Lu Li shrugged and said, "Maybe it's because I'm handsome." This time, Yu Yiren did not refute. Everyone knows what the criteria for joining the Zhilan Drama Club are. If one can successfully join the Zhilan Club, he or she may indeed be capable in some aspects. Seeing Yu Yiren's hesitant expression, Lu Li couldn't help but feel happy physically and mentally. He didn't expect that he would feel happy again so quickly. Even his steps back to the dormitory were a little lighter. Two days passed in a flash, and Jiang Lianxue was still running between the company and school. Occasionally, she would run to Lu Li's classroom to see him during the break. The students in Computer Class 1 and Class 2 have become numb to this situation. How come the iceberg school belle smiled sweeter than bubble milk tea when she saw Lu Li? Lu Li has been running back and forth between the classroom, school and dormitory these past two days. He has not neglected his studies, clubs and maintaining the father-son relationship. Wednesday's Hundred Regiments Offensive performance ended perfectly. The Zhilan Drama Club performed a short micro-comedy with a relatively short plot, which was very effective. In fact, even without performing shows, the Zhilan Drama Club is still very famous. This performance is also a debut performance for the handsome boys and beautiful girls in the club. Looking at the extremely enthusiastic atmosphere in the audience, Lu Li was puzzled. Why couldn't they find a partner? He has popularity and good looks, and it is impossible for him to be difficult to find because of a sudden brain short circuit. And Lu Li remembered that when he just joined the company, Xu Xingchen said he would take his girlfriend to buy groceries! But he soon realized that his girlfriend was probably making up such a stupid question as asking about buying lotus roots. Could it be that this Zhilan really has some metaphysics behind it? While Lu Li was thinking about these messy things, he walked towards Dahuo. Today is Thursday and the freshman party will be held tomorrow, Friday. An open-air stage has been built on the playground where the military training was originally held. In order to prevent the performance content from being leaked in advance, the rehearsal of the freshman party will not be held at the actual performance venue, but will be held on the indoor stage in the university. In comparison, this stage is much smaller, so the specific standing location still needs to be confirmed on the actual stage. Lu Li came to the top floor of the big house and looked for the backstage passage. He just came to pay attention to the performance of Zhilan Drama Club. His main purpose was to see Jiang Lianxue. With the staff certificate given to him by Senior Sister Yaoyao, he entered the backstage passage unimpeded. Busy staff hurried past him, giving instructions on the walkie-talkie. Every year, Jiangnan University's freshman party is a grand performance that is broadcast live on major video platforms, so the school attaches great importance to it. Lu Li only witnessed the efforts of the Zhilan Drama Club for the freshman party. In fact, the efforts of more staff members and the coordination of all parties were beyond his imagination and understanding. Tomorrow night will be a carnival for the teachers and students of Jiangnan University, and it will be the most grand welcome gift that Jiangnan University gives to the freshmen. As Lu Li was walking through the corridor, he first saw the seniors from the drama club. They had already changed into their costumes and looked very heroic. This time, the play that Zhilan Drama Club is preparing to perform is a historical drama, which is about the disputes between the imperial court and the underworld, as well as the love affairs between young men and women involved. Lu Li read the script. The plot was not as clichéd as the martial arts dramas from ten years ago. Instead, it was more like the popular online novels of today. The story was lighthearted and full of jokes, but it was also passionate and touching, and the handling of various emotions was just right.
Coupled with the relaxed acting skills and amazing martial arts moves of several senior students, Lu Li was already enjoying watching the practice alone. Lu Li is certain that a stage play of this level is far beyond the scope of ordinary college students and is at a level that can be performed in variety shows or sold online at theaters. He walked over with a smile. President Lan was giving some subtle reminders to the actors. As she was already a senior in college, she seldom appeared on stage, mainly leaving opportunities for young people. Seeing Lu Li coming, Lan Yuting looked over with a smile, "You're here to look for Jiang Lianxue, right? I just saw her go to the dressing room in front to change clothes, go quickly! Don't let the princess wait anxiously." Lu Li thanked her a little embarrassedly, then quickened his pace towards the locker room. He was already looking forward to seeing how beautiful Jiang Lianxue would be at the party. (End of this chapter)
