The summary and process of our variety show

After weeks of working, we have finally finished our preparation for the variety show. Some may have already forgotten what had happened. So I would like to make a summary and show everyone what our efforts went to.

As soon as the small group was arranged by Ms Sonali, we discussed for a few minutes and get to four ideas. The first one was singing a song. But no one seems good at it and interested in it. So it was cancelled a week later. The second one was acting a role play. There is no doubt that we came to the difficulties of writing a script. However a new group led by Yiping and joined with Xixian, Zhenglei, Ningchao and Wangchao. They wrote a pretty clear script, but rejected by Ms Sonali. This is because the story was lacking of content and real humour. After two and half weeks of struggle, it was cancelled.

The third one is the choral reading. This word is told by Ms Goh. Choral reading is something like you read while making some proper movements at the same time. The group led by Yangxiao searched for many songs for us to read. Finally we choose the one named daffodils.

In order to make it funny and lively, I added movements for the seven of you who were going to perform in the front. For example if the poem said tree, than everyone would make a circle above their head and pretending to be a tree. This plan got rejected by most of the performers. They thought it was too childish and were not suitable to them. On the other hand no one could come up with a better idea. So we just leave it there. After we decided to make a movie, I found that we could replace the choral reading by sidelights. And so it does. The choral reading was cancelled too. The forth idea was a cross talk. Needless to say, no one was confident in it and again it was cancelled.

After the role play got rejected, we discussed on how about acting a famous movie. The idea was quite good and we tried to choose a movie that most students could be evolved. So Yiping came out with idea of acting god father. After talking to Ms Goh, she provided another great idea. She suggested us to make a video so that we don't need to waste much time on arranging stage property when we act. So I took the idea. In order to make every one speak in the font of the audience, I planed to record every one and out them at the end of the video. You can find the video in the address below.

For the money that Dufang collected. It was partly used for buying stage properties and partly used to buy each of the actors a gift. In other words, any one who participated in this movie will receive a gift in the end. All in all, we came across all kinds of difficulties during the process. But we can finally show a unique and interesting play on the variety show.
