In the epidemic and post-epidemic era, how to deal with drama creation? How does the theater get out of trouble? At the recent "Meet in Beijing" Olympic Cultural Festival and the 22nd "Meet in Beijing" International Arts Festival Art Forum, many artists and theater managers had a heated discussion on this issue and actively contributed ideas to help Chinese theater move towards a better future. "In the present, how can we make people feel more of the power of drama in the future? I think the Internet is an imperative platform. Tian Qinxin, president of the National Drama Theatre of China, thinks so.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on traditional theatre performances has been very large, resulting in a sharp decline in the income of traditional theatres and the difficulty of performing. In the post-epidemic era, how to deal with this dilemma in traditional theater creation and performance is also an important issue facing the majority of theater art troupes. To dedicate more theatrical art to the people, dramatists should try to iteratively upgrade the drama on the basis of protecting the original intention of the drama, so that the drama can try its best to achieve "overtaking in the corner" or "overtaking in another lane", which is nothing less than a good path.

Let traditional drama and the Internet better integrate, in the future, the audience can also feel the power of drama. Although it is said that the performance of drama in the theater can build a sense of presence, ceremony and immersion, under the epidemic, the traditional way also needs to be reformed, and many theatrical performances have been changed to online, which has also achieved good results. How to make drama better on the Internet to "change lanes and overtake", which brings many challenges to dramatists. The majority of theater workers need to accelerate their own transformation in order to better embark on the track of Internet performances.

Change ideas and concepts, and think of the world and the world. Drama in the post-epidemic era to better serve the people, to make the "cloud performance" more vivid, which requires the majority of theater workers to strengthen Internet literacy, can not stick to the rules, actors need to be more in line with the requirements of network communication in terms of lines, performances, emotions, etc., in order to attract netizens to perform, in order to attract more audiences. Otherwise, the lane change will not only not be able to overtake the car, but also the "rollover phenomenon" that the audience will not buy.

Set the stage for theatrical performances. In order to make the traditional stage one move and one style better on the Internet, the construction of the digital stage is indispensable. It is reported that the National Drama Theatre has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China Unicom and Huawei to jointly build the first 5G smart theater in China. The National Drama Theatre's new work "Red Starting Point" adopted the vr-screen method to perform, which was well received by the audience. The drama "Live Broadcast of the Founding Ceremony" adopts the method of instant shooting to make the dramatic image on the digital stage more grounded. Only when the construction of the digital stage keeps up with the development of the times can theatrical performances be made on the digital stage.

Diversified development parties have a future. Technology has brought some changes to the production and presentation of theatrical stages, and at the same time, more theater companies have seen that digital performances can change the development and future of theaters. Theater troupes everywhere should actively try to integrate drama and new technology, explore drama line staging systems, high-definition theatrical video works and drama derivative products, so that digital theaters will no longer "snub Kurama in front of the door".

Why not dedicate a good drama to the people and "change lanes and overtake"! Dramatists should jointly create a "theater" experience online and offline, so as to dedicate more theatrical art to the people and let the masses enjoy the broader path of drama.
