On April 24, 2019, the musical "Letter" directed by Tong Xinyu ushered in the third week of the second round of performances in Shanghai. The performance featured 22-year-old opera singer Gong Ziqi as the lead singer in the classic role of Takeshima Tsuyoshi.
Gong Ziqi is not afraid of the pressure of the previous game to interpret the self-redemption of "dark time" across the age
It is reported that Gong Ziqi played his brother Takeshima Tsuyoshi in the play, who broke into a house to steal in order to raise tuition fees for his younger brother Takeshima Naoki, killed people by mistake, and was imprisoned for this. The older brother atones for his sins in prison, but the younger brother's zhigui has since been saddled with the identity of the "murderer's brother", and he is mentally tormented. The musical reflects the vulnerability of criminal families to social marginalization, and also shows the negative impact of criminal behavior on the psychology of original family members.
Playing a role much older than his actual age this time is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Gong Ziqi, who was born in 1997 and just turned 22 this year. He needs to study the script repeatedly and fully understand the thoughts and feelings of the characters. As an only child, Gong Ziqi wants to spend more time to experience his brother's "elder brother like a father" care for his brother, and to understand his determination to do everything for his brother. But what is more difficult for Gong Ziqi is that with the good reputation accumulated by other actors in the previous rounds of performances, it is also an invisible pressure on Gong Ziqi. Where there is a previous game, there is a contrast. With the contrast, there will naturally be a certain psychological gap in the audience's mind. Gong Ziqi chose to face all kinds of difficulties and challenges and follow his heart. In the end, under his own interpretation, he brought the audience a new Takeshima Tsuyoshi.
After walking out of "Sound into People's Hearts", there was a lot of silence retreat rehearsal just to precipitate myself
There are many popular young artists in the show business circle, and it takes a lot of effort to stand out from them. Gong Ziqi, who is still a college student, is actually lucky. With "Sound into People's Hearts", he let the audience quickly recognize this big boy with high appearance and extraordinary singing ability. Although there are not many works at present, the industry is very optimistic about him.
After the program, he got a lot of invitations to variety shows and programs, but at that time, he had already chosen to take over the musical "Letter", in order to be able to hand over a satisfactory answer sheet to the audience, and in order to be able to better precipitate himself, he silently chose to politely refuse.
Today, the musical "Letter" starring him has been well received, and Gong Ziqi's version of Takeshima Tsuyoshi has also been recognized by many people. After the performance, many netizens posted that they were amazed by Gong Ziqi, and his pure and low tone and vocal interpretation made people immersed in the fate of the plot and characters for a long time. In the climax of the musical, Gong Ziqi also handles the emotions just right, not exaggerated, not deliberate. Many audience members were touched by his sincere performance on the stage, and his strength not to accept defeat and not bow to difficulties brought him to this day, and will also help him to step onto a bigger and bigger stage.
At present, the musical "Letter" performed at the Shanghai Yunfeng Theater has received numerous praises, and Gong Ziqi also completed his last performance on the 28th. For such an actor and male singer with unlimited potential, I believe that he will definitely bring more and better works to everyone in the future, let us look forward to it together!
