Face tests such as line skills and concentration
"Two-Faced Idol: Again" lasted two months from rehearsal to presentation on stage. For the GNZ48 Team G members who participated in the stage for the first time, this was a big challenge. Among them, the understanding of the role, the skill of the lines and the concentration of the members all made the members sigh "not easy". Xie Leilei, who plays the heroine Liang Mengjie in the play, although she has experience in filming TV dramas, she believes that the requirements for stage dramas are higher, "the requirements for lines and input are very high, and it is often impossible to complete the performance when the state is not good." ”
In the play, Luo Hanyue and Zeng Aijia, who played the agent and Liang Mengjie's friend Shen Bing, respectively, said bluntly that the contrast between the character and himself was relatively large, and it was very painful to act at one time. Luo Hanyue is a "boy" who has always admired Liang Mengjie in the play, the character is actually inferior and empty on the outside, and the most difficult thing she laughed at is "anti-string": "I want to play myself as a boy, but many times in the face of the same thing, the idea of boys and girls is completely different, the natural reaction is not the same, and the result that the director wants is different." And Shen Bing, played by Zeng Aijia, is also a type that she herself does not like, "I could not understand such a character at first, and I felt too painful when I acted." ”
Also impressive is Yang Qingying, who played Liang Mengjie's mother in the play, she is the youngest of the members, but she played the role of mother, and was teased by her teammates as "a mother after 00". However, she is quite talented in acting, and as soon as she gets the role, she has a lot of feelings, and is the first to be praised by the director.

GNZ48 may continue to launch original stage plays
"Two-Sided Idol: Again" is the first stage play of GNZ48, but it has left a deep impression on fans in both the story and the stage presentation. When it comes to the creativity of stage plays, choreographers say that usually public performances are in the form of song and dance, which is more difficult to convey some of the themes that you want to express, while stage plays are more direct and accurate to express, so there is this adaptation. As for whether GNZ48 has plans to create more stage plays in the future, the relevant person in charge revealed that there is no plan to do large-scale stage plays for the time being, but there will be more attempts, "GNZ48 has three teams, and may continue to launch similar plays in the future, so that these three teams are involved, as an attempt." At present, many members are not exposed to theatrical performance, hoping to give them time and opportunity to exercise in this form first, and there may be dramas or musicals launched later. ”
For the stage debut of the little idols, the director also affirmed their performance potential in an interview. "The bigger challenge of this play is that the script is not written at the beginning, but it is created in parallel with one or two times. We started from acting training with the members, in the process gradually got to know them, while training to find out their more representative characteristics, and then slowly to ponder the story. For the performance of the members, the director's evaluation is "very good", "although in terms of performance, they still have a long way to go, but they are very hard, may not see much improvement in front of them for a long time, but at a point they will have a big outbreak, which will make me surprise and surprise." Slowly accumulating experience and taking to a bigger stage is not out of reach. ”
