Last night, the high-profile "Brother with Thorns" finals announced the list of 17 people in the group, and the musical talent Bai Jugang was not unexpectedly listed. Wearing glasses, Xiao Bai is full of bookishness, but his voice has a gorgeous low voice like a cloud and a moon, and the stage performance is not ordinary.
Next, Bai Jugang will enter a four-month rehearsal period to prepare for his musical debut. The Chinese original musical "Human Disqualification", produced by Dye Space, will have its world premiere at the Shanghai Grand Theatre from December 10 to 19. Bai Jugang and liu Lingfei, a powerful singer in musical theater, will jointly perform Dazai's Yezang, telling the journey of a lonely soul that is incompatible with the world to find the same kind of life.
"Ye Zang's heart has always longed to be treated kindly by others, but he finally chose to be with loneliness and live with himself in a special way," On the plane, Bai Jugang read "Human Disqualification" and felt heavy in his heart, "In the confrontation with the complex world, Dazaiji always has a gentle and clean beauty. ”
In 2013, Bai Jugang won the third place in the national finals in "Happy Male Voice", and this year he participated in "Brother With Thorns" to show his musical talent, in fact, Bai Jugang debuted over the years, has been immersed in making music, in "Brother with Thorns", he and his friends have served as arrangers for many times and have been an unsung hero for a long time. Being responsible for music is his attitude towards life, and this attitude also continues into the creation of musicals. "'Out of Place' was my first time starring in a musical, my choice to break out of my comfort zone, and on this stage, I was a pure newcomer."
At the beginning, the lights go out, and the sea of books and mountains stacks up the dangerous peaks of the soul. At the recent press conference of the musical "Human Disqualification", the male protagonists Bai Jugang and Liu Lingfei performed two first-time public lyrical songs "Falling into the Dust of the Sea" and "On the Steps" for the audience on the stage, conveying the contradictions and struggles of the protagonist Ye Zang's heart like a cry.
The words and emotions that poke at the center of the original work have music as a carrier at this moment, coupled with Bai Jugang's low-textured voice and Liu Lingfei's singing voice full of stories, which more intensely infect everyone's heart, and instantly bring the audience into the atmosphere of "human disqualification".
The original is full of delicate "inner drama", while the musical adaptation is more of a warmth and connection to the world. Also released for the first time were two male and female duet songs. Bai Jugang and Li Weiling, who plays ZhuZi, bring "The Moment of Nightfall", which depicts the sweetness of the two hearts meeting and communicating with a romantic and dreamy style, and in the song, the two people's beautiful vision and hope for the world jump in front of them. Liu Lingfei and Xu Meng, who plays Hengzi, brought "Lullaby", depicting a moving scene of two unfortunate people licking each other's wounds and embracing each other.

He is trying to use the language of music to present the true appearance of these characters to everyone. Frank said expectantly: "My wonderful relationship with China has been written since 'Human Disqualification'. I hope the audience will be able to enjoy this adventure with me! ”
Stage designer Leslie Travers and lighting designer Chen Zhuohua also sent messages about "Human Disqualification" remotely.
