Hu Qizhi's brother successfully finished college and entered the workplace, but he graduated from high school at the age of 17, left his home in New Jersey, USA and wandered around the world.

Character experience

I dreamed of acting since I was a child

China's Got Talent Hu Qizhi was born in America. Hu Qizhi's parents are the first generation immigrants from Taiwan Province Province. Traditionally, he should graduate from college like his brother, find a stable job and be a computer engineer (just like his parents). "However, I have had strange dreams since I was a child. One is to learn Kung Fu at Shaolin Temple, and the other is to learn acting. I just don't like studying, and I can't accept boring office work. My parents have a headache, but they can't control me, "he said slowly in a slightly crude Mandarin.

1In the early 1990s, acrobatic performances and circuses flourished again, and famous teachers came forth in large numbers. Perhaps many little boys secretly practiced throwing the ball and climbing the eaves at home, dreaming that they would become martial arts masters one day. But Hu Qizhi's dream continued to burn. When he entered adulthood, he seriously considered whether he really had talent.

At the age of 22, he applied to enter the Danish performance school and officially became an acrobatic disciple. Before that, he had worked and traveled in Europe for four years and found that "performing acrobatics together in the street is more interesting and more profitable than working as a cleaner in a restaurant." His first skill, learned under the guidance of friends, is to play with fire stunts, use fire sticks and chains that can swing at high speed, and cooperate with smooth body performance, which is magical and beautiful; Entering acting school will give him a chance to systematically absorb learning, and at the same time meet heroes from all walks of life, so that he will no longer feel lonely.

"Personal Show" Debut

However, because eating, drinking and sleeping are "like husband and wife", three months later, two hot-blooded youths finally quarreled and decided to go their separate ways. Hu Qizhi, who lost his partner, decided to come to Taiwan Province Province first to "be an English teacher, save some money and think about the next step." It is also in this land where there are almost no vaudeville clubs and learning resources that he began his career of "going to the streets alone".

Hu Qizhi, who has received professional training in Europe and has rich experience in street performances, admits that the feeling of going to the streets alone is very different from that of performing in groups of two or in groups. "I have no companions around me, and I have become the only focus, but I can directly see everyone's expression. I don't know if people will just turn around and leave at a glance. If so, I am afraid that my mood will be very painful, and then I will quickly pack my things and leave in a mess. "

Hu Qizhi, who is "embarrassed to disturb others" by nature (even if he plays the stereo too loudly in the street), spent a year in Taiwan Province Province, and after a melancholy 24th birthday, he stood on the street of Ximending last weekend to find a way out for his "chaotic life". I hesitated for a long time. "I really don't know how to start, so I just started. Otherwise, you will never start! " Immersed in memories, he seems to have willfully waved away the "terror" when he debuted.

At that time, Hu Qizhi's wardrobe was as light and simple as it is now (the only difference is the lack of music), with smooth movements and no mistakes. The audience's response was very enthusiastic, which made him "relieved"; More importantly, once on the street, Hu Qizhi's "learning curve" will automatically rise rapidly. "Street performances will help me set the bottom line and direction, and I won't stick to overly exaggerated and fancy skills."

Discipline of miscellaneous technical personnel

Hu Qizhi performed the dance of crystal ball. Now, he spends/kloc-0.5 to 20 hours a week practicing the ring technique in the borrowed activity center, and arranges two jazz dances, a ballet class and a tango for himself. Dance lessons can not only help him relax his legs and train his coordination and balance ability, but also help him learn the elements of dance and enrich the movements and connotations of the performance.

In order to study the technology of rings and get out of his own style, he went to his birthplace, Montreal, Canada, for further study. He practiced diligently on weekdays and suffered a lot of "necessary pains", including spraining a toe and a finger (the wedding ring could not be worn back), slipping on the ground and being hit by an aluminum ring, and sewing 13 stitches; Another time, I hurt my shoulder and rested for 2 months, but I was still in bed with a dull pain (just to practice my secret skill-"supination", with my face facing the sky and my back facing the ground, to overcome my fear more than prone "forward rotation"); Not to mention the thick cocoon on the hand and the scar on the arm, I have to report to the rehabilitation teacher from time to time.

"Sometimes I feel tired after practicing for a long time, but so far I can't think of anything more satisfying than acrobatics." For Hu Qizhi, acrobatics is interesting, not only because it has a structure and pattern to follow, and it can surpass and improve itself step by step, but also because as long as he has a skill, he can stand on the street as he pleases without succumbing to the mainstream system.

"As a busker, it seems that I am unguarded and guided by others. In fact, they are the ones who have the strength and can create miracles. " This is Zhang Wang's evaluation of Hu Qizhi, who is one of the advocates of street art in Taiwan Province and the head of Huichuan Jutang. "He is a rare talented performer in the streets of Taiwan Province Province. He knows the importance of continuous practice better than anyone else."

Hu Qizhi, who has traveled to more than a dozen countries and chose to live in Taiwan Province Province, will be officially registered and get an ID card next year; Accompanied by his supporting Polish-Canadian wife, who met in Taiwan Province Province, he will not leave Taiwan Province Province for the time being. "My family also thinks this development is quite good. I plan to learn some business management knowledge while performing, and I want to travel around the world by boat in the future. It's not too late to go back to school when you are old, "Hu Qizhi said with a smile.

Participate in the plan

During the Spring Festival, many viewers were deeply impressed by Hu Qizhi, an American Chinese who performed the big ring stunt. He was unanimously regarded by the judges as the "most talented" player among all the contestants that day. In this recording, his crystal ball stunt also amazed the judges and audience, and Gao even rated it as "the most artistically appealing program I have ever seen in China's Got Talent, even the first season".

The elegant crystal ball performance is in sharp contrast to Hu Qizhi's masculine appearance. Under his control, the transparent crystal ball floated in the air from time to time, and rolled gently in the upper body from time to time, which made the audience hold their breath, and Yi Nengjing greatly lamented. "The crystal ball has reached his hand, as if it had a life and has been integrated with him. I felt that kind of realm and moved my eyes to be moist. " There is no doubt that the three judges unanimously gave a "yes" without hesitation.

When I was a child, I went to Shaolin Temple because I yearned for China Kung Fu. Before the age of 20, he left the United States, studied with his teachers and performed street art all over the world. Hu Qizhi emphasized that his favorite is always street art that can face the audience face to face. "This makes me enjoy it. This time, "China's Got Talent", I am not here to participate, but to enjoy it. " Hu Qizhi introduced that his program was born under the guidance of teachers, communication with friends and his own exploration. Among them, the exploration period of "magic crystal ball" is 10 year, and the history of "great ring stunt" is 5 years.

In the program "China's Got Talent" on 20 1 1, Hu Qizhi successfully boarded the stage of the Great Hall of the People, and his great ring skills surprised the audience. The highest score given by the media is 105. Yao Ming commented: "This is a very different sport from basketball, and we can feel his inner peace."

In addition, Hu Qizhi also participated in the performance of MTV "I Love rainy night flower" by Taiwan Province Women's Group S.H.E
