Biography

Zheng Yunlong was born on 27 June 1990 in Qingdao, Shandong and graduated from the Musical Theatre Department of Beijing Dance Academy in 2009.[4]

Zheng's enthusiasm with stage performance comes from his mother, who is a Beijing Opera actress. He was inspired by the musical Cats, and decided to pursue a career in musical theater after graduation. His notable musical roles include the Chinese adaptations of Jekyll/Hyde in Jekyll & Hyde, Quixote/Cervantes in Man of La Mancha, Stacee in Rock of Ages, and Michael in Murder Ballad.[5] [6] [7] [8]

In August 2018, he won the Chinese Musical Academy Award for Best Male Actor. In November the same year, he participated in the singing competition reality show Super-Vocal and became well-known as one of the six final winners.[9] He also appeared in the singing contest show Singer 2019 as a member of the Super-Vocal finalist group.[10]

In March 2019, Zheng was selected by Disney to sing the Mandarin version of the theme song "Baby Mine" for the fantasy adventure film Dumbo.[11] In August, Zheng acted in a stage play, The Poetic Age, for the first time, and was awarded the Best New Talent in Lead Roles of the 30th Shanghai Magnolia Stage Awards.[12] And since 2019, he has performed various leading roles in stage plays, including Emperor Guangxu in Deling and Cixi (2019 co-production of Tianjin People's Art Theatre and Hong Kong Repertory Theatre), Eben Cabot in Desire Under the Elms (2021 production of Beijing People's Art Theatre), and Frankenstein/Creature in Frankenstein (Chinese adaptation of 2011 British National Theatre production).[13]

Zheng made his big screen debut in 2020, playing the painter Gong Yushan in The Chanting Willows. The movie entered Main Competition Sector of the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Goblet Award.[14] For his portrayal, Zheng won the Best New Actor in the 2021 17th Chinese American Film Festival Golden Angel Awards.[15]

Starting in September 2022, he was cast in the Shanghai Grand Theater's Chinese production of the critically acclaimed stage play Frankenstein.[16]
