Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Hunan TV's 2020-2021 New Year's Eve concert stage design is based on the "Watchtower Stage," "Time Stage," "Dream-chasing Stage," "Starry Stage," and the central stage. Each stage's decoration, lighting installations, and overall structure have been meticulously arranged to create a unique visual feast for the audience. This stage design not only serves its functional purposes but also preserves the beauty and integrity of the stage.
Dimensions & Packaging: The overall stage design is divided into seven main zones, with the central stage as the focal point and auxiliary stages on both sides. From left to right, they are named "Vigilant Stage," "Chronicle Stage," "Dream Pursuit Stage," and "Starry Stage." The central stage is connected to an extended platform, ending with a circular center stage. Behind the entire stage area is a curved LED screen, interspersed with scenic elements and lighting fixtures, creating a rich background effect. The central stage features a giant gyroscope structure, meticulously engineered to suspend without the need for suspension devices, supported by a central steel column, creating a visually stunning "levitating" effect. The "Vigilant Stage" is primarily composed of a large screen, with two "flying saucer" structures above and below the screen, creating a dynamic visual effect. The "Chronicle Stage" is designed in the shape of an hourglass, adorned with multiple individually controllable lights, evoking a sense of time flow. The "Dream Pursuit Stage" resembles a space station, incorporating water and fire elements for added visual appeal, with a circular CNC water curtain surrounding the stage, displaying various patterns. The "Starry Stage" is illuminated primarily by various light fixtures arranged on a light wall backdrop. Below the stage floor, a network of panels is filled with lights, enhancing the stage's vertical depth perception.

Production Technology: The central stage's gyroscope apparatus( the widest part of the structure with a diameter of up to 30 meters and the overall structure with a height reaching 25 meters) offers multiple variations: dividing at its widest section, the upper half of the gyro can be lifted nearly 3 meters high via a hydraulic cylinder at the center, accommodating performances within; its outer ring, controlled by 12 CNC hoists, can ascend and descend as a whole, supporting multiple actors for enriched stage dynamics; the central pillar of the overall structure is hollow, concealing a mechanical lift system for actor mobility. The "Vigilance Stage" hosts visual interactions and serves as a host area. The "Time Stage" features inset lighting for split usage, creating modern retro visuals to complement diverse performances. The "Dream-chasing Stage" comprises numerous modular elements on the water surface, offering varied configurations to enhance stage effects. The "Stellar Stage" caters to band performances, fostering explosive, dazzling, and energetic atmospheres. At the end of the extended stage lies a circular platform with a circular LED screen lift mechanism, surrounded by concealed lighting, creating a contrasting visual texture. Combined with on-site fireworks, pyrotechnics, lasers, and water effects, the audience is continuously treated to surprises.

Inspiration: We aim to capture all the beautiful moments on this stage, drawing inspiration from the spinning top in the movie "Inception," shaping the "giant spinning top" as the core image of the stage, presenting a design that is unique both in appearance and symbolism.
Project Duration: This project started in August 2020 in Beijing and finished in 31th December in Hainan, and used from 31th December to 1st January in Hainan.
Operation Flow: This project is the stage design for a New Year's Eve concert, primarily serving to accommodate stage performances, visual imagery, stage management, etc., to facilitate the televised and online live broadcast of the concert.
