Design Details
- Unique Properties
- To present this visually stunning effect, the design team ingeniously integrates the performance area, installations, and structures within the venue, collectively creating a "Martian civilization" that is both epic and futuristic. Here, every audience member can feel the charm of Hua Chenyu's music and his dedication and passion for music.
- Inspiration
- This concert is the realization of a three-year promise between Hua Chenyu and his fans, as well as a heartfelt tribute to their mutual emotions. The theme of the stage design echoes Hua Chenyu's classic masterpiece "Born to Be Wild," drawing inspiration from the magnificent cities of mythological realms, evoking a sense of harmony with nature and a longing for the unknown.
- Research
- In the process of stage design, safety has always been our top priority. From the initial stages of the design concept, we completed safety technology assessments for the structure, mechanics, and other hardware to ensure that all designs meet safety standards. During the construction process, we strictly adhere to safety regulations and conduct rigorous fire safety certification for all materials used. Additionally, we continuously monitor natural weather conditions such as rain and wind in real-time and have developed corresponding emergency plans.
- Challenge
- The stage has a very high load-bearing capacity, numerous transformation effects, and the plan needs to be adjusted according to weather changes.
- Realization and Technology
- The main stage combines state-of-the-art self-developed mirrored LED screens with mechanical elements, forming a stable and poised structure imbued with infinite possibilities for transformation. On the "home stage," a blend of natural and science fiction atmospheres triggers a magical chemical reaction. The viewing angle tends towards a miniature "four-sided stage," offering a broader perspective for the audience and facilitating interactive and relaxed performances. Serving as a bridge connecting the main stage, the extension stage features a massive circular structure enveloping the entire venue, enhancing immersion and symbolizing the mutual dedication between Hua Chenyu and his fans.
- Operation and Interaction
- In terms of implementation, we have adopted a variety of innovative technologies. Firstly, we have independently developed the technology that combines mirrored LED screens with mechanical elements, allowing the stage to accommodate infinite changes and possibilities within a stable and poised structure. Secondly, we have utilized a large amount of reflective and transparent materials to seamlessly integrate the stage with the natural sunrise landscape. Additionally, by combining conventional movable platforms with unconventional moving forms and utilizing unconventional materials, we have created an extremely rich stage transformation.
- Project Duration and Location
- It is published on 02, April, 2024 and in Shandong, China.
- Specifications
- In terms of stage layout, we meticulously planned four major zones: the main stage, the "home stage," the extension stage connecting the main stage and the "home stage," and a massive circular structure enveloping the entire setup. The main stage is 106 meters wide and reaches a height of 28.5 meters, divided into 5 levels of performance space. The background consists of 10 sets of movable platform mechanisms, creating a versatile spatial effect.
