Design Details

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.
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.
Research: 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.
Challenge: 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.
Realization and 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.
Operation and Interaction: 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.
Project Duration and Location: 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.
Specifications: 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.
