Stage Design: Focusing on the concept of "planet"
In 2021, China's aerospace attracted worldwide attention, and the space theme naturally became the best choice for Jiangsu TV's 2022 New Year's Eve concert. This year's stage design focuses on the concept of "planet" , reflecting the grand blueprint of struggle and development, transmitting cosmic energy to the party site, and also displaying energy to the universe and the future. The most eye-catching visual device on the scene is a huge hemispherical projection screen above the stage. It serves as a visual carrier, presenting rich changes and echoing the ground screen.
The hemispherical sky curtain in the center of the stage blends light, shadow, patterns, and materials, bringing the audience an extraordinary sense of starry sky, cosmic and futuristic sense.
Overall stage visual creativity is responsible for Tang Yan, and its subsidiary Changsha Hanshuang Vision Culture Communication Co., Ltd. is responsible for the refinement of the stage design, and Hunan Space Wapu Engine Studio is responsible for the rehearsal of the stage.
The main stage project of the evening party is constructed by Nanjing Vision Engineering Co., Ltd. . The main stage of is composed of a basic stage with a total length of 28 meters and a circular stage with a diameter of 12 meters. The total height is 2.4 meters. The basic stage is inlaid with LED mirror floor screen. The outer ring of the stage is equipped with a fan-shaped lifting stage with a diameter of 16.8 meters. On the outside of the lifting platform are two lighting platforms with a diameter of 18 meters and 26 meters. In the middle of the lighting platform is the in-field audience area.
stage spherical sky curtain structure is produced by Guangzhou Huachuang Lisheng Technology Co., Ltd., and Chuangyuan Culture (Guangzhou Hengqin) Co., Ltd. led by Director Wu Rishen is responsible for the construction and hanging. sphere is 27.4 meters in diameter and 9 meters high. It is made up of 55 irregular borders on the top layer and 270 hexagonal structures.
Lighting design: centered on the sky, create concepts such as universe, star rings, etc.
This year's dance design is a concept of a planet, and the lighting mainly wants to create the universe, star rings, etc. to cater to the concept of stage design. The three-work team led by Dong Jiang, the artistic director of lighting, lighting design is centered on the hemispherical sky curtain. A lamp post inlaid with strobe lights is set at the axis of the sky curtain. It is programmed to create a dazzling light that penetrates the sky curtain, creating a sense of sparkling atmosphere of diamonds. Beijing Dongyu Huaxing Culture and Art Co., Ltd. is responsible for lighting engineering projects.
There are 32 CNC straight beam lamp stands around the sphere, and 8 lifting lamp posts on the outside of the stage, which present different morphological spaces through different combinations.
The use of different lighting combinations requires the presentation of four and a half hours and dozens of shows. This is the difficulty of lighting design at Jiangsu Satellite TV's New Year's Eve concert. Moreover, this time the lighting and the projection of the ball screen cooperate with each other, and the control requirements for lights are higher.
In addition, this year's New Year's Eve used the ue4 engine - a technology in "2060" to give lights to the virtual stage. The lighting effects in several virtual stages are restored one by one according to the on-site lights.

db ArrayCalc simulation map
New Year's Eve concert stage is designed with 360° stage, bringing many challenges to the construction of the live sound reinforcement system. The main sound reinforcement not only needs to meet the precise sound energy coverage of the audience area, but also minimize the impact of the main sound reinforcement system on the stage sound reinforcement system, but also consider the VIP area that has been fully upgraded this year's evening party. The audio team used db ArrayCalc sound field simulation software to simulate the on-site audio coverage needs and calculate the sound pressure level distribution. Through simulation, you can see the sound field coverage of a single speaker or a single-line array, as well as the superposition between multiple sound sources, and accurately calculate the speaker intersection angle, weight and other data. By constantly adjusting the position of the speaker system and performing multiple simulations in the model, the speaker installation is ensured to be accurate and safe.
In order to provide first-class sound experience in this multi-functional large performance venue, the technical team specially designed a sound reinforcement system solution for this year's New Year's Eve concert, using 8 sets of KSL as main speakers to provide full-band directional control for the venue - each set of main expansion has 8 KSL full-frequency line array speakers, and according to the coverage angle required by the audience in the venue, 4 combinations of narrow angle KSL8 and wide angle KSL12 are selected for accurate coverage. Among them, the four main expansions are surrounded by the main stage in the middle, covering the audience area at the entrances of the stage on both sides of the short axis of the main stage; while the other four main expansions are covered by the left and right sides of the long axis, facing the audience area. The main expansion system has enabled db AP technology to further strengthen the control of sound direction, reduce harmful acoustic reflections of , improve language clarity, and achieve consistency of the whole scene tone. The
system is equipped with a total of 18 SL-SUB ultra-low frequency speakers. They are divided into three groups, which are arranged in the form of a ground low frequency array in an equal distance. Two groups are placed in the center of the ground on the side of the main stage long axis, and one group is arranged in front of the T-shaped stage entrance, providing shocking and infectious low-frequency energy for the entire venue.
Due to the special nature of the stage design of this year's New Year's Eve Gala, the sound reinforcement system design in this area adopts the combination of 6 V8s and two SL-SUBs. The auxiliary side fill is responsible by two V10Ps and 4 V8s. In addition, the main stage is also arranged along the front edge of the stage, with a total of 16 E8s covering the VIP audience around the stage. The purpose of this setting is to replenish the VIP area in all aspects, strive to make the sound perfectly present, so that the front row audience can more intuitively feel the infectiousness of the music on the stage.

Each live broadcast, the tuning team will select the room on site as the mixing room and use professional acoustic screen for simple sound absorption processing. In order to better deal with the standing wave and coupled problems, this year, the world's top Trinnov acoustic schooling system was used on site. Through the 3D Mic diaphragm three-dimensional acoustic microphone test, the acoustic characteristics of the entire room were fully collected, and the monitoring C position was accurately positioned. The room acoustic parameters such as the overall frequency response curve, direct audio response curve, full-band phase, group delay and pulse curve of the room were analyzed. Finally, after algorithm adjustment, each acoustic parameter was corrected to restore the studio-level production environment and provide standard monitoring conditions for on-site mixers.
Trinnov sound school inspection
This year, the broadcast audio production chose to use the 5.1 surround sound format. At the production level of , Jiangsu Taiwan has always adhered to the principle of "professional people do professional things" and made full use of its advantageous resources. music mixing system is responsible for mixing all singing parts and sending out stereo track segment signals to the final mixing system; final mixing system is responsible for balancing and up-changing various materials such as singing, dialogue, sound effects, VCR, environmental information, and reasonably selecting the effect plug-ins of the mixer and peripheral equipment, striving to restore transparent vocals, CD-quality music, and real environment.In terms of monitoring source settings, the final mixing system is equipped with native 5.1, dbE decoding, original sound ST, downmix ST and other signals. By constantly comparing monitoring during rehearsal, the accuracy of production-level operations is ensured.
Starting from the 2016 New Year's Eve concert, Jiangsu Taiwan's audio team has continuously applied new sound production modes and continuously produced formats such as 5.1 surround sound, 5.1.4 3D sound, headphone virtual 3D sound, etc., providing high-quality auditory enjoyment for different audience groups such as standard definition, high-definition, 4K ultra-high definition, mobile clients, etc., and standing at the forefront of the current TV mixing process.
