Diverent fusion
Create multiple "unexpected"
A city has its own unique temperament, and the TV stations of this city are also immersed in the charm and character of the city. Based in the international metropolis Shanghai, the Oriental Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala has consistent characteristics of Shanghai-style culture for more than ten years, showing an open and inclusive attitude. Oriental TV will still focus on the three core words "Shanghai", cross-border, and mix and match", and create a unique New Year party.
What will happen if the folk orchestra, symphony orchestra, rock orchestra and Shanghai's "Internet celebrity" choir--Rainbow Choir is mixed together? What spark will the popular singer Cai Guoqing and bel canto singer Dai Yuqiang meet the "comedian" Qiao Shan who is playing rock and roll chorus "Little New Year's greetings". This is a fresh work created by the Oriental Spring Festival Gala through creative mixing and matching, which makes the audience full of expectations.
Speaking of the reason for this design, Hou Jie, director of the Spring Festival Gala of Oriental TV, said that the Spring Festival Gala is a brand program that has been cultivated for many years. Every TV station faces different audiences, and it must be a Spring Festival Gala based on local characteristics. While following the tradition, the Oriental Spring Festival Gala must innovate, adapt to the requirements of the times, and integrate current positive energy hotspots and technological elements. "This year, we have made more diverse integrations based on Shanghai style, mix and match, and cross-border." There are also some interesting partners in the
party: the newly promoted young idol Hu Yitian and the idol training program "Son of Tomorrow" Mao Buyi sang the theme song of the movie "Dream Search" "Please Remember Me"; director and actor Chen Sicheng and Yu Junjian performed together, Chen Sicheng sang "Little White Poplar", and Yu Junjian sang the theme song "Chinatown" of "Detective Chinatown"; 2018 coincides with the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, and several new generation idols such as Zheng Yecheng and Xu Weizhou will sing songs including more than 20 golden songs, paying tribute to traditions and classics with the power of youth, and presenting a tribute to the extraordinary years of reform and opening up forty years.
There will be many New Year’s films in this evening to incorporate in-depth content, adding multi-dimensional cross-border elements, including "Detective Chinatown 2", "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors", "Journey to the West: The Kingdom of the Women". In order to warm up the movie "The Nineteenth Generation of Ancestors", Guo Degang and Yue Yunpeng led many popular crosstalk actors from Deyun Club to visit the Oriental Spring Festival Gala and staged a "cross-time and space crosstalk". The main creators of "Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Women" may share warm and moving moments of family affection through the second live video interaction.
In the Oriental Spring Festival Gala, there is another special family present, which is the famous Qian family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The descendants of the Qian family have made great achievements in Chinese culture, education, science and technology, medical care, finance, etc., and have cultivated famous celebrities such as Qian Xuesen, Qian Zhongshu, Qian Wenzhong, Qian Mu, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Weichang, etc. The descendants of the Qian family will share family mottos and family tradition stories on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
is unique ingenious
stage design highlights "reunion"
The team responsible for creating the Oriental Spring Festival Gala is the behind-the-scenes trader of many large-scale evening parties in Taiwan. The chief director Hou Jie has created 4 Spring Festival Galas and 6-year New Year's Eve since 2012. He is a national first-class director and has also served as the executive director of major international events such as the Shanghai World Expo.For the 2018 Spring Festival Gala, Hou Jie hopes to present more "the Chinese people's yearning for a better life" and create a unique satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.
In order to match the local characteristics of Shanghai and highlight the Shanghai business card, the Oriental Spring Festival Gala has incorporated many local resources in Shanghai. At the opening dance of the evening, the audience will see 10 cute dolls including Mickey and Minnie from Shanghai Disneyland wearing festive traditional Chinese costumes to wish you New Year.
In terms of guest selection, in addition to attracting popular film and television singers, cross-border artists and comedians, the party also invited many celebrities from Shanghai, such as the representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the world diving champion Wu Minxia, and the well-known representative of Shanghai comedy Wang Rugang. "Empress" Sun Li may sing film and television songs in the dramas such as "Happiness is Like Flowers", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Year of Flowers Blooming" and other popular film and television songs on Oriental TV that she has appeared in recent years.
In addition, "The language program of this year's Oriental TV Spring Festival Gala is the strongest lineup in previous Spring Festival Galas. It brings together Xiao Shenyang, Song Xiaobao, Xue Jianing, Zhang Kaili, Wang Rugang, Zhai Tianlin, Bao Beier, Wensong, Lu Xin, Yuhao, etc. It can be said to be a comedy ceremony that runs through the east, west, south, and north, and stages a cross-border and cross-regional relationship." Hou Jie said. In terms of
stage, adhering to the original intention of thrift in hosting the Spring Festival Gala while creating new ideas, Oriental TV launched the 360-degree circular screen stage for the first time, with three-dimensional screen projected on all four sides, and using the technology of combining real scenes and virtuality to create a picture of "thousands of households" reunion on the spot. Setting up a central performance area in the center of the circular stage, the program team specially created a liftable stage and divided it into five or six performance areas with different styles and functions along the circular stage area, creating a changeable stage in a limited stage space.
Hou Jie introduced that from the top of the stage, the outer side is a huge circular screen stage, and the audience sits along the circular screen in the middle to form a circle. The audience seems to have become part of the stage, and the inner side is a circular water stage. This structure actually forms the layering of the large circle and small circles, and also symbolizes the concept of "small family-people-country", creating a festive atmosphere for reunion during the New Year.
It is worth mentioning that the audience's seat can rotate 360 degrees with the evening party content. That is to say, when the actor performs on the stage, the audience can actively follow the actor's movements to gain a companion immersive impression. The audience is like participating in a float parade and following the performers, with a different interactive experience.
In addition, the stage settings such as the extended platform double-sided ice screen, embedded rotary mechanical table, combined serial lifting stage, computer matrix lights and other stage settings have created a variety of visual effects for the evening party. The blessing of these stage designs and mechanical devices makes the singing and dancing programs in the evening party packaged as scene-like shows, and a song is a scene and a story.
It can be imagined that when singer Li Jian sang "Train in the Fog", the 360-degree stage turned into a central station. The audience was like a passenger, following the movement trajectory of Li Jian's crossing the circular screen diameter, the train slowly started... The whole picture was magnificent, as if it was real and illusory. The
