In August, the concert map lit up across five cities with the follow‑spots from the FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow‑spot system. Chen Chusheng's wilderness exploration, Xue Zhiqian's realm of beasts, Xu Liang's time folding, Zhou Shen's heartfelt homecoming, and Supper Moment's 20th‑anniversary finale – five distinct performances, all illuminated by the same beam of light.

 

FINE ART's FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow‑spot system eliminates the traditional challenge of high‑altitude follow‑spot operation, allowing lighting operators to control multiple follow‑spots simultaneously from the ground. Core advantages include: ultra‑long‑distance fiber optic cabling with low‑latency real‑time transmission; real‑time dual positioning with both tracking cursor and target cursor; support for up to 12 devices tracking the same target simultaneously; support for ART‑Net connectivity with mainstream lighting consoles such as TEKMAND and MA for coordinated control; a multi‑height mode for flexible spot height adjustment on stepped stages; and compatibility with other brands of moving head lights when paired with the FINE iSPOT EYE.

 

Chen Chusheng "Realm of Desolation" Tour – Hefei Stop

On August 15, 2026, Chen Chusheng's "Realm of Desolation" tour took the stage at the Hefei Sports Center Main Stadium. As night fell and the lights came up, Chen opened with Golden Age, followed by the freedom of Graffiti Forest, the fatefulness of Deer Turn, and the edge of Wilderness King.

 

The FINE iSPOT PILOT's ultra‑long‑distance fiber optic cabling and low‑latency transmission allowed the lighting operator to precisely capture Chen Chusheng's every movement and emotional outburst across the vast stadium from the ground – from the intensity of Golden Age to the fatalism of Deer Turn, the follow‑spot remained perfectly in sync.

 

Supper Moment "Thank You World" Tour – Dongguan Stop

On August 15, 2026, Supper Moment's "Thank You World" tour concluded at the Dongguan Bank Basketball Center. The year 2026 marked the band's 20th anniversary, and the performance, from the opening of Endless to the finale of Last Dinner, brought the tour to a close.

 

The FINE iSPOT PILOT's multi‑device independent storage of color and position presets allowed the lighting operator to pre‑program a dedicated light scheme for this final night. As Soap Bubbles played, bubbles drifted down from above the stage, and the follow‑spot, combined with the flashlights of the audience, turned the entire venue into a flowing river of stars. The ultra‑low‑latency tracking precisely locked onto lead singer Sunny's every emotional moment during Song of Happiness as his voice choked with emotion, witnessing twenty years of musical echoes and the beginning of a new journey.

 

Xue Zhiqian "King of Beasts" Tour – Hangzhou Stop

From August 7 to 16, 2026, Xue Zhiqian's "King of Beasts" tour performed five consecutive shows at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium (the "Big Lotus"), setting a record for the most consecutive concerts in Hangzhou this year.

 

The FINE iSPOT PILOT's multi‑device control and 12‑unit same‑target tracking allowed the lighting operator to coordinate multiple follow‑spots from the ground, precisely locking onto Xue Zhiqian's every step across the grand "Big Lotus" stage – whether in the tender gaze of a solo or the rapid movements of dance interactions, the follow‑spot followed with unwavering precision.

 

Xu Liang "Time Folding" Tour – Tianjin Stop

From August 7 to 9, 2026, Xu Liang's "Time Folding" tour performed three consecutive shows at the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium. The production featured an immersive, top‑tier stage design, folding time with music and connecting youth with the present.

 

The FINE iSPOT PILOT's real‑time dual positioning with both tracking cursor and target cursor maintained millimeter‑level tracking accuracy within the gymnasium, capturing Xu Liang's every emotional expression on the immersive stage. The multi‑device independent storage of color and position presets allowed the lighting operator to pre‑save dedicated light memories for every temporal segment of "Time Folding."

 

Zhou Shen "Shen Shen De" Tour – Guiyang Stop

On August 8 and 9, 2026, Zhou Shen's "Shen Shen De" tour performed two shows at the Guiyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium. This marked Zhou Shen's third consecutive year returning to his hometown for solo concerts, reuniting with his homeland through his signature "shen shen" voice amid familiar mountains and rivers.

 

The FINE iSPOT PILOT's ultra‑low‑latency real‑time tracking ensured that the follow‑spot responded as swiftly as every note in Zhou Shen's voice, precisely locking onto the singer's every movement and every heartfelt gaze with the audience across the vast stadium. The multi‑height mode flexibly adjusted spot heights between the stadium's tiered seating and the stage, keeping the follow‑spot precise and warm even in the grand arena, providing the most reliable light and shadow support for this visual feast hailed as "the pinnacle of Chinese aesthetic stagecraft."

 

From Hefei to Hangzhou, from Tianjin to Guiyang and Dongguan – five cities, five uniquely styled concerts. Each performance had its own soul, yet the common thread running through them all – the precise, agile, and emotionally rich beam of light – came from FINE ART's FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow‑spot system.

 

On August 7, a delegation of 25 members from the Guangdong Association of Sound, Lighting and Technology visited the headquarters of FINE ART for a tour and exchange. Li Liping, Deputy General Manager of FINE ART, warmly received the delegation and accompanied them throughout the visit. The two sides engaged in in‑depth discussions on cutting‑edge technology applications and industry development trends.

 

The delegation toured the brand exhibition hall, intelligent manufacturing department, lean production workshop, and experimental center at FINE ART's intelligent lighting headquarters. Through on‑site observation and expert explanations, they gained an in‑depth understanding of the company's strong capabilities in R&D innovation and large‑scale production manufacturing. To date, FINE ART has accumulated more than 600 authorized intellectual property achievements. Its products have been used in major national performances, including the evening gala commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti‑Fascist War, the gala celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and the National Day gala and evening celebration for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. These exemplary projects and independent technological achievements gave the delegation a more intuitive and profound appreciation of FINE ART's R&D and innovation capabilities, high‑standard production control systems, and efficient delivery capacity.

 

In the brand exhibition hall, the delegation engaged in in‑depth exchanges with product managers from the four major product lines: FINE ART professional stage lighting fixtures, the TEKMAND AI intelligent console, the FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow‑spot system, and the FINE DAX stage machinery control system.

On the evening of July 30, the three-day trial performance of the newly compiled Hakka mountain opera Rainy Songkou concluded at the Liangsheng Hakka Art Center in Meizhou. In the packed theatre, the misty rain of the ancient town of Songkou seeped into the hearts of contemporary audiences. Overseas Chinese returnees heard the echoes of their ancestors boarding ships, while young people understood the profound weight of the word "righteousness." Two generations completed a dialogue that transcended time.

 

"Since ancient times, Songkou has not bowed to the prefecture." As the first stop for Hakka people heading to Southeast Asia, the story of Rainy Songkou is rooted in this land. Under the joint creation of a top‑tier creative team including director Li Jiansheng, stage designer Ji Qiao, and lighting designer Xing Xin, the opera adopts a unique circular narrative structure, breaking away from the conventional patterns of traditional Hakka opera. It reflects the changing tides of a great era through the fate of three generations of two families in Songkou. The focus is on ordinary people: scholars, rogues, wartime postmen, and Hakka mothers. Liang Wenyuan sells himself to save his neighbors out of scholarly loyalty; Li Nianen repays kindness at the cost of his life, embodying the spirit of the common folk; Li Dusheng grows from an orphan to a revolutionary; and the Liang family, across two generations, sacrifices everything for the nation. The opera moves from personal gratitude and loyalty to family heritage, and finally to national duty, achieving a layered spiritual elevation. "Light and Ferry" is the spiritual motif of the opera: the tangible ferry is at Songkou Wharf, while the intangible ferry lies in everyone's heart, symbolizing the spiritual journey of a nation upholding righteousness and seeking light through a century of upheaval – a journey for which countless people willingly serve as boats to carry others forward.

 

In this epic presentation of the Hakka spirit, FINE ART's series of professional lighting fixtures and lighting consoles worked in concert, using precise light and shadow to imbue the misty rain of Songkou with soul. The FINE 1400CF PERF pattern and framing moving head light, with its 140mm output lens and unique optical design for uniform light distribution, is equipped with a full framing system and 90° pattern orientation positioning. It sharply frames Liang Wenyuan's decisive act of selling himself to save his neighbors and the silhouette of the mountain song grandmother releasing lanterns on the river, turning every choice about "righteousness" into a sculpted moment in light and shadow. The FINE 1400CF WASH-PERF wash and framing moving head light delivers a luminous flux of 47,000 lm, with a color rendering index of Ra > 95 and R9 > 90, producing a soft and full light spot. With CMY infinite color mixing and CTO linear color temperature adjustment from 2700K to 6500K, it renders the misty rain of Songkou, the flickering river lanterns, and the desolate grandeur of wartime, elevating the "ferry" imagery from the concrete to the spiritual through the flow of light and color.

 

The FINE 550 BSW three‑in‑one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its rotating gobo wheel, fixed gobo wheel, independent frost, eight‑facet prism, twenty‑four‑facet prism, and dynamic effect wheel combine to depict the thousands of sails of Hakka people heading to Southeast Asia and their unyielding spirit in troubled times. The FINE 400CL, with its 5‑color full‑spectrum optical design, continuously outputs white light with color temperatures from 2700K to 10,000K, with Ra and R9 both above 90. It features theatre‑grade 16‑bit high‑precision dimming, delicately illuminating the faces of the characters, revealing every tremor in the mountain song grandmother's suppressed sobs. The FINE 380 BEAM, a compact high‑efficiency beam light with a 17+1 fixed gobo wheel and two stackable prisms, cuts through the stage time and space with its full beam, parting the dust of history.

 

Behind the scenes, the TEKMAND III and TEKMAND D dual consoles coordinated the entire lighting schedule. The TEKMAND III handles 8,192 parameters, combining touchscreen and buttons, with a built‑in stage simulation module for offline pre‑programming, greatly saving rehearsal time. The TEKMAND D is smaller, portable, and lightweight, with an integrated design and multi‑point capacitive touchscreen for complex control. Paired with the TEKMAND DPU 16P expander, which provides 16 DMX output ports handling 16,384 parameters, the system effortlessly manages the complex lighting scheduling of the circular narrative structure with its interwoven multiple time and space layers, ensuring every beam of light lands precisely where the drama needs it.

 

As the misty rain of Songkou clears and the river lanterns merge into a galaxy of light, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the century‑old stories of righteousness and ferrying at the ancient town of Songkou, but also reflecting the spiritual backbone of the Hakka people, who, with their flesh and blood, perform acts of righteousness and serve as boats to carry others forward.

On July 12, the polished and upgraded version of the large‑scale modern Qin opera On the Banks of the Nanluo River, meticulously created by the Luonan County Troupe, was brilliantly staged at the Shangluo Cultural and Arts Centre Grand Theatre. As a key production for the 11th Shaanxi Provincial Art Festival and a 2025 Shaanxi Provincial Art Creation Grant project, the opera fully demonstrates the fruitful achievements of Shangluo's literary and artistic creation with its profound historical heritage, exquisite artistic presentation, and distinct regional characteristics.

 

Centered on the Luo family's century‑old tofu workshop as a spiritual vessel, the opera spans more than eighty years of changing times, chronicling the craftsmanship perseverance and spiritual legacy of three generations of the Luo family. During the War of Liberation, the tofu workshop served as an underground contact station; Luo's mother sacrificed her life to protect revolutionary comrades, and the young Luo Fulai, carrying her faith, joined the revolution. In the socialist construction period, Luo Fulai returned to his hometown to participate in the construction of the Luohui Canal, benefiting his neighbours through practical dedication. In the new era, the younger generation carries forward the tofu‑making skills, innovates industrial development models, and allows the spirit of simplicity, perseverance, and selfless dedication to continue along the banks of the Nanluo River from generation to generation. Rooted in the essence of Qin opera and grounded in real rural life, the production carries out systematic innovations in narrative structure, stylized presentation, and vocal music, vividly portraying the collective struggle of the people of Luonan who follow the Party, overcome difficulties, and build their homeland.

 

Multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART, with their outstanding light efficiency, painted the light and shadow backdrop for the eighty‑year chronicle of the times. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four‑in‑one framing light served as the workhorse. With 1500W high‑power output and a superior color rendering index (Ra and R9 both ≥ 95), it accurately reproduced the warm, smoky atmosphere of the tofu workshop and the desolate vastness of the Luohui Canal construction site. Even when the brightness is reduced to 20%, the color rendering index remains above Ra ≥ 90, with color temperature fluctuation within ±100K, ensuring that the characters' deep emotions in low‑light scenes are not disturbed by color shifts. Its patented cooling system, combined with intelligent electronic control, reduces dynamic noise to 33dB, preserving the theater's immersive atmosphere with extreme silence, so that every impassioned note of Qin opera reaches the audience's heart.

 

The FINE 4019 WASH PLUS high‑power LED moving head wash light delivers 30,000 lux at 6 meters at narrow angles, with a wide 4° to 60° zoom range to meet diverse lighting needs from solo arias to ensemble scenes. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker‑free start‑up at low brightness fully satisfy the rigorous lighting requirements of modern Qin opera. The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three‑in‑one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its CMY, CTO, and independent flowing color wheel interweave, while the rotating gobo wheel, fixed gobo wheel, independent frost, eight‑facet prism, twenty‑four‑facet prism, and dynamic effect wheel combine to depict the intensity of battlefield flames and the spirited atmosphere of the canal construction, delivering a powerful visual impact. The FINE 608 BATTEN moving head bar light, with 8 x 60W RGBW four‑in‑one sources and a light output exceeding 6000 lm, features a 5° to 50° zoom range. At narrow angles, the beam is full and non‑crossing; at wide angles, color mixing is excellent, adding dynamic light accents to the transitions across three generations.

 

As the Qin opera drum and clappers resound through the theatre, and as the warmth of the tofu workshop and the spirit of struggle on the banks of the Nanluo River are etched into the audience's hearts through the singing, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the original aspirations of the three generations of the Luo family, but also reflecting the enduring power of heritage on this land. Where light and shadow reach, craftsmanship endures, and the soul of the homeland remains forever.

As the lights dimmed and the songs lingered, the original Shanxi folk opera Ode to Taihang concluded successfully at the Shanxi Grand Theatre on the evenings of June 28 and 29. This revival, upgraded with special funding from the Shanxi Art Fund, debuted a brand‑new version. Its gripping plot, powerful singing, and immersive stage presentation deeply moved the audience, offering a literary and artistic tribute to the revolutionary years and a heartfelt salute to the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

The opera traces the life of an ordinary village girl, Li Ziqing, telling her story of struggling through hardship, awakening amid the flames of war, and firmly holding onto her faith through trials. Scenes of delivering supplies to the front, rescuing the wounded, defending their homes, and answering the nation's call unfold layer by layer, vividly recreating the historical truth of the people of the Taihang region giving everything they had to support the front and the deep bond between the military and the civilians. The "Taihang flower," which runs throughout the opera, grows from cracks in cliffs and stands firm against wind and frost, symbolizing the unyielding spirit of the Taihang people who never give up even in desperate times and turn toward the sun. The music deeply integrates regional elements such as Shangdang flowering tunes and local Shanxi folk songs, accompanied by a live folk orchestra, giving the red story a distinctly Shanxi flavor and emotional resonance. This revival has been comprehensively optimized in terms of character emotional layers, singing details, plot rhythm, and lighting scheduling, with many new life‑like scenes added, allowing the weighty red history to shed its stiffness and gain warmth. The theatre was packed, and the applause was long‑lasting.

In this stirring red artistic feast, multiple high‑quality lighting fixtures and lighting consoles from FINE ART worked in concert, using precise light and shadow to color the Taihang spirit. The FINE 1750XL BSWF four‑in‑one framing light features a custom 1500W module with a maximum output of 40,000 lm. Its full framing system, rotatable ±90°, delivers sharp, distortion‑free cutting edges, precisely framing each dramatic focal point as the plot advances – Li Ziqing's gaze back at her home as she delivers supplies, and the trembling of her blood‑stained hands as she tends to the wounded – all are sharply delineated. The FINE 1400 PERF pattern and framing moving head light, equipped with a 1400W lamp and a 140mm output lens, delivers a total luminous flux exceeding 35,000 lm. Its unique optical design ensures uniform light distribution and allows frosting via focus adjustment without changing the beam size or luminous flux, precisely capturing Li Ziqing's every spiritual transformation from confusion to determination.

The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three‑in‑one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its CMY, CTO, and independent flowing color wheel interweave, while the rotating gobo wheel, fixed gobo wheel, independent frost, eight‑facet prism, twenty‑four‑facet prism, and dynamic effect wheel combine to depict the stirring scenes of supply convoys and heroic home defense, delivering a powerful visual impact to the stage. The FINE 75 FT color professional footlight, only 0.5 meters long, uses an R, G, B, L four‑color mixing system to produce white light with color temperatures from 2500K to 10,000K (Ra and R9 both above 90). Its asymmetric reflector with dual‑row independent light control provides soft, even illumination, highlighting the faces of the actors and revealing every trace of their sincerity and determination.

Behind the scenes, the TEKMAND III console and the TEKMAND DPU 16P distributed processing unit formed a powerful control system. The console features a combination of touchscreen and buttons for intuitive and efficient operation, capable of handling 8,192 parameters on its own. Its built‑in stage simulation module supports offline pre‑programming, greatly saving rehearsal time. The DPU 16P integrates signal distribution, amplification, data switching, and processing, adding 16,384 parameters when used with the lighting console, effortlessly managing the complex lighting scheduling of the opera.

As the Taihang flowers bloom across the stage, and as the folk melodies transcend time through the singing, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the epic patriotism of the Taihang people united in heart, but also reflecting the ever‑living spirit of the red flame that continues to burn brightly.

On June 25, the large-scale historical Qin opera Luo Gong Bian, produced by the Shangzhou District Cultural Troupe, successfully premiered at the Shangluo Cultural and Arts Centre Grand Theatre. The play is based on the true historical deeds of Luo Wensi, a magistrate of Shangzhou during the Qing Dynasty, and uses the passionate, stirring rhythms of Qin opera to tell a centuries-old tale of an upright official.

 

During the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, a dangerous cliff-side path along the Danjiang River in Shangzhou made travel perilous for merchants and commoners alike. Luo Wensi, then the magistrate, showed deep concern for the people's plight. He used his own salary to fund the project, refused to impose levies or disturb the populace, and personally led the villagers in cutting through rock to widen the treacherous narrow path into a safe thoroughfare. He also installed stone railings and built rest platforms, completely solving the travel problem. The play goes beyond the story of building the Luo Gong Bian, fully portraying his ten-year tenure during which he built schools, promoted farming and sericulture, and repaired bridges over rivers. When he left office, he had not accumulated any personal wealth, but left behind safe roads and prosperous livelihoods for Shangzhou. In gratitude, the people named the road "Luo Gong Bian" and erected a stele in his memory, transforming the ancient path into a spiritual monument that transcends time.

 

After six months of meticulous refinement, the play retains the traditional artistic essence of Qin opera – singing, recitation, acting, and acrobatics – while subtly incorporating local cultural symbols such as the ancient Shangzhou road and intangible cultural heritage, allowing local audiences to instantly recognize familiar touches of home. During the performance, the dramatic plot combined with the stirring rhythms repeatedly ignited the audience, and the applause during the curtain call lasted for several minutes.

 

In this Qin opera epic of clean and upright officials, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART provided outstanding light efficiency, passionately supporting the unyielding spirit of Luo Wensi. The FINE 1700LH BSWF four-in-one framing light integrates beam, wash, pattern, and framing functions. With 1500W high-power output and a superb color rendering index (Ra and R9 both ≥ 95), it accurately reproduces the understated elegance of Qing-dynasty official costumes and the rugged textures of the ancient Danjiang path. Its patented cooling system, combined with intelligent electronic control, reduces dynamic noise to 33dB, preserving the theater's immersive atmosphere with extreme silence, so that every impassioned note of Qin opera reaches the audience's heart.

 

The FINE 4019 WASH PLUS high-power LED moving head wash light features 19 high-power 40W four-in-one LEDs. Its new optical design balances uniform color mixing and soft effects. At narrow angles, it delivers 30,000 lux at 6 meters, with a wide 4° to 60° zoom range to meet diverse lighting needs from solo arias to ensemble scenes. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker-free start-up at low brightness fully satisfy the rigorous lighting requirements of Qin opera. The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three-in-one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its rotating gobo wheel, fixed gobo wheel, independent frost, eight-facet prism, twenty-four-facet prism, and dynamic effect wheel work together to depict the awe-inspiring momentum of cutting through rock and the solemn dignity of courtroom judgments. The FINE 608 BATTEN moving head bar light, with 8 x 60W RGBW four-in-one sources and a light output exceeding 6000 lm, features a 5° to 50° zoom range. At narrow angles, the beam is full and non-crossing; at wide angles, color mixing is excellent. With 100 built-in color macros and 47 effect macros, it adds dynamic light accents to the time and space transitions of Qin opera.

 

As the Qin opera drum and clappers resound through the theater, and as the name "Luo Gong Bian" is etched into the audience's hearts through the singing, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the monumental feat of a clean official carving a road through rock for the people, but also reflecting the timeless spiritual power of diligence, compassion, and integrity that transcends past and present.

Vasily Vakulenko, better known by his stage name Basta, is one of the most beloved artists in the Russian music scene. A benchmark for countless up‑and‑coming hip‑hop artists in Russia, he is a cultural icon who transcends musical boundaries. From his debut album Basta 1 to his latest releases, hits like My Game, Sansara, and I Rise Above the Earth have long been a source of guidance and strength for millions.

 

Basta's 2026 large‑scale tour is never just a performance – it is a two‑hour‑plus mass sing‑along for tens of thousands. When the rhythm of Urban kicks in, when the melody of Slow flows through the venue, and when Handsup ignites the crowd, every move under the spotlight and every moment of connection with the audience is not to be missed. In this audio‑visual spectacle, FINE ART provided full support with 12 sets of the FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow‑spot system, ensuring every highlight was precisely captured.

 

Facing the complex environment of a massive stadium concert, traditional follow‑spot systems require operators to work at height – not only time‑consuming to install and costly to operate, but also struggling to accurately track the singer's rapid movements and improvised interactions. FINE ART's revolutionary FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow‑spot system solves these industry challenges. With no need for overhead rigging, operators on the ground can simultaneously control up to 12 follow‑spots to track the same target via the console. The system uses fiber‑optic cabling for low latency, providing dual visual feedback with both real‑time and target cursor tracking, achieving millisecond‑level precision in follow‑spot positioning.

 

The FINE iSPOT PILOT ground follow‑spot system features a multi‑height mode: when the stage includes stepped or multi‑level performance areas, the light spot can be freely adjusted according to height, ensuring the singer is always locked by a well‑proportioned, full beam regardless of terrain changes – without tracking deviation or spot distortion.

 

Paired with the highly coordinated FINE iSPOT EYE IP weatherproof pan‑tilt camera, rated IP66 for protection against smoke, outdoor rain, and intense sunlight, the system connects to standard moving head lights via DMX512. Video signals are transmitted over high‑speed Ethernet or fiber optics to the FINE iSPOT PILOT system, allowing operators to remotely control all functions of the fixtures – pan, tilt, iris, zoom, and more – enabling true "first‑person perspective" tracking: what you see is what you get, making follow‑spot operation more effortless.

 

Additionally, the built‑in high‑sensitivity camera delivers clear images even in blackout conditions as low as ≤1 lux, with extremely low latency, ensuring the operator's view stays perfectly synchronized with the live stage action.

 

As the mass chorus of Sansara resounds through the arena, and as the spotlights precisely follow Basta's every turn and gesture, FINE ART uses light as a guide – not only illuminating the iconic figure at center stage, but also empowering large‑scale concert follow‑spot operations with the hardcore technology of "ground control, remote tracking, millisecond response."

 

On June 4 and 5, the newly created historical Peking Opera The Upright Official Li Dianlin, produced by Shanxi Peking Opera Theatre, was staged for two consecutive evenings at the Ding Guoxian Grand Theatre. Using the art of Peking opera, the production vividly tells the moving story of Li Dianlin, a late‑Qing official from Shanxi who risked his life to remonstrate with the emperor and cared deeply for the people, offering the audience a theatrical feast rich in ideological depth and artistic excellence.

 

The play was selected for the Shanxi Art Fund's 2025 Stage Art Creation and Production Project. The script was written by renowned screenwriter Jing Yanbin, with direction by Ma Xiao, a faculty member of the Directing Department at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, and vocal score design by the celebrated opera musician Zhu Shaoyu. The leading role was performed by Sheng Zhiqiang, a renowned laosheng (old male role) master of the Xi school, joined by the acclaimed huulian (painted‑face) performer Zhang Wei and the Meipai qingyi (female lead) master Shan Na. The play focuses on the rampant corruption of the late‑Qing era’s donation‑based official appointment system. It tells how Li Dianlin, holding a high position in the Ministry of Personnel, witnessed the devastating effects of selling official posts on the people and resolutely risked his own safety to boldly remonstrate against the abolition of the two‑thousand‑year‑old system. The drama interweaves Li’s conflicts with his junior fellow Wang Rui, Empress Dowager Cixi, and his wife Zhou, creating a three‑dimensional portrait of an upright official who is both firm and compassionate. As the first original work to bring Li Dianlin to the theatrical stage, the play uses historical narrative to reflect on clean governance and the greater good of the nation, drawing lessons from the past to promote integrity, righteousness, and steadfastness in our own time.

 

In this Peking opera feast of clean‑official culture, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART provided outstanding light efficiency, passionately supporting the unyielding spirit of the upright official. The FINE 550 BSW PLUS three‑in‑one light, with its large 169mm output lens, creates a robust beam. Its rich color system – CMY, CTO, and an independent color wheel – interweaves with an eight‑facet prism and a twenty‑four‑facet prism, combined with a dynamic effect wheel, to depict the solemn dignity of the remonstrance in the imperial hall and the inner turmoil of the character. The FINE 1400 PERF, with its unique optical design, achieves uniform light distribution and allows frosting via focus adjustment without changing the beam size or luminous flux. Equipped with a full framing system rotatable 90°, it sharply frames Li Dianlin’s decisive posture as he dares to speak truth to power.

 

The FINE 4019 PIXIE PLUS two‑in‑one beam and wash light, using high‑quality RGBW four‑in‑one LEDs as its light source with individually controllable beads, delivers a maximum output of 900W and an illuminance of 29,500 lux at 6 meters. With a wide linear zoom range of 4° to 60°, uniform color mixing, and 0–100% smooth linear dimming, it effortlessly creates the layered atmosphere from late‑night contemplation to fierce debate in court. The FINE 400CL7 professional LED cyclorama/floor light employs a 7‑color full‑spectrum optical design with Ra and R9 both above 90, and theatre‑grade 16‑bit high‑precision dimming, providing delicate and precise coverage that illuminates the faces of the characters, revealing every trace of compassion and determination of the upright official.

 

As the final notes of Peking opera fade and the spirit of integrity lingers, FINE ART uses light as a brush – not only illuminating the iron‑will of an official who risked death to speak the truth, but also reflecting the timeless power of honesty, righteousness, and adherence to principle that transcends ancient and modern times. Where light and shadow reach, the clean governance and national duty are transformed on this stage into an enduring echo of the ages.

On the evening of June 1, 2026, the Jingyun Grand Theatre of Hubei Provincial Peking Opera Theatre resounded with thunderous applause and the resonant melodies of Peking opera as the large‑scale original work Hanyang Made successfully premiered. As a key production selected for the Ministry of Culture and Tourism's "2023–2025 Stage Art Creation Action Plan" and multiple key support projects in Hubei Province, the play uses the development history of the "Hanyang‑made" rifle as its historical anchor, vividly telling the story of China's modern industry – its arduous pioneering and determined pursuit of self‑strengthening – resonating deeply with the audience.

 

Hanyang Made takes as its main thread the founding of the Hubei Arsenal by Zhang Zhidong, the late‑Qing Viceroy of Huguang, reflecting the "birth history of a rifle" as a mirror of a nation's century‑long journey from awakening in peril to forging ahead through innovation. The script was co‑written by renowned playwright Zhao Ruitai and young screenwriter Pan Yanzhu, directed by acclaimed director Guo Xiaonan, and led by National First‑Class Actor Yin Zhangxu. With solid skills from three generations of performers, both in singing and acrobatics, the production showcases the vibrant, well‑inherited artistry of the Hubei Provincial Peking Opera Theatre. Unlike many historical dramas, the play does not stop at recounting historical facts. Instead, it focuses on the spiritual struggles and unyielding breakthroughs of late‑Qing officials and modern industrial workers under technological blockade and internal and external pressures, elevating the "chase for material progress" to a "spiritual awakening" that resonates across time with today's spirit of independent innovation and technological self‑reliance.

 

The stage aesthetic of the play blends the suggestive and minimalist traditions of Peking opera with contemporary visual expression. Multi‑layered, symbolic scenery combined with multimedia projections breaks the physical limits of the traditional stage, interweaving Zhang Zhidong's late‑night anxieties over establishing the arsenal with the oppressive weight of court pressures within the same dramatic context. Through the flow of light and shadow, the audience witnesses the dislocation between the individual and the era, evoking profound empathy for historical fate.

 

In the stage presentation of this national industrial epic, multiple professional lighting fixtures from FINE ART provided outstanding light efficiency, passionately supporting the century‑long journey of self‑strengthening. The FINE 1700CF BSWF four‑in‑one framing light has an effective range of up to 100 meters, with Ra and R9 both exceeding 95, delivering stunning light quality that accurately reproduces the rich textures of late‑Qing costumes and the cold steel of the arsenal. Its patented cooling system maintains full‑power operation at room temperature without derating, with noise below 45dB, preserving the theater's immersive atmosphere with extreme silence.

 

The FINE 4019 WASH PLUS high‑power moving head wash light features a new optical design for uniform color mixing and soft effects. At narrow angles, it achieves 30,000 lux at 6 meters, with a wide zoom range of 4° to 60° to meet diverse lighting needs from solitary contemplation to ensemble drama. Its smooth, delicate dimming and flicker‑free start‑up at low brightness perfectly align with the aesthetic requirements of Peking opera. The FINE 1700L WASH PERF wash and framing light is equipped with a latest‑generation high‑efficiency light engine (Ra ≥ 90) with a total luminous flux output exceeding 50,000 lm. It incorporates a second‑generation color standard for pure colors and a wide gamut, with CMY infinite color mixing and CTO linear color temperature adjustment to paint the vastness of the era. A framing system rotatable ±90° clearly defines every impactful moment of historical decision‑making.

 

As the prolonged applause faded, FINE ART used light as a brush – not only illuminating the arduous pioneering journey of China's modern industry, but also reflecting the unyielding spine of the Chinese nation striving for survival and development in desperate times. Where light and shadow reach, the metallic echoes and spirit of self‑strengthening from the hundred‑year history of Hanyang transform on this stage into a timeless tribute to the ages.
