1. Core Highlights of the Concert

Epic Stage Upgrade

Naked-eye 3D and Mechanical Lion King: The show opens with an 8-meter-tall mechanical lion making a stunning entrance, with Deng Ziqi standing on its back, accompanied by cold light smoke and laser matrix, presenting an upgraded epic atmosphere of "The Lion King."

Gem-extended Stage and AR Effects: A newly added galaxy fragment-shaped extended stage combined with a 360-degree rotating piano platform offers a no-dead-angle viewing experience; 4D water screen effects and AR technology present surreal visuals like "Reverse Rainstorm" and "Flame Freezing."

Sound and Light Interaction Revolution: French top-tier sound system and dynamic light matrix work together, with classic songs "Countdown" and "New Heartbeat" vibrating the chest through sound waves, creating a "touchable melody."

Thematic Narrative and Emotional Resonance

Humanistic Philosophy: The VCR uses "chip bondage" as a metaphor for modern social dilemmas, with Deng Ziqi transforming into the "Gloria Warrior," conveying rebellion and awakening through "Almost Girl" and "Fly Away."

Emotional Spectrum: From the release in "Period" to the ultimate tribute in "The Sky Has No Limits," the music connects multidimensional emotions of family, love, and growth.

Exclusive Fan Interaction

Ten Thousand Purple Sea Chorus: Must-sing hits "Bubble" and "Light Years Away" trigger a starry chorus throughout the venue, with official glow sticks synchronizing color changes with stage lights.
