Christie laser projectors played a pivotal role in enhancing “Changbai Love Song Performance,” a captivating cultural show staged at the Daxitai River Scenic Area in Antu County, Jilin Province, China.
The performance, which celebrates local history and folklore, is powered by 24 Christie DWU19-HS 1DLP laser projectors installed by Christie’s trusted partner, Beijing Zhongqing Display Technology.
Huaqing Zhou, project manager, Beijing Zhongqin, said: “The Christie DWU19-HS projectors have been instrumental in bringing the performance to life. Their ability to deliver outstanding brightness and sharp image detail, even in challenging outdoor conditions, helped us achieve the desired visual effects. The clarity and colour accuracy elevated the performance to a whole new level, making it an unforgettable experience for the audience.”
The performance featured large-scale projections on a variety of surfaces, including mountain faces, the ground, and water curtains. The vast projection areas, spanning up to 80m in length and 25m in height, required the precision and flexibility offered by the Christie DWU19-HS projectors.
Additionally, the harsh environment of Changbai Mountain, with its extreme temperatures, humidity, and strong winds, posed significant challenges to maintaining consistent projection quality. To ensure the projectors remained protected, Beijing Zhongqing installed 10 custom enclosures, keeping the equipment stable and operational despite the adverse conditions.
Yangshun Jia, co-project manager, Beijing Zhongqing, said: “The weather and terrain were incredibly challenging, but the Christie projectors showed remarkable resilience. From the irregular terrain to the unpredictable climate, the DWU19-HS projectors performed flawlessly, ensuring the visual elements were seamlessly integrated with the performance. Their reliability and performance exceeded our expectations, and the end result was a stunning, immersive experience.”
The integration of advanced projection technology with cultural storytelling was key to the show’s success. By weaving the legend of the “Pine and Birch Lovers,” a symbol of everlasting love, with the natural beauty of Changbai Mountain, the performance not only celebrated the region’s rich heritage but also attracted a global audience, driving tourism and fostering economic growth.
