Caiyi Technology Navigates the 2026 China Media Group New Year's Eve Gala
On December 31, 2025, the grand Chinese-style narrative of Setting Sail 2026—The China Media Group New Year's Eve Gala commenced amidst the vast Loess Plateau of Lüliang, Shanxi. For the first time, the CMG New Year's Eve Gala was hosted in this location, adopting the theme "Backbone of Mountains and Rivers" and integrating its stage into the real gullies and ridges of the landscape. Innovatively employing a "1+N" multi-location linkage format, the four-and-a-half-hour gala was divided into four chapters—"Spring's Beginning," "Summer's Blaze," "Autumn's Harvest," and "Winter's Warmth"—resembling a symphonic poem of the era interwoven with revolutionary heritage, geographical wonders, and youthful vitality.
Behind this flowing visual tapestry, a sophisticated lighting system composed of over 800 professional luminaires from Caiyi Technology served as the essential yet unseen artisan, transforming creative blueprints into stunning reality. The four chapters demanded distinctly different color palettes and atmospheres. Caiyi's 4-in-1 moving heads, such as the FINE 1700CF BSWF and FINE 1400LH BSWF, leveraged their exceptional color fidelity (CRI Ra≥95, R9≥90) and CMY continuous color mixing systems to precisely blend hues—the hopeful verdure of spring, the blazing intensity of summer sun, the golden glow of autumn harvest, and the warm radiance of winter hearths. This ensured the color transitions perfectly mirrored the emotional arc, establishing the foundational visual texture for the entire gala.
For traditional feats like Face-Changing, where every split-second detail is paramount, and for explosive songs like Setting Off Immediately, the FINE 600 BSW IP 3-in-1 luminaires played a crucial role. Their sharp beams and clear pattern projection capability allowed them to lock onto performers like followspots, ensuring every head turn and sleeve flourish became a focal point. When the lighthearted melodies of songs like Girl Over There Look This Way, Peach Blossoms in Bloom, and Living with Ease began, the stage required an instant switch to a lively, interactive atmosphere. The FINE 6019 PIXIE IP, with its smooth 0-100% linear dimming and wide linear CCT adjustment from 2500K to 8000K, rapidly bathed the stage in a warm, bright, and uniform foundational light, allowing classics to regain vitality within its glow.
When artists like Zhou Shen and Jam Hsiao took the stage, pushing the gala to successive climaxes, lighting transformed into the energy engine igniting the entire venue. The FINE 1200C STROBE IP effects light shone brilliantly. Its 10 segments with a total 700W high-power white light could unleash a stunning luminous flux exceeding 100,000 lumens. Combined with 40 RGB color pixels and hundreds of built-in effect macros, it could instantly create magnificent scenes akin to a galaxy cascading or auroras dancing, fully visualizing the surging energy of the music and turning the stage into a boiling point of youth and passion.
