The "Future, Hello" New Year’s Eve concert by Jason Zhang uniquely integrates stage design, music, and emotional experiences, delivering an unprecedented immersive performance. Through meticulously crafted stage elements, lighting, projections, and real-time interactive technology, this concert redefines the relationship between the artist and audience, breaking away from traditional formats. Inspired by the "Roche Limit" concept, the stage design brings the interaction between the singer and fans to the most intimate and romantic extremes, presenting an unparalleled stage experience.

The stage design of this concert features bold innovations in both form and structure. The stage is elliptical, with inner and outer rings, where the smaller outer ring can rotate around the main stage, and the inner ring can rise, fall, and move laterally. This dynamic design not only enhances the sense of movement on stage but also reduces the distance between the artist and fans, adding fluidity and interactivity to the performance. Inspired by the "Roche Limit" in astronomy, which symbolizes the most intimate yet safe distance between celestial bodies, the stage design centers on the closeness between the artist and the audience.

The concert features a four-sided stage design that ensures the best visual experience for the audience, regardless of their position in the venue. The multiple small stages, combined with mechanical movement, address the limitations of traditional stage layouts and allow the artist to interact freely with fans across the performance space, enhancing immersion and audience engagement. Additionally, a 16-meter-diameter inflatable sphere suspended above the center of the stage serves as the main visual element, creating unprecedented visual impact when combined with dynamic lighting and projections.

The lighting design for this concert is inspired by the vastness and infinity of the cosmos, with lighting and projection effects interacting closely with music and choreography to create a mysterious and romantic atmosphere. The combination of circular screens and spherical projections breaks away from traditional 2D stage effects, offering an immersive 3D experience and naked-eye 3D effects for viewers from all angles.
