The 2023 CCTV Autumn Gala will revolve around the five cultural images of "poetry, wine, moon, water, and bamboo", using the grand narrative of Yangtze River culture and an inclusive attitude to tell Chinese stories, promote national culture, and continue national traditions. 
On the basis of continuing the consistent aesthetic and romance, the party used novel stage lighting props and exquisite design to three-dimensionally present the warm atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The party adopts a transparent structure main stage design. The video "frame" located in the center of the main stage, combined with the surrounding movable screens, as well as the surrounding lighting and hollow structure light frame arrangement, maximizes the beautiful scenery along the Sanjiang Interchange. integrated into the program.
For the first time, a multi-point three-dimensional stage combination is created to fully display the beauty of "Three Rivers and Six Banks" in all directions and dimensions. The Mother River surges from the zero kilometer mark of the main channel of the Yangtze River and rushes all the way to the sea, gathering the majestic power of the Chinese nation community. The main stage of this year’s Autumn Gala has a deep symbolic meaning. It is located in the Yangtze River Park next to the confluence of the Jinsha River, Minjiang River and Yangtze River. The design adopts a transparent structure, showing 360 degrees from the AB side.
While continuing the beautiful and romantic artistic style of previous years, the on-site stage design will also make use of the unique ecological resources of the "Three Rivers and Six Banks" to enhance the stage presentation through novel stage design and lighting props, creating a multi-point three-dimensional stage combination for the first time, and achieving four Filmed in a performance area. Among the details that have been exposed, the "pool moon" in the center echoes with the white tower and mirror tower in the distance, integrating into one, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
In previous years, the main station’s Autumn Gala was inseparable from water, and this year is no exception. This year’s water stage is 60 meters in diameter and is integrated with the waterscape of Sanjiangkou. There is a large screen next to the stage that is composed of 4 parts and can rotate 360 degrees. Combined with the video frame in the center of the stage, it presents the unique beauty of Sanjiangkou in an all-round way, thus forming the "AB side" stage.
As CCTV's annual grand music TV program, the importance of picture and sound effects is self-evident. In other words, it is necessary to ensure the perfect integration of viewing and listening. This puts forward higher requirements for on-site sound design and post-production sound production. requirements. After the CCTV Autumn Gala broke the record for the highest ratings in history in 2021 and 2022, the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in 2023 once again teamed up with KV2 Audio from the Czech Republic to provide unparalleled sound quality for the scene.
At the 2023 China Central Radio and Television Station Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, we will still use the excellent equipment and technology from 2022 for the core parts to provide the best sound quality for the scene. For this Autumn Gala, we continue to use a high-definition sound system to provide artists with the best monitoring effects with the simplest system. At the same time, we can achieve nearly hidden installation to ensure the beautiful stage effects expected by the TV screen. The technical team of Longjian Group and the audio team of CCTV Autumn Gala determined the final sound plan after several rounds of continuous optimization based on factors such as program needs, picture needs, effect needs, venue environment, stage scenery, response to changes, etc.
We had to consider both the uniform coverage of the effective area, the camera image, and the avoidance of bad acoustic reflections from the four large movable curved screens, so we designed four sets of movable KV2 Audio VHD2.0 around the lake. The +VHD4.18 high-definition sound system serves as the main stage sound reinforcement system, and is managed and driven by the supporting power amplifier controllers VHD2000 and VHD3200, providing large dynamic and high-definition sound field coverage for the main performance area on the lake.
In the face of uncertain factors in on-site demand, a sufficient number of additional small-sized speaker systems are backed up, which can be hidden in different locations to build all-round high-definition sound coverage for the areas that need to be monitored at any time. For the small-sized speaker system used on site, we continued to choose the PEAVEY single-six from last autumn night this time. It is thin, light and compact, can be installed in hidden locations, and can provide sufficient sound pressure level. In addition to its excellent sound reproduction quality, this speaker system has also withstood severe tests such as long periods of rainstorms and high temperatures during the recording of autumn evenings. No additional protective measures are required and installation is very easy, which is especially important for outdoor applications.The CCTV Autumn Gala is not only an audio-visual reunion event that accompanies thousands of families to celebrate the festival every year, but also embodies the patriotism and homesickness of Chinese people around the world. A beautiful and exciting high-quality Mid-Autumn Festival reunion trip is about to begin...
