Pop singer Jason Zhang is one of China’s most recognized music artists and performers. In 2023, his “Wei LIVE—Yao Beidou” concert tour culminated with a show at Beijing National Stadium, where the Chinese superstar played in front of 150,000 enthusiastic fans. The spectacle garnered rave reviews, praising stage design, sound, lighting, props, and choreography. The on-site broadcast—supported by ARRI live entertainment technology—not only became a huge success among live spectators but created a massive buzz in the online community as well.

Renowned director and cinematographer Liu Rui (“A Bite of China”) was responsible for the on-site broadcast of this large-scale concert. To translate the show’s electrifying atmosphere into live entertainment images, he opted for the ARRI Multicam System with AMIRA and ALEXA cameras: “We wanted to use new production tools to express some fresh elements in terms of visual quality,” Liu says in an interview with ARRI. The on-site production work was carried out by a team from Shiji HanTang Film and Television Group, led by Technical Director Lu Bei who, in the same interview, shares learnings and breakthroughs at this massive live production event.
