The lights dimmed, the 360 degree rotating stage slowly turned, and the sound of gunfire exploded in the ears. Water mist carried the smoke of gunpowder and rushed towards us. The figures of Red Army soldiers fighting in the midst of gunfire seemed to break through time and space, reaching straight in front of us... In the Fenghuangshan Cultural Square Theater in Honghuagang District, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, a large-scale immersive performance of Long March culture, "The Great Turning Point," is currently being performed. This is so shocking! ”As the curtain slowly closed, Ms. Feng, a tourist from Guangdong, was still reminiscing. "The immersive experience made people feel like they had traveled back to the red era and could have a dialogue with revolutionary predecessors across the air." Many viewers around her had tears in their eyes. Recently, 'The Great Turning Point' celebrated its second anniversary of performance. This play, with the Zunyi Conference as its historical core and the Central Red Army's bloody battle on the Xiangjiang River before turning to Guizhou and crossing the Chishui River four times, has been performed in over 2000 shows since its premiere on January 15, 2024, attracting more than 650000 viewers and becoming a shining business card for Guizhou's red tourism industry. Red history is no longer static words in books, but a three-dimensional time and space that can be felt, touched, and empathized. Behind the success and popularity, there is the powerful force injected by innovative technology into immersive artistic expression: 800 tons of water restore the fierce battle of the Xiang River, a 26 meter waterfall reproduces the steepness of the Jinsha River, the stage mechanical positioning accuracy reaches ± 3 millimeters, and the audio-visual linkage accuracy is ± 0.1 seconds; The creative team treats every part of history with reverence, repeatedly refining and iterating in script polishing, stage design, sound effects presentation, and other aspects; Actors deeply cultivate their roles, from studying party history to understanding the characters, making the image of revolutionary predecessors come to life on stage... The ingenuity behind the scenes makes every performance full of warmth. The first time I played the scene of the Loushanguan Battle bombing a bunker, I lay down for 5 minutes after coming off the stage, and my whole body was covered in bruises. ”Backstage, actor Li Junlin, who had just changed his costume, recalled, "Now, every time I pull that grenade, I can truly feel the sadness and fearlessness in Captain Han's heart as he watches his comrades fall." He hopes to tell this story to more people through his performance. Stepping out of the theater, the weekend Phoenix Mountain Cultural Square was crowded with people. Bringing children here is not just for watching a performance, but also for taking a 'compulsory course', "said Mr. Pan, a citizen holding his son's hand, with a lingering desire." I hope to let red culture take root in children's hearts from an early age. "" The drama innovatively introduces the 'watching performance+real-life learning' mode, allowing young people to cultivate red genes in the stunning art scene. ”Wang Liming, the head of the marketing department of Guizhou Great Transformation Culture Development Co., Ltd., said. In the past two years, the "Great Transformation" performing arts complex has successively established teaching and practice bases for "Great Ideological and Political Courses" in multiple universities, and has received over 100000 students in total. Driven by immersive live action performances, Zunyi's red tourism industry is igniting new vitality. The drama has become popular, and the surrounding industries such as catering, accommodation, and cultural and creative industries have also heated up. "Wang Liming introduced that in the past two years, the conversion rate of tourists to watch the drama at the Zunyi Conference site has increased from 5% to 9%, and the proportion of tourists from outside the province has reached as high as 70%; In 2025, the operating income of the drama will be nearly 40 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28%.
