/PRZWT/As a major event of the Baoshan sub-venue of the 2025 Shanghai International Light and Shadow Festival, on the evenings of September 30th and October 1st, Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Tourism Resort Development and Operation Management Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Yingyuan (Shanghai) Culture and Technology Development Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Shangyingyuan") jointly produced the "Wusongkou Air Theater" special series to celebrate the National Day. It was spectacularly staged above the Wusongkou International Cruise Port in Shanghai.
As the drone technical support team for this event, Qianji Technology, from creativity to execution, used technology to reconstruct the contemporary expression of the classic IP of Shanghai Animation Film Studio. Over two nights, they presented the first national trend show of "Nezha's Rebellion in the Sea" and the limited-time return of "The Havoc in Heaven".

CCTV Focus: Qianji C5 provides solid Support, Driven by both creative design and technological innovation
The two performances of the uniquely creative "Wusongkou Aerial Theater" this time attracted tens of thousands of citizens and tourists to stop by the banks of Wusongkou, with applause and exclamations never ceasing.
This performance was featured in the "Chinese Style, World Trend" theme news report by CCTV4, the Chinese International Channel of China Media Group. In the report, media reporters paid particular attention to the deep integration path of drone performances and classic animation ips, showing great interest in it. Zhang Fan, the person in charge of the cluster control system of Qianji Technology, introduced in an interview that the core highlight of this performance lies in the adoption of the newly released Qianji C5, a brand-new generation of intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle performance system. He mentioned: "Especially in some new environments and under new conditions, it is actually a challenge and a verification for us." It's the first time under such a relatively strong magnetic field condition. Also, in the port environment, the wind is quite strong, so there are certain requirements for our wind resistance." When traditional stories meet drone technology and traditional aesthetics collide with modern light and shadow, this performance is not only a display of technological strength, but also a trend invitation sent by Chinese culture to the world in an international language.
At present, Chinese drone shows not only maintain their popularity domestically but also frequently "go global" to drive the export of related products and services. This "light and shadow myth" empowered by technology is presenting a series of stunning visual feasts to audiences both at home and abroad. Zhang Chao, the project executive director of Qianji Technology, said, "In the past, drone shows were often on a scale of 500, 1,000, or 1,500. Now, 2,000 or 3,000 drones have gradually become the norm in the industry."
Two Nights in a Row: Classic myths leap into the sky, and technological aesthetics reconstruct the narrative
On the evening of September 30th, 1,500 thousand-aircraft C5s slowly took off, marking the official launch of the first national trend show of "Nezha's Rebellion in the Sea". The drone used the night sky as a canvas to vividly recreate classic scenes such as Nezha's incarnation, holding the Qiankun Circle, wearing the Hun Tian Brocade, and bravely fighting against the Four Sea Dragon Kings. He set off from the legendary Chentang Pass, braving the wind and waves all the way to the riverside of Baoshan.
Amid the surging red silk, as the plot progresses to the climax of the "sea disturbance", a carefully choreographed fireworks display joins in at the right time. At the end of the performance, Nezha was reborn from the Lotus Terrace, just like the vigorous vitality of the Chinese nation after undergoing baptism. The picturesque scene of Baoshan Riverside and Nezha's legendary figure complemented each other, jointly playing a powerful note of The Times that was uplifting and uplifting, conveying the beautiful ode of Baoshan and Shanghai Film Studio to national peace and prosperity and the flourishing of The Times.
On the evening of October 1st, the technologically upgraded "The Havoc in Heaven" made a grand return. In the night sky, the Monkey King Equal to Heaven sent National Day greetings to the citizens and tourists of Baoshan. The drone formation is dynamic and ever-changing, outlining classic scenes such as the Peach Garden and the Lingxiao Hall. The brilliant fireworks are like a dazzling battle armor draped over the Monkey King, vividly showcasing his rebelliousness and heroic spirit, paying tribute to this eternal legend of Chinese animation.
Phenomenon-level effect: New scenarios for cultural and tourism consumption are activated, adding more luster to the city's cultural calling card
The successful holding of the "Wusongkou Aerial Theater" is a successful practice of the integration of "technology + culture + tourism". Through its leading drone performance technology, Qianji Technology reempowers classic animation ips that carry collective memories in a form that conforms to contemporary aesthetics, making them a powerful engine to activate the night economy and enhance the cultural and tourism appeal of cities. On the day of the event, approximately 73,000 people participated on-site, and the daily sales volume was several times higher than that of an ordinary weekend. The event not only brought high-quality cultural and artistic experiences to the citizens, but also effectively stimulated cultural, tourism, commercial, sports and exhibition consumption around the Baoshan Cruise Resort through IP as a bond, exploring a new paradigm for artistic expression in urban public Spaces.
Qianji Technology stated that in the future, it will continue to focus on the innovation and application of drone formation performance technology, actively cooperate with more outstanding cultural ips, and be committed to creating more diverse and stunning aerial visual feasts for global audiences, continuously injecting technological impetus into the deep integration and high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry.
