The chess game is the curtain, and everything is the chess game | VDF Weidiao participated in the second season of Tencent Video’s top cooking competition 'One Rice to Become a God'

A food competition variety show can turn the stage into a chess game and turn the cooking competition into an immersive chess showdown with both a sense of ritual and tension. It gives the food competition a movie-level visual quality, which is the deepest shock for many viewers after watching 'One Rice to Confer Gods 2'.

EVEN led by Lu Zhen The SPACE space design team takes 'cooking as a game, and everything is a chess piece' as the creative core to break the design limitations of the traditional food stage. It is no longer limited to the conventional presentation methods of stoves and large screens, and newly constructs a three-dimensional chess stage: the ground grid mirror platform serves as the chess board body, and the 'chess pieces' representing thousands of ingredients and delicacies break free from the constraints of the plane and float over the entire stage, turning the entire culinary competition into a three-dimensional and immersive chess game.

VDF micro-hanging continues to participate in helping to upgrade the show's stage beauty. Different from the stage lifting ring device in the first season, this season’s dynamic lifting device uses luminous food square boxes, which are hoisted by 30 15-meter 60KG-level micro cranes.

Compared with conventional large-scale stage lifting equipment, VDF-T30TC is more suitable for the space and lens requirements of studio stages. The 15-meter long stroke allows the equipment to be completely stowed on the ceiling. The slender hanging rope blends into the dark light and shadow, allowing the mechanical equipment to retreat behind the scenes, leaving a clean and pure picture. It also makes the food square box in the sky become the real visual protagonist. The 60KG load level leaves sufficient carrying space for the device, and it can operate stably even in the face of changes in the weight of ingredients or temporary adjustments on site.

The detailed parameters of T30TC are as follows:

Load 60KG, lifting range 1500CM

The fastest speed is 40CM/S

Control method DMX-512 Total number of channels 4CH

Control interface 3-pin/5-pin XLR-input/output

Adaptable voltage AC90V-240V/50-60HZ

Output mode 220V_1300W/RJ45/DMX

Total power 850W

E-STOP Emergency Brake/Loose Rope Alarm

LINK(Teamwork)/standard balance bar

VDF-T30TC realizes the synchronization, staggered lifting and lowering of 30 groups of devices through programming, and the luminous food square boxes are arranged in an orderly manner in the air, forming a 'food chess piece matrix' full of layers. With dark-toned light and shadow, invisible hanging ropes and mirrored floor tiles, a three-dimensional chess game of 'hanging chess in the sky and projection on the ground' is created, visually presenting the core theme of this season's program and adding a stronger sense of ritual and visual tension to the food competition.

From the aerial ring in the first season to the food chess game in the second season, what has changed is the creativity of the stage design, but what remains unchanged is the exploration of dynamic spatial expression. VDF micro cranes always use stable and reliable dynamic performance to move design ideas from drawings to the stage. In the future, VDF will continue to work with more stage design teams to create more anticipated visual experiences for the performing arts space.
