For those who are unaware, the name TPi stands for Total Production International. It’s a name that we’ve always strived to live up to, covering shows from across the globe and speaking to the crewmembers responsible for making them happen. As we move into 2023, one of our goals for the year is to provide far greater international on-site coverage of shows, which is why, in late 2022, I was on board an international flight bound for Taiwan. The gig in the question I was skipping time zones to see was one of Mandopop’s biggest names, JJ Lin.
The famed Singaporean singer was celebrating two decades in the industry with a jaw-dropping production, which included such highlights as two fully automated rotating lifts and an enormous LED wall – deployed throughout five distinct acts of the show, which took audiences on an audio-visual journey to all aspects of the star’s immense 14-album back catalogue. Lin’s long-standing production team, B’in Live provided a turnkey solution, not only supplying all the audio, lighting and video, but also overseeing the entire production and overall show design.
