We often come across examples of large-scale cases of event companies and creative teams from China.
Due to the partial isolation of the Internet in the East, many cases of the local event market remain inaccessible to our eyes. But there are a lot of wonderful things to look at.

First of all, it is necessary to highlight their ability to work with bold ideas, the latest technologies and the scale of the production. Three key factors contribute to this.
Professionals of Eastern countries manage to attract talents from all over the world for their shows, accumulate volunteers in a short time and quickly create any equipment for their needs.
For example, in honor of its anniversary, Intel has created a light show in which were more than 500 drones draw various three-dimensional shapes. It took only two to three months for specialists from China to double the "copy" of the project. For such shows, engineers and visualizers from China master all the developments and techniques from scratch, then complicate the task by increasing the scale. Apparently, they are driven by a national love of festival brightness, brilliance and passion for records.
Tandem Russia X China - not an easy task
If the Chinese are on the side of the customer, the contractor (us) has to face the same frenzied rhythm and abstraction of tasks in the preparation and implementation of projects, as is customary in their style of work.
If on the contrary — here the usual story, "to promise — does not mean to do."
Four main points to pay attention to:
- You will need a local assistant. A proven person who is willing to work for your interests. You will be lucky if such a person is around. It will help you in work and communication.
- An integral part of business ethics and culture is a joint trip to the Chinese food service. Thus business relations are fixed and to neglect this point-means to show disrespect.
- It is important and necessary to bargain. This is part of the business culture, without which no transaction is complete.
- The Chinese never say ' no ' directly. It is necessary to work out a number of companies to have a choice or to decide on a counterparty that suits you in style and attitude to work.

In this aspect, it should be noted that experts from the East have added zest. Almost every device the Chinese not only copy under their brand, but also make new versions or hybrids based on it. If it is, for example, some static special effect with one functional, like smoke or fire, then additional gadgets are added to their execution.
