From Screen to Stage: A New Era for Link Click
The hit animation Link Click from the Chinese mainland is taking fans on a whole new journey: a live musical at the iconic Time Photo Studio. The trailer, released last week, has already sparked excitement by blending the series’ time-bending narrative with an immersive stage experience.
Step Inside the Time Photo Studio
Audience members step into real-life sets inspired by the series’ most memorable moments. From neon alleyways to historic photo booths, each scene comes alive through projection mapping and dynamic choreography. Early ticket data shows a sold-out run for 80% of performances in the first 48 hours, proving the global appetite for innovative live experiences.
Behind the Scenes: Creative Minds Speak
We caught up with director Li Ming and composer Tan Wei to learn how they adapted the animation’s emotional core for the stage. “We wanted to keep the mystery of time travel while elevating it with live orchestration and holographic visuals,” says Li Ming. Tan Wei adds, “Combining rock, pop, and classical motifs helped capture the series’ pulse and connect with a diverse audience.”
Next Steps
Full access to our behind-the-scenes documentary is coming soon. Stay tuned for an exclusive look at how Link Click’s creative team is redefining the boundary between animation and live performance.
