Online music concerts have been gaining popularity in China as more and more music platforms explore new methods to monetize entertainment in an increasingly digital age.

In 2020,NetEase Cloud Music continued to develop a range of online live shows,including the "Bedroom Live Music Festival" and a series of other innovative online events,while also exploring further possibilities for other virtual shows. NetEase Cloud Music is currently the most favored online performance platform in China,especially among young users aged under 20,according to data from iiMedia Research,a third-party data mining and analysis organization in China.

NetEase Cloud Music has been highly innovative with content and technology,weaving a variety of cutting-edge technologies into stage effects and online interaction to successfully create an audio-visual treat for the public. For the TFBOYS concert,NetEase Cloud Music used technologies including mixed reality (MR),image overlay and augmented reality (AR) to give the event a more realistic quality when compared to traditional online concerts.
