There are 19 "Star Space" small theaters hidden on the 1st to 11th floors of the building. In 2020, the first "Star Space" opened, and it has grown to 19 so far, with a total of more than 10,000 performances performed. Asia Tower is hailed by industry insiders as a "vertically growing theater district."
Asia Building's "activity" is very high. On a weekday afternoon, young people walked into Asia Tower from time to time and skillfully took out theater tickets from the self-service ticket machines on the first floor. Chen Jie, a white-collar worker who works nearby, is a frequent visitor to "Star Space". She told reporters: "A colleague and I bought 24 tickets for 12 shows together. I came to pick up the tickets first, and when we watched the show, we Enter directly by ticket. "
At night, after the performances started one after another, the Asia Building became more lively. Audiences came from all directions and the Asia Tower was brightly lit. After the show, the audience who walked out of the theater were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they stood on Hankou Road and Jiujiang Road in an orderly manner, waiting for their favorite actors to "get off work."
Compared with traditional theaters, "Star Space" is small in size and highly flexible. It can accommodate one to two hundred people at most, and there are also mini spaces for dozens of people. The performance environment can be arranged in an immersive way according to the content of the play. This brings more experience and intimacy to the audience.

This immersive theater-watching experience has been well received by young audiences. On social platforms, many viewers even shared their experience in seat selection and analyzed the theater-watching experience brought by different seats.
The immersive drama viewing experience makes the audience of "Star Space" very young. "Most of our audiences are between 25 and 35 years old. In the past two years, many college students and high school students have also appeared in the audience. There are some passionate youth-themed plays, and even children as young as 12 or 13 years old have come to watch them with their parents." Said Ruan Hao, general manager of Shanghai Yahua Lake Theater Management and Development Co., Ltd., the operator of "Star Space". Young audiences are enthusiastic about watching dramas and watch dramas with an astonishing frequency. "There are many viewers who have watched the same scene dozens of times in , and there are still viewers who watch hundreds of times over and over again! " Ruan Hao said.
“Watching dramas is now my way of life.” Chen Jie told reporters that she used to surf online dramas when she got home from work, but now she comes to the Asia Building to watch small theater plays after get off work. “Here, even on weekday evenings, There are also five or six plays being performed. Sometimes I come over after get off work and watch a play at random. It feels very satisfying and relaxing. "
Asia Tower attracts audiences from all over the country, and there are often out-of-town audiences who "go to a show for a show." "City", took the "flying" and took the high-speed train to watch the show. "These foreign audiences often come for a favorite play or actor, and will watch other plays at the same time." Ruan Hao estimates that during national statutory holidays, winter and summer vacations, about 40% of 's audiences come from other places.
drives peripheral consumption potential
" star space" has extended from the Asia Building, reaching 54, dotted in the world of entertainment.
The century-old Shanghai World has been transformed into a "performing arts consumption cluster" in recent years. The biggest change is the introduction of "Star Space", where many resident musical classics are performed; a well-known commercial complex on Nanjing East Road—— Shanghai No. 1 Department Store has freed up a total of 8,500 square meters of commercial area on three floors during the renovation, and transformed it into 19 "star space" immersive small theaters.
A "star space" represents a drama. In the world of performing arts, various plays are performed one after another every day in a space that is only a few hundred meters to one kilometer apart, attracting young audiences.
Asia Tower's "Star Space" often has five or six plays performed even on weekdays, and more than 10 plays are performed on weekends.

The consumption effect brought about by watching the drama is also slowly overflowing outwards.

In the past two years, Ruan Hao found that there were fewer visitors dragging trolley cases. After asking, I found out that many viewers now plan their itinerary in Shanghai in advance. "Out-of-town audiences will book hotels in advance. After arriving in Shanghai, they will first go to the hotel to put down their suitcases before watching the show. They may watch multiple plays in a few days and travel to Shanghai during the breaks. Where to eat, Wherever they go shopping, they will make plans in advance to watch the show and take a more in-depth trip in Shanghai," Ruan Hao said.
