During the popular men's group MIRROR's concert in the Red Pavilion at the end of July, a rare and serious accident occurred. A large screen in the middle of the stage suddenly fell, and two dancers were injured. Among them, Li Qiyan (A Mo) was seriously injured.
After being invisible for two and a half months, the concert organizer MakeVille and Daguo Culture finally issued a statement today (7th) to explain the incident. Events can be represented externally.
The statement also pointed out that after learning that the government's investigation is nearing completion, and waiting for the report to be released, I understand that the public has expectations of the company, so I hope to provide as much information as possible in a limited space, including that the company has hired independent third-party experts to assist in the investigation. He also refuted external criticism that the appointment of the production team is based on experience and cost is not the primary consideration, emphasizing that the company's original intention to promote the creative industry and performing arts in Hong Kong remains unchanged.

Full text of Great Power Culture and MakerVille Statement:
It has been more than two months since the concert event took place.
During these days, we have not been constantly representing foreign countries. It seems that we have chosen to remain silent. The main reason is that we hope that the investigation by the government expert group and various departments will have a final result, and we hope that we will first focus on taking care of the needs of the injured.
Knowing that the investigation is coming to an end, while we are waiting for the investigation report, we understand that the public has expectations of us, so we hope to give as much information as possible in a limited space:
1. Engage independent third-party experts to assist in the investigation
Immediately after the accident, the company hired independent third-party experts to assist us in the investigation and to understand the ins and outs of the incident.
We also collected information from different details internally, including the preparation process and arrangement of the concert, the documents submitted to the relevant agencies and the on-site inspection report, as well as a series of additional safety measures that we have suggested.
However, since the details may involve the contents of the investigation, please understand that the company has not been able to explain them one by one at this stage.
The company understands that the public wants to know the above information, so after the results of the investigation are announced, we will provide more details to the public without prejudice to any legal process.
2. Employ the production team based on experience and cost is not the primary consideration
When we appoint the production team, including the general contractor and producer who hold key positions in the concert, qualifications and experience are the primary considerations.
The general contractor of this concert has more than 30 years of experience in the concert industry in Greater China, and has held more than 600 concerts. In recent years, it has also organized nearly half of the concerts in the Red Pavilion.
The concert producer also has rich experience, and has been conceiving and designing concerts for many first-line singers and groups over the years.
We understand that the public has high expectations for MIRROR concerts, so we choose to hire a team that is regarded as the top in the industry, rather than choosing a cheaper non-first-line team, and cost is not our primary consideration.
3. Do your best to assist the injured
After the accident, we have been concerned about the three injured dancers Li Qiyan (A Mo), Zhang Zifeng (A Feng) and Luo Zhi (Zisac), and contacted them and their families to understand their needs, and promised to cover their medical expenses and Provide other assistance.
We will continue to communicate with them to provide appropriate support in all aspects.
We are also particularly grateful to Mo's father and his family for their willingness to communicate directly and sincerely with us many times. They also understand that the company is willing to provide medical and other assistance.
Everyone has only one common goal, which is to try their best to support Ah Mo on the road to recovery.
In addition, after the incident, we also met with the dancers and kept in touch with the dancers' representatives, and provided necessary assistance.
We are deeply sorry for the dancers affected by the incident. Dancers have always been our close partners. Like MIRROR, all dancers are an indispensable element in a wonderful performance. We promise to continue to support Hong Kong in all aspects. dancer.
4. The original intention remains unchanged
The company has been committed to promoting the direction and determination of Hong Kong's creative industries and performing arts, and this incident will not be affected.
The authorities are reviewing the supervision system for stage production to ensure the safety of performers. We will also learn from our experience and work harder to move forward.
In the past two months, we have carried out a review of the internal work process, consulted experts and third-party opinions, in order to improve the specifications of the working environment, so that the front and back teams can focus more on the work, make the work more soulful, and go further.
5. Grow together and protect MIRROR together
In these two months, the physical and mental health of MIRROR members is one of our most important tasks and responsibilities.
MIRROR debuted through the national star-making, starting from scratch with us, growing together, and having a relationship with each other like family.
They have the heart to pursue their dreams, and we do our best to give them the greatest space, the strongest support, and the most resources.
From the first year to the fourth year, step by step, building together, bringing energy to their fans together.
This incident has dealt a heavy blow to the entire team of the company and MIRROR, especially seeing the trouble caused by the incident to MIRROR fans and the general public, our apology and sadness are beyond words.
In the future, we will continue to guard MIRROR and everything they represent, bring more hope and energy to the public, and respond to the expectations of the audience with practical actions.
