During the first 2 minutes of the show, the Earth globe's LED screens are off. It is brown in colour, but invisible in the thick black of the night. The Earth Globe's LED screens turn on in part 2 of the show, showing famous TV broadcasts of the world. In part 2's ending, all 20 torches light up. Then after that, the Earth Globe shines in white and begins to blossom like a flower, revealing a torch in its center. Then, 1000 fireworks shells are ignited by air compression, instead of black powder. When the show ends, the fires on 20/21 of the torches keep burning, but the Earth Globe's torch is put out. During holidays, you can actually see the Earth Globe resemble its spear shape.
