Chapter 157: Let’s Make It an MV!
When those words came out, an earthquake of excitement rocked the entire Bilibili platform.
Moonlight dropped two major bombshells in that speech.
First, Moonlight and Cat were planning to shoot an MV, and they might even do a full-on live-action performance. And guess what? The album release might be just around the corner!
Second,
Tears welling up, it’s clear now why Moonlight Bro and Cat are on another level!
Soon after, the top comment lit up.
Wait a second, Moonlight Bro, you’re serious? You invited this guy who trash-talked you to a jam session?!
Unbelievable! I never doubt my favorite uploader! This move definitely broadens one’s horizon.
To be honest, Uncle Dong isn’t half bad with his violin. He just had to pick a fight this time, and hey, he got what he deserved!
Little did anyone know…
Everyone expected drama when Moonlight went at Zhang Dong to settle things. But instead, not only did Moonlight and Cat skip the chase, they actually invited this dude to be part of their MV!
It left people in awe.
Many were upset and frustrated, wishing they could see the clash they missed out on.
But many more couldn’t help but admire them for their magnanimity.
Man, achieving this level of composure is no easy feat.
Previously hostile netizens swarmed over to support Moonlight and Cat:
You’re too good, you guys aren’t your typical social media stars. Moonlight and Cat are cut from different cloth!
Honestly, I’ve never shown much interest in Moonlight and Cat until today. I’m officially a fan turned.
Haha, Dong bro must be grinning ear to ear seeing all this.
At the same moment,
Zhang Dong stared slack-jawed at Moonlight and Cat’s latest announcement on his computer screen.
He read each word several times, dumbfounded.
An MV together? A jam session?
Me, Moonlight Bro, and Cat?
With all his strength, Zhang Dong pinched his own leg so hard he winced in pain, confirming he wasn’t dreaming.
His idol didn’t punish him; instead, he was invited to the MV!
“I f*cking can’t believe this!”
For a moment, Zhang Dong felt overwhelmed with joy and frustration, his eyes welled up with tears.
Frustrated because he had offended Moonlight and now felt like a complete heel.
On his screen, Zhang Dong slapped himself twice, as if sealing a decision. Then he set up his camera again.
“Your followers grew by 70K just now?” Lin Tian remarked, staring at the Bilibili backend data amazed.
All thanks to a single post.
That’s all due to your generous spirit, dear Lin Tian.
That’s all thanks to you, Master Gan.
Junior looked relieved.
Tonight,
Even before Zhang Dong’s video took off, “One Step Away” was making waves on Douyin.
Fresh footage from outdoors with audiences, streets, and bookshops brought a new buzz.
The unusual setup made the piece stand out even more.
[Amazing! This atmosphere – I wish I could have seen it live! It would have been so fun!]
[I cried! That background, I know where that is – it’s near my house in Qingzhou. Why didn’t I pass by there that day? I missed meeting Moonlight and Cat!]
[The vibe is epic! My mind’s already dancing with Moonlight Bro and Cat… If I ever see such a scene live, I’ll faint from happiness!]
[If we turn this tune into a micro-movie or a setting with deeper meaning… it will surely go viral!]
This unexpected surge in popularity made Lin Tian ponder deeply.
Truth is, he had long dreamed of shooting music videos.
Unlike sitting stiffly, adding a story element could break barriers and better convey emotions, aligning well with his system tasks.
So, Lin Tian mulled over shooting this track as his first MV.
After thinking it over, Gan Yan Yu asked,
“Not feasible unless we use more than just the two instruments, right?”
Given the video format, instrument diversity is key.
The usual duo setup might lack appeal when turned into an MV.
In fact.
Gan Yan Yu re-read the score. She noticed a certain section might thrive with a violin.
“If we add in a tiny violin bit.”
Lin added.
Striking the right chord.
Indeed.
“That said…”
She nodded.
As per her musical intuition, adding a violin could elevate the piece.
So.
“Do you think we should invite that violinist?”
Gan questioned.
“Uh, sure. He understands our music quite well.”
Lin carefully suggested it, unsure if she’d be cool with it.
“It’s fine, I guess…”
“Wait, aren’t you…?”
Her memory of chasing off someone with the cello flashed in her mind.
Frankly, Lin was relieved if not happy about this.
Even if she wasn’t on board, he’d just go digital.
“I am a tad hesitant, though,” she whispered.
“But for Rilin to express his music better, I’ll endure… Besides, I’m eager to try filming an MV with you.”
Lin’s cheeks flushed slightly,
“Okay then.”
With her okay, Lin dared to suggest the plan.
Rather than Lin’s generosity, it felt more like Gan made the concession.
As for Dong’s online snubs…
They hadn’t taken it to heart.
If anything, Lin found it intriguing, an opportunity to shape a persona.
Who knew how Dong would respond?
Nonetheless, it was Lin’s cue to start planning this MV!
