Chapter 501: MV card points all over the Internet
Chapter 501
Nan XiangWan: "Original."
Jing Da Shuai: "Was it retro or traditional style?"
Monica: "Wild?"
Xiao Dong: "Get serious! This is the finals!"
Under the shouts of the little assistant, the two stylists finally started to focus and continued working on the outfit designs.
Today\'s theme is traditional-style original!
Nan XiangWan also finally closed her eyes to rest and prepare for the upcoming performance.
...
And at 6pm prime time tonight, Hua Wan Entertainment released a pinned post together with South-North Entertainment!
Not only that, the official accounts of major music platforms also released Nan XiangWan\'s new song and MV right on the dot!
The busiest time on weekend nights with the highest traffic.
Before Sword Grave appeared on the live stage, it exploded all over the internet!
This was planned together by both entertainment companies for co-management.
Nan XiangWan is the pillar of Hua Wan Entertainment, so they promoted her with full force.
She is also the signature artist of the girl group Destiny Girls under South-North Entertainment. They needed to promote her solo single even harder.
Destiny Girls debuted just half a year ago, but has already gone through many storms. Under various hidden attacks, their path has been bumpy.
But because of Nan XiangWan\'s powerful talent and skills, the attackers don\'t even dare to say bad things about them now. This has also allowed Destiny Girls to keep striding forward towards the peak - they are now the number one girl group in China!
The next goal is the world stage!
Countless fan groups rushed in to listen while watching the MV. The anticipation!
When seeing the song title, many people gulped.
Sword Grave? Is this related to Sword Dance somehow?
The MV\'s opening scene quickly gave everyone the answer...
In front of the nameless stele amidst the bleak autumn wind, an armored figure walked up and drew out the general\'s long sword.
Soil and fallen leaves scattered around, all withered and yellow.
Behind at the fork in the road, a war horse stood proudly, waiting for its general.
The heavy hoofbeats kept pounding the earth, as if it couldn\'t wait any longer.
The general sheathed his sword, mounted his horse, pulled the reins, and the war horse neighed as they charged towards the battlefield.
Very crisp, clean movements!
There was war in the north, the country was unstable and the people were uneasy.
The general who had disappeared for five years was missing. He was cursed by all living beings for abandoning them to save a woman.
If the general was still around, how could the borders bleed so terribly?
The Zhenguo Soldiers were still desperately fighting and not retreating, but with no leader, casualties were extremely heavy!
Cede territory, seek marriage alliances, send supplies...
But still no peace could be found!
The Zhenguo Soldiers marched out again, defending the last border city in the north.
This time, either the enemy would sweep through all the way to the capital and eliminate the country, or they would die here one by one, sacrificing themselves on this land.
No one felt our army could win, because we had already lost too much.
Morale had long been destroyed.
But just as the decisive battle was about to start, a war horse came charging from the distance.
As the dust cleared up, the camera zoomed in - the figure on horseback wore that familiar armor, and held the sword in the same stance as five years ago.
The adjutant on the city wall widened his eyes and yelled, "Is that the Zhenguo General?!"
The figure made no reply, only taking out a medal from his chest and raising it high.
The warriors atop the high wall erupted into cheers!
The general has returned!
They will definitely win!
There was no time to enter the city. The enemy troops were already within a kilometer, and even the civilians inside the city walls could hear the approaching rumbles.
The clanking iron cavalry marching closer and closer, trampling the people\'s dignity and courage into pieces.
Just then, the general pulled the reins and the war horse immediately turned around.
The horse neighed!
Shing—!
The general unsheathed his long sword, reflecting light.
The war horse shook its head proudly in coordination.
Across the way was an endless incoming black tide of densely-packed men. But this one man and one horse showed not a shred of retreat, as if possessing the momentum of thousands of soldiers and horses!
All our warriors charged out and started arranging the troop formation.
No need to defend!
Attack!
At this moment, the camera first pulled back to show the whole battlefield with the two armies colliding into each other.
Then it quickly zoomed in to a close up under the general\'s helmet.
That was an extremely calm pair of eyes, but with a hint of feminine grace not belonging to the general.
However, this close up only lasted one second before flashing by.
Quick-handed viewers hurriedly took screenshots, while slower viewers didn\'t even have time to react before it was gone.
Next was the melee combat.
The general alone with his horse and sword began slaughtering in all directions!
Soon, the reorganized soldiers were fired up with high morale. They followed closely in the general\'s footsteps pressing forward.
Kill the enemy! Defend the city!
In the intense battle, the general was struck by a long spear!
Clang—! Loud, grating metallic friction sounded as the helmet flew up and dropped to the ground.
At the same time, the music of the entire MV intensified, with war drums and horns blasting.
Every viewer held their breath closely watching without daring miss any detail!
The next scene circled 360 degrees before settling on the dismounting general.
His shoulder-length hair fluttering mid-air, eyes as sharp as an eagle\'s, emanating absolute calmness and an unshakable conviction!
But... it\'s a woman?!!
The surrounding soldiers were totally shocked. Their general had somehow changed into a woman!
But on the battlefield there was no time for any feelings, only relentless fighting without retreat.
The dismounted general was still unstoppable. Her rising and falling sword reaped one enemy life after another!
Her horse was also fighting, accumulating more and more wounds and becoming bloodstained.
Every frame of the intermediate fight scenes was real - especially the one-against-two with the two masked enemy warriors. It was wonderfully spectacular, the macro view of the battle comparable to blockbuster films, all condensed into just a few intense minutes.
Finally at the end, the gender-swapped general supported herself on both hands, unleashing a whip kick.
Sand sprayed sharply towards the camera lens!
What followed was the scene that made both cameramen and directors hit tables in awe.
The battered war horse lifted its head high with a long cry.
The general propped herself up, eyes filled with fierce light.
Blood streamed down her forehead all the way to her chin, dripping onto the earth one drop at a time.
The end—!
Feng Kai Ji chose this as the final scene for Sword Grave\'s MV, freezing for a good few seconds to shock countless stunned viewers.
Too awesome!
After the absolute combat power display, there was still such a visually impactful scene!
And Nan XiangWan looks so freaking badass in this moment!
Here Sword Grave\'s story ends, picking up after Sword Dance - someone did die, but it wasn\'t the female lead. Rather, it was the general.
Five years later, the female lead inherited the general\'s will and returned to lead the army on the battlefield!
The barrage of bullet comments were already flying wildly with countless male and female fans shouting "Hubby!".
Some observant people also noticed that the two masked warriors were so powerful too - not only fighting evenly against Nan XiangWan, but even able to catch her solid kick barehanded!
Damn awesome!
Stop covering your faces and let us see who are the handsome fellows!
