19 Immersive MV reaction
At 5pm on the quiet day of October 17th, Kaleido’s first album “origin” was released, which included two songs: “God penalty” and “Butterfly”.
An hour later, the main track had 46 likes and 206 listens, failing to make it into Melon's real-time Top 100. On YouTube, the main track's music video had 20,000 views. By comparison, on some Chinese apps, the music video's real-time online viewership reached over 1,000.
An hour ago, Tanya and many fans watched the MV on time.
At the beginning of the MV, a stunning red-haired boy in black clothes appeared in front of the camera. He appeared expressionlessly in a place with white walls on all sides, with clouds floating in the sky, and the word "Heaven" written in Korean appeared in the middle of the screen.
The camera follows him, and then four other "people" appear one after another. They are a blond boy with a large smiley face painted on his clothes, a black-haired man with a drooping mouth, a brown-haired boy who refuses to approach the others, and another black-haired boy who exudes a sense of terror from the moment he appears.
The five people were divided into two groups, and the brown-haired boy was alone on the other side. The impatient drum beats and the strange music made the video look very strange.
Soon, a white-bearded old man with a halo on his head appeared. He seemed very angry and pointed at them angrily. Then a black curtain appeared in the air out of thin air, and the five people fell down.
The first thirty seconds finally ended, and with music that missed a beat, Ming Shangyu's character, Sadness, appeared on the street. The cold, melancholic man caught everyone's attention, but everyone was in a hurry and chose not to stop and look. Soon, everyone on the street was immersed in sadness, some wailing, some stopping to cry, while the culprit quietly disappeared.
The music stopped, and then Anger, played by Park Yoo-eun, appeared in the cubicle, a place full of workers. They didn't seem to notice Anger's appearance. Just as Anger moved his finger, angry looks appeared on many people's faces. The tables and chairs were smashed, and someone grabbed the nearest colleague and punched him. Someone rushed into the office, throwing some things, and there were obvious sounds of fighting inside. A cup was thrown out and Anger caught it with a mischievous smile on his face, as if to say it was nothing.
Entering the chorus, everyone appears in an abandoned parking lot, dancing together with great momentum, and everyone repeats "emotional, emotional, emotional".
The camera shifts again to Shin Myung-hyuk's character, Happiness, appearing in a middle school classroom. All the students have heavy faces and frowns. Happiness, dressed in a school uniform, appears at the doorway, but they merely glance up, lost in their endless homework. Happiness, a little angel with a radiant smile, disappears from the classroom. The students look up, bewildered. Someone shouts, "School's over!" A smile breaks across the students' faces, and they cheer loudly. Some even stand on their desks, waving their clothes like flags.
Happiness watched all this with satisfaction and left.
To the throbbing beat of drums, Zhou Heyu's character, Hatred, appears in a sacred church, where a crowd obsessed with God prays, each face radiant with devotion. Among them are wealthy ladies, adorned with six-figure earrings. There are also ragged elders, their palms stained and their faces weary and weathered. They offer their most precious possessions—gold jewelry from the ladies, rice and flour from the elders—all as a tribute to the Lord they believe in. The Lord smiles from above, while behind them, a well-dressed middle-aged priest chats and laughs over a glass of wine.
Hetred stood on the Lord's head. With a slight noise, everyone woke up as if from a deep sleep. They looked confused as to why they were there, but after seeing the priest's ugly appearance, all their confusion turned into disgust and hatred. They rushed forward to push down the Lord's statue, stripped the priest of his clothes, and trampled on everything they once worshipped as a god.
The last character to appear is Fear, played by Song Qixian. He appears in a deserted area. A drunken man stands in his way. Fear doesn't back down, but steps forward. The man's face gradually turns red, and he huddles to the side of the road, his expression shifting from elation to fear. Fear's index finger touches the man's head, and then a look of amusement appears on his face.
When the man awoke, Fear was gone. He returned home, again beating and kicking his wife and young daughter. This time, however, his wife resisted, grabbing a knife from the kitchen. The image of her brandishing the knife gradually overlapped with the image of Fear in his memory. Sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and his knees buckled, dropping to their knees. The ticking of a clock filled the small room, and the confusion on his wife's face gradually gave way to determination as she saw her young child and her trembling husband.
At the end of the MV, the five people gathered together, but this time, they smiled at each other, as if the experience of coming to the world was very wonderful.
After watching the MV in one breath, Tanya knew that she had to work overtime again. She had to analyze the plot of the MV and then prepare the video for uploading.
"The five basic human emotions are happiness, anger, sadness, fear, and disgust, but modern people's emotions have gradually transformed into numbness, and so the story unfolds..."
She forwarded the link of the MV to her own fan group and @ed several friends who were marketing accounts.
Beet being Beet was the first to finish reading it and the first to express her support for Tanya.
Beet is beet: Yayayayayaya, the group you like is very good~ Come to my comment and I will add it to the favorites.
The well-known Korean entertainment marketing account Beet is not Beet reposted the MV for the debut song "God penalty" by Death Entertainment's new boy group Kaleido. Fans who have been following it clicked on it and were immediately attracted by the rich plot and handsome members.
[The songs are good, the actors are good-looking, the plot is awesome, is this a star from heaven?]
[I have to say that Beet's taste is as good as ever. I'm following her. So where is the big bar? Can I still buy the album now?]
[It seems the budget of this small company is quite limited, so they didn't spend much money on the entire music video. But the result is surprisingly good. I can only say that Koreans are still very capable in the entertainment field.]
Since when, #Kaleido 无限故事# has become a hot topic on the entertainment list.
Tanya was incredibly busy today. As Kaleido's biggest fan, she manages the online forum and shoulders the heavy responsibility of album purchases. Even with a small fan base and limited purchases, she also had to strive to avoid being mocked by rivals as a makeshift group. Furthermore, she also had to spend time writing articles, managing and maintaining her fan base, and so on.
Perhaps thanks to the marketing accounts, by the time Tanya noticed the trending search, it had already shot up dozens of spots, peaking at ninth. More and more people were coming to the super topic, and more and more new followers were asking for recommendations and asking about individual super topics. While Tanya was excited, a subtle worry welled up in her heart: her favorite group was becoming popular again, and she wondered if they would become the next to betray their trust.
That afternoon, Kaleido released a lot of materials on the official account of Bilibili, including album unboxing, support videos, and videos featuring members' reactions.
When I clicked on it, I saw five people sitting neatly in two rows, all wearing small headbands with "Happiness", "Anger", "Sadness", "Fear" and "Hetred" written on them.
The five of them stared intently, and when Park Yoo-eun appeared on camera, everyone exclaimed, "Wow!" Using a facade to attract viewers who accidentally clicked in is an old-fashioned but effective tactic.
"You are worthy of being the epitome of beauty. I also like your red hair, Yoo Eun. I want to dye it in the future." Shin Myung Hyuk flattered Park Yoo Eun, with a look of envy in his eyes that seemed real or fake.
Park Yoo Eun responded by banging the maknae's head twice.
As they continued watching, everyone couldn't help but laugh at themselves in all black. Zhou Heyu said disdainfully, "It looks like clothes that haven't been washed for eight hundred years. Are we going to wear this all the time in heaven?"
Park Yoo-eun retorted: "The one I gave you to wear is the stinkiest one." Her words were too provocative and successfully won Zhou Heyu's pursuit.
The plot of the MV has come to the human world, and since everyone has to act, the camera zooms in on everyone's expressions as they watch themselves acting.
For example, Park Yoo-eun was very proud of his performance. He is an expert at showing off his coolness, and his impromptu scenes can fully demonstrate his handsomeness. The subtitles are very pampering to him, saying "Beautiful child performs a colorful scene."
The worst actor was Zhou Heyu, who visibly paused when his scene appeared. But the most tactless was Park Yoo-eun, who blurted out, "You should switch roles with Minghyuk. You're so bad at such a complex scene."
Zhou Heyu had been scratching his nose in guilt the moment before. The director had explained the scene to him for a long time, but he simply didn't have the talent, so they had to do it several times before he could get it right. When Park Yoo-eun exposed the truth in public, he almost wanted to strangle her. Fortunately, Song Qixian held them, preventing a fight from breaking out during the recording session, as happened on their debut day.
When it came to Song Qixian's segment, he watched it particularly carefully. It was then that he realized that this was what his face looked like when it appeared on the screen.
Song Qixian's performance was the best. His acting wasn't naive, and while his performance was a bit exaggerated, it truly made people feel the fear that Fear brought. Especially as he stepped forward, there was an inhuman sense of terror.
Seeing something interesting, a cold smile appeared on his lips, but the upper half of his face was still filled with suffocating fear. He touched the disgusting man with his index finger, wiped it clean, and a little disgust appeared in his eyes.
The other four were amazed by his acting skills. Song Qixian's performance was out of place among them and was surprisingly good.
Ming Shangyu, who had been silent for the entire episode, said, "Masterpiece acting."
