    Nerdy facts:
    1 Lay spent about 1.4M USD for this MV from his own pocket
    2 Lay promotes his own genre called M-pop, basically a fusion of Chinese trad music with modern music
    3 Lay made a lot of beat (he's a beatmaker), and I notice he loves trap a lot, like A LOT
    4 Lay made his music to introduce China's music to the world
    5 There are about 300-400 casts on the MV
    6 The MV has the starting storyline for his songs in this particular album. It centered around a classic, about a warrior called Xiang Yu (who fight alone because people are turning their back on him) and his beloved concubine (who kill herself after Xiang Yu was killed)
    7 Lay did a lot for this MV and album. If you see the credit title, you will find him as a lot of things, from executive producer to writer
    8 Lay and his crew learn krumping from a world krumping master for a month just to dance in the MV.

    I totally agree with you guys, Lit is not exactly a bop (and I’m sure that’s not what he intended it to be, he released ‘Boom’ soon after Lit to show us the definition of a bop). He mentioned how he wrote it to particularly pay tribute to traditional Chinese music. But like Zak mentioned, knowing Lay’s previous work, this video was such a powerful statement about who he is artistically. The line “taking China to the world” was enough of a statement to make this mv a solid 100.
    Also side note but I got so excited when your reaction dropped I spilled my drink. Thank you for this lovely content!

      I think this is a bop, I listen to it all the time, especially to hype myself up! Lay is the King of China for a reason. Also a little background Lit(Lian) means Lotus. He basically is using the mv to talk to his h@ters who call him a white Lotus(in a derogatory way). So he took the name and gave this Huge Power Move of a mv to say yea he is the Lotus, so what? If you listen to the whole album there is a song called Love Lay that says the Lotus grows from the mud. He's basically showing how his roots and how hard work made him who he is. I love him so much, he deserves more than the Whole world!

    As a curiosity, guys, Yixing is the best dancer in exo, at least in technique terms. He is soooo underrated for his skills. He is a beast with a impressionable body control. Kai is just, you know he really is The Dancer but Jongin in able to be the best center in the kpop industry. They both are insane dancers but I wish Yixing could be recognize as much as Kai, because talent, as you can see, he got
    Zhang Yixing is the top of the top in China. He is the face of his own country and his popularity and exo's popularity is the main reason why exo got the chineses market. No one can take this from them

And center position of Kai isn't the one you anyone can have, he is blessed with so much charisma. Its only his.

As for me, there are times I was so amazed of Kai and there are also times I was so amazed of Lay. Love them both. No wonder these two are my biases.

    The story in the "Lit" MV, Lay said, is based on his favorite Chinese historical figure. In the MV he is portraying a Chinese general who has been trapped by the Han soldiers while trying to rescue his wife. The general is a real historical figure named Xiang Yu, who fought in the battle of Gaixia. In the beginning of the MV you hear a Peking opera singer performing “The Song of Gaixia” which is a song that Xiang Yu composed for his wife, Lady Yu, who eventually took her own life. (Fun fact: In Lay's song "Jade" which is a song also on this album, the story is supposed to be about Lady Yu and Xiang Yu's love story.)
    Everything about this song and MV is a poetic, cinematic masterpiece. For example, the word Lotus in Chinese sounds a little like Lit in English. (Another play on words, just like the Chinese pronunciation of Jade sounds like Yu or you in English, which Lay cleverly used in his song "Jade." Get it? Jade = Yu and Jade = you.) Lay used lotus (Lit) as a metaphor for no matter how hard people try to bring him down, he will stand strong and survive through anything the world throws at him, like a lotus flower. The Lotus often represents purity. The Lotus is special because it grows in the mud, but out of the most dirty and unforgiving conditions, blooms one of the most beautiful flowers. The Lotus is a famous symbol in Chinese culture and it often represents how something good and pure can grow and triumph despite what you would think are unforgiving conditions.
    Lay has said that the idea for "Lit" comes from the fact that his haters have been calling him "White Lotus," which refers to someone who acts innocent, and uses it for his gain and plays the victim all the time. So when he wrote the song he took that negativity and embraced it and turned it into something positive. So, in other words, he is saying: "You thought you could bring me down, but you are wrong. I am not a fake white lotus, but I am a true lotus who is LIT. I am more powerful then you know and I will rise above all your negativity and show you how I grow even stronger and more beautiful no matter how much mud and dirt I have to go through," etc.
    The dragon is a very powerful symbol in Chinese culture and it is even said that if you are Chinese you are a descendant of the dragon. Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize vitality, strength and good luck. In one interview I read, Lay also talked about how he has two dragons inside him -- a good dragon and a bad dragon. He said he always chooses to listen to the good dragon. The good dragon is the one who is protecting him and helping him through all his hardships and difficult times. So the main theme of "Lit" is about fighting his inner self and learning to ignore and overcome the people who are trying to knock him down.
    Lay (Zhang Yixing) is the Chinese member and one of the main dancers of the super famous Kpop group EXO. And, as you can see, he is also a very famous solo artist and dancer in China and internationally. He has also been given the title as China's national producer and youth ambassador by the Chinese government.
    Lay is is a singer, rapper, songwriter, composer, producer actor, director, editor, dancer, designer, etc. -- genius -- and with every new release of his, he just one ups himself. And "Lit" is a prime example of that.
    As you noticed, if you study the credits, you see that this MV was produced by Zhangyixing Studios, which is named after Lay -- he owns the studio. So, the credits show, Lay has his hand in almost every aspect of this production. It's his name you will see dozens of times in the credits. He is the one that wrote and composed the song, he even produced the beat himself. He is his own beat-maker. He is also executive producer, he came up with the storyline, he helped choreograph and he helped direct the MV, etc. But that's normal for Lay's solo work With Lay, when you ask who did it? -- for any part of the song, MV or choreography -- you are pretty much guaranteed that the answer is: Lay. He does it all. He is such a perfectionist that there is almost nothing that he is involved in that he doesn't have 100% control of himself. He prides himself in the fact that all aspects of his music are created by him.
    This MV took more than 6 months to make and more than $1.2 million to produce. And it was all done by Lay.
    They actually filmed at one of the largest and most well known film studios in China. What you saw was the real temple. No Screenshots. The dragon was CGI, but the rest of the set is all real.
    You should really check out the making of film th-cam.com/video/x_K39ntCEXw/w-d-xo.html and Lay's dance practice for "Lit." th-cam.com/video/9Yefy6iw0As/w-d-xo.html to really see how things were made.

    The Chinese title is "Lien" which translates to "lotus", hence all the lotus imagery, which I'm sure Lay is using visual metaphor for him "blooming" or rising to success despite the "mud"/different obstacles he's faced in his career.

    • @huongtran-wl6iz
      @huongtran-wl6iz 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      no is not about him showcasing his success of his careers. he is attacking his haters that they nick name him as ‘lian’ which mean lotus in chinese - the modern slags words for lian are referring someone look/act innocent&pure but inside they are not what they looks, saying he is fake basically. so the meaning of lotus in this MV have two meaning - 1. lian pronounce like Lit in english, he use double meaning in same word, so he saying oh you call me lian, well look at me now, i am lit. the song lyrics/rap are replying to his haters if you listen to it carefully or read the lyrics some part he said lit but some part is lian in chinese. fyi couple years ago he won acting award and he got emotional and said although he won acting award he would like people to listen to his music and he dream were to take the music to the world one day, this is happened before his first album lose control release. the haters mocked him and laughed at him on that particular incident saying that let’s concentrate successful in your own country let alone taking your music to the world, his big ambition will not come true. so now with this song he reply to the haters ‘ music is my arena and i will take china to the world’, ‘i am the (music) king, kiss my ring’ 2. lotus is flower that chinese cultures use a lot throughout history for religion and philosophy, is represent a person diligent and pure heart no matter how bad the environment they still survive, grow out from dirt as a elegant and beautiful human being like the lotus. the song has a lot of metaphor and hidden meaning- for instance the big drum is a drum back in the days they used to play during the war battle, signal of flighting, he added the drum beat in the song. the witch present his haters, the dragon is represent his fan xingmi / Xback.

    Khadija talking about representation of Asian culture in western media, specifically Chinese culture, was so meaningful. I, as a Chinese-American, don't feel like I know nearly enough about Chinese culture, just caricatures and stereotypes of it enforced by non-Chinese media. Obviously, Lay's music video wasn't exactly accurate representation of everyday life in China (💀) but it was still entrenched in the culture, with the opera it was based on and the architecture and all the symbols and even instruments in the song, and it was gorgeous. Taking China to the world, indeed, Lay Zhang.

    I love this mini-movie from Lay. The opening reminds me of Jet Li’s Hero. It’s based on the story of a legendary Chinese Emperor. Don’t be surprised if you show up in a Lay video as he watches all reactions to his mv’s and picks some to include in a “Lay Reacts to Reactions” vídeo.

He's been really interested in Krump lately and has been learning it diligently that he has become REALLY good in this style. I love it when he is in to something he puts his 100% ALL IN. LOVE YOU GUYS. ALSO PLEASE LISTEN TO SOME OF HIS OLDER STUFF ITS REALLY GOOD WELL EVERYTHING HE PUTS OUT IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!!! :)

I understand why some people wouldn’t make it a playlist since the song it self is great but the MV is what attracts most people. I, however, loved everything from the song to the MV. I hope Lay keeps getting the recognition he deserves. ♥️ Lay alongside Suho, Baekhyun, D.O. And Chanyeol are my biases “Yes all 5 lol”.

    Above all, I think we can see how much effort and how much care Lay put into this video and album (which you should give a chance because it’s amazing). You can really tell that he is proud of his culture and it comes through in his music. He never fails to impress me. You’re definitely right you don’t really see this kind of artistry nowadays. I’m glad that I made the choice to step outside of the Western music industry because it has led me to Lay. I can’t wait to see what else he has in store for us. Thank you for giving him a chance/view/listen. 💙
