@@carlbiscuits5085 I think because everything has happened in the world is effecting him so when he made this comment it was about BLM but the person underneath was just talking about a reaction which was disrespectful.
#blacklivesmatter Can we all just pray for those families that have lost loved ones and raise awareness to everything that's been happening regarding police brutality :(
Lay was probably the makeup artist, set designer, stunt coordinator, security, caterer, hair stylist, director, producer, in charge of lighting and special effects and head of wardrobe! Everything Lay!
The other name for this song is 莲, or Lotus. You can see a lot of lotus references and imageries in the MV. In China, there is a slang "White Lotus," referring to those that play innocent, acting nicely in front of others to get benefits, and then talk shit and stab them behind their backs. Lay's antis often refer to him as a "white lotus" because they think he's fake. There's also a Chinese metaphorical saying about Lotus being, 出淤泥而不染 (which he used in the lyric of this song), which means growing and living in the mud/silt but not being stained or dyed by it, referring to the world vs him as a person and his goal and dreams. He used what was targeted at him, turn it around, made it positive, and made a fire song. Also, the Chinese refer to themselves as 龙的传人 or “Descendents of the Dragon”, and every emperor in China was considered 真龙天子 or "The Heavenly Son of the Dragon."
let's thank raffy for providing us with content through these crazy times he's there to make us laugh and using his platform to speak up against injustice. no words can express how saddening this is and how humans can be so evil but we will stand together all the way. Thank you raffy for everything that you do and you are very much appreciated. we love you.
Lay is such an amazing artist. He works so hard. He just outdone himself yet again. The best MV for 2020 for me tbh. I hope Lay reacts again to your reaction! Coz you are one of the most funniest Kpop reactors.
I wonder if anyone noticed that his background dancers (not sure what to call that someone clarify please) are black, multiple ones too. He really chooses skill/talent over race, and it's admirable since this is a heavily ancient Chinese themed MV. Not many can do that......
The MV was filmed 6 months ago at Zhejiang Hengdian World Studios in China, the world’s largest outdoor film studio. More than a hundred background actors were a part of this MV. He personally spent $1.4M for the overall production. The company that made the effects for the Lit MV is Dexter Studios. This is the first time that they have produced a music video as they usually make movies, such as the Oscar-winning "Parasite." The word 莲 "lian" (which sounds like lit in chinese) means LOTUS. The slang the haters used to say to him is 白莲花 (bai lian hua) which means someone who is pure in appearance, but opposite inside. But lotus is a holy and pure image in Chinese history which is not a small thing like those haters said. The bad metaphor happens these years from some ignorant and stupid people. He speak highly of it and correct the reputation for it as irony to the haters. Another thing is that there's an old metaphor about lotus: 出淤泥而不染 (which he used in the lyric of this song), which means growing and living in the mud/silt but not being stained or dyed by it, referring to the world vs him as a person and his goal and dreams. He used the 2 different sides of the word lotus. The overall MV is based off of Lay’s favorite Chinese historical figure fighting oppression. The MV is the portrayal of a Chinese General’s entrapment by the Han soldiers while trying to rescue his wife. The general named Xiang Yu, who fought in the battle of Gaixia. The voice in the 1st 1min of the MV is actually the voice of a Peking opera artist singing “The Song of Gaixia” which the General composed for his wife Lady Yu (potrayed in Lay’s song, Jade) who later took her own life Lay released his semi-autobiographical book “Independent 24” or "Standing firm at 24." In the book, Yixing talked about how he thinks he has 2 dragons inside him, the good & the bad. He always listens to the good one, which the dragon protecting him and helping through the difficulties. Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, strength, and good luck. This could be the reference to the dragon from the mv is helping him to fight the enemies
3:40 Yes Lay we're looking at you. 😳😭 Seriously though. I think he looks a whole 'nother level of *FINE* in this shot. Like, that's my new desktop wallpaper. 😅
Seriously you're the only one youtubers reaction that I never bored to watched even you have so many pause but i never bored😍 Thanksssss for your reaction to Lay❤
Was just literally watching your reaction as a marathon started feom 3 yrs ago since this morning hahaha. Ur so precious ❤ LAY OFCOURSE NEVER DISAPPOINTS 🥺
Hahaha, you so passionate. Like your reaction to Lay's new song. He is truly amazing. I love Lay very much. He is from my favourite Kpop group EXO. I love them. Will follow you for your reaction on EXO n Lay.
Well "Shenlong" (神龙，means Holy Dragon) from Dragon Ball Z is just a typical Chinese dragon. So any Chinese dragon is like that, the dragon in this MV is a black dragon that represents Holiness and nobleness in Chinese culture, as black was considered the most noble color in the first unified Dynasty "Qin" in ancient China. That is also the time when the backstory of the MV took place. Nice reaction, fun and on point.
Raffy you literally are my medication to deal with the stress from the world right now. Thank you SO much for doing you in public and bringing much needed positivity and laughter to us all.x
I am not your typical viewer at all.... and I landed on your video by accident, and pressed play by accident and you got me hooked. I never laughed so hard in my life!!! You are a great entertainer and I am subscribing because I have watched a bunch of your videos already since yesterday and can't have enough... Thank you for the laughs... I need it in these rough times. Keep'em coming!!
I think this is the calmest i have acc seen raffy in a reaction. i think it was because he was so immersed in the mv. it RLLY was a lot to take in. The mv was really just WOWWWW!!!!!!!
Layshawn pulled a Jackson Wang movie production on us with all them credits lol 😆 I wish they would collaborate on a mv that would fire!! edit: Raffy you missed the two black dancers with Lay at the beginning.
I followed the links and signed. Thank you for sharing. You are awesome and I love what you do. We will get through this much stronger than before. Because we do matter.
thank you so much for the reaction. Lay is a member of EXO, this MV is masterpiece! He almost did everything by himself, he spent 1,4 million dollars for the MV, it takes 6 months. This album has been sold for 2 millions in 24 hours, in youtube the views may not that high but the views in Weibo now is about 40 million views.
For the double play on words here, I looked it up and the Chinese character “莲” (lián) means 'lotus'. In the MV there's many shots of a golden lotus slowly opening. The part where it sounds like he's saying "I am the lit", if you look at the subtitles it actually says "I am the 莲" or "I am the [lotus]". Lotus flowers (莲花/ lián huā) are important in Chinese culture, and they represent purity and righteousness. This is because the lotus grows into a beautiful, pure flower, all while sprouting in the mud- so it can represent silent strength in the face of adversity, purity, truth, and (the one I think Lay may be referring to) the idea that no matter what others see or think, all that matters is that YOU know that you are upright and just (I.e. in the face of slander, gossip, or rumors, you can still stand tall and proud because you know you have done nothing wrong). The meaning of lotus flowers is also prominent in Buddhism, which is important in Chinese culture as a whole. So I think he's saying that not only is he always standing tall with no fear, but that even when we worry, he still has silent strength. Just looking at the MV, it seems like a song where he's just saying he's 'Lit' (and that's not a bad thing, sometimes we just need a bop 😉), but there's also a deeper message behind it, and it not only makes it a lot more meaningful, but also shows us how much thought he put into it (as if that weren't obvious enough with the production value and his name over and over in the credits)- and how he tries to be sincere and genuine with us. He really is the sweetest ❤️
I recently found your channel and your reactions are me omg. I also was sipping my apple juice as you said you had your Apple juice and i KNEW I had to subscribe. I adore you!!!
