The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 71

The next few days.

During the day, Nan XiangWan practiced for the upcoming concert performance, and at night she did her homework through video chats with her younger brother.

She was tortured to death by math, physics and chemistry!

There was one thing she couldn't figure out.

What kind of crazy nerve made her choose science?

It's too difficult!!!

You really can't learn this stuff well without some natural talent for logic!

Memorization is completely useless!

Even her brother was frustrated trying to tutor her. If it wasn't for her parents smiling and watching over the video chats after they got off work, Nan XiangWan would have blown up!

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and there were only two days left until the third concert.

At 8pm,

Gu Beihuai and Nan Bei Entertainment's official Weibo accounts simultaneously released a post.

【Sword Dance MV】

Instantly the entire Weibo exploded!

Last month, Gu Beihuai had unexpectedly released a new song, sparking an audio trend.

The song Sword Dance was really good!

Today the MV was finally released, and Gu Beihuai's fans were all sharpening their knives, impatiently waiting.

They eagerly clicked to watch!

The 3 minute 37 second long video started with scenes of an ancient town, bridge and scenery.

Feng Kaiji, the internationally acclaimed director, beautifully portrayed the hand-painted ink wash aesthetics, instantly setting the artistic mood.

Next, the camera turned,

Showing a young girl jogging onto the bridge, turning back and smiling.

Below the bridge was an awkward but determined looking young man.

Wait for me! When I return I will marry you!

Okay, I'll wait for you.

The two gazed at each other from afar across the bridge, speaking their firmest vows.

Conveying a feeling of first love, perfectly depicting the restrained love of that era.

Then the scene switched.

At the same time the chorus burst out urgently!

City walls, wedding dress, sword

In the quickly changing scenes, Nan XiangWan in a red dress gracefully and swiftly wielded a long sword.

With each strike, the sorrow in her eyes grew deeper.

Around her, the enemy and allied armies battled ceaselessly.

The city gates were lost!

The camera zoomed in dramatically!

With a piercing sound,

A large bloodstain spread across her chest.

Her body swayed unsteadily.

At this moment, the urgent music of Sword Dance abruptly paused.

It changed to a melodious, sorrowful guqin melody.

The camera suddenly pulled back.

In the scene, Nan XiangWan fell downward.

That splash of red, bright and eye-catching!

Then the sound of galloping hooves!

A figure in golden armor rode in, stirring up clouds of dust.

The two embraced as they sped by, the wind billowing the red robes!

The camera and music paused perfectly on this scene.

Vibrant robes, spirited steed!

After watching the MV.

Some fans were moved to tears, the plot wasn't actually that outstanding, even a bit cliche.

But it was so well made!

The cinematography, that heartrending scene.

Amazing!

Especially the suppressed love from earlier, the long wait.

To the final emotional outburst!

Too moving!

Almost instantly, the MV shot to the top of trending searches.

【Sword Dance MV】(Explode)

With the popularity of the Heavenly King Gu Beihuai, and an MV that moved many to tears, it exploded!

Comments:

This is amazing! So well made!

Big brother as the youth doesn't feel out of place at all! As the general he's heroic and majestic!

I was disdainful before, what kind of newbie like Nan XiangWan could make something good, but it's actually delicious! Really well done!

That last scene was amazing! Amazing! Vibrant robes, spirited steed!

I'm crying to death wow wow wow!

So did the female lead die in the end?

Did she die? Die or not? Die or not? Die or not?

I ask the same, did the general arrive in time? Did he save her? Die or not?

Tell us plainly if the female lead died! I'm dying from anxiety!

Seeing the comments suddenly go off topic.

And a large number of fans flooded director Feng Kaiji's Weibo asking.

They had OCD!

They just wanted to know plainly if the female lead died in the end?!

Tell us! Hurry! I'm ready to punch something!

Feng Kaiji was appreciating the results of his filming, and kept nodding at the audience feedback.

Good, very good!

This MV will win awards!

Then he saw the barrage of comments on his Weibo?

Feng Kaiji spit out his drink!

The comments were all asking die or not

Before long, the MV filming team also released some behind the scenes footage.

Including the scene of Nan XiangWan in red robes leaping down without any safety protection!

Comments:

F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!

For real jump?!

Are my eyes deceiving me? So high, without even a mat? Seriously? It can't be a stunt double right?

Even if it was a stunt double I don't think they could do this! But the video is so clear, it's obviously Nan XiangWan herself jumping!

You can hear the director and staff screaming in shock

Holy sh*t! Too dangerous! Nan XiangWan is really daring?!

Thankfully Gu Beihuai arrived in time, scared me to death!

Wah wah wah! This brick kneels in gratitude for brother Gu Beihuai's lifesaving grace! Scared to death!

Our NanWan's mind doesn't work well, she doesn't know to take proper safety measures before jumping, thank Gu Beihuai brother for protecting her!

This brick kneels in gratitude to Heavenly King Gu Beihuai's lifesaving grace!

At this time of night.

Nan XiangWan was video chatting her younger brother to do homework as usual.

In the middle of working hard, several trainees suddenly rushed in.

Nan XiangWan! Ah ah ah! Did you die in the end or not?

Not if Nan XiangWan died, but if the MV female lead died in the end or not?

Nan XiangWan did you really jump? Holy crap did you land on the armor?

Did it hurt? Did it hurt? No, die or not? Die or not?

The trainees had lots of OCD sufferers who couldn't hold back, and rushed to ask the main character directly.

The cameraman had set up the equipment and stared at them: Where did you get those phones?

The chattering voices suddenly died down, and they scattered and ran.

Crap!

They were supposed to surrender their phones, but after recording so many days, they got bolder and started hiding phones in various ways.

Just like cats chasing mice!

At this moment, under normal circumstances the trainees shouldn't know about the MV release.

Running over now to ask Nan XiangWan, wasn't this exposing themselves?

As for Nan XiangWan having a phone, that was specially permitted for her daily video classes and homework!

Live chat comments:

Hahahahaha! Did the trainees forget there was a cameraman in the room?

This is a livestream hahaha!

The way they scattered and ran is killing me!

Just like a bunch of rats rushing into a cat's den!

The cameraman is amazing too, usually invisible and silent, suddenly speaking up scaring people hahaha!

So did the female lead die in the end or not?

Getting stabbed in the heart, she must have died right?

But the male lead rushed back right? So she shouldn't have died right?

She definitely died! Even if he rushed back, her heart was stabbed!

The livestream chat also circled back to debating die or not.

You really have to admire this generation's fans for their persistence!

Nan XiangWan hasn't gone online to check yet herself, she was still immersed in the sea of homework!
