Haha, Lay is telling a dream in dream (or even more layers of dreams) vs. reality. Some inteprete that it looks like it is asking you to take your mask off, actually the protaganist is talking to the deeper mind of himself to take his own (iron) mask off before he has the capability to chase and love others. BTW, that game is Majhong, the silver Majhong tile in the beginning of the MV says East 東 (title of his EP released last year), and the tile in the end says West 西（title of EP released this year in September）. That special and interesting sound your hear in the scene where he walks in a bamboo forest is actally from wooden fish (or wooden bell, typically used by monks in a Budda temple). Lay's music is always full of interesting details!
Lay used Chinese traditional instruments, one of it just sounds like PingPang as you heard. Generally it is used in traditional opera in China, but it sounds so good in this song. Lay is creative.
I really love how you paying attention for details on every reaction (especially when you in a good mood haha). Many other reactionaries just watch something and wanna views and likes, but you really into it. And as a musician I'm really happy that you can hear amazing production and interesting musical decisions in K-pop and C-pop. Thank you!
It is awesome that you noticed the "Ping Pong" sound from the first hearing! It's actually Mu Yu which is a Buddhist wooden percussion instrument normally used by monks during Chanting. Lay's music is always full of vivid details which brings you fresh discoveries every time you listen.
In Lay's "Veil" MV, I think the silver tiles we see are silver Mahjong tiles. Which is a game that is made up of tiles a little like dominos. Lay's just happen to be extra fancy silver to show his status, etc. On one tile you see the Chinese character for East, which is his previous album that "Flying Apsaras" is on, and another was the Chinese character for West, which is his current album title. On one of Lay's first solo albums Sheep, he has a song called "Mask" and it's all about striving to keep on the right path and to accomplish his goals even in the face of adversity, as he struggles to be accepted and understood. It's about not letting others influence your choices when you know the direction you are headed is right and to believe in yourself, etc. So an alternate message in "Veil" could be that he is now taking the mask off and he no longer has to hide who he really is because he has accomplished some of his goals and he is learning what path he needs to take in order to find the success that he is looking for, etc. Or he is telling others that they should be brave enough to take the mask off, etc. Check out this clip of Lay on the survival reality competition show Idol Producer, where he explains to a group of trainees the meaning behind "Mask," ruclips.net/video/6OOiszMmrN0/видео.html. Lay has also posted two dance practice videos for "Veil". You are in for a treat when you check them out. The MV was the English version of the song, however, in his first "dance practice"/performance video you can hear the Chinese version of the song. Lay has branded his style of music as M-Pop, which he says stands for mixed-pop, meaning that he combines traditional Chinese sounds and instruments, like you hear in this song, with modern hip-hop and pop beats and styles, to create a style all his own. And he showcases traditional forms of dance by combining them with modern dances in order to bring Chinese/Asian/Eastern culture to the world in a new way. As with everything Lay does, this whole song, MV and choreography was created by him. Once again, he wrote and composed and produced this song and the whole album himself, including the English lyrics. He even created the beats himself. And he also helped choreograph and direct the MV, etc. When it comes to Lay's solo work he pretty much does it all himself. He has a hand in all aspects of his solo projects. And that is why he is known as China's national producer. Lay started out learning how to dance as a trainee when he signed with SM at the age of about 17. According to him, at that time he wasn't a very good dancer and it took him a lot of hard work and time to get to the level that he's at today. Now he has become one of the BEST dancers in China that EVERYONE looks up to. As you may have noticed, currently Lay's favorite style of dance that he has been focusing a lot of his training on is Krump. Lay is regarded as an industry expert that pretty much all other dancers and musicians look up to -- he has even been credited with making Krump a mainstream dance style in China, and he is one of China's leading experts when it comes to Krump. (Lay's Krump teacher is Trix who is from Korea and is considered one of the best Krumpers in the industry.) However, he started out by learning popping and locking as a trainee with SM. But because of his drive to constantly be learning new things, he is always striving to learn as much as possible and to be as diverse as possible about all styles of dance and cultures. Lay is such a good dancer because he literally is in the dance studio practicing for 6 hours EVERYDAY. (In an episode of Street Dance of China 4 last year, where he competed with and against some of the best dancers from around the world as a team captain, he specifically said "I practice for 6 hours everyday." And he meant he does it regardless, no matter how busy he is or what he has going on. He even finds time to practice during filming for reality shows that have nothing to do with dance.) I have seen in a documentary TV show called Only 3 Days, ruclips.net/video/V0jjBXQKhk4/видео.html, where he starts his day around 4 a.m., he gets done with his schedule of events around 9 p.m. and then he spends from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. in the dance studio with his dance mentor dancing. You should check out this show, it's a great way to see exactly how hardworking and dedicated he really is. When Lay says you need to have balance and work hard to be good at anything, he means it. That is what he strives to do, and that is why he is considered one of the top dancers in China. That's also why he was given the title of the nation's producer by the Chinese government, and why he has been a mentor/dance instructor and main PD for several Idol trainee survival competition shows in China. (These are programs similar to American Idol, where trainees compete to be chosen to become members of a new idol group.) He is pretty much considered an expert when it comes to dance and performance, and he is beginning to gain the respect of songwriters, composers and music producers from all over the world. He is who everyone, especially in China, looks to as an example of what it takes to be an Idol. He is literally considered one of the most successful celebrities in China.
>>he starts his day around 4 a.m >>and then he spends from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m So he's sleeping like 2 hours every day? It's... impossible. I watched that doc too btw. Gosh, just have no words.
@@citizenerrased Yeah I know, he works too hard. And doesn't rest enough. It was even more sad when a day or so later he said he actually got a lot of sleep that day sleeping like 4 or 5 hours. Still not enough.
I hope you can check out more Lay! ruclips.net/video/58uTmG5mDuI/видео.html this is a song off his album Producer, an album he said he made to show what it means to be a producer. This song is about his home town Changsha. I think you might like it!
