Because of Xiaolei's busy schedule in the past days she had actually forgotten that her music video had been set to be released last midnight. Yu Chen didn't remind it to her either this morning because she was rushing to leave. And that was why she had no idea on why everyone almost mobbed her like they were group of die-hard fans the moment she entered the company.
"Boss!! Oh god boss!!! It's a blast!! A blast!!!" her staffs exclaimed. They were extremely happy to the extent that they were jumping like excited little kids.
"A blast?" was all Xiaolei replied and everyone looked at her in disbelief.
"Boss, don't tell me you have forgotten that your music video was released last night." One of them said and Xiaolei gasped.
"Oh god!! That's right!!!" she began to yell while everyone facepalmed themselves. How could their lady boss forget it? What did she do last night to actually forget about her most awaited music video?
"I can't believe you actually forgot… never mind, come boss! Go and see for yourself!!"
The group of elevated employees then led her inside to show her the result of her masterpiece.
…
The music video entitled "Dream" was actually the song Xiaolei wrote about her and Yu Chen's story when they were young.
The MV started with a girl as beautiful as a painting waking up in the middle of a snowy yet magical forest. She was wearing a delicate white dress and a red scarf as she walked around the forest and started remembering the past. The memories she lost…
A little girl wearing the same red scarf walking alone, stomping on the snow like a little free spirit then came into her view. She followed and watched her until a pair of wolves appear before the little girl. And then, a boy came to save her.
The story went on so beautifully, capturing innocence and unconditional love. The dramatic music video that lasted almost seven minutes ended with the boy watching the girl leaving him behind as the song ended with these lyrics,
"That day we parted
I wished it's just a dream
Will I ever see you again?
Will destiny bring you back to me again?"
The music video wasn't only a blast in terms of views, it had touched many viewer's hearts that the comment box was flooded with nothing but praises.
"Oh my god! What did I just watch!!! I can't even construct the right word for this! This is sooo precious!! T^T"
"The music video brings out an element of pure, young love and tied it with a well-crafted story. I didn't expect this. The song is just so lovely and the story is superb, even better than most of the romance movies I watched! I wish someone could turn this into a movie."
"The song is so beautiful. It is addicting and its beautiful it made me cry. Ahh!! I cried when the little girl fell at the cliff!"
"Yeah, me too… I cried when she left him."
"They were so cute. T^T It's so heartbreaking seeing them fell apart in the end!!"
"This is the kind of song that people could keep on listening, a timeless song. Simply beautiful."
"The acting was well done!! The kids played innocent emotions very well, great casting choices!! And that girl in white, damn, who is she? Is she Xiao Mimi? Please confirm!!! She's a goddess!!"
"The MV is very well made and enthralling. The cinematography is beautiful and it had great lighting. I also love the fact that they featured birch trees very prominently in the end of the MV. It symbolizes renewal and purification. And in a certain welsh culture, birch trees symbolized love. Gosh, I just don't have anything but pure praise for this work of art. This deserve an award and a full movie please."
"Aww… this young love is so damn breathtaking and heartbreaking at the same time. I can't get enough!! I can't get over it!! And the song is stuck in my mind and soul!!"
"A healing music. Innocent pure love. What can I say? This is pure gem!"
"Honestly, this song is breath of fresh air. While every artist nowadays especially young singers focused on pop genres, Xiao Mimi went back to classic but timeless ballad style and it's pretty amazing of her to do that!! I simply love her and all her songs!! Go for it new queen!"
"Goddess Xiao Mimi!!! You're the queen of ballad!! I'm telling ya'll!! She's the new queen!!!"
"Please!! Part 2!!! What happened to them? I want to know what happened to the two lovely kids!!! Please please! If you can't make this into a movie, please give a part 2!!"
"Yes! Please part 2!! We, your fans are begging!!"
"Petition for this MV's part 2!!"
With that, Xiao Mimi had dominated the music charts with her official debut song. Her lead single "Dream" rose straight to number one as soon as it was revealed in music charts.
With the song's very beautiful lyrics and addictive melody, the media witnessed Xiao Mimi's rise. Especially when her song jumped over the country's reigning girl group.
The music industry was shocked. They had never thought that an anonymous girl who never even showed her face would rise to the top like a bullet. This was the level of success only monster pop groups or veteran singers could attain.
Once again, Xiao Mimi's mysterious power was proven. Numerous news outlets called her 'the mysterious princess of ballad' and 'the enigmatic future queen of ballad' because of her weird way of rising to stardom. She didn't even promote the normal way. After her music video released, there was still no news of her appearing in any of the music shows. Regardless of her still not showing up, Xiao Mimi had won over the hearts of people with her hit song and that unforgettable music video and the Xiao Mimi effect didn't look like it would fade anytime soon.
