It highlights the rituals of burning incense, brewing tea, hanging paintings, and arranging flowers, showcasing the unique aesthetic and cultural pursuits of the era. The moon serves as a guiding thread, weaving through three chapters: waiting for the moon to rise, bathing in its gentle light, and gazing upon its serene beauty. Lead dancer Tong Liya embodies the tranquil grace of a moonlit night with her elegant movements and subtle emotional expressions. Dressed in silk gowns reminiscent of the Song dynasty, the dancers glide as gracefully as fairies beneath the moonlight. The plump petals of osmanthus flowers twirl freely in the air, gently and quietly falling to the earth. This performance vividly brings to life the verse: “During Mid-Autumn’s gentle eve, / Osmanthus flower petals fall in temple’s weave. / Buddha’s scent, serene and high, / Floats softly to the sky.”

Director’s Interpretation: The Mundane World is a timeless martial arts song, and in this music video, we seek to break from tradition by presenting it in a fresh and innovative light. We are honored to have young Yue Opera star Chen Lijun take on dual roles, embodying both male and female characters. Through her masterful artistry and expressive grace, the program captures the intricate emotions of love and hatred, as well as the myriad experiences of life in this mortal world.

《笑红尘》MV由一人分饰男女两个角色的设定，正是一种大胆的尝试和突破。这种创新不仅体现在角色设置上，还体现在对MV整体风格、视觉效果等方面的探索上。陈丽君作为越剧演员，本身就承载着传统文化的精髓。让她分饰男女两角，不仅能够展现传统艺术的魅力，还能够通过现代MV的形式吸引更多年轻观众的关注，实现传统文化的现代演绎。

This MV boldly ventures into new territory by having one actor portray both male and female roles, a groundbreaking approach that moreover explores the overall flair of the MV and introduces a new visual style. Chen Lijun, as a Yue Opera actress, is herself a bearer of the essence of traditional culture. By having her play both roles, this program not only celebrates the charm of traditional art but also seeks to captivate a younger audience through modern MV formats, achieving a contemporary interpretation of traditional culture.
