Genshin Impact's character is “paired” in the MV of a famous group
The group mentioned here is Coldplay – British Rock band founded in London in 1996. Coldplay is famous for its Alternative Rock style blending Pop and Electronic, and hit songs like Yellow, Viva La Vida, Fix You … They are one of the most successful bands in the world, with millions of albums sold and many prestigious awards.
Recently, Coldplay has just released a new music video called Man in the Moon on February 6. In less than 2 days, this MV has attracted nearly 1 million views on YouTube, and made many gamers surprised and have to talk. The reason is because from the 40th seconds of the MV, the main actor suddenly “transformed” into Zhongli and Yae Miko characters in Genshin Impact game.
Very quickly, this factor made viewers surprised, and helped the MV to be spread more widely on social networks. Few dare to expect that the famous band like Coldplay turned out to pay attention and make a MV with the character Genshin Impact appearing from start to finish.
Besides surprises, many Genshin Impact fans are also controversial?
On the one hand, many gamers in general, as well as Genshin Impact fans in particular feel very interested and proud when their game characters are appreciated and have “acting ground” in a professional music music video. However, there are also many opposing views that arise, saying that Coldplay “does not understand the game”, paired with two characters unrelated to each other and created a false propaganda image.
According to them, Zhongli and Yae Miko cannot be a couple in love like in the MV Man in the Moon. Even these two cosers also have excessive intimate actions, making some viewers feel uneasy and wrong.
Many opinions are “panicked” by the emotional scene of Zhongli and Yae Miko in Coldplay's MV.
In fact, the game characters appearing in the music video of famous artists are not new. Obviously, this is a very good way of communication, helping to expand the MV's access files to a large gamer class. However, understanding the personality of these characters, as well as the game's fandom is very important to not cause unfortunate controversy as above.
