Vietnamese singing star specifically requests Taiwanese actor! Reveals the real reason for 'personally selecting' him to film MV in Taiwan

Taiwanese actor Liao Wei-bo, known for his roles in BL dramas, has ventured into music with a cross-border collaboration. He partnered with Vietnam's "Prince of Nightingale" Quang Vinh, a beloved singer whose gentle voice has resonated with a generation of Vietnamese listeners. Together, they have released a new single titled "Hold Me When I Want to Cry," aiming to bring healing through their music.

Quang Vinh personally selected Liao Wei-bo for this project, leading to the creation of a "Taiwan version" music video. The MV, which showcases Liao Wei-bo's acting prowess and a surprisingly adept singing voice, was directed by Lương Sơn with cinematography by Khánh Ngô. It adopts a strong cinematic style, drawing inspiration from the concept of "another me" and capturing the realistic yet romantic essence of Taipei.

The music video features extensive scenes shot in various Taipei locations, including street-side cafes, bus stops, busy intersections, and the city's skyline. These familiar urban settings are transformed into a visually rich parallel universe. Quang Vinh portrays a successful but lonely man lost in the city's bustle, while Liao Wei-bo embodies a quiet, introverted "city watcher" leading a more ordinary life. The directors employed parallel editing to contrast Quang Vinh's bright, detached daytime existence with Liao Wei-bo's silent, deep nocturnal world.

A dramatic twist concludes the MV: two seemingly separate souls briefly connect across a train platform before a passing train separates them, leaving Quang Vinh alone. This ending metaphorically reflects the realization that companionship in a vast city might ultimately be an internal dialogue with oneself. Quang Vinh explained his choice of Taiwan, stating he has visited many times and finds its atmosphere gentle and healing, even amidst the city's fast pace. This calming energy, he felt, was essential for conveying the song's quiet strength.

Every time I come to Taiwan, I feel the surrounding atmosphere is very gentle. Even though Taipei's city pace is busy, it still gives people a sense of 'healing' stability.
