What is the storyline that you have in your head… about my new song, that I am writing… with my bros?
(Giggles) How did you know that I had a storyline in my head…?
Because you’re creative and you’re obviously suddenly hyper-focusing on it, so just tell me what you’re thinking — we may or may not — draw actual inspiration from it…!
(Smiles)
Well… in my mind’s eye… FICTIONAL Olivia Rodrigo is like “the girl your parents wish you would marry” — maybe she is the daughter of these family friends. Maybe your parents were business partners with her parents. And you’ve grown up in Australia too — it’s not unusual that your parents have another mixed-race couple as besties and their daughter is Wasian!
Simultaneously — however — also in Australian society? I’m not sure —
IS THIS MUSIC VIDEO BEING SET IN SYDNEY OR MELBOURNE?!
I don’t know… maybe Sydney? Would Sydney make more sense? I don’t know — Olivia is half-Filipino though… so I don’t know how that would make sense as business partner friends of your parents — but somehow you end up in London and you meet FICTIONAL Dua Lipa — the other woman — THE SEXY WOMAN — that your parents wouldn’t actually approve of… for whatever reasons…
Ooooohhh… I am starting to see this narrative now…
Right?!?! “Tale as old as time” — everyone knows this storyline.
But they don’t know the TRUTH.
What Truth?!!?
The TRUTH that fictional Olivia is actually a MEAN GIRL — who acts all innocent and “perfect” in front of the parents. And fictional Dua Lipa is actually AN ANGEL with a tough exterior — she acts TOUGH — she’s STREET SMART — but she’s an ANGEL who helps to go feed HOMELESS PEOPLE in LONDON. She’s GENUINELY VERY NICE.
Okay…? Wow… you’ve really thought about it… but what about your bros? Where do they fit in?
They can just be random people on the streets in Sydney or London singing their lines and the chorus…
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) Are you SURE?!?!?!
Oh — fine, maybe they can be school friends, or uni friends, and some of them were at a party and they introduced me to fictional Dua Lipa…
Oh? But then other bros are from the hometown — either Sydney or Melbourne — and they know fictional Olivia and some really like her too, they’re saying, “You’re crazy! Your parents are right! SHE’S THE PERFECT GIRL” —
Because she HIDES IT FROM EVERYONE — SHE’S ACTUALLY EVIL INSIDE — AND I CAN SEE IT — I DON’T WANT TO MARRY HER!!!
Okay… chill… (LOL)
Whew! This fictional love triangle…
I wonder if fictional Dua Lipa is actually kind of Wasian too and that’s how you get along anyway because even though you’re Asian you’re Westernised? Does that make sense? So both of them are Wasian options… (LOL)
Dua Lipa is NOT Wasian at all — But also, it doesn’t really matter, we don’t need in-depth background stories to these characters, it’s a 3 minute video.
Awww… but why only 3 minutes?! Why not make it a SHORT FILM — like 10, 12 or 15 minutes?! So it’s actually A LOVE TRIANGLE DRAMA — and then there’s a music soundtrack, the actual single to go with it?!?!?!
(Chuckles) — We don’t have those budgets, babe… but that’s a cute idea.
