Chinese footballer Zheng Zhi brings some Asian Algier to Adidas’ Beijing Olympics campaign.
The hand-drawn spot builds on “Together” with Zhi’s narrative about how the 2008 Beijing Olympics will redeem his people from loss. Disembodied wings carry the Chinese into the clouds. The Chinese, and some feathers, fall out of the sky when Zhi describes the 1999 game.
Despite the tripped-out depressing imagery, the story ends on an up note. Because impossible is nothing, right?
Deep. Or at least really abstract. In which case … deep.
