SHP+’s Favorite China Ads from 2014
SHP+ 2014年度最喜爱的影视广告

Share: 

虽然已经跨进了2015,但鉴于开年后的影视广告乏善可陈,SHP+就忍不住要唠叨一下2014的精彩旧作。在翻开去年大批的广告里,我们看到了脚本的创意、制作水平和导演水平等都逐步的爬升;多家国际后期公司进驻中国以及外国导演频繁到国内拍片也带来了国际的交流;我们还乐观地推断,客户们也放阔了自由创作的空间……。虽然由“中国制造”品质之作与国外的相比还不在同一个档次(对比一下我们选出的国外十大名单就知道了),但总结去年,最使人欣喜的是有不少优秀的作品来自公益广告的范畴。总之,请看我们去年的最爱吧:

Although we’re already into the New Year, we’re still excited to bring you the Chinese ads from 2014 which we think are the essence of Chinese advertising these days. As our job entails sitting on our butts all day watching TV ads, we’ve seen A LOT of advertising from around the world, and feel the level of creativity and production in Chinese advertising is getting better and better – the storyboards are getting more creative, there are more and more talented young Chinese directors, and more foreign post houses are opening in China hoping to raise the bar here to a whole new level. We have even heard that clients are giving greater creative space to agencies.  So, although there is still some catching up for Chinese advertising to do (you can see OUR PICKS OF THE BEST FOREIGN ADS IN 2014), many Chinese films this year are interesting and really getting there! We’re especially excited to see that PSA films have taken on some very diverse styles and over the past year have produced some astonishingly creative spots.

Here’s a list of SHP+’s favorite Chinese ads in 2014.

最传统:
CCT央视 – 筷子篇 Chopstick

平心而论,央视每年都花费了巨大的心思和预算在春节公益广告系列,无奈年年以“回家”和“团圆”为创作命题,片子很容易流于套路。 而2014的春节公益片《感谢不平凡的自己》和《筷子篇》却带来了几分惊喜。大团队在数月内跨省的追踪式制作,令片子虽然说不上有史诗般的磅礴,但是足以打动中国大江南北的群众。《筷子篇》更是聪明地以筷子一物寄喻了中国文化和礼数的传承,避开了过多刻意的煽情。

麦肯光明在庞大的比稿中拿下了项目,与中国最大的制作公司之一的“观池”合力,从南闯北地在中国的八个城市完成拍摄。不论你在江南还是在河北,中国人都体会得到那份纸渗力背的浓浓人情味。

Of course, CCTV puts a huge effort and lots of money behind their CNY PSAs every year, although the creative ideas for these films are generally set within the theme of “Going Home” or “Family Union” which results in similar films with kitschy tones and formats. But this year, “Thanks to an Unordinary Self” and “Chopstick” outdid all of CCTVs previous CNY spots. The production was massive as usual, and the two spots took 3 months with different teams shooting in eight different provinces.

“Chopstick” creatively uses a pair of chopsticks to interpret deep cultural heritage and ethics by telling a story of self-value and traditions. McCann won the project after a large-scale pitch. They collaborated with Gwantsi to deliver both epic spots.

最揪心:

别克 – 事关人命 Buick – Human Traffic Signs

广告从上线至今,已经横扫各大广告节的奖项。最高的荣誉是获得2014年戛纳国际创意节的影视类铜奖。广告的创意并不复杂:让车祸的受害人在出事的地点高举交通指示牌,提醒各位驾车人士要注意道路安全。但是我们认为整个广告战役最有突破的不仅仅是让受害人现身说法和各种“触目惊心”的画面,更有意义的是别克大众在“企业关注公益和尽社会责任”上一次积极和深刻的表达。

After Buick’s Human Traffic Signs launched in June, it swept all the major Chinese advertising awards, as well as the high honor of winning the Bronze in the TV/Cinema Film category in the 2014 Cannes International Film Festival.

The concept is very straightforward: Victims of car accidents hold traffic signs at accident spots to remind drivers to pay more attention to road safety. The scenes are incredibly startling, and the message definitely reached the public – it is one of the most successful PSA films and sets a good example for other automakers to carry out this kind of community service.

最清新:
别克昂科拉 – 冼掉、再准备出发 Buick: Car Wash

“冼掉上一次的疲惫,再一次出发”, 这是别克在 “年轻!就去SUV” 市场活动下组织的一次破吉尼斯的行动: 在广州,上海和北京三个城市号召共十万的车主,到所在城市的指定同一个停车里冼车。这个本身就是一次疯狂的活动。在现场,飞扬的泡沫、车主兴奋的表情都被记录成为一部清新、真实而富有感染力的片子,传达了满满的正能量。也是成为我们最爱此片的原因。

Buick invited its Encore car owners to gather for a ‘car wash party’ in a huge parking lot – and the ticket was a dirty Encore. It was a fun and record-breaking campaign that ran in Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing. All in all, a total of 100,000 Encore owners turned up to have their cars washed – setting a Guinness World Record!

最文艺:
中华电信
4G (台湾) – 时间 Chunghwa Telecom : Time


制作花絮

任何广可能都希望拥有这样一支梦幻的制作团队:一个被誉为“台湾最有文学创意”的导演、一个出版过名为《尸体美感》摄影集的典型日本病态美学类摄影师 、一个有20年经验且获奖无数的美术指导,和一枚演技纯青的中日混血“男神”担任男主角,那你可以期待一部什么样子的作品?一部如玉石般精雕细磨、如细雨般润物无声的文艺佳作 – 《时间》。片中的每一个画面就是一个意境、每一件静物就是灵魂的呼吸,男神的每一次举手投足都是一种赏心悦目的优雅。 这种复古情怀与浓烈的文艺气息,是台湾制作的长项,也恰恰是几位重量级主创人员的阅历与经验的累加。

另外,片子的创意也很绝:打着“慢生活”的精致去兜售4G倡导下的“极快”,既是自相矛盾、但又是一种耐人寻味的说法。本片无论在视觉、表演和创意上,绝对是去年最出色的作品之一。

This is the kind of team every client would dream of having – a director known as “the most artistic director in Taiwan,” a Japanese cinematographer with an otherworldly aesthetic (he recently published a photography book called “A Landscape with Corpse”), an award-winning art director and a superstar actor.

And the film is exactly the stunning masterpiece you would expect. Each frame is beautiful and well structured, each prop – from the gramophone to the wind chimes to the brush pen – brings its own thoughts to the story, and every move from actor Takeshi Kaneshire is elegant. The experience and effort of the heavyweight talents breathe soul into the film.

What is intriguing about this ad is the contrast shown in the creative idea; the polished retro “slow life” vs the speedy, modern 4G. From the visuals to the performance and creativity, “Time” is certainly a masterpiece of 2014.

最搞笑:
QQ彩贝 – 阿发 QQ Caibei: Afa

中国的网络视频泛滥的是低俗恶趣味,真正缺乏的是幽默。 在各种广告类型当中,能同时拥有喜剧创意和喜剧表演的喜剧类作品历年来都是凤毛麟角。去年由上海Leagas Delaney创作的《阿发》却是一支从年中让我们笑到了年末的好片子。它描写了一位宅男与他的万能宠鹅“阿发”之间各种神奇的互动,在短短不到两分钟的片子里,阿发被设计用来搓澡、浇花、当瓶起子、做千斤顶等,笑点连连,绝无冷场 。虽然阿发被认为与某保险品牌的阿发鸭很相似,但凭心而论, 阿发鹅的每个笑梗都很有创意的啦。

创意上唯一美中不足的地方是故事与产品的关联性不强。大多数人记住了阿发,却忘记了彩贝。

但是这是不是就代表“阿发”成了国内喜剧广告的代表呢?是,但也不尽是。据Leagas Delaney透露,整个制作是Made-In-Thailand,包括了泰国取景,导演与长得喜感十足的男主角都是泰国人,后期也是在泰国做。 Leagas Delaney承认是因为泰国喜剧广告是亚洲最强的。所以很可惜,《阿发》还算不上百分百的本地制作。

Chinese comedy films, especially internet comedies, are generally drenched with vulgar ideas and exaggerated performances. But the latest Afa ad, created by Leagas Delaney Shanghai, is a true comedy. It tells of a ‘friendship’ between a quirky young man and his best buddy and pet good “Afa.” The 2 minute film delivers a hilarious montage of funny snippets from Afa’s daily life – and usages : Afa as a back scrubber, a bottle opener, a car jack, an alarm, etc etc. Although Afa was instantly recognized as quite a direct copy of the American Insurance company Aflac’s duck… the film is still incredibly unique.

But does Afa mark a milestone of China’s comedic ads? Yes and no – according to Leagas Delaney, the whole production was actually done in Thailand, including a Thai director and actor. Leagas Delaney even mentions that the reasoning behind doing the production in Thailand was the reputation of Thai comedy… So unfortunately, Afa is not 100% Chinese…

最任性:
陌陌 – 总有新奇在身边 Momo: Interesting Awaits


从去年年初开始,中国的影视广告流行起一种“年青告白”的纪录式风格,这种模式通常是:三五个打扮时髦出位的正太型妹,在镜头前独白对世界和生活态度的宣言。用手提摄像造成的晃动画面,营造纪录片式的真实感。当然代言人最好是年青设计师、选秀歌手和广告人等的创意人物。在这股“风潮”当中, 陌陌APP的《总有新奇在身边》和阿迪达斯的《这就是我》就是两部引人瞩目的同类作品。前者的创意来自上海的W+K、后者则是TWBA。但我们选择陌陌是因为它在原创、选角(大胆起用了真实的用户)和导演即兴的拍摄风格上都略胜一筹。据闻陌陌虽然未能在连串的冼底活动中取得理想效果,在年末离开了W+K后,它还是朝着成为“社交兴趣APP”的方向匍匐前进着。

Throughout 2014, we have seen a documentary style of filming grow very popular for a wide range of brands, especially those which target a younger audience.

These “Young Attitude films”, have a formula: cool youngsters in fashionable clothes walking along with cameras and showing the way they live their lives. Usually shot handheld, the visuals feel real and relatable. The spokespersons come from creative or design backgrounds or are young entertainers. In this wave of films, “This is Me” from Adidas and “Interesting Awaits” from Momo (a Chinese dating/social app) impressed us as the most creative in their casting of real users with an interesting directing style and copywriting. We like “Interesting Awaits” a bit more is it’s slightly more interesting and natural.

最惊魂:
大众 – 眼睛请看路!
Volkswagen: Eyes on the Road

大众这个精心设计的公益广告是去年移动互动营销之最。由北京奥美负责创意,利用手机的LBS技术,在香港MCL电影院里为观众制造了一起影院惊魂。整个互动设计得简单而直接,目的是通过观众的现身体会到“边开车边看手机”的危险。

奥美北京并没有在中国推广这个视频,但是有超过四亿人在网上观看了该视频。就价值而言,它就有接近超过2,500万人民币的媒体投放。此片还获得了2014大中华区艾菲奖金奖。

This well-designed PSA film was definitely the best case study of mobile interactive marketing last year. Using LBS phone technology, Ogilvy & Mather Beijing tested the campaign in Hong Kong MBL theatres. The interaction is simple and straightforward, but the experiences are so real and so scary, audiences almost feel like they are responsible for what happens in the film.

Ogilvy did not end of promoting this video in China, but there were over 400 million views of the video on the Internet, and the media value is close to 25million RMB. The film also won the 2014 Grand Prix of the Effie Award in China.

最出格:
央视 – 文明出游之熊猫篇 CCTV: Civilized Travelling – Panda Chapter

   (导演版)

以央视的正统背景,《回家》或《筷子篇》 等的国民煽情和国之精粹的片子才是正路。但是在去年十月黄金周前播放的公益广告《文明出游之熊猫篇》,把萌哒哒的熊猫变化成为国人,在悉尼街头上演国人在出国游时的种种不明文行为。但是央视这次豁出去的大胆尝试,却招来了坊间不少的骂,特别是熊猫兄掏出宝物,当街小解一镜,更被国人狠评为是“把国宝熊猫当流氓办”。逼得代理公司BBD大呼委屈:“那个(有小解的)版本其实是导演版,不是我们放上网的啊。”但是SHP+的小编认为那群吱吱呀呀的熊猫旅行团虽然看着诡异,但却还是很萌哒哒的,国人大可以抱着“有错改之、无错一笑了之”的态度,为什么非逼得央视最终把片子撤播了?央视,我们这回挺你。

We never would have expected the CCTV to make a PSA film like this one – last October before the Golden Week travelling began CCTV aired a film featuring clumsy and cute pandas misbehaving on the streets of Sydney.

This unprecedented film actually irritated quite a lot of Chinese people, as they found that it defaced the adorable national treasure, especially the scene when the panda peed on the street (private part of course was pixelated!) The creative agency BBD China clarified “The edition with that scene was the Director’s cut, and released only by the director himself.” But SHP+ thinks that while the group of panda tourists might be a little creepy, there is still something super cute about them.

Unfortunately, the ad has disappeared from CCTV and rumor has it that it was a forced removal. All the same, good work CCTV!

最完美声效和剪辑:
玛莎拉蒂:让世界听见你的呐喊 Maserati – What’s Your Roar

从来没在中国发过广告片的玛莎拉蒂,竟然破天荒地在去年底推出了一条网络短片,据称是为了配合亚洲首发的一款跑车和品牌的百年庆典。此片更让人意外的是,它竟然并没有走意式的奢华路线,反而是很接地气用了以上提过的“我年青,我拼搏”的模式,以三位年轻设计师的角度讲述品牌故事。但是如果不是轰隆隆的各种声效和玛莎拉蒂霸气的引擎怒吼声,我们有可能误会它是XXX威服装的片子。但出于对后期出色的音效的剪辑大爱,我们还是爱乌及屋了。

Maserati had not released a single film in China up until the launch of its first internet film to celebrate the brand’s centennial. What surprised us about this film is that it’s not your usual Italian luxury polished style. Instead, it is great story with a similar feel to the “Young Attitude Films” mentioned above – aside from the rumbling engine of the Maserati. Though the creative is not especially remarkable, the sound effects make the film.

最黑白:
开米洗衣液 – 皮肤篇 Kami – Skin

开米有机冼衣液的“皮肤篇”绝对是去年的“遗珠之作”。原因很简单,因为它从来没有正式发布和被投放过。但是只要看过片子的人都会被肌肤在镜头前呈现出的细腻质感而神迷。影片独特之处是黑白的风格和多元化的选角,其中包括了各种肤色的演员。创意公司 25小时的创意总监陶磊说:“我们想通过肌肤对最细微的变化来说明好的冼衣液对敏感的肌肤是有多么重要。”法国导演Muriel Lacalmontie对演员的出色引导、对画面美感的执着,以及清新的配曲都是我们对本片爱不释手的原因。

The new ad “Skin” for Kami, a Chinese organic liquid washing brand, is definitely a ‘hidden gem’ from last year. It has never officially been released due to issues with the product, but everyone who has watched it is drawn to the beautiful visuals, the delicate textures of skins and the very catchy music. The black and white tones is unusual in Chinese advertising, and give a ‘premium tone to the film’ as Lei Tao, creative director from the films agency 25 Hours remarks. The diverse casting is also not conventional – talents include a black man, a pregnant woman and a Chinese baby. “We wanted to depict the sensitivities of all skin types,” Lei said. French director Muriel Lacalmontie’s eye to detail and pursuit of perfection added to the exceptionally fresh piece of work for China.
