Boxing Cat Brewery launched its new Amber Lager campaign this week, centered around an action packed animated film about a superhero cat boxer intent on ridding China’s cities of mundane beer, one haymaker at a time.
在2019年6月3号的上海，拳击猫啤酒新推出了本周琥珀拉格啤酒，以纵情狂欢主题歌曲风开场的动画电影为中心，故事围绕着一只超级英雄拳击猫醉心于找到一酷到底的酒而摆脱平凡的大众酒而展开。
Titled “First Blood”, with the slogan “Defeat Ordinary”, the feline protagonist is Louie, a character developed from the original Boxing Cat logo, the cat patrols the city in search of insipid beers and apathetic civilians. R/GA Shanghai ECD Terence Leong mentioned that it was not planned for Louie to be a super hero, but after CD Shing Sian Chew played the Spiderman theme song it was like “boom! Everything clicked – he’s a superhero who fights boring beers.”
Terence Leong提到并没有让Louie(路易)成为超级英雄的计划，但是在Shing Sian Chew播放了蜘蛛侠主题曲后，感觉就像“爆发一样，一切都很成功——他是一个会和无聊的啤酒战斗的超级英雄。”
Music studio Ker Sound was given the challenging job of creating a catchy theme song originally based around this reference that influenced Louie’s creation. The idea was to stay as far away from anything that sounded like an advertising jingle and create more raw “punk rock track.” While they are still waiting to see whether the song catches on, Shing noted that the ACD in their office who doesn’t speak Chinese has been spotted singing the song.
位于上海的Ker Sound接到了一项颇具挑战性的任务，根据这个影响了Louie(路易)的创意的事例，创作一首吸引人的主题曲。他们的想法是不同于广告曲目，他们想创作出更为原始的“朋克摇滚乐”。在他们还不确定这首歌是否受欢迎的时候，Shing注意到他们办公室里不会说中文的ACD都在唱这首歌。标题显示“第一血”，并且标语为“击败平凡”，一只猫形象的主人公路易（Louie），这个角色是在原来拳击猫logo中进一步发展的，他巡逻城市，搜寻着无味的啤酒和无动于衷的百姓们。
The piece was created by R/GA Shanghai, produced by Shanghai-based production company Final Frontier, and directed and animated by Buenos Aires studio Le Cube. It is the trio’s latest collaboration following last year’s award-winning, data-driven Road To HBL campaign for Nike China.
这个片段由上海R/GA创作，由在上海的制片公司Final Frontier终极先锋制片，由布宜诺斯艾利斯的工作室Le Cube导演和制作动画。这是继去年为中国耐克制作的数据驱动的获奖动画作品《通往HBL之路》之后，三方合作的最新项目。
“First Blood” rolled out across China last week, appearing on Boxing Cat’s official WeChat, and in live superhero-themed launch parties in Shanghai and Beijing.
《第一血》上一周在中国全面推出，在拳击猫微信公众号中公布，而且在上海和北京展开的超级英雄主题派对现场放映。
