A piece of white fabric unfurls like a whispered metaphor, stretching across the vast Inner Mongolian grasslands on its journey toward Paris. It dances along the Great Wall in graceful twirls, swirls with the ocean’s embrace, and ascends mountains in its quest to reach France.
Upon its arrival in Paris, it finds the Seine, where its delicate movements transform into a living canvas for the Olympic Games, casting the silhouettes of athletes in a dance of shadows.
To be part of maestro Zhang Yimou’s team was a privilege beyond words. Together with the visionary minds at Karma and the supportive team from Shootinggallery, a breathtaking Olympic film for Mengniu was born—poetry in motion, soaring high.
The dream team at Velvet Post, paired with the soul-stirring Mongolian melodies of Chris Zhou, breathed life into the Olympic spirit. Now, let this dream take flight.
