Orchid advertisement "A Gentleman Is Like an Orchid" from Huawei phone

Huawei Ascend P7 Chinese advertisement: The video is 1 minute long, with a strong Chinese style sweeping over you. Whether it is the background music, the deep voice, the visuals or the text, all express the elegance of the Chinese gentleman, his detachment from and engagement with the world, and the noble quality of finding tranquility to achieve far-reaching goals. Huawei stated that this advertisement was made by dozens of people traveling 3568 kilometers, crossing three cities, and taking more than 70 days to finally complete filming.

Setting the phone aside and looking at this advertisement, although the text and visuals are satisfying, many netizens said that the advertisement feels somewhat pretentious in its attempt at elegance, giving off a sense of being too highbrow for ordinary people. Netizens believe that a phone is a consumer entertainment product that brings joy to users' lives, so it should be closer to everyday life and more down-to-earth.

Actually, the netizens' comments make some sense. When introducing the Huawei P7 camera, although the text on screen reads "13 megapixel camera, low-light shooting" and "8 megapixel front camera, wide-angle shooting," what we hear in the voiceover is "To retreat or to hide, neither is acceptable" and "The movement of your inner self determines your position in this world." These advertising lines have nothing whatsoever to do with introducing the phone's photography features.

Although we understand that Huawei wants to express the Huawei P7's fresh and refined, uniquely distinctive quality, like a "hidden orchid in a secluded valley"!
