Set against the grandeur of the Prada Rong Zhai residence, the advertisement, lensed by photographer Leslie Zhang, presents a story of joy and optimism, a nod to the season’s festivities.

Zhao Lei, the face of the campaign, embodies the dragon’s dynamic spirit, showcased against a backdrop that marries tradition with the avant-garde flair of arthouse cinema.
