Although "Lost on Journey 2" had a higher box office than "Dragon Gate Armor," Qi Hao gained much more from the role in "Dragon Gate Armor" than in "Lost on Journey 2."

"Lost on Journey 2" and "Lost on Journey 1" maintain a consistent style.

Even though he and Wang Baoqiang are no longer Li Chenggong and Niu Geng, their new roles remain consistent with the original characters.

Even Qi Hao's bald look stays the same.

After watching "Lost on Journey 2," people only say, "Oh, Qi Hao acted well."

It doesn't compare to the amazement after watching "Dragon Gate Armor."

Some internet users even said:

"I couldn't quite see Qi Hao's good looks before, just heard others say he's handsome. After watching 'Dragon Gate Armor,' I finally get it."

It really amazed me.

Because of this, An Feng teased Qi Hao for several days.

Imagine a man being called stunning.

However, she also thought Qi Hao's look in this movie had a different kind of handsome.

She even considered having Qi Hao change his outfit at night.

But sadly, she didn't dare.

Because she would get scolded harshly.

Actually, An Feng's performance in "Dragon Gate Armor" was also quite good.

A boost of red, valiant and spirited.

Her spear dance was so realistic, attracting many martial arts film enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, her screen time was too little.

People say An Feng has the potential to become a swordswoman-dancer.

Such roles feature heroic women wielding swords and riding horses, skilled in martial arts, often generals or marshals, known for their aura, like Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying.

However, this is not possible.

Swordswoman-dancer is a niche area, unless An Feng can't make it elsewhere, there's no need to delve deep into this field.

Action actors seem cool, but in reality, it's tough.

People who invest in this field, like Fang Long, Li Lianjie, Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing, are all battered and bruised.

They often visit hospitals when young and might live in hospitals when old.

An Feng is developing so well now.

She married someone quite capable too.

Why find trouble being a swordswoman-dancer?

Her new drama "Li Qingzhao" is already in preparation.

Now she reads Li Qingzhao-related books and recites Li Qingzhao's poems whenever she can.

Even while cooking, she occasionally bursts out with some lines from Li Qingzhao's poems.

From what Qi Hao has seen, there are several books like "Dust and Light: The Biography of Li Qingzhao," "Li Qingzhao: Illuminate Great History of Song Dynasty," "How Many Things to Say," "Burden of a Talented Woman," "Annotated Collection of Li Qingzhao," and so on.

When tired, she'll sleep, and read again when awake.

Anyway, she has nothing much to do.

She was quite unattached before. Since marrying Qi Hao, she's become even more laid-back.

Even when looking for endorsements, she chooses the less complicated ones.

The movie "Li Qingzhao" is tailor-made, produced according to An Feng's condition.

Not worried about how many years it takes.

Not worried about how much money is spent.

Film whenever she feels like it, since the crew is all from Zhonghao Entertainment.

Now Zhonghao Entertainment is big and prosperous.

All aspects of a movie production can find personnel within Zhonghao Entertainment.

These people get paid regardless of workload.

Now they're eager to help film a movie for the boss's wife, and only those with a certain level can get the job.

The big success of "Lost on Journey 2" has made Zhonghao Entertainment even more esteemed.

Many movie people outside want to join.

Ye Weimin finally decided to sign with Zhonghao Entertainment, becoming a contracted director there.

A person from Xiangjiang coming to develop in the mainland.

Initially just wanted to make a living, never imagined to break box office records.

However, his script for "Lost on Journey 3" was rejected by Qi Hao.

Right after "Lost on Journey 1" was finished, he'd started working on "Lost on Journey 2" scripts, but failed again and again, until Qi Hao wrote the script for "Lost on Journey 2."

It's not like he can just burn through the pile of prepared stuff.

So he took it to work on "Lost on Journey 3."

Anyway, fun plots and comedy bits need gradual accumulation.

For the third part, he plans to make "Lost on Journey 3: Hong Kong Jiong."

As a Xiangjiang person, he naturally tends to steer the Jiong brand towards Xiangjiang.

Besides, Xiangjiang is indeed a big city, with plenty to film.

Even selling some old Hong Kong film nostalgia is a great selling point, and he's even considering buying more old song rights to play in the movie.

Following the same path as the second part "Lost in Thailand," inheriting the style.

However, writing a script is indeed hard.

Hong Kong filmmakers' thinking is indeed outdated, especially in comedic films.

Repetitive tricks, again and again.

To change this situation, Zhou Xingxing even invited online jokes writers to join the scriptwriting team.

Just trying to make comedy more down-to-earth.

Ye Weiming also inevitably made similar mistakes.

Qi Hao is very picky with scripts.

Bluntly said his "Hong Kong Jiong" script was like crap.

If it's inheriting the style, then make sure to stay a good road comedy.

Make the audience laugh, make the audience happy is most important.

Understand the positioning when filming.

Ye Weimin was dispirited after being criticized.

Even the fact that "Lost on Journey 2" passed a hundred million single-day box office couldn't lift his spirits.

As expected, on the seventh day of release, the first Saturday, "Lost on Journey 2" broke through the 1.12 billion mark.

Everyone felt a sense of surrealism.

Not long ago, being in the billion club was a highly respected honor.

Because there were only a dozen people.

Uncertain when it started, but billion box office gradually became common.

Every year there are a dozen films exceeding one billion in box office.

Now single-day box office surpasses a hundred million.

How should billion club directors position themselves?

Impossible to brag now.

Maybe even a hundred million box office celebration party might be mocked.

On the eighth day, single-day box office couldn't hold on to one billion, only received 93 million for the day.

Yet it's already quite impressive.

In eight days since release, total box office exceeded five billion, almost equal to "Dragon Gate" and "Jinling" combined.

The key is "Dragon Gate" and "Jinling" released on December 15th.

While "Lost on Journey 2" only released on December 18th, a full three days later.

Bring them on!

Giving you a three moves head start!

In reality, even together they couldn't win.

With the new year clock of 2012 ringing, this box office battle finally began to wrap up.

"Dragon Gate Armor" accumulated a total of 5.5 billion, "Jinling Thirteen Cai" only 4.8 billion.

"Dragon Gate Armor" starred Qi Hao and An Feng, especially Qi Hao, drawing a lot of attention.

Even able to borrow the heat from "Lost on Journey 2."

After finishing "Lost on Journey 2," feeling joyful and unsatisfied, seeing another Qi Hao film in theaters, hence bought another ticket.

After watching, could only say, Qi Hao, you're damn impressive.

But the movie itself, forget it.

Xu Ke remains Xu Ke, but Xu Ke's films are no longer classics.

The total box office for "Lost on Journey 2" quickly came out, 45 days after release, achieving a box office of 15.5 billion.

Nearly two billion more than "Avatar's" 13.8 billion.

A new box office record born!

Standing there like a beacon, illuminating the rapid progression of the entire film industry.

While movie companies are making campus youth films, they're also rushing to follow the trend with comedy films.

Who can't copy homework?

And cinemas started crazily expanding too.

Existing ones increased screen count as much as possible or opened more branches.

One new cinema after another sprang up.

New capital is joining, Wanda Cinemas, United Cinemas, Dadi Cinemas...

One could say that Zhang Yimou started the blockbuster era, and Qi Hao started the hit era.

The movie industry's earning power was invisibly magnified numerous folds.

Penguin, Ali, Qiandu and other internet companies,

Wanda, Huaren Land, Poly, Evergrande and other real estate companies.

Along with other miscellaneous ones, either acquiring or buying shares, all started rushing into the film business.

Traditional movie companies are facing immense pressure.

But this doesn't include Qi Hao, he currently feels zero pressure.

"Everyone here is trash."

The value of this phrase is rising.

Amidst the snowy weather, he's researching how to bring out his wife's Li Qingzhao aura in filming.
