Pegasus 2 marks Chinese director Han Han's successful commercial transformation in the field of filmmaking with its unique"spectacle of speed"aesthetics and"racing-comedy"narrative,establishing a male alliance structure through the adventurous narrative of a male hero's journey in the sense of Joseph Campbell,perpetuating the perfect patriarchal myth in the vacuum state of Phileas-centrism.However,the seemingly stable patriarchal cultural structure is actually filled with a sense of suspension and self-contradiction.In contrast to the female perspective of the film YOLO which was directed by a female director Jia Ling during the same Spring Festival box office season,the latter offers another possibility of narrating personal myths without relying on any gender characteristics for Chinese cinema and even world cinema.
