About Pegasus Movie:
Pegasus (Chinese: 飞驰人生) is a Chinese comedy film directed and written by Han Han, starring Shen Teng and Huang Jingyu. The film was released in China and other territories on February 5, 2019, marking Lunar New Year.
This film is based on director Han Han’s personal story and is based on the real story of Xu Lang (The enlightenment teacher of Han Han Racing). The character of Lin Zhengdong is based on Han Han’s friend Zhang Zhengdong and the character of Sun Yuqiang is based on Han Han’s true pilot call Sun Qiang. The word “dedication” (奉献) sees frequent use in Pegasus because Han Han wanted to use this film to tell the story of how he dedicated his life to racing.
“Everyone can dream, but there are only a handful of people chasing dreams. Even fewer people persist to the end. The happiest thing for a person is to dedicate his life to the things he loves.”
In early August 2018, Han Han made a public announcement of Pegasus (飞驰人生) on Weibo, the early promotion of the film involved him uploading behind-the-scenes footage of himself and some of the main cast. The movie released a thirty-second teaser trailer on October 4, 2018.
Pegasus was nominated at the 2019 Golden Rooster Awards for Best Sound and Best Editor.
A second film, Pegasus 2, was released on February 10, 2024. A drama series adaptation started streaming on February 28, 2024.
