Baobao is hand-carrying a small cactus to plant in Thailand for “health and good luck,” and it occasions many slapstick scenes before turning into an emotional plot point.

On a plane to Thailand, while frantically trying to download a map of where he’s supposed to be going, he sits next to the innocent young pancake-maker Baobao (Wang in a blond Beatles wig, wearing a infectious, idiotic smile). The competing demands of work and private life will be one of the film’s underlying themes. In a fast and furious opening office scene that suggests the cutthroat competition at Chinese businesses, he quarrels with his snide colleague and rival Gao Bo ( Huang Bo) and sneaks off to the airport, while dodging his wife’s divorce request. Here Xu Lang (Xu) is introduced as a big Beijing energy-company exec who is developing a miracle Super-Gas, plugged as a renewable energy source of vast commercial potential. The film is a sequel to the very successful, though not stellar, 2010 comedy Lost on Journey, which featured Zheng and Wang Baoqiang in very similar roles.

Naomi Watts, Bobby Cannavale and 'The Watcher' Cast on Bringing Mysterious True Story to the Screen Though it doesn’t seem much of a Western taste, beyond its curiosity value, the Golden Network Asia title should have no problem catching on in related territories. While the exact secret to the film’s high-grossing recipe remains a bit of a mystery, it probably has to do with the good-humored chemistry between the unlikely partners, pushing the limits of censorship in the sexual-innuendo department, and a well-written off-the-wall script that makes audiences laugh out loud. Not bad for a wacky $2-million comedy about a Chinese businessman-inventor (played straight by the film’s director-writer-producer-actor Xu Zheng, one of the leads in the witty Hong Kong rom-com Love in the Buff) who rushes to Thailand on a not very well-defined mission in the company of his arch-enemy and a humble pancake-maker. Its claim to fame is in the numbers: Two months after its release, Lost in Thailand has broken every box-office record in China, with over 40 million admissions and domestic grosses exceeding $215 million.
