Personal experience

Yu Jilian was the general manager of Hongkong Wei Yi Film Company in 1980s and 1990s, an independent filmmaker and a famous action film director. Representative works include: The Battle of Tianmen starring Hu Huizhong, Shaolin Dharma and so on. He is also the chief photographer of the blockbuster Taiwan Province film Happy Face. In the mid-1990s, Hong Kong's film industry suffered heavy losses due to rampant piracy. Yu Jilian decided to take a break after filming "The Blind Wandering the Jianghu Again" and "Heroes of Guangdong and Hong Kong".

1998, Yu Jilian and his wife Jiang Xuemei settled in Chongqing. When he saw Tianfu Town surrounded by mountains, beautiful Jinyun Mountain and rolling Jialing River, he was drunk. At the end of this year, they got a marriage certificate.

Xie Ying didn't quit permanently. In 20 12, she returned to the Jianghu with her new work Xun Mei Walking in the Snow. After living in Chongqing for more than 20 years, Yu Jilian did not stop writing. In a few years, he wrote five screenplays. In 2009, I shot an action movie called Walking in the Snow in Chongqing, and then I shot a romantic movie called Infinite Youth on 20 15.

Personal life

The Yu family lives in Tianfu Town, which is about 10 km away from Beibei City and surrounded by mountains. In Yu Jilian's mind, this small town on the Jialing River seems to be isolated from the era of rapid progress, and he seems to be a real "mountain man". He said: I like the mountains here, and there is no lack of beauty in the majesty. No matter how impetuous people come here, they will also come to inner peace. In a big city full of power and money, you will never find this kind of peace. Perhaps this is the retreat of people in martial arts novels.

Yu Jilian said frankly that seclusion doesn't mean quitting, and there is no economic and fame temptation to go out again, mainly because he has feelings for Chongqing's water and soil. "Chongqing has such a thick history and culture, but it is not reflected in traditional film and television works. This gave me the urge to come back again. " So in 2009, I took two new works.

Practice boxing, carry water, write a script and come back.

Yu Jilian's life in Chongqing is very enjoyable. Every day, he and his wife, who are twenty years younger than himself, go up the mountain to pick springs, and they are also infatuated with China Kung Fu. After several years of training, he has become a "martial arts expert" in the town. Later, in order to add some interest to life, the couple also ran a small noodle stand.

Yu Jilian said, "Most of us who work in film and television are night owls. About six years ago, I began to write some words and draw a picture. Most of what I saw and heard was to express my feelings. In the next few years, I had the idea of writing a script, because I often went to Chaotianmen Wharf, and every time I looked at the surging river at the intersection of the two rivers, some wind and cloud stories naturally came into my eyes. In order to keep everything that flashed in my mind, I often write all night. "

The interruption of the film is not permanent. 20 12, Yu Jilian returned to the Jianghu with his new work "Xun Mei Walking in the Snow", and on 20 15, he filmed the romantic film "Infinite Youth". Having lived in Chongqing for more than 20 years, he has written five plays, and he plans to shoot and produce several other plays and put them on the screen.
