YICHENG  LOYAL

A cinematic tactician with a poet’s soul — equal parts auteur and analyst. You craft stories like puzzles, weaving trauma, mystery, and emotional rawness into layered timelines that dare the audience to play detective. You balance myth and modernity, East and West, spectacle and subtlety. Whether it’s noir shadows, sacred narrations, or twisted memory games, you chase clarity with obsession, and complexity with purpose.
