In 2023, Wang Yibo's big screen debut literary film "No Name" in the Spring Festival season was highly praised by the industry, winning the Weibo Filmmaker of the Year Breakthrough Award and recognition by fans.

On 28 April, May Day, Wang Yibo will be back on the big screen with his new feature film King of the Long Sky and star as a test pilot in 20 February 1967.

In order to get closer to the real test pilots, Wang Yibo entered the set early in the theoretical knowledge study and full physical training organised by the crew. Netizens interviewed Wang Yibo, who received health guidance from a professional fitness trainer at the gym, and all efforts were made to present the test pilot style perfectly on the big screen, so that more people can get to know these lesser-known heroes up close.

The film's release date is getting closer and closer, so let's look forward to Wang Yibo breaking through again on the big screen, and to "King of the Long Sky", a film that will bring a wonderful visual experience and constant pursuit to the People's Army Air Force!

King of the Long Sky" tells the story of Lei Yu, played by Wang Yibo, and other outstanding pilots under the leadership of Captain Zhang Ting, played by Hu Jun, who, after a tough selection process to become test pilots, participate in the test flights of the latest warplanes, and win many battles.

The story of a pilot's quest to win in the midst of danger and explore his limits.

In addition to the creator's "King of the Long Sky" and the touching subject matter, the features of "2014 and 2013 Real Things, Real Aircraft, Real Restoration" also aroused great interest from fans.

Dapeng said that he heard the audience spontaneously applaud three times while watching the film because it was brilliant and he was looking forward to King of the Long Sky taking to the skies and selling well at the box office and said, I'd like to be your wingman forever!

Du Hua was also looking forward to the release of 'King of the Long Sky' with great anticipation.

It's a pity that the storyline of "Sky Hunt" was too old and weak, and the characterisation too crude to resonate with either air warfare enthusiasts or general audiences, so it's no wonder that "Sky Hunt" lost out with a superb "rival" like its contemporaries "The Iron Fist of Shame", "Chasing the Dragon" and "Battle of Britain".

He is particularly passionate about air force subjects, having shot films such as the Liaoning, China's first aircraft launch, the Kunpeng strategic transport aircraft, the Transport 20, and the China Aviation Industry Corporation. If we had to find a professional cinematographer to shoot an air force subject, it would be one of the best choices.

Although the casting of Wang Yibo as the lead actor in this film is controversial, the theme of the film is appealing enough, and the script is polished in the context of the realities of China's air force test flight range, so as long as the acting doesn't have major holes, the role won't have too much impact on the film.
