Ying Yunwei's early films have a wide range of themes. Peach and plum robbery describes the disillusionment of young intellectuals' dreams. Hero of the times shows the rise and fall of national capitalists. Life and death are of one mind and eight hundred strong men take revolutionaries and revolutionary soldiers as their objects respectively. The storm on the wall takes minority people as its protagonists, which shows that he constantly challenges himself and drives The artistic ability of controlling different subjects and shaping different characters. He draws nourishment from drama art and pays great attention to the creation of drama in films. In the form of film expression, we should not stick to the law, have the courage to break through and innovate. He never lags behind, he can always make the film form well serve the theme of the film. In terms of lens language, Ying Yunwei shows diversified style pursuit. At the same time, his creation of film drama, his constant exploration of film form and his pursuit of diversified lens language, in the final analysis, come from his audience oriented concept of film (Contemporary Film Review).
