Dong
Founder / Chairman / CEO
A high-stakes risktaker, Yu is one of China’s most prominent and experienced film executives. At the dawn of the country’s film-industry reform movement in 1999, he quit China Film Group to found Polybona. Working initially with Hong Kong talent, he made Bona Film a financial innovator and the first Chinese studio to float on the NASDAQ, and then in 2016, he surprisingly de-listed the company. His plans for a new IPO back in China remain unfulfilled. But with an unmatched ability to read the market and a track record of picking movie winners such as “Operation Red Sea,” Yu is always carefully listened to. He is also a regular partner on Hollywood productions – recently including “Ad Astra” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.”
