1905 movie network news On June 17, he presented his new film at the 26th Shanghai International Film Festival Chinese Masterpiece Tour Conference, and officially announced the cast for the first time. The film, starring the two, will start in November this year. The film "Catch the Agent" is a period film directed by Feng Xiaogang after "Youth" after a lapse of seven years, telling a game of faith that spans 40 years. Feng Xiaogang, who has always been good at period films, has focused on the little people in the big era in many films, portraying their joys and sorrows vividly. This return to period films, with actors such as Lei Jiayin and Hu Ge, has made audiences look forward to it.
On the day of the event, the film revealed a concept poster, which also contained a unique expression in the full atmosphere of the era. A warm water bottle and an enamel tank are leaned together, and the "anti-rape and anti-rape" printed on the tank bears the brand of the times. The police and the secret service are like a warm water pot and a tank, one is always baptized in hot water, the other is trapped in the tank, and the pine trees growing in the tank seem to suggest the special friendship between the two. What roles Lei Jiayin and Hu Ge will play, and what kind of sparks will collide between the two, which is fascinating.
Feng Xiaogang made another period film after 7 years
Tell the story of a 40-year religious game
The movie "Catch the Secret Service" tells the story of the founding ceremony in 1949. Xiao Dali, who had just entered the city and turned into the director of the public security police station, found that Feng Jingbo, a primary school teacher, was full of doubts. In line with the high vigilance of a soldier and the sense of responsibility of a public security soldier, he simply partnered with Feng Jingbo as a neighbor. After going through hardships all his life, he carried out a nearly 40-year follow-up without regrets… The game between the police and the secret service spanned 40 years, and the fates of the two kept changing with the changes of the times.
Returning to shoot a period film this time, Feng Xiaogang bluntly stated that the most important points of the film are "people" and "texture", hoping to capture the rapid changes in Beijing in the past 40 years. Feng Xiaogang revealed at the scene that he and Wang Shuo bought the film adaptation rights of the project "Catch the Agent" more than 30 years ago. "I have always wanted to bring it to the screen. When the time is ripe today, the film industry can also support the film with this texture, and I am very happy to be able to put it on the agenda." In addition, Feng Xiaogang also explained that the title of the film is derived from the game he often played when he was a child – Catch the Agent, saying that "the name is very topical".

In the video, Lei Jiayin said that "this is a film with style and historical significance," and Hu Ge also said that "I am very happy to see such a story with texture and the atmosphere of the times being brought to the big screen."
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time for the two to cooperate with the director Feng Xiaogang, and it is also the first time for the "brothers and sisters" to partner. Talking about the reasons for the casting selection, Feng Xiaogang said: "The texture of these two people is very different, there is a contrast. The two characters in the film have been entangled for 40 years, and I think these two actors have a feeling of entanglement when put together." The role relationship of each other is mutually exclusive, what will the two play, and what kind of entanglement and fatalism will be presented, and I look forward to seeing the movie with the audience as soon as possible.
The movie "Catch the Agent" is directed by Feng Xiaogang, starring Lei Jiayin and Hu Ge. The movie is expected to be released nationwide in 2025.
