When it comes to domestic spy war dramas, "The Counterfeiter" is definitely one of the best.

This drama, which aired in 2006, became a hit and also pushed the director and lead actor Liu Yunlong to the position of "the godfather of domestic spy war dramas".

In the first unit of "Secret Calculation" "Listening to the Wind",Wang Baoqiang plays A Bing, a blind man with extraordinary hearing talent.

Wang Baoqiang, who was just starting out at that time, was immature and had almost no acting skills, but he left behind a classic role in "The Counterfeiter".

In the play, his interaction with An Zaitian, a member of Group 701 played by Liu Yunlong, is also impressive.

Now, Wang Baoqiang has become more and more mature and has embarked on his own path as a director.18 years after "The Counterfeiter", he plays A Bing again!

This time, Wang Baoqiang "reproduced" the role of A Bing in the movie "Decryption" directed by Chen Sicheng, which will be released in August.

The TV series "The Counterfeiter" and the movie "The Decoded" are both adapted from the novel by author Mai Jia, and the secret organization 701 appears in both stories.

In 2006, Wang Baoqiang played A Bing in the TV series "The Counterfeiter" and became the "eavesdropper" of Unit 701. 18 years later, in 2024, at the invitation of his good brother Chen Sicheng, Wang Baoqiang "returned to Unit 701" in the movie "The Decryption" and played A Bing again.

The sight of Wang Baoqiang wearing a blue Zhongshan suit again for the movie "The Decryptor" really brings back memories of "The Counterfeiter".

Today, Wang Baoqiang has a lot of personal thoughts on acting. When shooting a smoking scene, he asked to change the lighter prepared to matches, which made him look more stylish and imposing. Even Chen Sicheng couldn't help but praise Wang Baoqiang on the set.

Seeing Wang Baoqiang play A Bing again after 18 years,Many viewers left messages mentioning "The Counterfeiter" and Liu Yunlong again, and some even called on Liu Yunlong to make a cameo appearance in the comment section.

Of course, these are just everyone's good wishes. Liu Yunlong basically does not follow the crowd when filming, nor does he like to join in the fun. He prefers to film his own movies quietly and low-key.

In addition to the classic spy drama "The Counterfeiter", many viewers also like Liu Yunlong's spy drama "The Kite" broadcast in 2017. The final broadcast of this drama was also very tortuous. It took 5 years from filming to broadcasting.

The wait was well worth it. Liu Yunlong played Zheng Yaoxian, a Communist intelligence agent codenamed "Kite" and whose public identity was "Sixth Brother", and he once again attracted countless fans.

Why are Liu Yunlong's spy war dramas so attractive?

Because his spy war dramas are never just about spy wars.

Every time Liu Yunlong shoots a spy war drama, he devotes himself wholeheartedly and always holds the attitude of producing a quality product. The most important thing is that he has obsession, the power of strong faith, emotions about life and destiny, and questioning about the goodness of human nature.

In Liu Yunlong's dramas, in addition to spy wars, there are also love stories and no absolute bad guys.

In his spy war dramas, the presentation of this complex and contradictory emotion transcends the identity and position of the characters, transcends the black and white of many spy war dramas, and reaches the deepest part of human nature.

This kind of texture and depth is also where few people in China who have filmed spy war dramas can surpass Liu Yunlong.

It’s no surprise that when seeing Wang Baoqiang playing A Bing again, everyone can’t help but think of Liu Yunlong, because he has “disappeared” for a long time again.

It has been 4 years since Liu Yunlong's last drama "Victory" was broadcast, and 7 years since his last drama "Kite" was broadcast.

In fact, he has not been idle. The fate of a spy drama "The City of Chaos" is uncertain, and there is also a police criminal investigation drama "Moss" that was completed a long time ago and is highly anticipated, but it is still a long way off.

Every time another spy war drama is about to be released or aired, everyone can't help but look forward to Liu Yunlong again.

because,In many people's minds, Liu Yunlong is the ceiling of domestic spy war dramas.
