  "Sweeping Gangsters·Decisive Battle" is based on some real cases in the nationwide special struggle against criminals and evil.

The film tells the just story of Song Yirui (played by Jiang Wu), the leader of the anti-criminal task force, leading the team to break through layers of obstruction and start a fierce struggle with the evil forces behind the scenes.

  At the premiere scene, Zhang Songwen, who played Cao Zhiyuan in the play, talked about his experience in shaping the role of the county magistrate. He said: "Cao Zhiyuan has a lot of helplessness in this role. He also watched a lot before playing this role. To try to figure out the psychology of this character, he is not a pure villain or decent, but rather wants to portray him as a real person of flesh and blood in life."

  Regarding the harsh words to Jiang Wufang on the set, "I can’t catch you, I don’t become an actor." Zhang Songwen also revealed the story behind it: "When I first entered the industry, my first play was as an assistant director and Mr. Jiang Wu. Now 20 years have passed. I still stick to the path of being an actor. Now I don’t have too many worries when I play with Teacher Jiang Wu. I feel very comfortable with the cooperation between the two."

  At the same time, Jin Shijia, who plays the "county tyrant", also subverts the previous image, vividly showing a lawless local bully.

Jin Shijia said: "For this role, I hope to perform it in the most direct and hearty way. I hope the audience will find it very enjoyable after watching it."

  Director Lu Yulai shared on the scene: "I hope everyone can feel the country's efforts to "sweep the black and evil" in the most real way. This is also the original intention of all our chief creators to participate in this project."

  It is reported that the film will be released nationwide on May 1, 2021.
