The Nameless Agents

The Nameless Agents (无名特工队, also reported as 无名特攻队) is the first AIGC animated short drama from the 9527 Theatre (九五二七剧场), the drama brand Douyin develops and runs exclusively with Stephen Chow, released over the 2025 Spring Festival. According to a Dumou piece republished by PEdaily, it ran one episode a day from the first to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, five episodes of about three to four minutes each.

Jiemian reports that the image-to-video work was done mainly with Vidu and ByteDance's Jimeng video model. The lead creator was the AI video maker Xianren Yikun (闲人一坤), who in July 2024 also made Kuaishou's Shan Hai Qi Jing: Cleaving the Waves, billed as China's first original AIGC fantasy short drama.

Coverage placed it in the contest between Douyin and Kuaishou over AI short dramas. Jiemian judged that, despite the draw of Stephen Chow and its pitch of Hong Kong comedy with an AI twist, it made only a small ripple; the Dumou piece called the animation polished and entertaining, but said its pacing and audience still needed time to settle. Neither report gave viewing figures.

Its theme-song music video was released on YouTube by Fireverse Ventures on the @9527official channel, crediting Nobody as producer and Alror as director. The episodes themselves are not on YouTube.
