Detective Di Renjie (DVD) (End) (English Subtitled) (US Version)

Product Description

Tsui Harks 2010 blockbuster movie Detective Dee & the Mystery of the Phantom Flame has raised public interest in the eponymous historical figure. Similarly centered on the revered official during the reign of Empress Wu, Shen Duan Di Ren Jie is the fourth series of a popular TV franchise that began in 2004 with The Detective Di Ren Jie, which spawned follow-up series in 2006 & 2008. In 2010, writer-director Qian Yanqiu & the original cast led by Liang Guanhua teamed up once more. Carrying a hefty price tag of RMB30 million, the fourth series shifts the main setting to Dunhuang & other exotic locales in the Gobi Desert. A big chunk of the budget was spent on the visual effects & action scenes, but perhaps the most fascinating aspect is that the wise Di Ren Jie will develop an ambiguous romantic affair with his new partner-in-crime-solving, while taking on more intricate cases & exciting adventures!
