About The Story of Detective Zhan Zhao
In the fourth year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty, a shocking private salt case was exposed, uncovering a sinister plot involving Zhang Kejiu, the Huainan Transport Commissioner, who colluded with the Liao people in treason. Kaifeng Prefecture's Zhan Zhao was ordered to arrest him. Upon hearing the news, Zhang Kejiu, aided by Liao scouts, fled in haste. A larger confrontation, hidden behind the private salt case, was about to unfold.
Directed by 王鑫, The Story of Detective Zhan Zhao leans on a strong ensemble — Wang Xuan, Li Xingyao, 卢星月 — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 2025.
