Shanghai’s Xin Yi film studio has invited Russian documentary filmmaker and scriptwriter Oleg Semenets to co-direct a Chinese detective film.  The Russian filmmaker told RBTH that he also helped rewrite some of the film’s dialogues.

Semenets is best known for his documentary film titled Russian Harbin. His crew has already made a teaser for the Chinese film, which has been tentatively named Insurer.  Shooting will begin in November and the film will be released in time for the Chinese New Year.

The Russian filmmaker is also working on a movie that depicts the liberation of Manchuria by Soviet troops.
