There were several reasons why the Detective Di Renjie series was no longer being filmed. Firstly, some people thought that there were problems with the film itself, such as a weak script and poor special effects. Secondly, it might be because the market response was not good enough. The number of views and viewership ratings were not as good as other movies. In addition, there was a conflict between the crew members, resulting in the inability to continue working together. Another reason was that Liang Guanhua and Qian Yanqiu had different choices of genre. Liang Guanhua was more inclined to shoot ancient films, while Qian Yanqiu wanted to make a breakthrough in anti-war films. Due to the above reasons, the Detective Di Renjie series was no longer being filmed.
It was currently uncertain whether Detective Di Renjie would continue filming. There were a few reasons that could cause the production to stop, including limited funding for the production team, the incomplete script, and the difficulty of reassembling the original cast. In addition, there were also reports about copyright issues and conflicts between the crew members. However, there was also some information that indicated that Director Qian Yanqiu was currently filming a new drama called " Autumn Officials 'Court ", in which the main character's name was still Di Renjie. Therefore, it was currently uncertain whether there would be a sequel to Detective Di Renjie.
