iQIYI is coming out with its first prison-themed Chinese language series.
Titled “Danger Zone,” it stars Vic Chou, Sandrine Pinna, Wu Hsing-kuo, Christopher Lee, Berant Zhu, Tseng Chin-hua, and Teresa Daley.
It will be the first drama to be formatted into chapters.
The entire drama is 24 episodes long, which will be split into two chapters, “In the Dark Night” and “The Silver Lining.”
iQiyi has released the official poster for “In the Dark Night.”
It shows the three male leads, Vic Chou, Christopher Lee, and Berant Zhu, standing on a bloody beach and behind them is a police bus that is flipped over.
“The Silver Lining” chapter starts from Episode 13. It will depict the dark personalities hidden within the light and the process of how the characters discover the truth despite everything going against them.
Along with the poster release, “Danger Zone” also released its newest trailer today.
Note that in "Danger Zone, Lee plays a police officer once again after close to 20 years.
To play his wild and unrestrained character Captain Tan in the drama, he tries pulling off a shoulder-length hairstyle and a mustache for the first time, showing the audience a sloppy look.
Lee expressed that his wife, the famous actress Fann Wong, is already used to him changing his looks for his dramas. He laughed, “But my son prefers his dad without a beard because that way, his face won’t get pricked.”
In “Danger Zone”, Lee also shows off his award-winning acting skills, switching into different modes as he chases after criminals and investigates cases.
Lee describes his character and expresses, “One minute I’m a lion and the next minute, I’m pretending to be crazy. It’s like I’m a mad dog who bites at the sight of something wrong.”
iQIYI’s first prison-themed Chinese language series “Danger Zone” will start streaming on Sept. 3rd exclusively on iQIYI in 191 countries all around the world.
