Likely duplicate needs removing or fixing

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1391851/?ref_=nm_knf_t_1 this movie i believe is a duplicate of https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0456630/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_reincarnation 

but with some interesting changes. The description is accurate for the second link, even listing the correct director. However for some reason this features 3 cast members and is listed as being directed by someone else. best i can see is that the director is either a producer from the 70s or a streaming tv director from mainland china. (these do not appear to be the same person but have the same name) in either case, he is not takashi shimizu who is listed in the description. I can't really find any information about the actors either. except that one shares a name (or is?) a famous guzheng player from the 1940s. 

The reason I am going into so much detail here is because, i really can't find anything that accounts for this mistake. as far as i can see, a film directed by this person, with these actors released in 2004 with this title. does not exist. and no individual combination of these elements seems to exist either. the only thing that comes up when searching is this listing and the tmdb listing (which i have already reported) no other such evidence exists. but the existence of these actors names implies the existence of a real film. so i mention it, just in case this isnt a pure duplicate that just had randomly incorrect cast members for some reason. just incase someone can find more information than me and give this the correct description for the movie it actually is (if it exists)

but my opinion is that this is almost certainly a duplicate. I have no explanation for the cast or director. every other piece of information is exactly the same as the takashi shimizu reincarnation listed above. and the other listing has far more efficient and accurate information and a better written description. This page should probably be deleted.
