Usually, they only censor the explicit content. But this is the first time that AI tools were used to directly alter the content of the original film.

By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.

Maybe if they're still in touch we can get the full story on this!

Yeah they should clarify. People are saying that the producers did this, but from my understanding, this is a buyout/acquisition film which means the importer with regional distribution rights has the liberty to do its own censorship, while the film producers have nothing to do with it once the rights are sold. Unlike the revenue-sharing films where the rights were mostly retained by the producers and they have to work with the censorship.

posted a reply and a top level post. probably doesn't clarify too much because it's second hand recounting, but the filmmaker had no idea lol
