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By the way, the film has been withdrawn from a wide release in China after receiving too many complaints.
Web series usually don’t go through censorship, otherwise the poor staff in the department would be completely overwhelmed lol. It’s mostly release on movie theaters and public television channels that require the proper license and censorship approval.
