Another Chinese period drama gets cleavage cut
1 Mar – After making sure that all the actresses look prim and proper on Fan Bingbing's period drama "The Empress of China", China's anti-cleavage Censorship Board has done it again – removing several scenes from another series, "The Investiture of the Gods".
According to CRI News, the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT) recently requested for adjustments to be made in several scenes where the lead character, Concubine Su Daji, wears revealing clothes.
The original scenes were then replaced with close-up shots of the actress' head.
Shenzhen Television revealed that the series had already undergone some adjustments before SARFT requested more changes.
However, the move was not a surprise to Chinese Netizens, who have already speculated the cuts.
Some online users even joked about the revealing clothes and the imminent editing, saying, "Concubine Daji, please take care and put on more clothes. The weather is getting colder. I am worried about your future."
"The Investiture of the Gods" chronicles the life of Concubine Su Daji, the favourite of Dynasty Shang's last king, who was alleged to have caused the downfall of the dynasty.
