[Reporter Feng Yining/Comprehensive Report] After Chinese actor Ding Yuxi became famous with "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" in the past, he has firmly established himself as a first-line niche actor. Recently, he released the suspense drama "Southern Files". What sparked discussion is that many "male-male hugging" drama scenes have been leaked before. Unexpectedly, all these interactions were deleted from the main film, which can't help but make fans feel shocked.

The TV series "Southern Files" is adapted from the novel of the same name by the Southern Three Uncles. It uses a "dual male protagonist" model to explore bizarre murders. However, after fans followed the series, they found that almost all the life-and-death hug scenes between the protagonists disappeared. Since China has a strict ban on TV series, netizens couldn't help but wonder whether these "marginal" scenes had to be deleted in order to allow the drama to be aired smoothly.

However, the original author Nanpai Sanshu, who also serves as the director of the show, came forward and admitted that he had not seen the final version, "but the rough cut looks better than now." He obviously felt a little regretful. In fact, in the past, mainland Chinese dramas also sparked discussions for deleting intimate scenes. After "Steel Forest" starring Jing Boran was aired in April, some netizens discovered that the first kiss in the office, the explosive kiss, and the underwater kiss were all deleted. At that time, netizens also questioned the censorship standards.
