In the past few days, the Chinese-language “film nerd” community is extremely excited with the incident related to one of the iconic masterpieces of Chinese 3D animation – Play out injured frame. This 6-year-old long-term project is now suddenly receiving a wave of boycotts, even at risk of being removed by Tencent. So what is the reason?

Specifically, in episode 41 of the latest season 5, a scene that was expected by millions of fans was suddenly cut. According to the previous trailer, this is a hot segment between the two characters Tieu Viem and My Do Toa, but officially “flying” when brought to the screen. The fact that the whole intimate scene, even the “pure” scene such as holding hands and holding hands between the two characters, is also unreasonably omitted.

Intimate scenes, even Tieu Viem and My Do Toa’s fists were cut off.
Immediately after episode 41 aired, the audience’s indignation surged to the point of losing control. From a super product with the top score of Tencent, Play out injured frame received a series of 1-star reviews and brought the movie’s rating down to 46%. In the comment box, many longtime fans expressed their heavy disappointment, even saying that they waited 6-7 years to receive nothing.

The film’s score of 46% is alarmingly low after the “wave of outrage”.
According to Sina, one of the biggest reasons why the eagerly anticipated hot scene was cut from Play out injured frame due to internal turmoil. One of the film’s co-production studios – Wanda Pictures – expressed disappointment at not receiving a return commensurate with the company’s investment. Wanda officially withdraws from Play out injured frame, and at the same time “hug” the hot scene handled by the company. On the other hand, there are also many viewers who think that perhaps due to strict censorship, this sensitive scene has been cut.

Censorship issues and internal conflicts caused the film to be “stoned”.
Play out injured frame is a 3D animation product mainly developed by Tencent, adapted from the novel by Thien Tam Tho Dau. The plot belongs to the illusory theme, about the main character Tieu Viem – a genius who once made people bow down to worship, suddenly became a waste and lost all his abilities. After 1 night, he became rejected, shunned and despised, but his will was still as strong as before. Xiao Yan gradually found out the cause of his loss of ability, devoted himself to cultivation to regain his position of dominating the Dou Po Continent again.
The animation project started in 2017 and became a “craze” throughout the Chinese and Asian markets. In 2018, Hunan station also produced a live-action film with participating stars such as Ngo Loi, Lam Duan, Ly Tham… but it did not achieve the desired success.
