The Lustful Woman in Jin Ping Mei

尺度——大开色戒

The version of "Jin Ping Mei" directed by Qian Wenqi was rated as Level III, which means "Underage viewers are not allowed to enter and watch." Since it directly pointed to erotica from the beginning, three Japanese AV actresses - Kaera Uehara, Hikari Wakana, and Sarina Hayakawa - were invited to play the leading roles. Therefore, there was no reservation in terms of尺度 (degree), and it was expected that it would be rated as Level III by the Hong Kong film censorship.

Qian Wenqi was previously the assistant director of Wong Jing. He has directed films such as "The Virgin's Bible", "When a Woman is Single 2 & 3", and "The Ten Great Black Magic of Nanyang". Due to the recent decline of Hong Kong erotic films, many nude stars have retired, and new talents with market appeal are few and far between. As a result, many Hong Kong producers have turned their eyes to Japan, which is across the sea. The Japanese adult video industry is prosperous, with numerous female actors who are bold enough and affordable for Hong Kong producers. For example, Japanese AV actresses were hired for the explicit scenes in the earlier films "Passion" starring Louis Koo and Eason Chan, and "AV" directed by Pang Ho-Cheung.
