　A "game" about fate is about to begin!

On June 21, the TV series "The Three-Body Problem" released a set of "Destiny Projection" version posters and trailers, which aroused heated discussions among netizens.

"The Three-Body Problem" was created by Liu Cixin. After winning the 73rd Hugo Award in 2015, it was hailed as the world's number one Chinese science fiction novel.

You must know that the weight of Hugo Award is equivalent to " Nobel Prize in the science fiction world". The influence of "Three-Body" has spread all over the world. You can imagine how big its market potential is and how high its commercial value is.

For example, when it was launched in Japan, it sold 85,000 copies in just 7 days. Even former US President Obama could not resist the charm of "The Three-Body Problem"; " Dune ", which also won the Hugo Award, its movie The global box office of "The Wandering Earth", another science fiction novel by Liu Cixin, has exceeded 4.655 billion U.S. dollars (approximately 680 million U.S. dollars).

And the "Three-Body Problem", which is expected and certified by China and even the world, will naturally only be higher.

According to posters and trailers, the producers of the "Three-Body" TV series include Penguin Films , Linghe Culture and Three-Body Universe.

Specifically, Penguin Film and Television belongs to Tencent , and the "Three-Body" TV series will be exclusively presented by Tencent Video ; Linghe Culture has produced films such as "Old Nine Gates" and " Tomb Robbers Notes " Works, its shareholders include Ciwen Media .

The most noteworthy thing about is that Trisolaris Universe, which holds the IP of "Three-Body", is the internal incubation team of Youzu Pictures, a related party of Youzu Network. Affected by this, A shares Youzu Networks hit the daily limit after falling all the way. As of the noon closing on the 28th, the latest market value reached 9.2 billion yuan.

The copyright story between Youzu Networks and "Three-Body" is full of ups and downs.

More than ten years ago, Liu Cixin was not so famous, and "The Three-Body Problem" was only a favorite of a small number of science fiction fans.

In this case, it is reported on the Internet that Song Chunyu and her husband Zhang Fanfan successfully bought the first copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" for hundreds of thousands, and reached a cooperation with Youzu.com to create a movie about "The Three-Body Problem" Version.

Coincidentally, "The Three-Body Problem" won the Hugo Award, and the value of IP has skyrocketed.

Surprisingly, the film was ultimately "aborted".

Some media said that due to the random changes in the plot, coupled with the incompetence of YOOZOO Networks and the director, a big fan of "The Three-Body Problem" watched it and immediately rejected it.

The movie has been put on hold, but the IP value of "The Three-Body Problem" is still there.

In 2018, Lynch , the founder of Youzu.com, bought the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" for 120 million, becoming the second copyright owner.

After acquiring the film and television rights of "Three-Body", Youzu Networks transitioned its IP operating rights from its subsidiary Youzu Pictures to Three-Body Universe.

In 2020, Three-Body Universe granted the rights to use "Three-Body" for game development and distribution to Youzu Interactive Entertainment for a period of 10 years. Youzu Networks seems to be renewing the copyright of "Three-Body".

　10, it is almost unimaginable how much benefit "Three-Body" will bring to Youzu Network.

Yoozoo Networks, the winner behind "Three-Body Problem", is in chaos in terms of performance and management. In the second quarter of 2020, the attributable net profit increased by -43.79% year-on-year. Three executives, Cui Rong, Chen Libiao, and Lu Jun, successively Resign.

In obvious contrast to this, Lynch is reducing his holdings in Youzu Networks and selling the copyright. It can be said that he has the copyright of "Three-Body", but can he still make money?

　 However, the film and television version of "The Three-Body Problem" has entered the fast lane. Among them, the TV series version of "The Three-Body Problem" won by Tencent is expected to be broadcast this year.

　 Bilibili won the copyright for the animated version of "The Three-Body Problem" and released a new trailer for the animated version of "The Three-Body Problem" at the 2021-2022 Guochuang Animation Works Conference.

The most controversial thing about is that on September 1, 2020, Netflix Netflix announced that it had won the English drama version of "The Three-Body Problem".

Some netizens analyzed that since the founder of Youzu Networks, Lin Qi, passed away due to illness, the stock price of Youzu Networks in the secondary market has plummeted . It previously released a semi-annual loss report. The sale of English copyright may be to make up for the losses. .

　 According to reports, Netflix has hired the creative team of the American drama " Game of Thrones ", the director of "Looper" and "Knives Out" Rian Johnson as the screenwriter, and the original author Liu Cixin as a consultant.

　 With this lineup, there is no need to worry too much about investment, science fiction settings, etc.

However, as the final season of "Game of Thrones" has come to an end, and the actors are all Westerners with different values, the English drama "The Three-Body Problem" still needs to be vaccinated first.

"The Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction novel that focuses on human beings and even cosmic civilization. It is difficult and ambitious to shoot. Fortunately, although its road to film and television has been bumpy, it has not been abandoned.
