CEO of Three-Body Universe: The movie version of "Three-Body" is still in the early development and polishing stage

The TV series "The Three-Body Problem" has been a hit recently. On the first day of its premiere on the 15th, the popularity of the series broke 20,000 as quickly as possible, breaking the first-day popularity record of a TV series on Tencent Video. One hour after its premiere, the popularity on the site exceeded 25,000, ranking first on Douban's real-time double chart and Maoyan's total popularity chart.

Zhao Jilong, CEO of Three-Body Universe, one of the producers of the TV series and the exclusive copyright holder of the content development and commercial derivatives of "The Three-Body Problem", told reporters that the movie version of "The Three-Body Problem" is still in the early development and polishing stage, and will be promoted to the theater movie as planned. "We will adjust the overall plan and plan of the movie based on the feedback and expectations of the audience of the recently launched works."

Regarding the progress of the movie version of "The Three-Body Problem", Zhao Jilong hopes that everyone will give it more time. He said: "The Three-Body Problem is such a large volume of three books, plus the current content planning. The movie is a small incision in the big world. We need to select the brightest part of the story and provide a movie presentation. I think the movie is actually the most delicate product that tests the ability of the main creative team, so I hope everyone can give it more time."

Regarding the future planning of the Three-Body IP, Zhao Jilong expressed his hope that there will not only be breakthroughs in content, but more importantly, that the cultural attributes of the "Three-Body" will be passed down from generation to generation to form a commercial empire.

Zhao Jilong also said that in 5 to 10 years, the Three-Body IP may develop into a "Harry Potter"-like state. "We can build a theme park based on the world of The Three-Body Problem, which will form an important part of the revenue. Finally, the regular licensing business of The Three-Body Problem will also constitute 1/3 of the revenue. This is a relatively healthy and ideal revenue structure."

It is worth noting that the Netflix version of "The Three-Body Problem" will also be launched this year. In September last year, Netflix announced that the filming of the first season of "The Three-Body Problem" had been completed and entered the post-production stage.
