In the past four years, it has produced a total of 250 domestic works and cooperated with more than 90% of China's top animation production companies to successfully create series such as "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality", "Time Agent", and "A Hundred Demons".

According to reports, "The Three-Body Problem" animation is the largest and most expensive domestic production produced by Bilibili in recent years, and is also the most anticipated work in the current domestic animation market.

Li Ni, Vice Chairman and COO of Bilibili, said at the Bilibili 2022-2023 National Creation Conference that the total output value of Chinese animation has exceeded 221.2 billion, and the animation industry needs to have a global perspective and exercise the ability to cooperate with overseas production capacity. In addition to the "Three-Body" animation, Bilibili also announced the "Three-Body" animation global co-creation plan, intending to invite outstanding animation creators from all over the world to enrich the content space of the "Three-Body" animation.

Zhang Shengyan, vice president of Bilibili and head of the "Three-Body" animation, said that animation is freer in expression and more in line with science fiction content. The high-dimensional concepts and grand scenes in science fiction works can be realized to the greatest extent through animation technology and content creativity.

Zhang Shengyan emphasized that the "Three-Body" animation insisted on choosing a local Chinese production team to produce the animation, because only the Chinese team can fully reflect the Chinese elements and ideological core of the work. The "Three-Body" animation is a science fiction work with Chinese characteristics.
