Adapted from Liu Cixin's science fiction novel of the same name, the drama tells the story of nanomaterials scientist Wang Miao and criminal police officer Shi Qiang who jointly unveiled the mystery of the "three-body" world of extraterrestrial civilization, and will be broadcast on Tencent Video in 2022.
As the first Asian work to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" is not only a science fiction work that makes the Chinese people proud, but also a symbol that Chinese science fiction has reached the world's top level. Therefore, over the years, the film and television news of "The Three-Body Problem" has always touched people's hearts.
The drama version of "Three-Body Problem" released this time is produced by Penguin Film and Television, Three-Body Universe and Linghe Culture, directed by Yang Lei (the representative works "Breaking into the Guandong Novella", "Red", "Kyushu Sky City"), Zhang Luyi as Wang Miao, Yu Hewei as Shi Qiang, Chen Jin and Wang Ziwen as Ye Wenjie in old age and youth, Lin Yongjian as Chang Weisi, and Li Xiaoran as Shen Yufei.
At the beginning of the trailer, there is a dialogue between Chang Weisi (Lin Yongjian) and Wang Miao (Zhang Luyi), adapted from the classic dialogue of the original book - "Are there any major changes in your life?" "Nothing." "Then your life is an accident." "Most people are like that." "Most people's lives are accidental."
At the same time, the trailer also appeared in the Red Bank Base, Ghost Countdown, Guzheng Action and other famous scenes.
In August 2020, the show announced the director and casting, and released a concept poster; on December 14, 2020, the show released a special edition, revealing some of the shooting scenes.
In the concept poster released earlier, the huge parabolic antenna of the Red Bank Base stands in the center of the picture, with the spectacle of "three days in the sky" in the background, and the giant ship hanging upside down above the picture is cut into pieces by the death string of "Guzheng Action".
Chief producer Li Eryun revealed that the drama "Three-Body" took more than 4 years from development to landing, "We don't know what kind of work we can finally make, but I think we are already doing a special science fiction thing."
Director Yang Lei said: "A good science fiction is to have practical significance. After reading this science fiction, it may be the reality of tomorrow. ”
At the end of last month, the Netflix drama version of "Three-Body" just announced the first cast, gathering Marvel Movies and "Game of Thrones" and other well-known IP cass, although the roles played by the public have not been disclosed, but most of the first 12 people announced are not Asian actors, which are quite different from the original and are questioned by fans.
Therefore, as soon as the trailer of the Tencent version of the TV series "Three-Body Problem" came out, some people began to applaud, saying that "the casting has won."
Many people even began to shout at the show: "Fight for some gas, don't lose the Netflix version." ”
But some people have also put forward different views, saying that from the trailer alone, the picture is not thick enough, and the "epic sense" is not enough.
Some netizens also have a lot of criticism of the casting, believing that Yu Hewei is far from the image of Shi Qiang in the original work who "looks five big and three thick, has a face of horizontal flesh, wears a dirty leather jacket, smells of smoke, and speaks in a rough voice".
The show will air next year, and the final presentation remains to be seen.
