　　The team "chasing drama" style onlookers watching drama reviews

　　In the creation of "Three-Body Problem", it is clear that the audience of the original work is strictly the first audience, and it is also hoped that through "nano-level restoration" of the original work, it will drive everyone to read the book.

Bai Yicong said that during the seven years of creation, he has been encouraging the team. It was not until the prototype of the project last year that he gained confidence.

"There are many people who know "Three-Body Problem", but not so many people who have read "Three-Body Problem" completely, because this book has a threshold." Compared with "Hurricane", which was broadcast at the same time, "Three-Body Problem" is very Difficult to become a mass product.

　　Seeing some of your comments recently, the apprehensive creators finally breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their satisfaction with the results.

Bai Yicong revealed that the interaction mode between the team and the audience is very interesting. Every day, he would read some drama reviews updated by the UP master, and even like "addiction" to chasing dramas, learn some benign suggestions from them, and share and reflect in the group.

　　"We stand on the shoulders of giants, and the amazing imagination comes from Liu Cixin. The respect for the original work is also the reason why the audience is more tolerant to us." Bai Yicong told reporters that Liu Cixin did not interfere with the team's creation during the broadcast , and will not take the initiative to share drama reviews.

"We asked him during the broadcast, and he expressed his approval of Shi Qiang played by Yu Hewei. This is based on one of his friends. This recognition is hard-won."

　　Frequently making "unreasonable" demands on scientific advisors

　　The drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" starts from the mysterious events that occurred in the global scientific community, brought into the drama structure through the suspense setting, excavated and created the core of the series with a realistic approach, presenting an exquisite visual experience and an appropriate restoration of the original texture .

"In the beginning, I didn't do it for science fiction, but started with realism, to make the huge imagination become real and believable."

　　The team used various methods such as searching the Internet and seeking help from scientists to lay a solid theoretical foundation before producing scientific visual effects.

The main creative team buried a lot of real life details and hidden fine foreshadowing in the drama series. Bai Yicong revealed that in order to prevent the props from "going through the gang", the team also specially built a huge prop library for this purpose.

　　Get out of your comfort zone and face big challenges

　　Bai Yicong believes that sci-fi film and television can help the industry to a certain extent, which is also the meaning of making sci-fi works.

"I personally like science fiction very much. It faces the stars, the sea, the universe and aliens. In terms of cultural value, science fiction is not about one country or one planet. It has the concept of globalization in it. Very good cultural output." In his opinion, this is also a way to help the team leave the comfort zone. "I hope to get in touch with more innovative projects. Science fiction themes will bring a lot of new experiences in terms of imagination and expression. Technology The challenges brought about, the satisfaction of imagination, bring a strong sense of accomplishment. I am also very happy to have the opportunity to do more innovative works of science fiction in the future.”
