However, fans are also worried about not getting any concrete release date after waiting for years.
This year on, October 17, the author Liu Cixin, China’s Hugo award-winning novelist, revealed that production was underway on the adaptations in an interview with media. After giving a speech at his alma mater, the North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power in Zhengzhou, China’s Henan Province.

And according to a report from the 21st Century Business Herald, Tencent began shooting in July 2020, with plans to release the awaited series in 2021.

While many fans have been waiting for a successful movie version of Dune for years, and reviews for the movie have been mixed in China. An insider told the Global Times that watching science fiction adaptations like this requires a lot of background knowledge to understand it well. And which is why a considerable number of moviegoers are reluctant to watch them or “cannot understand them even when they do go.”
” Like Dune, The Three-Body Problem requires a lot of investment and energy for sci-fi special effects. And it also requires a good team to draw out a big picture and tell a specific story with their cameras,” Zou, a fan of Liu’s trilogy, told the Global Times on Monday, saying that she is still looking forward to watching both the Chinese and English versions.
