Release time:Apr 13, 2024 20:55 PM

Yesterday afternoon, the first China TV Drama Conference sub forum with the theme of "The Ideal, Practice, and Future of Chinese Science Fiction Drama" was held at Xiamen University. Tencent Video joined hands with the creators of the TV drama "The Three Body Problem" to enter Xiamen University.

Since its launch on Tencent Video in January 2023, the TV series "Three Body Problem" has received high praise and popularity. Later, it landed on overseas platforms and made positive and beneficial attempts to convey the mainstream values of the East and expand its culture overseas. After seven years of refinement, this drama presents a high-quality science fiction work to the audience while remaining faithful to the original work, pioneering the creation of science fiction realism.

At the meeting, Yang Lei, the chief director of "The Three Body Problem", admitted that the biggest difficulty in the filming process was that there were no benchmark or reference projects for domestic science fiction dramas before. For "The Three Body Problem", which focuses on characters and constructs stories based on character relationships, it is crucial to present a large amount of scientific explanations and atmosphere through visuals. He believes that "Chinese style science fiction has its own core, it is grounded, realistic, and can bring us rich feelings. We need to think about science fiction that belongs to China in a Chinese way."

Visual director and animation director Lu Beike shared in detail the details of the series creation process, such as the need to set special effects and storyboards based on the style and content of different scenes in the early preparation process, and the knowledge of ship dynamics involved in "Operation Guzheng". However, in the end, all the work fell on creating Chinese style science fiction works. He said, "The Three Body Problem contains an atmosphere of active exploration of outer space by humans. We believe that while grasping this atmosphere, it is necessary to land on the Chinese people's own way of thinking and use underlying thinking to drive various designs."

Chief producer Bai Yichong said, "We hope that the overall environment can give science fiction dramas more opportunities. The soil for science fiction works is still too thin, and this accumulation process may require a generation or even longer efforts. However, we hope that in the future, when students open the 'warehouse' of science fiction dramas, there will already be many drawings accumulated in the past, which will have a great positive effect on the development of the industry."

Chief screenwriter Tian Liangliang sent a message to young students, "No matter which field of creation you want to enter, you must first love it, like it first, so that your thoughts can fly in it. Secondly, you need to have enough patience, and regardless of the subject matter, you must meticulously carve and polish every detail well."

The relevant person in charge of the Television Drama Department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television attended the event, which received strong support from the Film Academy of Xiamen University.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there has been a custom of picking mugwort in Chinese folk culture since ancient times.
