One of the best Chinese science fictions, The Three-Body Problem has ranked #1 among best-selling Chinese novels on Amazon.com for years.

In this fashion, The Three-Body Problem has attracted great attention throughout the world including founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.

Lin Qi, founder of Youzu Interactive and Yoozoo Pictures, stressed that the theatrical release of The Three-Body Problem in Hollywood is a challenge as well as opportunity. "We would like to bring a different viewing experience for the American audience as well as learn valuable lessons from Hollywood on making science fiction movies," Lin Qi said. "We won't give up even if the box office performance of the first movie is not ideal; it takes time and perseverance to work things out."

Cross platform integration with IP (intellectual property) as the core has become the general trend in the internet industry worldwide. Yoozoo Interactive has further developed the link between game and film, which will bring more opportunities and market value to The Three-Body Problem.

Youzu Interactive's definition of the link between game and film is that the film allows the audience to comprehend the story from an observer's perspective, while the game builds a virtual world where the players can actively participate in the story to deepen their understanding. The combination of game and film gives the story the two-way interactivity that will expand like a shockwave to strengthen the emotional connections.

Lin Qi further emphasized that America has many excellent science fiction masterpieces, works such as Star Wars and Star Trek are considered iconic creations that cross a generation.

"2016 will be a bonanza for sci-fi fans. With Star Trek 13 and Star Wars: The Force Awakens coming soon, we expect for there to be a lot of interest in The Three-Body Problem and hope it can become a rising star in the world of science fiction," Lin Qi said.
