On January 10, the Netflix version of "Three-Body Problem" released a finalized trailer, and the official announcement was set for March 21. This Netflix version is created by "Game of Thrones" creators David Benioff &D.B. Weiss and Alexander Wu, with Liu Cixin and Liu Yukun as consultant producers, and Zeng Guoxiang as the director of the first episode.
Judging from the many finalized trailers that have been released for this version of "The Three-Body Problem", the show may hit the streets with word of mouth and become a bad drama. A lot of the content that fans are looking forward to will not appear in this "Three-Body Problem".
First of all, fans of the drama are looking forward to some content with big scenes and strong special effects, which should not be available in this version of "The Three-Body Problem". **In the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", there are not many real battle scenes, and they are basically "scheming". Therefore, no matter which version of the TV series, it cannot create a big scene in the battle between the two armies.
However, in the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", the scenes in the "game world" are still not small. Therefore, what many fans are looking forward to is that the Netflix version can make these scenes. However, in this version of the finalized trailer, there doesn't seem to be a big scene of these contents. On the contrary, these shots that have been released all inform the audience that the production cost of the play is stretched.
Secondly, this version of "The Three-Body Problem" may tamper with a lot of Chinese elements.
At present, the most straightforward thing is that in the Netflix version, the leading actors are all foreigners and lack Chinese faces. A Chinese ** story, replaced by a large number of foreign faces, has obviously changed the background setting of this TV series. Based on this, this TV series will not have a good reputation, at least on the side of Chinese audiences.
At the same time, the finalized trailer that has been released for the show shows that a lot of content set in ancient China has been made into a European architectural style by the Netflix version. This kind of nondescript has obviously deviated from the original content of "The Three-Body Problem". And this kind of stealing of the architectural background is bound to make this TV series lose the real taste of the original.
At the same time, "The Three-Body Problem** itself is anti-film and television drama, and whoever adapts it will encounter the problem of insufficient storytelling of the TV series itself.
The three parts of "The Three-Body Problem" are basically able to summarize the content of the story in three words. Especially in the first work, the imagination is okay, but the storytelling is seriously insufficient. Therefore, no matter which version of the TV series "Three-Body Problem" is, it will face the problem that there is no good original text after film and television. The imagination provided by words cannot be restored in film and television dramas. Even if it's a version of a big foreign production - what's more, the production cost of this TV series is not high.
In my personal opinion, instead of adapting "The Three-Body Problem" in TV dramas, it is really better to go directly to the movie link, three **, adapted into one movie. Only in this way will the movie version of "The Three-Body Problem" have enough story content. Under the premise that the story itself is insufficient, and it insists on adapting a TV series, it can only inject water into a large number of details. But as long as the play is flooded, it is bound to be not good-looking.
The audience's initial expectation for science fiction film and television dramas is science fiction war. The story of the beginning of "The Three-Body Problem" cannot provide the part of these space battles. Therefore, no matter who adapts it, the first part is destined not to be good-looking. And once the first part is not satisfactory, the second and third parts will be even lower in terms of production costs. The end result is that there is no story and no scene.
Based on this, I believe that we should lower our expectations for the Netflix version. This "Three-Body Problem" has a huge possibility of quality hitting the street.
