I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 528, The King of Dramas? Not only that, *The Three-Body Problem* has been included in textbooks.

Estimated impact of "The Three-Body Problem".

Everyone considers him to be on par with the "King of Dramas".

"King of Dramas" is the most influential concept that comes to mind.

The viewership ratings and reviews reached an extreme level of influence.

It's the 'King of Dramas'.

Industry insiders generally consider it to be the "King of Dramas" of the year, with a viewership rating of 6.7, surpassing "Westworld" at 6.2.

It's fair to say that without "The Three-Body Problem," "Westworld" would undoubtedly be the top TV series of the year, and no one would dare to claim they could surpass it.

But now, "The Three-Body Problem" has won.

Only a few people, such as Lu Zhengguang and Wang Chen, gave different evaluations.

Lu Zhengguang felt that in the internet age, things could reach an even better level.

At this moment, in Wang Chen's office, he was also discussing this issue with Xie Qingya, who had a calm expression.

Wang Chen felt that his influence might not be as great as that of the previous year's drama kings.

"Domestic science fiction has reached its limit; there's no room for further improvement. What kind of impact do you expect it to have?"

"Well, whatever you think, that's fine. In these kinds of things, facts always speak louder than words," Xie Qingya said calmly.

At this moment, Wang Chen's face twisted in disbelief, stubbornly believing that the impact he could have with "The Three-Body Problem" would not be greater than that with "Westworld".

He still firmly believed in his heart.

Only Hollywood works represent the future; only Western works represent the future.

Even though "The Three-Body Problem" defeated "Westworld" in a head-on battle, some people stubbornly believe that this is the result of Chinese audiences being unworthy of world-class audiences.

Yes, that's right, that must be it.

At this moment.

Wang Chen was in his office when he heard the news.

The Ministry of Aerospace Industry released a series of articles about "The Three-Body Problem".

An entertainment production has alarmed the aerospace department.

This is the first time in history.

"Civilization is as vast as smoke; what does its destruction have to do with me?"

This is the beginning of a video posted on the official WeChat account of the Ministry of Aerospace Industry.

It put together clips of highlights and famous scenes from "The Three-Body Problem".

The editing begins with the dialogue from "Chang Weisi," followed by a table tennis debate, a countdown to the universe's flickering, a human-computer interface, and finally the "Guzheng Project" with nanofilaments.

These iconic scenes are all more breathtaking than the last.

Even those who don't understand the physics involved.

You can also see how shocking it is.

However, while the visual spectacle is certainly breathtaking, it would be a pity if one did not understand the underlying reasons.

"Ahem, my name is Zhang Min. I studied astrophysics from university to my doctoral degree. I have a lot of knowledge in this field."

Top students from the aerospace sector personally came to "lecture" and explain the astrophysical knowledge in the drama to everyone, telling the story of the Red Coast Base from Ye Wenjie's perspective.

It also seems to be a kind of synchronicity.

Not only did the aerospace sector produce videos, but some university teachers also registered their own private accounts and posted their own videos.

"AND gates, OR gates, and computer arrays are classic knowledge structures. These are basic introductory knowledge of electronics. Want to learn something more advanced? Come to our University of Electronic Science and Technology of China."

At this time, a university professor with a gray beard not only used "The Three-Body Problem" to impart knowledge in class.

Someone even took a picture of it and posted it on Weibo.

On Bilibili.

The public opinion exploded.

It seems that "The Three-Body Problem" is an encyclopedia of science. It may not explain profound knowledge, but it has achieved the effect of "edutainment".

Right now

Even Liu Shanhe was somewhat shocked by this influence; not just shocked, but truly awestruck.

Generally speaking, the biggest characteristic of a phenomenal work is that it can trigger a "trend".

The trending phrases sparked by the TV series "New Three Kingdoms" include "The halberd was used to stab the adoptive father," "Entrusting the orphan to Baidi City," and "Burning the chained ships."

The buzzwords sparked by the film "Dying to Survive" are "medical insurance" and "poverty disease."

Just like last year's hit drama, "The Hidden Corner," which sparked a trend where the "Little White Boat" symbolized "Do I still have a chance?"

These phenomenal works have the ability to generate trending searches and buzzwords.

Even when "Wesley" first aired, it sparked the hot topic of "folklore".

Westworld, on the other hand, led to the emergence of the buzzword "ai".

The Three-Body Problem as it is today.

He also sparked a trending topic.

This word is called "physics".

Astrophysics.

Basic physics.

Applied physics.

electronic.

These terms, once associated with dullness and monotony, have now become popular.

Its popularity is evident from the number of searches on Weibo's trending topics.

At this moment, Liu Shanhe recalled Lu Zhengguang's words—the speed of communication and the potential impact of the current internet age cannot be measured by the thinking of the older generation.

Or rather, one cannot judge "The Three-Body Problem" using the mindset of the older generation!

Shanghai-based entertainment circle, Tangren Media.

"I wouldn't even dare call what I filmed science fiction; it's really embarrassing."

At this moment, Li Liguo, standing next to Tang Min, sighed with sorrow.

Faced with "The Three-Body Problem," he had no room for resentment. The phenomenon caused by "The Three-Body Problem" is unprecedented.

He single-handedly made the word "physics," which was associated with being bland and boring, popular.

It's worth noting that in the past, this word was usually associated with things like being boring and bland.

Tang Min, who was standing next to her, was also very complicated.

"I don't understand physics, but this TV series is really excellent. Even just from the perspective of character design, it is excellent enough."

Tang Min's favorite character is Ye Wenjie from "The Three-Body Problem," the "villain."

It can be said that the subsequent series of events were all related to this rational woman. If she hadn't sent her own signal to the radio wave that said "Don't respond!", the earth might still be in peace.

But at first glance, her choice, a choice born of despair for humanity, seemed understandable.

This, perhaps, is the contradiction of human nature.

Later, Ye Wenjie's actions in helping Wang Miao and the others also seemed to possess their own character arc.

She was the first to succumb, and also the first to regain her senses.

In her youth, she held the extreme belief that high technology represented advanced civilization, so she founded the ETO organization to welcome the Trisolarans to Earth and cleanse humanity of their sinful thoughts.

But in her old age, she saw more, and witnessed the actions of the Trisolarans in using "Sophons" as a vanguard to restrict the development of science.

She then realized the truth.

It turns out that the Trisolarans weren't all dazzling.

Advanced civilizations can also bring barbarity, which is simply the nature of living beings.

She still doesn't believe in humanity, and her character remains unchanged. However, this time she not only doesn't believe in humanity, but also in the Trisolarans.

That's why they provided guidance to Wang Miao and the others.

Even this major villain is not portrayed in a one-dimensional way.

They all have a colorful and diverse feel.

That's what's truly admirable.

Even if you don't understand the complicated physics, you can still appreciate the charm of the script, which is the most amazing thing about it.

Tang Min's prediction for Li Yun's move was actually higher than she had imagined.

Because this kind of drama is very rare.

It has a huge audience, or rather, an extremely wide audience.

From highbrow to lowbrow, it's a fan of ordinary audiences.

They can all enjoy this show; it's just that those who appreciate highbrow culture get more enjoyment from it.

They can have more happiness.

Take this time, for example, the Science Fiction Association, which is the most arrogant of all.

This group of people is known for being aloof and cold. Even if Ni Kuang himself went there, he would get slapped twice.

They cherish their reputation extremely and would never casually express their opinions in public, thus maintaining their authority.

This time, they acted like lapdogs.

They frantically try to make their presence felt on the internet.

Led by Ni Haishao, the head of the Science Fiction Association, he used his personal, real-name account to frantically support it.

Tang Min only found out at this time.

It turns out to be that high and mighty science fiction association.

It can also become like the fandom you cultivate yourself.

This gave Tang Min a surreal feeling; even these high and mighty people could have such expressions.

It's so dreamy.

That's really too surreal.

But it seems that this situation has now become an objective reality.

"The top tier is where Li Yun is now, thanks to the Three-Body Problem," Li Liguo said.

He agreed with the prevailing opinion in the industry that Li Yun would reach the top tier because of this work.

"Is it really just a top-tier level? Judging from the current state of the Science Fiction Association, it doesn't seem like they've stopped at just the top tier."

At this moment, Tang Min looked at Li Liguo beside her, whose expression was incredibly complex.

Top-tier.

Reaching a top-tier position at this age, a position that countless professionals dream of.

It's beyond just being impressive; it's beyond imagination.

It was an indescribable strength, a domineering and powerful force that even made people unable to muster the will to resist.

The younger generation surpasses the older generation, and now this older generation is completely convinced.

I fully understand that times have changed.

At this point, with the Galaxy Award presented by the Science Fiction Association, it seemed that all the achievements regarding the Three-Body Problem should be considered settled.

The highest achievement in Chinese science fiction.

He was beheaded by Li Yun.

Ratings, word-of-mouth, recognition, and reach.

Everything is already fully loaded.

A top-tier position.

Can they really accommodate him?

At this moment, Li Modu and Li Yuxuan were watching the commotion caused by Li Yun's Three-Body Problem.

Even Li Mo fell silent.

He originally thought that Li Yun's achievements were not just at the top-tier level, or even just at the existing top-tier level.

Evaluation of domestic actors, directors, and the entertainment industry.

Directors like Zhang Yimou and his contemporaries are collectively referred to as top-tier directors, even though Zhang Yimou has become a recognized leader in the domestic film and television industry.

Those are top-tier directors, or the four major directors. Generally speaking, they won't exceed this evaluation range. The selection logic is roughly the same.

This is an ironclad rule, a seemingly insurmountable regulation.

This is how we've always viewed things since this circle was established, and this is how we've always gotten around to it.

The ironclad rules that existed from the very beginning of a circle seem to be something that no one would dare to break.

And now, Li Yun's "The Three-Body Problem" is about...

His birth.

This incredibly powerful and unexpected work, brought about by him...

It was an unparalleled raging storm.

This is the first TV series to directly defeat a Western production.

It's still in the field of science fiction, which the West excels at.

This is perhaps one of the most explosive parts.

Science fiction.

The works that have been monopolized for a long time, had a budding period in the early 1990s, but it was only a budding period and then stagnated. Now it is starting to sprout again.

Generally speaking, it will only be in its nascent stage.

But the current situation seems to be quite different.

What was originally thought to be just the beginning of the Three-Body Problem is actually a towering tree. His achievements cannot be simply described by existing levels such as first-tier or super-first-tier.

What level should we use to refer to him now?

"I should still be considered top-tier." At this moment, Li Yuxuan sighed, feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of achievements. He really didn't know how to describe his achievements right now.

I originally thought that being a top-tier player was the limit.

But these achievements came crashing down.

The term "top-tier" seems to be no longer sufficient.

"He's currently called a top-tier player, but that's only because he hasn't surpassed that title yet," Li Mo said slowly, his words tinged with pride.

"yes."

The reason why it is only called "super first-tier" is because it is currently only at the super first-tier level.

At this very moment, Li Yuxuan's wife, an official working at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, also returned home, looking travel-worn and seemingly very busy lately.

As a key member of the review department, he is also closely related to the development of the domestic cultural and entertainment sector.

They also have a lot of first-hand information.

"My dear wife, you've been so busy lately, you've even lost a lot of hair."

"Thank you so much for your concern."

"You're welcome. I bet you're also in a mess because of the Three-Body problem," Li Yuxuan teased.

"It's not that we're completely overwhelmed, but there have been quite a few things going on in the entertainment industry lately, like the ratings directly defeating Western works and the current situation." Li Yuxuan's wife didn't keep him in suspense and said, "I think you should re-evaluate this work."

"How else can we evaluate it?" Li Mo wondered.

"He's going to be in textbooks."

"The textbooks from the Beijing Film Academy?" Li Yuxuan thought for a moment.

The textbooks from Beijing Film Academy are also very impressive.

It's like having too many lice and not feeling itchy anymore.

However, his wife shook her head.

"Not the Beijing Film Academy."

"It's a junior high school physics textbook."
