Tencent Video/CCTV/China Mobile-backed drama series, "Three-Body", has become the highest-rated domestic science fiction series released in China in the past five years, Tencent says, citing review website Douban.
The 30-episode series, released finally on CCTV and Tencent’s WeTV in January this year after various delays, is based on Liu Cixin’s novel, "The Three-Body Problem", about the invasion of a highly-advanced alien civilisation called Three-Body.
Tencent announced a 16% drop in profits for 2022 to RMB188,243 million compared to the previous year.
