Netflix’s “3 Body Problem” New Show Leads To MURDER Of YOUNG BILLIONAIRE
[Music]. bada bing bada boom $1. billion that's how much Jeff Bezos wants. to spend on his new little project it's. the three body problem project the three. body problem is this science fiction. series written by a Chinese author and. it's also one of Jeff bezos's favorite. books but more importantly this book has. the chance to go up against HBO Max. Amazon Prime video is trying to build up. their streaming service but all everyone. online every everywhere can talk about.
for years upon years just year after. year is The Game of Thrones series on. HBO Max that's it that's the topic of. discussion or perhaps it's the Marvel. Cinematic Universe that's grossed close. to $30 billion or Star Wars sitting at. 11 billion Harry Potter at 10 billion so. Jeff Bezos he's going to put a billion. dollars on the line to make the next big. series side note it's not just a money. pit if it's executed well it's going to. be very lucrative some sources state.
that the Game of Thrones franchise made. HBO Max about $3.1 billion in just. subscriptions which is about double what. it costs to produce and make the whole. show so that's a pretty good return. that's like a $1.5 billion return and. then just the future retention of. subscription based clients that are. going to stay on the platform after the. show is over I mean it's huge on top of. that Jeff Bezos is worth over $200. billion so spending a billion dollars.
would be the equivalent of if someone. has $200 and they spend a dollar or if. you have $2,000 you're spending $10 but. a billion dollar is still a billion. dollars and if they pull all of this off. it's going to be one of the most. expensive series to create of all time. so for eight months Jeff Bezos has his. top team on the deal in order to spend a. billion dollars to create a multi-season. Sci-Fi show and to bring more viewers to.
Amazon Prime video there's a few. obstacles there's there's a few Hoops. that they have to jump through first of. all they have to get the licensing. rights to the English adaptation of the. three body problem the owner of the. copyright so the owner of the. intellectual property the IP is a. Chinese gaming company called Yuzu. gaming it is one of the biggest gaming. companies in all of China once they. secure the rights which is probably the. trickiest part because Amazon is. reportedly going up against Disney and. Netflix who are all basically racing to.
try and create the next Game of Thrones. series all fighting for the three body. problem rights but once they get past. that massive hurdle then they got to go. into production which is a whole other. Mountain finding the right producers the. right directors the right cast and to do. all of it in a timely manner and stay. under budget which you're like a billion. dollars shouldn't it be easy apparently. it's a very difficult feat and they're. this close Amazon is this close to. closing the deal the CEO of Yuzu is.
flying in from China from Shanghai to. Los Angeles for an in-person meeting and. from what Amazon can tell I mean he. seems he seems ready to sell them the. rights the Amazon Executives they're. waiting in this massive conference room. in La for the Yuzu team to arrive and of. course the CEO of the Yuzu gaming. company billionaire Lynn Chi he's the. founder and CEO and one of the youngest. billionaires in all of China a few. minutes later later the door to the.
conference room slams open a whole. Entourage of Chinese men walk in and the. Amazon Executives they're staring at. each other because and again this has. nothing to do with race but um it looks. like the CEO of Yuzu but it doesn't look. like the CEO of Yuzu why is he dressed. like a full-on gangster this is how they. described it gold chain tight shirt. black blazer expensive basketball. sneakers and a million-dollar Richard. Mill watch on his wrist the CEO of looks. like gangsters yeah he they said they.
look like gangsters the CEO of Yuzu. 38-year-old Lynn he sits down at the. head of the table and this probably does. not help with the whole gangster idea. but um he sits back on one of those. conference wheelie chairs and he kicks. his feet up onto the table just like no. way yes it is so unexpected the Amazon. team is so confused but also they got to. act like it's just another normal. Tuesday for them their legal team pulls. out the paperwork work 8 months almost.
34 of the fiscal year have been working. on this deal and it's all about to pay. off all CEO Lynn of Yuzu all he needs to. do is sign on the dotted line like we. all agreed upon right Amazon makes some. pleasantries with CEO Lynn likely. they're promising him how seriously. they're taking this project how they're. going to bring the three body problem to. the global audience and it's going to do. the series Justice and Lyn's got this.
pen in his hand Jeff Bezos is about to. have a really good day I mean they're. one signature away from closing this. deal when Lynn Yuzu CEO leans back in. his chair and he says let's do a joint. production. instead and Boom game over he just blew. up the deal because he just asked let's. co-produce the show and you don't get. the rights to the English adaptation. we'll do it together the meeting is over.
the Amazon team has to now go tell Jeff. Bezos a billionaire that he indeed is. not going to have a good day but they're. not the only ones having a bad day they. realize as they're walking out of the. conference room the Yuzu Executives they. look kind of surprised they look Beyond. maddened at CE Lyn's last minute idea. and it's very interesting because it. seems like the Yuzu team was also taken. by surprise too that their CEO was just. going to blow up the deal like that so. he flew in here like under the premise. of oh this deal is closing but for. whatever reason he just decided not to.
do it last minute but he flew in here. and went through most of the meeting. right yes so he changed his mind like. last minute and it seems like the whole. user team that also flew in with him. they seem surprised too it seems like. that was not the conversation that they. had up until this very last moment in. this meeting got it the Amazon executive. said there was thick tension in that. Yuzu executive group a year and 11. months later the same CEO CEO Lynn would.
be interviewed and asked because the. three-body problem was going to make an. English adaptation not through Amazon. but through Netflix so he's going on. this whole press tour and he was asked. what do you think you're going to think. about on your deathbed and he responded. I guess the only thing I don't want to. think about is I don't want to ask. myself how did I destroy the three body. problem billionaire Lyn Chi CEO of Uzu. gaming owner of the three body problem.
IP billionaire of China would be. mysteriously murdered 3 months after. signing an exclusive deal with Netflix. later when an Insider at Amazon was. asked about his death they said yeah. well I wasn't that surprised. [Music].
we would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for rotten. mango to support World Central Kitchen a. nonprofit that is at the front lines. they help provide fresh meals to. survivors of disasters and humanitarian. crisises and as of right now their focus. is providing fresh meals to Palestinians. in Gaza this episode's Partnerships have. also made a possible to support rotten.
Mango's growing team of dedicated. researchers and translators we would. also like to thank our listeners for. your continued support as we work on our. mission to be worthy Advocates of these. causes as always full show notes are. available at Rotten mango podcast.com. and before we get started a few quick. disclaimers I am not a physics expert or. a science fiction Enthusiast even though. I am trying to be recently I did try my. best to research the three body problem. plot and universe and a lot of the. central themes and Concepts but we did.
mainly focus our research on the crime. of today's case and not necessarily on. the book itself so please if there's. anything that is summarized a bit much. or not exactly how it's presented in the. book please let me know and with that. being said let's get started Christmas. Day 2020 most of Shanghai is pretty. quiet it's middle of lockdowns it's. holiday season so most of the commercial. buildings the spaces they're completely. shut down doors are locked lights are. off except one single building in the.
middle of the financial district in. Shanghai the headquarters for a massive. gaming company called Yuzu every single. floor of this building every single. office the lights are on and if you were. to get binoculars and look through the. floors you would see people office. workers just scrambling from room to. room holding papers holding their phone. they look. distressed they're scrambling to get it. together because if they don't their. stock is going to plummet to the ground. and billions of dollars are going to be.
lost but what is there to say right. their founder and CEO was killed but. don't worry guys everything's going to. be okay we're going to publish a new. game he might have been murdered by. someone inside the company but don't. worry Don't Panic we've got everything. under. control but absolutely nothing is under. control the founder died without a will. that means his three underage children. are going to automatically inherit. majority shares of the company but. they're underage so then does that mean. that his ex wife the mother of the three.
children is going to take over she's. never even been in the business before. and as the chaos just keeps going and. going and influencer shows up at the. office with a small baby in her arms and. she's like hey this is the dead CO's. baby and I think I deserve a piece of. Yuzu the stock prices keep plummeting. and they're tanking because in China. there is a saying a country cannot be. without a king for a day and a company. cannot be without a head for a day 11. years before Lynn's murder and the p of. yuzu's share prices there was this tiny.
old little bookstore right next to the. train station and a woman named song. thought yeah okay I might as well pop in. and see if I can find anything. interesting for my long train ride she. walks in and the first thing that. catches her eye is this Illustrated. magazine called sci-fi world it's a. collection of all these random sci-fi. stories I mean imagine a little Magazine. with 10 chapters from 10 different. sci-fi novels and they've Illustrated it. so you're going to be very engaged it's.
just one chapter a month so the next. month you buy the same magazine and you. get the next chapter to all 10 Sci-Fi. series it's fun it's low commitment I. mean if song hates a story she's not. stuck with it for the only source of. entertainment for the rest of the train. ride she can just skip to the next story. s grabs her bag she grabs her new little. magazine hops onto the train finds a. seat and she starts reading now you know. those stories that are so good you. forget where you even are you don't even. feel like you're on the train until. somebody bumps into your arm and they're.
just like walking past the aisle and you. have this moment of like oh my God yeah. oh I'm on the train it's probably as. close to teleporting as humans can get. right now song's body is on the train. but she is deep she is in the thick of. the three body problem Universe what do. you mean all the top scientists are. dying this is the premise of the three. body problem when the first. world-renowned scientist self exits the. scientific Community they go into.
mourning they're grieving but then. another one another scientist dies and. then another scientist and another. scientist in Rapid succession back to. back at this point the United States Air. Force NATO CIA the UN the United Nations. they all start taking notice it's a. moment of pause of okay just numbers. wise in this quick time frame that. doesn't even make sense their deaths. need to be connected somehow because. what are the odds of this maybe they. discovered something that is so life. shattering that they can't proceed or.
perhaps maybe there's a company that. sells scientific tools like testing. tubes and they're all been poisoned with. hazardous. material they realize that the exact. opposite has happened the science that. the scientists already know no longer. makes sense it no longer works imagine. you wake up one day and everyone is. telling you 2 plus 2 does not equal four. anymore we don't know how but it just. doesn't we don't even know how it used. to be four but it's no longer for we. don't know what it is we don't know what.
2 plus 2 is. anymore one of the scientists even left. behind a note all the evidence points to. a single conclusion physics has never. existed and will never. exist there wasn't even a signature on. it a brilliant mind just gone after. writing those weird ominous words like. what do you mean physics never existed. yes it does and somehow all of these. scientist deaths all the roads they lead. to a woman named named Y weni weni is a.
brilliant Chinese astrophysicist and she. takes after her dad well she did before. he was murdered in front of her face. wendi's dad was a physics professor at. the top university in China chingua. which was not something that was. appreciated during the cultural. revolution so the book does kind of take. some inspiration from history and maybe. he could have continued his research. discreetly in private but his own wife. and one of his own daughters wendi's. sister betrayed him turned him into the.
authorities and reported him for. teaching materials in his class that. went against the rule of the country he. was murdered in front of his family as. punishment and also as a warning to. everybody else and for not betraying her. father like her own mother and sister. did Wendi had to watch her father get. murdered she was labeled as a traitor. and thrown into a prison and she's going. through this very vulnerable moment she. has an overwhelming sense of betrayal. from her own mother and sister her. country and her dad and the only one.
that she might have been able to go to. for comfort the only person that she. could have perhaps turned to was a. professor who also served as like a. mother-like figure but when she goes to. her office she finds out she has also. been killed and it's just back to back. Wendi is going through it I mean the. worst things imaginable just happened. like a normal Thursday for weni and then. in prison weni is forced to denounce her. father as a crazy man with conspiracies. and not a brilliant physics scientist. which she refuses which results in.
freezing cold water being dumped on her. and her almost freezing to death and. dying and so from there from prison. Wendi is recruited to work at this very. secret military base located in the. mountains the only thing there is this. giant satellite at the very tip toop of. the mountain a giant radar dish and this. is very interesting because she is. imprisoned for her knowledge but they. also want to utilize it and use it for. their purposes the military sector that. she is to a degree forced to work for.
their purpose is top secret it is to. search for extraterrestrial life it's to. look for aliens weni being the smartest. person there she discovers the best way. to send messages into the universe like. hello for other forms of life to hear. and try to communicate with is to. amplify the message by using the sun. think of it this way they're throwing. out messages into the universe but. nobody's responding because it's not. going far enough they're still staying. in their solar system so they need to.
make it go further and they use the sun. almost like a magnifying glass almost as. a messenger she keeps sending message. after message to the son and finally 8. years later wheni gets a message back. she starts freaking out but she doesn't. tell anyone else on the base or even her. superiors that somebody responded that. they just received a message instead she. silently opens it herself and the. message is nothing like like what she. expected for the past 8 years I mean.
what do you expect from Aliens to say. for 8 years you just say hello the. message reads three lines do not answer. do not answer do not. answer wheni is holding her breath she's. waiting she doesn't know what that means. and then another message pops up this. world has received your message I am a. pacifist in this world it's the luck of. your civilization that I am the first to. receive your message but I am more war. in you do not answer do not answer do.
not answer there are tens of millions of. stars in your direction as long as you. do not answer this world will not be. able to ascertain the source of your. transmission but if you do answer the. source will be located right away your. planet will be invaded and your world. will be conquered do not answer do not. answer do not. answer Wendi doesn't know it yet but. this is a message from the s t which. which directly translates to three.
bodies they are aliens that no longer. have a stable planet to reside on and. now they want to take over Earth the. green message is flashing on her screen. and Wendi is strangely excited she's. shocked she's scared I mean for 8 years. she's been sending message after message. to the Sun and she had I don't know. maybe the world's first confirmation. right here on her screen that the. universe is not empty that they're not. alone in this galaxy which means whoever. is sending this message to her right now. is if her calculations are correct 400.
light years. away even if they travel at top speed to. Earth they will arrive 400 years. later wheni hesitates what does that. mean like what what is she going to do. with this information but she has this. realization that Humanity will never. save itself from itself all Humanity. does is justify their actions and focus. on their own pain when Wendi saw her mom.
again after her dad's murder because her. mom betrayed their father when she saw. the guard that actually murdered her. father they both felt Justified neither. of them apologized to weni they both. felt like it's normal to inflict pain on. others because they themselves are in. pain humanity is selfish humanity is. incapable of solving its own problems. humanity is actually Beyond saving. unless unless someone from the outside. can.
help so she clicks send the message she. sends reads come here I will help you. conquer this world our civilization is. no longer capable of solving its own. problems we need your Force to. intervene and now start the clock the. extraterrestrials are coming for Earth. and who's to say that they're going to. listen to weni who guarantees that they. even care about our civilization's. problems and that's it that's the end of. the chapter and song the woman on the.
train reading this she's getting. frustrated the other little chapters in. this little magazine they don't even. compare to what she just read in the. three body problem what's going to. happen I mean I don't even understand. the rest of the train ride she's just. waiting for the train to stop so that. she can run off find the nearest. bookstore and buy the whole freaking. novel read it start to finish analyze it. get into the story hi I'm looking for. the novel called three body problem the. bookstore clerk says sorry never heard. of it you can try an older bookstore if. you need but I don't think that sounds.
like a new book song runs out there and. goes to the next bookstore hi I'm. looking for the novel called three body. problem oh uh never heard of it we don't. carry that book sorry song is losing her. freaking mind she just needs to know. what happens to wji what happens to. Earth what are the aliens going to come. what happens when they come is weni. going to be alive when they arrive I. mean she's so desperate she begs for a. copy of the book online she's going to. sci-fi forums I'm willing to pay I'm. willing to pay whatever you need. she finally gets some sort of response I.
don't have the book but I have a full. set of the Sci-Fi magazines that you are. reading and I guess you could purchase. them all from me and you would be able. to kind of piece together most of the. story song agrees she pays several times. the original price to get her hands on. this freaking book her husband notices. how obsessive she's becoming and he's. kind of intrigued over dinner that's all. she can talk about is the three body. problem what do you think is going to. happen honey when the aliens come she's. laying in bed bed talking to him about. how genius this whole storyline is and.
she would excitedly tell him yeah okay. I'm reading a book on how aliens are. going to come to Earth in 400 years. which honestly fine great sci-fi it. doesn't have the most relatable plots. out there but this is what everybody. says about the three body problem it. feels like I'm reading a book on. myself about the nature of humans rather. than just really crazy alien storyline. of an alien invasion if feels like I'm. reading about.
us wait why did they not think about. this before this is the greatest idea. ever the couple are laying in bed and. they decide we should purchase the. rights to turn this random little novel. that nobody knows about into a. movie coincidentally the couple are in. the entertainment industry song the wife. the woman on the train is a screenwriter. and the husband is a director okay. they're nothing impressive sorry no.
offense but they do have enough money to. buy the rights from the author or at. least try to song calls the magazine. customer service line to ask for the. author's contact information and they go. to meet up with. him there is a factory in the mountains. of China where a man named Leo tishin. has been working for the past 25 years. we're going to call him elsc well. Define working he was employed in the. factory in the mountains he was was. getting paid but he wasn't really.
working you know that's what some. sources say he was assigned to his. position by the government and everyone. was assigned a computer to work on every. single day but nobody knows what they're. doing they were just assigned this. random job but also their managers don't. know what they were doing because they. were also assigned their managerial jobs. so nobody knows what they're doing in. this Factory all the employees would do. is come in sit in front of their. computers and just tippy tappy away they. would look like they're doing some. legitimate work and as long as you don't. look suspicious nobody's going to. investigate what you're typing away on.
your screens and it's likely that while. Elsie is sitting there he starts kind of. losing his mind he's going to plop over. from boredom and under stimulation he's. just thinking up random ideas and he. comes across the three body problem plot. in his mind it just kind of comes to him. and he doesn't think much of it and he. said it started off like a short story. but it just kept growing and expanding. in my mind like a plant and he would. start tip tapping away on his work. computer was writing his book and he.
said I especially really liked those. lowquality monitors at work where you. can tilt the angle of your screen just a. tiny bit and nobody can see what you're. doing allegedly that's how he wrote The. Three body problem book he published the. first book to the series the trilogy the. three body problem in. 1999 and then nothing the sales were. underwhelming and he just kept working. away at the factory nobody knew that. this would be the book that former. president Barack Obama meta CEO Mark.
Zuckerberg Game of Thrones Creator. George R Martin and Amazon founder Jeff. Bezos would be absolutely fascinated by. former president Barack Obama would say. this series is wildly imaginative I mean. just really really fascinating the sheer. scope of the book was immense it's made. day-to-day problems with Congress at the. time seem fairly Petty the book written. in the factory in the mountains would go. on to sell 9 million copies worldwide. but at the time Elsie did not know any.
of that he was barely making any money. from the books and he just got laid off. from his job and he is about to get. taken advantage of now I would not feel. too bad for this author because he has. made some really unhinged comments that. I can't even really dive into because. some of our relatives that live in the. area that has asked us not to comment. because my comments can impact their. lives yeah don't feel bad for this guy. is what I'm trying to say so at this. point in time in Elsie's life he has no. idea that everything is about to change.
if he just sticks it out for perhaps. another year that he's going to be known. as the father of science fiction in. China instead he makes a deal with who I. imagine he believe would be the closest. to the devil at that point in 2009 right. after being laid off by the factory this. is 10 years since he published the three. bodybody problem Elsie's got no money to. feed his kids he's got nowhere to go if. they get kicked out of their home he's. pretty much hit rock bottom when this. random couple calls him the husband is a.
director the wife is a screenwriter I. don't know he's never heard of him and. they start offering him random figures. for the IP the intellectual property for. the three body problem they know that. this guy is struggling they know that. the author just got laid off and they. know that even when he was working in. the factory he was making like $100 a. month that's $11,200 a year now I just. want to put a disclaimer here it is not. publicly known how much the couple paid. for the IP but it is rumored to be. around the ballpark of$ 15,000 USD.
$115,000 that is like nothing and the. couple probably knew that since they. work in the industry and they know that. the author really really needs the money. song and her husband they get really. aggressive with it too so they purchase. the IP for all of the movie and TV. rights for all three books of his three. body Trilogy the three body problem Dark. Forest and death's end the author hadn't. even finished writing the third book yet. and they wanted the movie rights to the. Future work so declar ify the author has. other series that he's written that have.
also become super successful he. maintains the royalties off the book. sales of the three body problem he's. just selling the movie and TV rights as. well as merchandising rights like the. intellectual property to turn it into. games to turn it into a theme park if. they so wish so this couple they're. getting the deal of a lifetime people. liking it to picking up a rock on the. street just a random Rock dusting it off. only to discover it's a 10 karat diamond. like what are the odds of that do you.
know what the fmy Paradox is M imagine. you're in your front yard Watering your. flowers your family is inside your house. dancing to music while they're cooking. up a breakfast your dog is running. around in the backyard you're busy. swatting away all these bees and oh my. God you see this cute little bird on. your bird feeder and there is just so. much life on your house outside on the. lawn inside your house but then when you. look to your left where your neighbor is. supposed to be if you had one it's just.
a Barren desert. land you have green grass you've got all. these cute little animals and birds. flying around you've got all of this and. to the right is just a Barren desert. land and then you look to the other side. to the left more Barren desert land so. one day you get curious you send a drone. out for as long as the Drone goes and. you send it all the way down what would. be probably down the neighborhood. nothing there's nothing just barren. desert land so then you hook up the.
Drone to the biggest battery you can. find and send it all the way out and it. comes back and it's just Barren desert. land it doesn't look abandoned it. doesn't look like someone was there and. then left there's just no signs of Life. anywhere outside of your tiny little. lawn and your tiny little house so your. house is in the middle of the desert. yeah and you're the only one with green. grass and all these animals and plants. that are thriving but that doesn't make. any sense because what are the odds that. you found the only patch of livable area.
like that doesn't even make sense that. your house is the only thing in the. entire universe that has. life so the Paradox is if that doesn't. make sense that means there is other. life out there but then how come we. don't see them or hear them or know. about them why don't they reach out to. us the scary answer would be we don't. see them because they're hiding the Dark. Forest Theory according to the three. body problem is a very dark take on the. fmy Paradox which is each civilization's.
goal ultimately is survival nothing else. there are questions between humans about. are humans inherently good or are we. inherently bad are we evil or are we. moral people but if you really look at. the infinite unknown Universe At The. Universal scale none of that really. matters is what the Dark Forest Theory. says the only thing that matters to. humanity and all life out there in the. universe is surv. at the end of the day good and evil mean.
nothing so the Dark Forest Theory goes. as follows the universe is a dark Forest. every civilization is a hunter with a. gun they are armed Hunters stalking. through the trees like a ghost gently. pushing aside branches that block the. path and they try to move without. creating sound even breathing is done. with care the hunter has to be careful. because everywhere in the forest there. are stealthy Hunters like himself if he. finds another life if he finds another. Hunter an angel or demon a delicate.
infant or a tottering old man a fairy or. a demigod there is only one thing the. hunter can do open fire and eliminate. them because in this Forest hell is. other people it does not matter if you. think the hunter you're staring at in. the dark Forest is good or evil weak or. strong the only thing that makes sense. in this split moment is to shoot and. eliminate the hunter because if you do. not they will do it to you they're going.
to turn around and they will shoot you. because in this Dark Forest the only. thing that matters is survival the. struggle for survival rules over. everything else which translates to. shoot first apologize. later which is basically what the couple. did when they purchased the rights from. the author within a year of selling the. film and TV rights to the train couple. three body problem starts blowing up. everyone wants it to be turned into a. movie and the couple are foaming at the. mouth they start hosting press.
conferences in Beijing where they invite. representatives from the top film. production companies and they have their. two lawyers just standing right next to. them ready to sign an 8f figure deal. that nobody. wants like if the couple were just. trying to sell the IP for the three body. problem no strings attached there would. have been a massive bidding war but the. couple present a deal that nobody wants. to take on the couple State we have to. be involved in the three body problem. production uction the offer is we want.
to have six episodes a six film series. with an investment of around 25 million. for each of the movies we want to be. heavily involved the husband will be. 1,000% the director and the wife will be. a th% the screenwriter so they want a. bunch of people to invest money for them. to make this crazy six-part movie Yes. like the next Harry Potter series. there's a saying in China where if. there's a man laying on the couch. no matter how much you want them to.
stand up no matter how much you're. trying to drag them if they're just like. limp dead weight on the couch you're not. going to get them to stand up it doesn't. matter how much Blood Sweat and Tears. you put into that person they're going. to stay laying on that couch they're. going to stay. horizontal the couple's skills are. basically non-existent even if they had. Jeff bezos's resources they would not be. able to pull this movie off unless they. use those resources to fire themselves. and hire new screen writers and. directors I mean no offense okay like.
they're they're that bad just. subjectively speaking the husband the. director he had never directed anything. of this kind of magnitude with this kind. of budget it's like giving a person. who's only recreationally kayaked maybe. they kayaked once or twice in their life. giving them the steering wheel to a mega. yacht or a massive cargo ship and then. expecting them to do a good job at. sailing the boat nobody's going to have. a good time it's going to be Rough. Waters and that's not my personal.
opinion you know how movies and shows. are reviewed and they're rated on a. scale of 1 through 10 even if you were. to take every existing work that the. couple had already completed they had I. think two TV shows four movies prior to. all of this if you added up all of the. scores it would still not hit the two. digits it would not hit 10 I mean. they're all rated horribly I think the. highest rating that they ever got was. like a five yeah it it's it's pretty bad. the investors entertainment companies. production companies nobody wants it not.
even the fans they're terrified they. were all over social media at this point. because remember the paron three body. problem where the main villain weni of. the series gets a message from the. aliens saying do not answer do not. answer do not answer well fans responded. to the couple's multi-million dollar. Proposal with the words do not film do. not film do not film because they'd. rather no movie than a ruined movie yeah. that makes sense nobody want wants the. three body problem bad enough to put up. with this couple except billionaire Lynn.
Chi he is one of the youngest self-made. billionaires in China at this point he. was worth $2.2 billion he built his. fortune off of knowing what people want. and then giving it to them which in this. case big chested woman in video. games yeah okay so his company USU. gaming had some very large assets in. their games yes one of their biggest. games to date is called League of Ang. which features very exaggerated.
characteristics in their design process. Lynn knows what his audience is looking. for and he delivers on it and it made. him a billionaire right we can't hate on. that so within just three years of. finding Yuzu games he becomes one of the. youngest CEOs of a publicly traded. company and at 33 years old he becomes a. billionaire wow in 2020 just the first. three quarters of the Year from January. to the end of September y's Revenue was. over 500 million. in the US there's only about a thousand.
companies that make over $500 million a. year this is like the top of the top of. the game but I will say that users games. are not necessarily seen as a worldclass. standard for gaming if anything their. games are kind of pooped on by the. online community some netizens would go. as far to say if the goat of gaming is. Blizzard Yuzu is the goat sh yeah. apparently a lot of yuzu's games would. just pull from other games they would. take the plot details fight sequences.
even digital Aesthetics just taking bits. and pieces from other games and then. Frankenstein them release them to the. public but even then some people would. enjoy it they said it's the type of game. that you don't waste too much time or. money on you don't get too invested it's. just a silly game that you play on the. toilet but that's yuzu's strategy you. target the lower end players you focus. on making affordable but fun games that. don't require gaming computers to play. because it's so high quality you keep it. cheap to develop cheap to play for the. masses I mean there's a large market for.
it clearly I mean he's a billionaire he. was not oblivious to what people thought. of his games either he said something. along the lines of when an affordable. shoe brand starts releasing shoes as. long as they can be worn wton they're. going to sell even if they start leaking. after a rainy day insinuating not. everybody has money for Gucci Footwear. but also don't expect the world's best. shoes without paying that price there's. a market for everyone before Lynn went. on to run one of the most successful.
profitable gaming companies in China he. was just a little kid working in a coal. mine I'm serious there was one day he. worked there 14 hours in the dark scary. dangerous coal mines he came up after. his shift just coal all over his face he. sees the sunlight again breathing in. that fresh crisp air after 14 hours of. dust swirling in his lungs and he tells. himself I'm never going to be in a. situation ever again where I have to. work in that Coal Mine which he wouldn't. ever have to ever again because his.
parents own the coal mine yeah Lynn is. the son of a wealthy businessman who. owns a few coal mines and they made him. work One Singular day in the coal mines. as a wakeup call to give you some. context Lynn's parents have money but. they also have zero time so Lynn's whole. childhood he doesn't really remember his. parents but he does remember that they. would send him living expenses every. single month and by living expenses I. mean allowance for take out food he. would have to buy takeout every day for.
him and his little sister he was likely. one of the wealthier kids in the. neighborhood but every day he was. starving he was forced to beg his. neighbors and family and friends for. cash what happened to the money that. your parents sent to you what what are. you talking about you need money he used. it all to play video games at the arcade. Lynn said he got really really good at. the art of negotiating the art of. yapping at this point because wealthy. family blows money on video games I mean. who's going to want to lend him money.
nobody unless he can somehow convince. them he gets by for a while before. somebody tells his parents what's going. on so his parents they pull him out of. class one day throw him into the coal. mines and they did not actually. initially plan on letting him work in. the coal mines they just wanted to take. him down there and be like see you got. to do this and they're screaming at him. if you don't study hard you're going to. have to dig coal in the future is that. what you want to do Lynn has the. audacity to look at his parents and say. I think coal mining sounds pretty good.
I'm quite interested actually so after. 14 hours he's practically crying at the. sky kissing the ground and he said I. will never forget that kind of coldness. and that kind of Darkness coming back up. seeing the light it felt like heav so he. snaps out of it and since that day all. he does is study for the college. entrance exams he missed chinga. University which is like the Harvard of. China by two points he ends up at the. naning University instead which is still. a really impressive school he's majoring. in computer information management and.
he's just back to his old ways he's. smart enough to get by with minimal. effort and the rest of the time in. college he's in his dorm room all the. curtains are closed he's playing video. games and eating Cup lemen every single. day that's all he's doing after college. he's spending a good chunk of his time. kind of rotting in his bedroom during. the day he was working for at first he. started at like the AT&T of China then. later he moves to Huawei Huawei which is. like the apple of China right but the.
corporate life not really his Vibe he. doesn't like it he likes to do things. his own way he doesn't like to ask his. manager for permission to do things that. he already knows more about than his. manager to begin with so he starts. raising capital in 2005 he gets $55,000. in his account and he decides I'm going. to develop a property management. software company it's definitely a case. of he's following where he thinks the. money's going to be but it's clear he's. just not into it within a few years. company goes bankrupt then he does it.
again new company goes bankrupt then. again new company goes bankrupt three. failed companies and Lynn has no clue. what he's going to do next but he's like. you know what one thing's for sure I'm. not going to be coal mining okay I'm not. going to get a job either he basically. said at this point I like the idea of. printing business cards with my name on. it and being my own boss and calling. myself a Founder so let me just try to. do something fun.

I want to do he founds Yuzu gaming in. 2009 I mean he technically I guess you. could say has 20 years of experience in. gaming because he would do that like 15.
hours a day and he starts working back. then there used to be games where you. would have to purchase the CD for which. I I still believe exists but you would. have to get a CD put it into your. computer and then you would play the. game on the CD and it was just a lot but. around the time that Yuzu was founded it. was the beginning stages of internet. games where you would just get on your. little computer and instead of going to. the store buying a CD you would just. just type in tetris.com and without. going to the store you would be able to.
play Tetris on your computer without a. CD Yuzu was one of the bigger web game. companies for a while they were like. part of that Trend the initial Trend the. first game that they ever released was. called 36 tactics it was a strategy game. which surprisingly did really well. outside of China Yuzu starts catching on. to that very quickly and they start. catering their games to people outside. of China using Chinese Aesthetics so. they released a game called a sword in. 10 years which was influenced by Chinese.
traditional martial arts but it was. digestible for foreigners so it does. really well by 2011 the company was. consistently launching games every month. or every other month and by then Lyn's. personal net worth broke a billion. dollars he's at the top of the wealthy. list in China and I will say a lot of. people were not the most fond of Yuzu or. the most fond of Lynn he was someone who. really appreciated did the Finer Things. in life he's one of the youngest CEOs on.
the billionaire list and he definitely. was not afraid to spend money I guess. you could say that this man really knew. how to live life the wealthy way if he. liked something he wanted the highest. quality the best version of it all the. time he had this obsession with tea. specifically Pura tea which is fermented. tea it's pretty intense it's actually. known as one of the te's that you really. only see very serious tea drinkers or. collectors drinking they call it the. champagne P of tea because it's really. only grown in one region of the world in.
the yunan province of Southwest China. there are other places that can Harvest. this type of Tea Leaf if I'm not. mistaken but it would be called. something else the tea leaves go through. natural fermentation it can last for. months or even years depending on the. Tea Leaf apparently the longer the tea. ferments the more flavor there is they. say it ages like fine wine and some of. the tea leaves for this specific tea can. be over a thousand years old like the. top of the line can easily go for $5,000.
a pound of tea leaves yeah it's it's. like a huge thing yeah one Enthusiast. described it as like a perfume the way. the tea hits you the way it hits your. mouth the way that it Trails after you. swallow it the feeling is akin to. exhilaration Lynn would send his. assistants or his tea collector. specifically to that region in China. that makes that tea to purchase it on. site because he doesn't want to just get. like get a random bag of tea they need.
to pick the specific tea leaves he was. very serious about the things that he. liked he also very much likes wine so he. created his own little wi fund where he. invested $5 million just to acquire the. world's finest wines he even constructed. this massive kitchen next to the Yuzu. headquarters where he had two Michelin. star chefs sitting around just on. standby ready to cook a meal for him. whenever he has has a little craving I. mean he truly was a character the CEO of.
Matan which is like the Uber of China. said this about Lynn he's got the. strength of a dragon and the fierceness. of a tiger he's full of energy he's a. force to be reckoned with and you know. more on that like more on the fierceness. of the tiger aspect apparently Lynn is. incredibly hot-tempered he's got this. short fuse there's allegations that he. could not even go 10 20 seconds without. interrupting someone but other people. said well not really. I mean I mean I guess you could put it. that way but it's more of the fact that.
Lynn is super direct and he's very. intense when he's expressing his. thoughts compared to other people people. who are not used to his level of passion. they would call it a bad temper that's a. very nice way of putting it I mean. perhaps both are true at the same time. but all I know is Lynn is a very. polarizing figure either people love him. and respect him or they love respect and. fear Him or they hate him despise him. and fear him because one way or the. other how do you not fear a billionaire. some of his other billionaire friends.
said I just think that the public is. scared of his ambition he was always. there holding a glass of expensive wine. talking about his imaginative thoughts. for the future the guy is full of dreams. and his next ambition was to globalize. the Chinese entertainment industry. eventually Lynn wants to Pivot Yuzu away. from affordable online games to real. content he said in the early days Yu's. team goal was simple and pure get things. done to be honest I'm a very realistic. person but my reality is different from.
ordinary reality I think games can make. me wealthy and enable me to create value. only when you have money can you realize. your ideals and dreams and his dream was. to create a new IP that would live on. even after he's gone a whole Legacy. create a whole universe that would rival. the likes of Harry Potter Star Wars Lord. of the Rings I mean isn't that crazy one. person or a few people they think of. something in their minds they create. like this fake universe and it's so good. that it becomes part of the real.
universe that everybody loves this world. that it becomes part of the real world. that's deep that's what Lynn wants and. he wants to bring Chinese culture and. talent into it he said our movie. industry is still dominated by Hollywood. every time aliens attack Earth the globe. why is it that only American solders. save Earth he wants to become the. world's leading provider of. entertainment services create the. Chinese Marvel and the only way to get.
there that he felt build a whole. universe around the IP of a famous. series is the three body. problem in the three body problem series. The Santi the aliens who want to invade. Earth they send a collective message to. all the humans to all of humanity before. they arrive on the planet three simple. words you are. bugs you are. bugs we are bugs we are bugs humans are. bugs to them now 7 years after the.
couple acquire the IP for the three body. problem they purchased it from the. author Lynn billionaire Lynn licenses it. from them so he's not buying the rights. he's saying okay I'm going to co-produce. a sixf film series with you like let's. start with the first movie finally. somebody wants to work with the couple. after 7 years Lynn even has the author. come on to the project as an executive. producer he's willing to hire the top. VFX special effects teams from Hollywood.
a lot of the big names at the time were. casted to be part of this series and. when they finally wrapped filming they. had the first version of Lynn's hopes. and dreams basically on a disc in their. hands he's so excited he invited his. closest friends and family over and some. of the top film critics in the whole. nation to come and witness the first. ever viewing of the first ever film of. the three body project after they. watched the movie the whole room was.
silent I mean nobody even knew what to. say about it it was just so the ones. that were a bit nervous around Lynn they. came up to him and they said it is so so. good so moving so touching I mean. captivating. really however I do think it's a little. bit too forward thinking for the. mainstream audience you know they're all. kind of dumb and this is too artistic I. think I'm scared that this type of art.
this level of craft and creative. expression is just going to go over the. general audience's heads you know it's. just um almost too good yeah the other. people the ones that weren't scared of. Lynn so probably just his friends and. family they looked at him and just said. bluntly are you sure that was a movie. that felt like a PowerPoint like a. PowerPoint presentation the movie was. filmed with 50.
screenwriters they would go scene by. scene 50 screen writers to write a. 2-hour movie I mean think about it this. way Game of Thrones for like all I don't. know eight seasons only had seven. screenwriters seven wow yeah so 50 I. mean each scene is probably written by a. different screenwriter so the whole tone. the messaging the plot it's all lost. every 2 seconds a whole new Vibe a whole. new in a whole new Direction and they're. not even communicating well it's like. they stitch together the worst group.
project ever just relay racing this. each screenwriter would write a few. minutes stop randomly I wouldn't even be. surprised if they stopped mids sentence. then it would be passed on to the next. screenwriter then the next I mean to. give you an idea again seven screen. riters for Game of Thrones they're using. 50 it just makes zero logical sense I. mean it doesn't more does not mean. better I don't know I guess they thought. thought more the better the more the. better the couple were interviewed the.
couple the director and the main screen. writer the one that owned the rights to. the IP they were interviewed during a. press release for this movie or at least. the announcing of the production for. this movie and the husband the director. said that his biggest challenge for this. film would be the special effects he. said he spent Years Learning green. screen. technology green screen just adding. green screen in the back yeah. precisely which is also very interesting. because a lot of the editors working on.
this movie allegedly Mass walked out on. their jobs they were having to sit there. 20 hours a day editing the green screen. so let me give you an idea let's say my. background is a green screen it would. have to fit the whole frame right and. then you would put a little background. on it the director did not buy a green. screen that was big enough even if the. editors had put in a background the. edges of the frame would still not be. green screened and then there were Parts. in the middle that were not correctly.
green screened I mean it was crazy so. the editors had to sit there crop out. green and then Place Green in the parts. that were not green screened and then. they could overlay a background on it it. was absolutely horrendous and also. remember the special effects company. that they wanted to work with in. Hollywood one of the biggest names I. believe they worked on Harry Potter they. declined the footage they declined it so. they get the raw footage of the three. body problem and they said what is this.
like that's not that's not what we're. supposed to be doing apparently the. couple did not know that if you're. working with a special effects company. before you send them the footage they. work with you collaboratively they make. sure that you get the right raw footage. that they need in order to do the. special effects you can't just send them. random foot like I can't just send them. this video and be like okay well can you. special effects like an alien invading. right now thank you so much like you. can't just do. that they thought you just use it like a.
dry cleaner you show up after your shirt. is covered in stains and they fix it. that's not how it works also I don't. think that the special effects company. wanted their name anywhere near this. project by all accounts it was probably. the worst movie made in that budget. range to date the couple end up taking. the footage to a domestic special. effects company which I'm sure they're. great but they're no worldclass leader. in special effects also they go bankrupt. before they can finish editing the three. body. POA the special effects company the. second company yeah went bankrupt went.
bankrupt what is going on exactly so a. lot of the edits had to be done inhouse. which like I said the editors are. flipping their desk walking out on this. job it's just nothing is going right. which honestly maybe the editors. wouldn't have walked out on their jobs. just maybe if the movie had been. interesting it could keep them somewhat. entertained somewhat incentivized to. focus on this big mission while they. work but the writing the dialogue the. plotline was so horrendous you couldn't.
even say that this was the three body. problem it felt like a fanfic apparently. the wife that owns the IP the main. screenwriter she added so much of her. own original content to the scripts that. it was no longer the three-body problem. she managed to turn a masterpiece into. literally the worst Wattpad that you. could imagine she refuses to listen to. anybody including the author himself who. created the universe there were a lot of. creative Chang that were made which by. the way when you make a show a live. action of a book that has a cult.
following you have to be so thoughtful. and intentional with any of the changes. that are made because people are married. to that book they're married to that. idea that vision and when you start. altering stuff you're going to hurt a. lot of people's feelings people want to. see that book come to life not a whole. new book suddenly there's an alien that. comes to Earth in the movie that can. point a finger at you like ET and throw. you 20 feet away. like it felt like a mashup of Avengers. meets three body problem meets ET and.
it's a whole new story and it's not a. good. one Lynn is understandably very pissed I. mean he went into this project thinking. that the director would direct and the. screenwriter would write and maybe it. wouldn't have been a masterpiece but. what is this PowerPoint presentation of. a movie if he releases this movie it's. game over everything he envisioned for. himself is down the toilet he's going to. be the laughing stock everyone on the. internet will tell him to stick with. shitty games his whole plan of breaking. into the entertainment industry with.
films with universes highly valued IP is. going to crash and burn which means the. only other option is to not release this. movie and take a loss of tens of. millions of dollars that's exactly what. he's going to do but Lynn is not going. to give up on the three body problem at. this point he still wants it he just. wants to make sure that the couple stay. 10 ft away at all times from the set. from anything stay 10 ft away from the. book itself don't get involved don't be.
around get lost Lynn now wants to go in. and buy the IP the whole movie and TV. writes all of it from the couple they're. not going to direct anything they're not. going to write a single word for the. script Nothing they're going to take. their money and walk away entirely which. means it's just now a matter of exactly. how much money are we talking $27. million that is what the couple is. asking for on top of the money that they. already caused Lynn to burn through. about $55 million on the PowerPoint.
presentation they called a feature film. a lot of the production companies that. wanted the rights to the IP felt like. the couple were like bugs pesky annoying. refusing to leave not helping anyone but. themselves what is the point of your. existence but there is something you. have to remember about bugs it's a quote. from the three body problem look at them. the bugs humans have used everything in. their power to extinguish P them out of. disgust every kind of poison bug sprays. pesticides searching for and destroying.
their eggs using genetic modification to. sterilized bugs drowning them in water. every family has bug spray every desk. has a fly swatter this long War has been. going on for the entire history of human. civilization but the outcome is bugs are. still not extinct and their numbers are. no less than that of humans insects roam. Heaven and Earth just like the true. masters of the planet. H one big problem with the couple the.
bugs is I'm sure a lot of people would. do the same thing if they were in the. couple's shoes I would hope not but I. feel like you know when money is. involved they just really did not care. for the three body problem they were. willing to die with this series if. that's what made them the most money it. feels like they don't care if the fans. hate whatever they produce it feels like. they don't care about the Integrity of. the story they want to kill the entire. Trilogy and universe by releasing shitty. liveaction movies if they can profit off. of it they're like if the IP is going. down I'm going to go down with it it's.
honestly kind of wild I mean just the. principle of that that is not what Lynn. can get behind he already blew 55. million on the couple and now they want. another 27 at this point they're so. close to closing the deal the couple. come back and they say we change our. minds we want closer to 30 million we. want more money mind you they've already. somewhat taken advantage of the author. and purchased the IP rights for alleged. L. $155,000 and they're going to make 27.
million from $ 15,000 that's crazy but. they're coming back and saying actually. we deserve more for this Lynn is. aggravated at this point technically a. million dollars is nothing to somebody. like Lynn and he's losing sleep over. this whole situation it really comes. down to the principal it's infuriating. him so one day his friend pulls him. aside and nicely tells him you're going. to lose your mind okay you really are. here take this car and call this guy who. the hell is this guy he's known as the. master negotiator if you want a deal.
done you go to this guy he's a closer. they say that he can whip up a deal out. of thin air if you ask him to handle it. nothing ever goes wrong Lynn agrees to. call the master negotiator but he's a. billionaire he's going to run a few. background checks first on the guy the. guy's name is Shu Yao a lawyer we're. going to call him Shu or at least a. lawyer is what everybody thinks he is. right that's what he claims to be. nothing is for certain without a. background check a full investigation. into a so-called Master. negotiator the results come back and.
sheu really is the real deal he really. is a lawyer and he was responsible for. helping facilitate over $14 billion in. deals he works for a company called fos. sun and they acquired the Chase. Manhattan Plaza number one they acquired. a 16% stake of the Millennium Bank of. Portugal they acquired the German h&. private bank they acquired Japan's. hosino tomamu Resort Brazil's real bravo. Investments this guy's resumee is. impressive he facilitated most of those.
deals he studied law in France then went. to the US worked for the Hong Kong. office for the top US law firm at one. point and now he was the General legal. adviser for the fosen group a huge. conglomerate in China he was rumored to. be the president of fosen group's. right-hand man when it comes to mergers. and Acquisitions he leads the in-house. legal team and under his guidance they. won Asia's best legal team of the year. wow so I don't know maybe Lynn's friend.
was right if anybody's going to get him. the three body problem IP it's going to. be Shu Lynn books a meeting with Shu and. he just cuts to the point okay 2.5. million a year you know what make it. closer to 3 million a year leave your. firm and come work for Yuzu as in-house. counsil that's the deal Lynn is offering. Shu he's trying to poach the guy and. he's becoming very aggressive with it on. top of the $3 million a year if you get. this deal done you can be the president. of the subsidiary of Yuzu the three body. problem Universe oh so he wants him to.
work for him for $3 million a year and. also be the president of yes three body. problem Universe you will be one of the. highest Executives in Yuzu running one. of the world's greatest IPS I mean. that's pretty good how do you say no to. that deal within 120 days four months of. joining negotiations Shu closes the deal. instead of the over 27 close to $30. million the couple origin asked for in. 2018 Yuzu purchases the IP for the three. body problem for $16 million the three.
body problem IP was now lind's and Shu. was officially the president of the. three body problem Universe in order to. understand the three body problem I. think you have to understand the two. body problem let's say we have two stars. they're both moving and interacting with. each other based on mass gravitational. pull and a whole list of other factors. you can kind of predict the of both. stars at any given point even maybe 5. years down the line disclaimer.
technically our solar system is not a. two- body problem but for Simplicity. sake just imagine Earth and the sun. earth orbits around the Sun at a certain. speed and distance it's predictable to a. degree and for a certain period of time. it's going to be the same route you can. calculate it mathematically but then you. add in a third body let's say you add in. another Sun the same mass as the sun. that we have right now you've got these. two giant masses the Suns that are.
almost in a way fighting to bring our. Earth into their orbit they're just. fighting and we're just getting flung. around between the two suns but then you. can add another sun and now you're. flinging around between three Suns the. three body problem is a real problem in. physics it's not a problem that the book. came up with it's considered a. mathematically chaotic system you cannot. analytically with much accuracy predict. the future of the three body system.
because even if you change the. environment even if the smallest. increment of distance has been altered. the whole system goes completely chaotic. and the result becomes exponentially. different from what you have calculated. which makes the three body problem. mathematically. unsolvable Santi the aliens in the three. body problem book which translates to. three body the Santi are basically an. alien race that are faced with a three. body problem of physics in their. Universe they live in a three star solar.
system and because their tiny little. planet is orbiting around three Suns and. they're all fighting for the. gravitational pole they're just getting. flung around their planet is not in any. sort of stable orbit they can't even. predict where their planet's going to be. in 100 years let alone two years down. the line sometimes they get flung too. close to a sun and their whole planet. goes into drought and it's on fire then. they get flung to too far from the sun. because of all these different. gravitational poles and now their planet. is completely frozen over and every time.
they go through one of these chaotic. eras they have to start from fresh. civilization resets itself all. development all technology everything. resets except there was one recent time. period where the Santi were able to. technologically advance to the point. where now all of them most of them have. left the planet they're like Nomads. space nomads they live in their Vans. they live in their space orbital UFOs.
and they're roaming around looking for a. new planet to take over it will take the. Santi 400 years to arrive on Earth but. when they do they will take over at Yuzu. and the newly formed subsidiary company. three body problem Universe there was. actually a lot of cleanup mess to be. done when they started production for. the PowerPoint movie three body problem. they were doing press releases everyone. in their mom in China knew about this. movie they were even announcing when. they wrapped filming all three body. problem fans are waiting for some sort.
of answer like why would you not release. when you've already finished filming. like what's going on and so when they. took too long people neisens kept saying. like don't touch what you can't handle I. mean just stick to shitty games it's too. big you bid off more than you can chew. the whole sci-fi Community was just. betting on their failure at this point. there's a lot of negative publicity. pressure and it's not just the three. body problem that's counting on this. going well like like I said Lynn has a. whole vision of overtaking the. entertainment industry globally so the.
first thing he does cannot be a massive. flop he decides to fully scrap the $55. million project and start fresh he said. to the public there were various. subjective factors that led to the. failure of the three body problem in the. past today I have to face those problems. alone and bear the responsibility we. have to start from scratch there is a. blank sheet of paper and no baggage now. the new plan now is start the universe. with three movies two Chinese drama. series one English drama series three. seasons of animated versions of the.
three body problem audiobooks podcast. the films alone Yuzu is estimating. spending close to $190 million to. produce six films then eventually they. can head into VR video games art music. publishing even offline experiences like. exhibits art installation theme parks. three body problem themed Escape rooms. the objective here being cover every. single demographic the three body. problem has a lot of fans now but create. a cult like following that's the plan in.
order to execute they're going to need a. full team but also some strong leaders. Lynn the CEO of Yuzu will be heavily. involved Shu the lawyer turned president. of the three body problem universe will. also be heavily involved and then brings. in the third guy Zhao a young. experienced executive who will serve as. the vice president of the three body. problem. universe but like I said the problem is. three bodies. are. chaotic and now Yuzu has a three-body.
problem September 2020 a lot is. happening in the three body problem. Universe the IP is finally going. somewhere okay it's been what 2 years. since they purchased the IP and now it's. doing something there's at least three. main big big projects in the works a. liveaction drama series 30 episodes shot. in China by a Chinese company 10 cent. it's like the meta or Facebook of China. if if you will they're going to release. it mainly to the Chinese speaking. audience because it's fully done in.
Chinese then another Chinese production. an animated version of the series for. Billy Billy which is like the YouTube of. China lastly probably the most exciting. news for Yuzu and CEO Lynn three body. problem was going to be made into an. English sci-fi drama after months. potentially even close to a year of. non-stop negotiations meetings phone. calls weird meetings with Amazon. executives attorneys Netflix beat Disney. and Amazon and secured the rights for.
the three body problem not a. co-production they secured the rights I. mean okay A bit more about this Netflix. deal because when it was signed it was a. pretty big conversation amongst three. body problem fans and China since it's a. Chinese series It is believed that. Netflix paid Yuzu around $16 million. just for the rights for the English. adaptation of the series and they're. going to spend another $20 million per. episode with a Eight Episodes in total. to create season 1 that is $160 million.
for season 1 that's just the production. cost to give you some context Netflix. spent about $2.5 million per episode to. produce squid games one of its most. profitable shows The Witcher and the. crown were allegedly reportedly said to. have a budget around 10 million an. episode three body problem is going to. be double that it's a little bit more. than one piece which had the budget of. $18 million per episode wow and one of. the only shows that top that budget is.
Netflix most expensive show to date. stranger things which had a budget of. around 30 million per episode wow. showrunners that did the whole Game of. Thrones series for HBO industry Legends. at this point David Benny off and DB. Weiss they're going to be the. showrunners for the three body problem. Universe in English side note most of. the Game of Thrones had a budget of 10. million per episode it wasn't until the. final I want to say one or two seasons. it was 15 million per episode so this is.
this is a lot more than that every. single episode of three body problem is. going to be more expensive than Game of. Thrones which most of that cost I'm. assuming was allocated for special. effects later on when the show was. released people who worked in special. effects they said no don't get me wrong. three body problem is a great show. really cool watching it though because I. work in the industry is like watching. people or someone pile up a million. dollars in cash and then light it on. fire you're just burning through money.
for a few minutes of cool effects every. few minutes it feels like okay that's. $300,000 okay there goes a million. dollars for a two-minute clip okay. that's another half a million just. burning money so think about that next. time you watch a Sci-Fi show David. bennof and DB Weiss The Game of Thrones. showrunners that are now handling the. whole project interestingly enough. they've actually worked with Yuzu gaming. in the past Yuzu was licensed to create. a game based off the HB series and they. made Game of Thrones winter is coming. the video game so Yuzu worked with them.
I don't know how directly they worked. with you know Benny off and Weiss but. they did work together to a degree now. there are some layers of public. reactions about Netflix acquiring the. English rights September 2020 there were. so many conversations so first of all in. the past few years this feels like one. of the biggest projects most expensive. projects to bring a Chinese story to. Western viewers a lot of Chinese fans. were super excited and super nervous. because there's so much Nuance in the. Chinese culture and history and how it's.
going to be depicted nobody knows. Netflix does end up changing a lot of. the characters they describe it as. globalizing the story their argument. being that it's not necessarily just an. in China Story I mean the aliens are. invading Earth every country is involved. apparently the author agreed to it and. they wanted it to feel more inclusive to. the west but still a lot of Chinese. netizens were set because only a third. of the cast of one of the most. significant Chinese Sci-Fi series were.
of Asian descent a third there were also. some mixed feelings about having the. Game of Thrones showrunners be in charge. of three body problem I mean most of the. reactions I would say were positive. because they're influential iconic yes. great but other netizens were hesitant. considering the last season of Game of. Thrones is known to be one of the most. disappointing seasons in TV history but. it does seem like they're taking it. seriously The Game of Thrones showrunner. said. it's one of the first things we'd come. across since Game of Thrones where we. were actually scared like we knew that.
this was going to be hard and that's why. we knew we had to do it wow another. interesting aspect to the Netflix. production is there is a lot of elements. of not just Chinese history in this book. but also so much physics I mean it's. science fiction so of course it's not. real and it's fiction but this series is. so heavy on the science part it's not. even the fun stuff it's straight up. physics apparently Netflix offered a. physics 101 class for almost everybody. that was working on the show they had an.
astrophysicist as a consultant for the. show he was just on speed dial for any. and all questions just the sheer amount. of science that is pertinent to this. plot of this series is crazy and it's. going to make the show very very. difficult to create on a visual scale I. mean think about it it's one thing to. read about how something starts as 10. Dimensions imagine 10 dimensions in your. head and then it folds collapses into 9. 8 7 six you get it until. two how do you how do you show that. visually from a visual standpoint like.
what does it look like inside of a. particle accelerator when atoms are. colliding David benof said for me there. were so many scenes in the book that I. read and I thought I really want to see. this throughout the whole trilogy there. were so many scenes that are so. thrilling to read but also as a TV. writer and producer it's deeply. intimidating because you're thinking how. are we going to show multiple dimensions. on screen how is that going to work I. literally can't visualize some of the. things that are described in this book. but overall the news that Netflix was.
going to adopt an English version of the. three body problem I would say was good. most people in China were very happy. everybody seemed really really ecstatic. especially Lynn this has been his. project for the past I don't know 5. years of his life and it's going. somewhere 3 months later after the news. of Netflix was released Lynn ends up in. the hospital December 16th 2020. Lynn's alarm goes off he shuts it off. he's laying in bed staring at the. ceiling which already seems kind of odd.
because Lynn is typically the type to. jump out of bed get the day started but. his whole body feels like it's made out. of the bruised parts of an apple that's. what his whole body feels like soft. painful sore everywhere fragile his. entire body is in pain he takes a deep. breath he swings his legs over to the. side of the bed and the whole room is. spinning he's so dizzy his face is. completely puffed up swollen and it's. strange I mean maybe it's the stress. he's been working like crazy recently to.
get this Netflix deal done and all the. press releases all the interviews but. when Lynn tries to get up it feels like. there's an earthquake his whole body is. vibrating just trembling and the whole. room is stable he's trying to walk to. the restroom but his body is jerking. forward his body is very erratic his. hands can't seem to stay still he can't. seem to control any of his muscles he. quickly grabs his things and he starts. walking he walks out of the residence. onto the street and perhaps he thought. that fresh air would do him some good he.
starts walking towards the Private. Hospital it takes him about an hour to. walk the very short distance to the. hospital and once he's in through that. door his state has already rapidly. deteriorated he can barely breathe he's. throwing up he's having explosive. diarrhea doctors are rushing him to the. ICU and eventually he goes into full. cardiac arrest his whole body is. shutting down on him in the three body. problem book there's a fascinating. concept called chain of.
Suspicion let's say there are two. civilizations Two Worlds and the only. two worlds with life on it in the entire. universe let's just say that. Civilization one let's call it Earth. it's us and then there's civilization 2. the two planets are 400 light years. apart so for us to get to civilization 2. it's going to take 400 years and vice. versa and Earth just civilization 2. exist we just discovered there's another. life out there civilization 2 as of.
right now has no idea that Earth exists. they don't know that there's life. outside of their Planet the problem here. is Earth knows about two but other than. the fact that we know that they exist we. don't know anything else we don't know. if they're good or bad what kind of. civilization they are do they just like. to destroy things I mean I guess we. could try and talk to them to figure out. out but then we would be exposing. ourselves and our location to. civilization too and who's to say that.
they'll even tell us the truth and who's. to say that they won't kill us on impact. like immediately after finding out we. exist so Earth must at least to a degree. wonder if maybe we haven't found any. other. civilizations what if it's because. civilization 2 has been out here. annihilating all sense of. life and what if if they find out about. Earth they're going to annihilate us too. so now there's a few ways that this. could play out the first way would be. guarantee Earth's survival and the.
survival of all humans on Earth and. Destroy civilization too before they. know Earth exist it's only a matter of. time before they find out about Earth. then what we just bet and hope that. they're not going to kill Earth for the. same reason Earth wants to kill. civilization 2 for peace of mind for. guaranteeing survival but let's say. humans can't do that we want to know. more about civilization too you know. then we'll figure out what to do next so. we reach out out now civilization 2. knows about. Earth perhaps they kill Earth instantly.
or perhaps they interact with Earth now. the problem is there are so many things. that make this very complicated because. there's so much more now that we have to. factor in like a technological explosion. so the way that Netflix describes it is. it took humans 990,000 years to get from. Hunter gather to Farmer and then it took. humans another 10,000 years to become. industrialist then two 200 years for. Atomic power computers the information. age another 50 years meaning on the.
scale of the universe the amount of time. to get from Hunter gather to where we. are now it feels slow it feels very. gradual but on the scale of the universe. it's like a burst a technological. explosion and who's to say Earth does it. the fastest so with that in mind if. Earth reaches out to civilization 2 they. discover one of two things maybe they. discover that Civilization 2 is weaker. than Earth and they seem. nice but what does that even mean you. can't just take that for face value when.
you have the whole weight of humanity. Survival on your shoulders that means. right now civilization 2 is weaker than. Earth but after Earth reaches out that. might be the perfect Catalyst for them. to have a technological explosion. because according to the book quote. Staying Alive is not enough to guarantee. survival development is the best way to. ensure Survival on Earth it took 300. years but there's no reason why Humanity. should be the fastest of all Cosmic.
civilizations maybe there are others. whose technological explosions are even. more sudden I'm weaker than you but once. I've received your message and know of. your existence the chain of Suspicion is. established between us if at any time I. experience a technological explosion. that suddenly puts me far ahead of you. then I'm stronger than you and on the. scale of the universe several hundred. years is the snap of a finger and if it. might be that my knowledge of your. existence and the information I received. from our communication was the perfect.
spark to set off my technological. explosion that means even though I'm. still just a newborn or a growing. civilization I'm still a big danger to. you so it's saying that anybody even if. they're weaker they can surpass you yes. and become a threat it's the incentive. of the stronger to kill the weaker at. this point because at any point they can. become stronger to you and who's to say. that they operate on the same ethics and. morals as you do got it so even if.
someone's like little yeah okay and very. soon they could be more powerful more. advanced than you and sure they seem. nice but it's the chain of Suspicion. it's basically Game Theory you're. predicting outcomes based on multiple. participants civilization 2 tells Earth. we're good people we're weaker than you. and we're very good people we're nice if. Earth believes them and decides not to. kill them civil ization 2 lives but now. Earth is left wondering what if. civilization 2 lied or what if they get.
more evil as they grow more. technologically powerful then we need to. annihilate them while we still can or. what if they're good but they later turn. evil then we need to annihilate or what. if they're good but they think we're bad. they don't think that we're also good so. being good they need to technologically. explode and then they're going to kill. us because they think we're bad but. civilization 2 is also having the same. thought thoughts maybe Earth is nice but. they don't trust that we're good so. they're going to kill us which means we. need to kill them before they kill us do.
you see the chain of Suspicion it's very. complicated it goes on and on and. ultimately the chain of Suspicion. there's only one correct answer if. survival is the only thing that matters. you kill onsite because according to the. book there is no Universal moral code. that living beings abide by in the. Galaxy it reads on Earth humankind can. step onto another continent and without. a thought destroy the Kindred. civilizations found there through. Warfare and disease but when they gaze.
up at the stars they turn sentimental. and believe that if extraterrestrial. intelligences exist they must be. civilizations Bound by some Universal. Noble moral. constraints insinuating if humans can't. even be good why would they expect any. other life in this universe to be good. and treat us with kindness that is the. chain of Suspicion. and in the Yuzu office there is a chain. of Suspicion taking.
place I love every season but summer. nights just hit different like I don't. know about the day but the nighttime is. a little bit nicer there's something. about the warmth that makes everything. feel so much better the only bad part. about late nights in the summer is late. mornings the next day I always wake up. feeling so dehydrated like a dried up. prune and that is why liquid IV is a. staple in my Summer Morning Routine. liquid IV is the number one powdered.

Lynn had a heart attack from overworking. stress bad lifestyle habits but very. quickly they think wait maybe it's not. maybe something bad happened now I'm not. too sure how they came to this. conclusion whether it was from recent. experience symptoms a gut feeling or the.
fact that the patient is a billionaire I. have no clue but they believe that Lynn. was poisoned by puffer fish to test this. Theory the doctors run a few labs and. Lynn was found to have high high levels. of tetrodotoxin he has way more than the. lethal amounts in his body now. tetrodotoxin is often called Nature's. Most Powerful neurotoxin there's not. many effective antidotes and it's found. naturally in puffer fish that's why they. can be very poisonous and once there's a. lethal amount inside the body it results.
in typically paralysis of muscles if. it's serious it leads straight all the. way to respiratory death that is what. the doctors believe Lynn was poisoned. with puffer fish poison he has had no. contact with puffer fish recently and. because Lynn spends most of his time at. work that leads doctors to believe that. he was poisoned at work authorities come. and they just tear Yuzu headquarters. inside out they've taken out anything. that could have been tampered with water. cups teacups supplements anything Lynn. used daily and came in contact with.
they're checking the water fountains on. each floor everything that has the. potential to be evidence everything is. being booked and checked and checked. over and over including employee hair. samples blood samples they were also. taken in for toxicology reports and in. total four people around Lynn were found. to be poisoned but interestingly enough. only two of them worked in the office. they were found to have heavy amounts of. mercury in their system Lynn's personal. assistant and an executive from the.
three body problem Universe now out of. the two people that were poisoned inside. the offices the police they start. mapping out who has access to all these. people and who would have the. opportunity to poison them and out of. everybody the chain of Suspicion comes. down to one. person Lynn's whole motto throughout the. whole three body problem acquisition has. been the three FS film free fans films. create movies everybody's going to love.
free let fans use the IP to a degree so. instead of going after a random Super. Fan who spent weeks creating an animated. short story using the characters and the. plot and the likeness of the brand or a. super fan that develops a game off the. three body problem and everybody loves. it instead of suing them for copy right. Lynn's Vision was let them create and. even encourage them he said whoever can. make a good game should have the right. to use the IP for free in the grand. layout of Ip it is the people who are. competent and talented that keep it.
alive not the people who have money but. that's not to say anything I mean the. ultimate end game for him is still money. so once he does that he's going to see. an explosion in fans from all over the. world that he can acquire and sell. merchandise to sell a theme part ticket. to make more movie admission tickets for. you repeat the cycle over and over again. release movies merchandising experiences. they going to spend money on it it's the. 3F model Lynn said the fans especially.
for something like the three body. problem they need to be respected he. said every day before you go to bed you. talk to your users otherwise you don't. know what's going to happen when you. wake up tomorrow that's the spirit of. the internet and the internet they want. things fast okay Lynn is really. aggressive with the development of the. three body problem which from a business. standpoint it does make sense reportedly. he's already sunk $71 million into the. the first failed film plus the rights to. the IP that's just surface level there. were attorneys Personnel staff that were. all involved in this massive deal their.
paychecks have to come from somewhere. they're being paid to work on this right. now there's a new subsidiary of Yuzu. that was formed for the three body. problem Universe being run by shoe and. they've got a whole office a whole team. of employees that are trying to get this. thing off the ground every day every. single employee on payroll keeping the. lights on every single coffee po that. they drink is technically sinking money. money which I'm not saying he doesn't. have the money to spare but from an. accounting business standpoint there is. a lot of pressure for him to make this.
work they need to start making money. from this IP ASAP or else Yuzu Shares. are going to drop and nobody's going to. have a good time and a lot of people are. going to be out of jobs but for a full. year nothing happens it's radio silence. inside the three body problem building. when was this you're saying 2019 a year. after they acquire the rights nothing is. happening nobody knows what the hell. they're doing and what the hell is going. on what do you mean you don't know. what's going on I don't know I don't. even know who I'm supposed to be.
reporting to the whole thing is chaos. everything is stalled because the head. of the company is a lawyer who has zero. experience in the entertainment industry. he has no idea what he's doing nobody. wants to listen to Shu because all of. his contributions as of right now are. misinformed or dumb because he's just a. lawyer what does he know about this. business everybody's kind of doing their. own thing there's no head of any project. no one is leading the March one employee. said at one point sh spent more than 2. hours asking random employees in the. breakroom about their advice on making.
it work in the entertainment. industry aren't you supposed to know. that one former employee said we would. have these meetings and everybody was. super passive everybody was just a. bystander nobody even knew who was in. charge so the result just was not good. when Lynn realizes that everything at. the three body problem universe is. stalled he marches into the office and. he's got a meeting with shu they're. going to continue to have daily meetings. moving forward from this point Lynn is. desperate he's practically begging.
screaming at Shoe we got to turn this IP. into money soon we got to monetize now. or else the ship is going to sink shoe. is calm he always is that's his. trademark he's in his three-piece suit. polished leather shoes and he just looks. at Lynn and He. suggests well the solution is we just. release the first PowerPoint movie that. you already made so that we can make. some money. back the freaking PowerPoint movie Lynn. blows up I mean that's crazy to even.
suggest I mean it's going to ruin the. name of the brand the everything that. it's the whole movie is people. are going to scream at us all day that. it's and we will never get out of. this mess from that point forward it is. said that the two would argue every. single day in the office former. employees said you could hear them. arguing non-stop sometimes when Lynn the. billionaire would get extra passionate. he would pick up cups with water tea. whatever still in them and throw them. Chuck them at Shoe if it was.
particularly emotional of a fight he. would pick up a chair and Chuck it at. the wall everybody tried to act like. they didn't see what was going on but. they were really loud sometimes they. would hear billionaire Lynn screaming at. you you are a stray dog that I brought. in from the street I fed you I took care. of you but you can't even do anything. you can't even do the. basic oh it was really bad an anonymous. employee said that's just how Lynn is. though you could be at any level of the.
company and Lynn would scold you in. front of everyone and even break things. if he was really frustrated his. management style is quite rough every. day it felt like the tension between. Lynn and shu is building up to some big. catastrophic event I mean it was just so. blatantly tense at a strategy meeting. once Lynn asked an open question to the. employees about their experience at the. company and Sh without itation spoke up. I feel wronged in the workplace I feel a. deep sense of disparity working here. people knew that things were just going.
to get worse from here there were even. rumors floating around in the office. that the two Lynn and Shu were destined. not to be able to work together so first. of all the Chinese character for Lynn is. actually two symbols placed together and. they spell out wood wood wood but it's. pronounced Lynn now Shu ya the spelling. of the character Yao the way he spells. it spells out Earth Earth Earth three. Earth and if you look at the Five. Element charts in China which include. water wood fire earth and metal with the.
belief that depending on where you were. born and the elements they're going to. greatly impact you one way or the other. wood and ground are on the opposite. sides of each other which is quite a. complicated way of saying they're. destined to not be compatible but even. if you don't believe in the elements in. the charts employees said it was pretty. obvious like their managing Styles their. personalities it wasn't going to work. Lynn is not a traditional CEO o he's. young he likes to run things in a very. extreme All or Nothing kind of way Shu.
on the other hand he's very elitist very. academic he wears suits and ties for. every meeting he expects everyone to. have the same level of corporate. professionalism that he has they said. Shu could not handle the quote barbaric. culture of Yuzu they said shu is thin. skinned his self-esteem is definitely. going to get hurt and out of the two by. first glance a lot of the actually likes. Shu more they said he's softspoken he is. quite nice to a subordinate so the. people that work under him you know he's.
nice to them if you do something wrong. to Lynn he's going to throw a teacup at. you if you do something wrong to Shu. he's going to in a very Corporate Way. tactfully Express his disagreement with. your actions you open up the dictionary. and you look up corporate executive it's. going to be a picture of Shu he has the. power of three right now he's got high. education High income High position he. does have a pretty lead a stare to him. one of his employees said he's Stern and. he sets boundaries and he has to but. other than that he's an easy person to.
get along with however at the same time. it is not easy to break the barriers. into his close circle of friends AKA. he's as professional as it gets he's. that employee you will never know what's. going on in their personal life a. colleague who worked closely with both. of them said if I had to compare the two. I would say that Lynn is very internally. driven person he will try to solve. problem Problems by improving himself. and it's all about what's going on. inside Shu on the other hand is a very. externally driven person the environment.
his peers the surrounding heas in have a. great influence on him Lynn is kind of. like a loud car making noise down the. street dangerous loud but you see it. coming and you hear it from a mile away. Shu he's silent but he's powerful he's. like a volcano you just never know when. he's going to explode he feels. unpredictable really The Quiet One yeah. now there were a few odd instances with.
Shu one colleague remembers they were in. the break room once together having a. super casual conversation and Shu just. offhandedly said that he really really. likes reading novels about poison. Masters and dark magic which doctors he. called them the employee thought it was. interesting since they know that. President shu is a lawyer and he seemed. very by the books like a very straight. edge rigid kind of guy so it was. surprising in that sense but maybe it's. not it's just a little unexpected but.
more alarming was the incident with the. secretary everyone in that office that. day likely remembers it was just such a. strange moment Shu was going out of town. for a business meeting his secretary is. staying in the office she gets off the. phone with him and runs to the bathroom. crying apparently Shu had gotten to the. airport he's about to board the flight. but the flight attendant is like oh. sorry sir you can't can't board what do. you mean I can't board yes I can I'm. going to board the freaking plane no sir. you cannot board because this plane is. not even headed where you would like to.
go you at the wrong gate Shu himself had. walked to the wrong boarding gate inside. of the airport he missed his flight by. going to the wrong gate called his. secretary and screamed at her for 45. minutes straight it is said the words he. used were so vile that it is out of a. normal person's imagination the dirtiest. most filthy words were sprayed all over. the sky is how it's described. wow after he hung up his secretary broke. down in the office completely and. submitted her resignation letter which.
he rejected it because he profusely. apologized he told her I am just under a. lot of pressure at work as you can tell. clearly so the emotions have gotten the. better of me but it's never going to. happen again I would love if you could. forgive me and come back to work I will. make sure that this never ever happens. but you you know the kind of pressure. right that Lynn has been putting us. under Right Lynn feels like every single. day that Shu was President they are. throwing money into a Fireplace and. Lighting it on fire on top of that to. add fuel to the fire in 2019 a movie.
called wandering Earth is released that. was like it was number one it broke all. the records so the three body problem is. one series of the author's book. collection and that is the IP that Lynn. owns now but the movie wandering Earth. is the author's newer series that was. adapted into a movie written by the same. author of The Three body problem and I. mean this is probably the biggest. Chinese sci-fi movie at the time it. grossed $673 million in Chinese Theaters.
at the time that one movie Broke almost. every single film record in China and it. kickstarted a whole SFI Trend before. this movie sci-fi was big in China but. it was not mainstream everyone in their. mom wanted to see wandering Earth they. wanted to see aliens at this point it. was by all accounts a massive success. and every day Lynn comes into the office. he opens up the news reports and he is. tomato red three body problem universe. is technically bigger of a series than.
wandering Earth they have a bigger fan. base and they're sitting on the rights. of the biggest series ever and they're. sitting on a golden egg and right now is. when everybody wants to see it they. don't want to see it 5 years from now. when the Sci-Fi trend is over they want. it right now even if they start filming. now it's going to take years to hit. theaters what if the Sci-Fi trend is. over huh Lynn would take it all out by. screaming at shu you are a useless. General and you're exhausting our whole. Army and. resources now there is a Chinese saying.
one mountain cannot fit two tigers one. Throne cannot fit two kings Lynn brings. in another person a third body everyone. please meet the newest vice president of. three body problem Zhao Lynn brings in a. younger more experienced vice president. into the company and it is very very. clear what Lynn is planning Zhao is. shoes replacement and he's breathing. down sho's neck every single day asking. him why they have nothing to show for. the three body problem IP Lynn doesn't.
even hide the fact that he favors Zhao. Zhao is basically acting as the. president of the three body problem and. just starts making executive decisions. ignoring and disrespecting Shu. completely Shu has no real power at this. point he just has a title he doesn't. even have his salary anymore most of. shu's $3 million salary comes in the. form of a bonus at the end of the year. but in 2020 Lynn is telling Shu don't. even expect a bonus because what have. you done to Warrant a.
bonus without a bonus shu's salary is. about $500,000 a year which to him is. nothing it is not nearly enough to put. up with the emotional trauma every. single day of having cups thrown at you. chairs thrown at you he feels like he's. being used as a punching bag and as. shu's life and career are falling apart. and it feels like everybody in the. office is laugh laugh in at him when he. walks in Zhao the VP is living the dream. that Shu feels like he was promised Yuzu.
games and Netflix signed their deal she. was not even part of the conversation. he's not even mentioned once in a single. article or in any of the press. conferences his name is nowhere on that. project not even in passing even though. he's technically the president of the. three body problem Universe it is. announced that Lynn and Zhao are going. to be executive producers on the show. alongside some of the the most iconic. showrunners in TV history Game of. Thrones showrunners David Benny off and. DB Weiss Brad Pitt and Rosman Pike or.
also regardless of how you feel about. them personally but like in terms of. names in the show business Brad Pit. holds a strong name and we love Brad Pit. is part of three body problem executive. produced oh Brad Pit and Rond Pike who. plays Gone Girl and I think that's how. you'll know her they're also involved in. this big project even though they are. not casted so on the production side I. mean this is going to be a big big big. big deal but shu is going to get nothing. Shu doesn't even have any shares in this.
business so as the universe grows he's. really getting nothing but he's not. fired he's still in the company yeah but. it's only a matter of time yeah yeah. yeah December 17th shu is arrested at a. law conference in Beijing it said that. he was desperately trying to get a. meeting with the vice president of the. three body problem Universe Zhao his own. replacement presum. to try and poison him that's what the. police think so they arrest him wait 17. is after the hospital L yes Lynn is in.
the hospital he is 17th yeah no he was. in the hospital 16th the day after oh. the he's still. alive right so Lynn in the hospital. really sick and the next day the police. arrested J 16th Lynn is in the hospital. really sick they suspect poisoning they. start searching the offices two other. employees are discovered to have been. poisoned the next day December 17th they. arrest.
shoe cuz they're like there's poison in. the office and someone's poisoning them. and we think it's shoe oh because they. fight all the time see yes so they. arrest him now Shu was working as the. three body problem president but he was. also a Japanese. CEO a Japanese CEO he's Japanese well. he's Chinese but he owns a company in. Japan a chemical Import and Export. company well not really but he did. recently register a company in Japan. along with 160 new phone numbers he.
started ordering poison off the dark web. and sending them to Japan to his holding. company then slowly he would have. someone import all the poisons from. Japan to China they probably didn't even. know it was poison what he would have. them shipped in different packaging at. different times to different locations. until they all made it to his tiny. little Warehouse in a quiet distant. suburb of Shanghai where the rent is. somewhat affordable the houses are.
spread far enough that you can actually. get some privacy you can walk around in. your underwear in the back shed and. probably hopefully nobody will notice. Shu leased a house there in the suburbs. so that he could create his own Breaking. Bad Lab that's his favorite show Shu. purchased over a 100 poisons on the dark. web and he was not even there just to. see which one he liked he was mixing. combining creating new poisons he kept. detailed logs of how much each poison.
reacted to others being combined with. other toxins the size of the poison. needed the amount the powder or liquid. like symptoms of each poison and how. deadly it is and how deadly it is. combined with other. poisons it's a lot what Shu was out to. create his own little poison blend if. you will his own concoction mixture and. his test subjects were stray animals he. would catch stray cats dogs rats off the. street test the poison on them first and. it said that he killed hundreds of.
animals during his testing phase who. this is happening during the whole like. like off work like he's going home and. mixing poisons yeah like beginning of. 2020 wow he's planning this for months. wow eventually he settles on a few. toxins but his main ones would be puffer. fish poison Mercury and the plan was Shu. would poison Lynn and Zao the VP of the.
three body problem IP with Mercury. through their coffee whiskey water and. tea now the plan was small quantities. frequently over a long period of time to. make it very hard to trace back to him. the vice president of the three body. problem Universe Zhao he had 10 times. the safe levels of mercury in his body. he had to be hospitalized he had to be. treated with with dialysis to clean the. toxins from his blood which is not a fun. process but it worked he was discharged.
but he did bring a cup of tea with him. home from work his wife had taken a sip. and she also had alarming high levels of. mercury in her system she survived but. she was she had just given birth and was. breastfeeding she had to stop. breastfeeding because of the mercury. levels whoa now the Curious part is. Lynn's personal assistant was also. poisoned it like Lynn makes sense he's. targeted by shoe the vice president. makes sense he's targeted by shoe his. wife makes sense because she took a sip.
of his coffee and he's targeted by shoe. you get it right but what about the. assistant did she wrong shoe not exactly. earlier in. December cuz again he was hospitalized. 16th earli in December Shu had walked. into Lynn's personal assistant room with. a little bottle in his hands he places. it on the desk she looks at him confused. probiotics they're from overseas they're. probably the best I've ever had highest. quality great for digestion and stress. tell Lynn that they're from me the.
assistant takes the bottle in her hands. and before Shu walks off he tells her. actually can you make sure that he takes. it every day you know how he's so. forgetful Shu decides that he wanted to. kill them now the Mercury it was just. taking so long they're too young they're. too healthy he needs to give their. bodies a big push so he puts puffer fish. poison with a blend of other poison into. the probiotic capsule now the original. plan was to try and kill Lynn and the. vice president at the same time with.
probiotics but at this point Shu and the. Vice President are fighting so much even. more than he's fighting with Lynn that. if he were to give him a bottle of. probiotics right now or even to his. assistant they'd be in the. trash so only Lynn would receive the. probiotics and there were a total of 30. pills inside and only one or two of the. capsules were poisoned. what so it's like he's going to take it. every day but you don't know when it's. going to hit it's like playing Russian.
rulette with his. life but that still doesn't explain how. Mercury got into the personal assistant. system because she didn't have puffer. fish poisoning she had Mercury she. didn't take any of the probiotics but. remember the tea that was tainted with. Mercury while Lynn only drinks the. finest teas and sometimes he wouldn't. finish the whole teapot. he would have this little teapot with. tea left over that he didn't pour into. his tea glass and the assistant instead. of washing it out she would pour it into.
a thermos and take it home to drink. because it's like $5,000 per pound of. tea leaves this when else is she going. to get money like that to drink this. kind of tea is she okay is she alive. yeah she's fine she's alive now but I. mean fine as in she probably went. through a lot but she's alive the tea. was poisoned with Mercury now the police. now know who tried to kill Lynn and how. they did it but they have one last thing. what are the other toxins inside the. capsule there's a rule of thumb if a.
snake bites you you kill the snake and. bring it to the doctor this is not some. sort of like eye for an eye punishment. or anything like that but chances are. back then if the doctors know exactly. what snake and which Venom you have in. your system the chances of saving your. life are exponentially higher I think. it's just a saying I think if anything. most snakes are not venomous and if they. are I think a picture would suffice but. you get it it's just if you know what. poison it is it's so much easier to Save. a Life Now Shu has been arrested Lynn is.
in the hospital he's practically comos. at this point his organs his brain. they're shutting down and every second. counts the doctors have tried everything. they've already tried performing every. single life-saving measure that they. could think of Lynn underwent four. liters of blood transfusions which is a. massive transfusion typically this is. only done in severe blood loss cases to. give you some more context the total. blood volume in an average adult is.
about 5 lers they've pretty much swapped. out all of his. blood they want to get rid of as much. toxins in his body as possible and for a. second from December 16th since the. blood transfusion they thought it was. kind of working his state was becoming. more stable but out of nowhere it just. starts deteriorating again just downhill. he becomes an a comos State doctors. believe that Lynn was poisoned with a. variety of toxins and they're still. attacking his body they're attacking him.
while he's in a weakened state after the. blood transfusions so all they need is. to know which toxins are inside of linnn. so that they can try their best to. either get it out or find an antidote. proceed with the smartest course of. action Shu refused to tell the doctors. what he poisoned Lyn with he will die if. Shu does not tell the doctors she. remained. silent till the very end December 25th. 2020 39-year-old Lyn Chi was pronounced.
dead when his body was autopsi they. found at least five different toxins in. his body he had high high levels of. mercury and about 10 times the lethal. amount of mercury that was severely just. damaging his internal organs and then. five other smaller toxins and it said. that they were eating away at his organs. like termites eat dry rotting wood. I will say Lynn is not the perfect. victim here he's a billionaire which. already raises ethical concerns on top.
of that he undoubtedly created some. pretty hostile work environments it's. likely that he at least screwed over one. person during his career if not many. people he worked his employees to the. Bone at one point he was very very. temperamental he could turn on someone. in the fraction of a second and you. wouldn't even see it coming and it seems. like people either really really loved. him or they had some really harsh things. to say about him while he was alive that. is his friends said that he was. definitely a more misunderstood.
character they said that he was very. tough and passionate to the point of. being aggressive the words his friends. used to describe him were. enthusiastic but also very righteous in. what he believed in he not saying what. he believed in was always the right. thing just if he had an opinion about. something he was very passionate about. it he wasn't evil is what the friends. say or trying to hurt people he was just. someone that didn't treat anything. casually he didn't treat anything. indifferently like he was emotionally.
invested in every little thing and that. emotional investment would translate. into this very aggressively passionate. conversation even when he played games. he was really aggressive he liked games. that were um zero downtime so games. where you're just shooting the gun. non-stop there's no moment of rest. there's no walking around there's no. building something like you're fighting. someone non-stop when Lynn's teammates. would drop the ball and the whole team. would lose he wouldn't even scream he. would just get very serious and say.
again let's go again. again he had this very intense Big. Brother Vibe about him he would yell at. you during lunch about how your business. idea was stupid and it's never going to. work and you're dumb for thinking that. it's going to work and you need to stop. being so stubborn about the stupidest. things but then on your way out he would. Pat you on your back and hand you a. bottle of whiskey you drank two glasses. during lunch it seems like you enjoyed. it here take a b bottle with you you go. home you look it up it's a 50-year-old. bottle of yamazaki whiskey that costs. about. $100,000 what he would stay updated on.
all the projects Nanjing alumni would. have students who graduated from the. same University as him and he would. invest one2 million per project that he. was intrigued by the head of PR said. when my daughter applied to an American. college the busy Founder The Busy CEO. himself wrote a letter of recommendation. for her one time a random employee went. to a meeting with Lynn where he probably. yelled at everyone during the entirety. of the meeting during a quick break in. between meetings Lynn turned to him did. you eat lunch yet uh no sir I haven't.
had the time yet Lynn broke off half the. hamburger in his hand and handed it to. the employee and they shared a little. meal together and they said that the man. was incredibly smart a friend of his. said they had gone on a business trip. together once and Lynn turned to him. what books have you been into recently. the friend recommended one and during. the 2 hours on the plane ride Lynn. finished the whole book that took the. friend much much longer than that and he. was able to really have these. thought-provoking conversations about. the book he really absorbed it he did.
not just skim it he was able to grasp. all the concepts and ideas but again. he's a very intense guy his idea of. working through an idea was to argue. about it to him brainstorming was. screaming at someone and having a fight. about it to the employees he was. straight up bullying them at times and. once he was set on an idea he would. bulldoze through everyone and anything. to make it happen. but regardless he was a father to three. children and he should have been here to. see them grow up and they're all minors.
one USU staff member wrote on social. media you saw through what was imperfect. but still believed in Beauty encountered. unkindness but still believed in. kindness goodbye youth we will be. together and continue to be kind believe. in goodness and continue to fight. against all that is. unkind one of the employees posted from. Lynn's account to all of his 2,000. employees at Yuzu and I'm sure it was a. approved by his family but it's a quotee. from Steve Jobs that apparently Lynn. really liked which reads I would trade. all my technology for an afternoon with.
Socrates goodbye kids before Lynn's. death a month before he was asked in an. interview about the three body problem. about life and death and it was a. pensive conversation about how he views. his legacy and he said what I think. about more is how to say goodbye to the. world in 10 20 30 years or even when I'm. 90 years old. Legend has it that your mind will be. very clear when you're about to die and. you will have this extreme Moment of. clarity you know and at that moment it's.
how do you say goodbye I'm very afraid. that I'm going to be laying there. thinking before I die how did I destroy. the three body. problem wow and this is a month. before yes Lynn would never make it to. 90 or even to the next year he would be. killed the next month because Lynn is in. a coma before his death he would also. never get to have that moment of supreme. Clarity that he had been hoping for he.
had been robbed of it the three body. Problem by 10cent in China was released. in 20123 it was a massive hit with a. super high ranking of 8.7 out of 10 the. animated version that was released on. streaming platform Billy Billy in China. was approaching the 100 million views. Mark Netflix's three body problem was. released a few months ago go March. 2024 and Lynn would never get the chance. to see any of those projects come to. life some neens stated think what you.
want of Lynn he's a billionaire you know. he seems incredibly temperamental I. guess he's loved by his family and. friends but he's feared by most of his. subordinates and most of the business. world but in the end one thing is pretty. undeniable he did seem to genuinely care. for the quality of the three body. problem Lynn is Ed as an executive. producer on the recent three body. problem released in Netflix postly so. post death now there was nothing in.
shu's plan that indicated that he was. trying to get away with this murder. everyone in the office knew that Shu was. on the out he was hated by both Lin and. Z he had been humiliated his ego was. wounded an employee said it was very. clear that Shu made the whole three body. problem deal his whole personality and. he based his whole self-esteem off of it. they said he would practically puff up. his chest and proudly State other people. have tried to take on this project but. none of them took it Forward after. touching it except me we closed the deal. we legal professionals are here to put.
out fires break up deadlocked. negotiations but we must also have the. courage to be change. makers and now all of that is going to. be gone he feels like it's going to be. taken away from him in return Shu would. give Z and Lynn gifts tea coffee whiskey. a bottle of probiotics. and that's just the surface level if. anyone digs even 2 seconds deeper they. would find 160 phone numbers registered. to his Japanese holding company the.
house he was renting had evidence of. poison that he bought off the dark web. he's objectively an intelligent person. he's likely going to know that he's. going to get caught so what he's going. to burn himself just to burn them the. Dark Forest press the button destroy. everybody like what does that mean most. netizens don't think so they think that. Shu genuinely believed that he was going. to get away with murder shu to give you. some context went to school in France. and the us a lot of neisens think that. that's influenced the way he's handled. his own murder trial cuz he's on trial.
for murdering Lynn According to some. Chinese netizens they felt that he had a. very Western approach to his defense. he's betting on three things don't talk. hire an expensive legal team the top of. the top and get expensive psychiatric. evaluations that will state that you are. not mentally in your right state of mind. it's reported that Shu had a bunch of. books at home about psychiatric. evaluation. and he also allegedly looked online. about how to avoid punishment by. claiming Insanity he had reviewed. previous cases where foreigners mainly.
in Western countries escaped punishment. because of the insanity plea he provided. his own psychiatric evaluations with. doctors of his choosing to the court and. they were all rejected they had State. appointed doctors to evaluate him and. they stated that he's definitely trying. to act crazy so it's very clear that. he's putting on a whole show ultimately. a lot of neens believe that this tactic. of his. ended up backfiring mainly because he. had the chance to save Lynn's life and. tell them which poisons but he stuck. with the don't talk lawyer up and claim.
Insanity it just shows how cold-hearted. he is it doesn't show anything else his. decision not to St ended up being life. or death for Lynn and he died and. ultimately that decision is going to be. life or death for shoe too March 21st. 2024 this year the three body album was. released on Netflix March 22nd 2024 the. day after Shu was sentenced to death by. the Shang High.
courts wow the vice president now chief. executive of the three-body universe. Zhao said on his WeChat justice has been. served and that is the story behind. Netflix's three body. problem wow that is crazy it it yeah I. mean I think it was just so crazy. because I was looking to see if there. were any reactions from even the Netflix. production team of the news that he died.
because it was immediately after they. signed the deal and even the Game of. Thrones showrunners they don't even know. how to react their statement was I mean. you see a lot of things in this business. you just never expect to see that happen. like I think no one knew the appropriate. reaction even because it's so bizarre. yeah but you said um at the beginning it. was um Amazon yes they they did say. something or yeah so an Insider that was.
allegedly at the Amazon meeting said. that years later two years later when. they found out that Lynn was killed by. Shu they said yeah I'm not surprised. like the amount of tension in between. that Yuzu group was just out of this. world like I'm not surprised that. someone killed someone. ah. yeah wow. and I mean what are your thoughts have. you guys watched the three body problem. on Netflix it it's actually not doing.
well compared to the budget that they. spent on it really there's not even. conversation about yet at least if it's. going to be renewed for season 2 H which. is kind of crazy what are your thoughts. on it let me know in the comments and. please stay safe I will see you guys in. the next one.
