Previously, there were rumors in the industry that the price of "Three-Body", the masterpiece of science fiction writer Liu Cixin, was extremely low, and the buyer was either Zhang Fanfan, the director of the "Three-Body" movie, or the tourist network. In response, Liu Cixin said in an interview with the media that he was unwilling to disclose the specific price. Let industry insiders interpret it as confirming rumors.

An analyst who declined to be named told reporters,"In the past few years, the IP market had not become popular, and many award-winning works were ignored, so Liu Cixin's 'sale' at a low price is understandable. The original price cannot be measured by the current value."
