Xu purchased hundreds of toxins and poisoned Lin with small doses every day for over 100 days.The journey of the copyright for the film/TV adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem" was even more winding than mentioned above.

Around 2010, a married couple (the husband was a director and the wife was a screenwriter) spent almost their entire fortune to purchase the film and television adaptation rights from the author for prices between 100,000 to 500,000 RMB. At the time, for obscure Chinese science fiction, this was already a decent price.

For the next two years, they approached many companies but all rejected them. Later as The Three-Body Problem became more famous, people started approaching the couple instead, even offering hundreds of millions to acquire the adaptation rights.

The couple proposed that to obtain the rights, two conditions must be met: 1) They must be allowed to serve as directors and screenwriters for the film. 2) Abundant funding must be provided for them to produce the film.

They undoubtedly have a great passion for films and The Three-Body Problem, as the director even said that he has been self-studying visual effects for five years in order to make a good adaptation.

However, their directing skills are really not worthy of respect, as money was not an issue for companies at that time, but no one dared to hand over such a massive project to a director who had only made low-budget horror films.
