Shanghai
Lin Qi, chairman of China’s Yoozoo Group and an executive producer on Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of Chinese sci-fi trilogy
The Three-Body Problem, has been hospitalised in Shanghai after what local police have reported may be a deliberate poisoning attempt.
Police said in a Weibo blog post that Lin’s 39-year-old colleague, identified only by his surname Xu, is suspected to be the culprit. While Chinese media observed that an executive named Xu Yao heads Yoozoo’s Three-Body Universe Cultural Development Co, which holds the IP to the trilogy, police have not confirmed he is the suspect. Lin is currently in a stable condition after receiving treatment.
