An adaptation based on the original could help the author understand the way the film was presented and the creative process, so as to better evaluate the influence and commercial value of the film. At the same time, it could also promote the exchange and cooperation between film and literature to promote the development of the two fields. To mark an adaptation based on the original work, one had to follow certain rules and standards. Usually, the source of the film had to be marked in the opening, poster, trailer, and other places, and the copyright information of the original work had to be provided.
