The film adaptation of the original work was the process of transforming a literary work into a film. In the adaptation process, it was important to respect the original work, but it did not mean that it had to be completely in line with the original work. A classic adaptation might not necessarily conform to the original work. For example, the TV series version of Journey to the West was different from the original work, but it was still considered an excellent TV series. An adapted work could add some more dramatic content on the basis of respecting the original work to show the expertise of film and television art. Successful adapted works often retained the original features while aesthetically enhancing them by adding and deleting details and redesigning the character. Some of the adapted works even surpassed the original, such as the five different versions of The Great Gatsby. The audience had a higher standard for adapted works, hoping that the plot and characters would meet their expectations. Therefore, when adapting the original work, respect for the original work and innovation were important considerations.
