No, 'Shanghai Fortress' wasn't based on any other novel or pre-existing source.
'Shanghai Fortress' was released in China in 2022. On Douban, the movie had a rating of 73 points (1000 people). Although the rating was not very high, the movie had a large number of comments on Douban and had a certain degree of influence. However, it should be noted that Douban's ratings are subjective and can not fully represent the quality and value of a film.
Sorry, I'm a fan of online literature and can't watch movies or provide personal opinions. However, according to my knowledge of online literature," Shanghai Fortress " is a novel written by Jiang Nan. It tells the story of a future world. It mainly tells the choices and sacrifices of humans in the face of the invasion of alien civilizations. After the book was published, it received widespread praise and was hailed as one of the representative works of Chinese science fiction. If you are interested in this book, you can read the original text and decide whether you like it or not.
If you like sci-fi and suspense romance novels, I recommend " My Wife Was Stolen ". This novel is also a modern romance novel, but it has some neurotic and heavy elements, and the plot is very tight. I hope you like this novel, and its author is Pan Luoluo.
I'm not sure. Maybe it's an original story and not based on anything specific.
There are quite a few. 'Steins;Gate' is one example. It successfully adapted the complex story and characters from the visual novel and became very popular.
I have no idea. Maybe it's an original creation without being based on anything specific.
Well, they first have to identify the central themes of the novel. In a film based on 'Moby - Dick', the themes of obsession and man vs. nature need to be carried over. Then, they might change the sequence of events a bit for dramatic effect. In 'Dracula' films, the order of some of the vampire's encounters might be adjusted. They also have to make decisions about how much of the novel's dialogue to use. In 'A Tale of Two Cities' films, some of the famous lines from the novel are often included to stay true to the source, but other dialogue might be created for the flow of the film.
It's quite accurate. The 2022 Batman comic sticks closely to the original ideas and themes.
Some movies stay very close to the plot of the graphic novel. For example, 'Road to Perdition' followed the main storyline quite faithfully. It took the key characters and events from the graphic novel and translated them well to the screen.
The main reason why 'Shanghai Fortress' had a low Douban rating was that its performance in the market was not as good as expected. The novel was set in a futuristic world, where an Earthling and an alien lived. Although this story had a high literary value, after it was adapted into a movie, the plot was too complicated and lacked attractive special effects and visual effects. As a result, the audience's reputation was not good, and the Douban rating was affected accordingly. In addition, some plots of the novel have also caused controversy, such as the relationship between humans and aliens and the ethics of science and technology, which may also affect Douban's rating.
