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.
Anime adaptations usually adapt the visual novel's art style to some extent. They may also cut out some of the more text - heavy parts of the visual novel. In the case of 'Steins; Gate', they focused on the most exciting and important parts of the time - travel mystery. They also adapt the character designs to be more suitable for animation, like making the characters more expressive in motion compared to the static images in the visual novel.
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.
Sure. The word 'novice' can be somewhat related. Although it has a different main meaning, it also shares the root idea of 'new'. A novice is someone new to a particular activity or field. And, as mentioned before, 'novelty' is closely tied to the source of 'novel' as it emphasizes the new or original aspect that was inherent in the origin of the word 'novel'.
It's quite accurate. The 2022 Batman comic sticks closely to the original ideas and themes.
