Ma Shitu was a modern Chinese commentator and scholar whose original name was Ma Xiliang. His works were known for their profound social criticism and human thinking, and were known as "contemporary Lu Xun". When his works were adapted into movies, they were often well received by audiences and critics because they could better present and display the cultural and historical background of the film. The most recent film adaptation of Ma Shitu's work was Return, which was directed by Zhang Yimou and starred Gong Li, Ge You, Chen Daoming, and other actors. The film was released in 2013 and received widespread praise. The film told the story of two Chinese students studying in the Soviet Union. They went through different stages of their lives after returning to China. This movie displayed the theme and style of Ma Shitu's works through exquisite emotional descriptions and profound character creation, as well as the style of modern Chinese history. Other than " The Return ", Ma Shitu's other works had also been adapted into movies such as " A Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart " and " Alive ". These films were well received by the audience and critics because they could better present the ideas and style of Ma Shitu's works and also show the development and progress of Chinese movies.

Filmmakers often start by doing in - depth research. They study historical records, interview people related to the story if possible. Then they condense the key elements of the real story to fit the movie format. For example, in 'Hidden Figures', they focused on the main events and achievements of the female African - American mathematicians at NASA.

Monster films adapt real stories by taking the basic concept. For example, if there's a real - life legend of a sea serpent, the film might use the idea of a large, aquatic monster. Then they add fictional details like the ability to breathe fire or having a hypnotic gaze. They also create characters and a plot around the monster. So instead of just a random sighting in a real story, in the film there could be a group of scientists trying to study or defeat the monster.

Films often have to condense the story. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', the novel has a lot of detailed descriptions of the characters' inner thoughts and social interactions. The movie has to pick the most important parts like the key meetings between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. They also might change some minor plot points for the sake of time or to make the story more cinematic. In 'The Lord of the Rings', some of the side stories in the book were simplified to keep the focus on the main quest.

Films based on stories often simplify the original plot. They need to condense a long story into a two - hour or so movie. For example, in 'The Hobbit' films, some of the side - stories from the book were either cut or streamlined to keep the main plot moving forward. Another way is by emphasizing certain aspects more. In 'Gone Girl', the psychological thriller aspect was enhanced compared to the book.
