Chinese directors adapted web novels into movies for the following reasons: 1. The copyright of online novels usually belongs to the author or copyright owner, not the film production company. This meant that the film production company needed to obtain permission from the author or copyright owner to adapt their novel into a movie. If the director didn't have enough money or power to buy the copyright, then he couldn't adapt the web novel into a movie. 2. The audience problem: web novels usually have a wide audience, but movies are more likely to attract more professional audiences. This meant that if the audience for the movie was different from that of the online novel, the movie might not be able to receive enough box office revenue or audience support. Style: The style of web novels is usually free, relaxed, and humorous, while the style of movies is usually more formal, serious, and tense. This meant that if an online novel was adapted into a movie, it might lose its original characteristics and appeal. 4. Difficulty of adaptation: To adapt a web novel into a movie, the storyline, character settings, and scenes needed to be reconstructed and adjusted. This required the director to have rich experience and imagination, while also ensuring the logic and cohesiveness of the story. If the adaptation was not done properly, the quality of the film might not be good. Therefore, Chinese directors faced many challenges in adapting online novels into movies. They needed to invest a lot of time and energy to ensure the quality and success of the film.
