On the whole, it is quite obvious that these written works have become bedrock to the writers and a silent force of economic advancements: the books are bestseller; the films are highest-grossing. Nevertheless, the popularity of the books make the films vulnerable to unfavorable reviews such as slaughtering the real story due to chronic rush of sequences, exaggerations and overtones. The question is, what beholds the viewers' eyes?
從總體來看，這些作品不僅成為當代作家們寫作的基石，而且還默默地推動著經濟發展：這些書都很暢銷，而改編成的電影同樣會收獲高票房。然而，流行作品改編成的電影也更容易收到大眾差評，比如為了加快故事進展而砍掉許多原書內容，夸張和暗示等。問題在于，吸引觀眾的到底是什么呢？
