It was not uncommon for online novels to involve Chinese directors shooting movies in Hollywood. Some novels described Chinese directors going to Hollywood to shoot movies and saw it as an opportunity for cross-cultural communication. These novels usually involved the cultural environment of Hollywood, the film industry, interpersonal relationships, etc. They might also involve the challenges and successes of Chinese directors in Hollywood. For example, there was a novel called " The Chinese Director of Hollywood ", which told the story of a Chinese director who went to Hollywood to shoot a movie. In the novel, the director encountered various challenges in the Hollywood film industry, such as cultural differences, technical difficulties, interpersonal relationships, etc. However, he also successfully completed an excellent Chinese film through continuous efforts and international cooperation and won the recognition of the industry and beyond. It should be noted that due to the cultural environment and values of Hollywood and China being different, when the plot of a Chinese director shooting a movie in Hollywood was depicted in the novel, it was necessary to accurately reflect the local cultural environment and values to avoid misunderstanding and offending.

China's sci-fi film industry had yet to fully develop, so Chinese directors were not generally involved in sci-fi films in the field of film production. However, in recent years, some Chinese directors had begun to create sci-fi films such as The Wandering Earth and The Three-Body Problem series, which were widely praised and recognized. China's film industry has developed rapidly in the past few decades, but at the same time, it has also faced some challenges and problems. For example, in terms of film production, Chinese directors often faced financial and resource constraints, making it difficult for them to explore various topics and styles freely like directors from other countries. In addition, Chinese culture and values also influenced the direction and style of film creation, causing some Chinese sci-fi films to be inconsistent with the needs and expectations of the international market in terms of theme and plot. However, with the continuous development and progress of the Chinese film industry, the development prospects of Chinese sci-fi films in the future were still very broad. With the continuous growth of the Chinese film market and audience demand, Chinese directors and film production companies were also expected to be more involved in the field of science fiction movies in the future and create more outstanding works to promote the development of China's science fiction film industry.

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.

This question involved many factors. First of all, web novels often had a high degree of style and personality, which was different from the narrative style and aesthetic standards of movies. Secondly, the copyright of online novels was also more complicated. Many online novels had already been copyrights owned by multiple authors. If they were adapted into movies, they needed to coordinate with different authors and copyright owners, which might bring higher costs and risks. In addition, the style and narrative of Chinese directors might be different from those of online novels. The structure and plot of the film needed to be readjusted to adapt to the adapted film. Therefore, Chinese directors might not adapt online novels into movies. This required many factors to be considered.

Shanghai Fortress was a Chinese sci-fi film that received some criticism and controversy after its release in 2022. The film had some production problems, such as the plot was not attractive enough, the visual effects were not good, and so on, which led to its mediocre performance at the box office and reputation.
