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?
从总体来看，这些作品不仅成为当代作家们写作的基石，而且还默默地推动着经济发展：这些书都很畅销，而改编成的电影同样会收获高票房。然而，流行作品改编成的电影也更容易收到大众差评，比如为了加快故事进展而砍掉许多原书内容，夸张和暗示等。问题在于，吸引观众的到底是什么呢？
