I saw a beautiful novel and wanted to adapt some other fragments into a script to make an animation. Is this an infringement?

Article 12 of the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC): The copyright of a work produced by adaptation, translation, annotation and arrangement of an existing work shall be enjoyed by the person who adapted, translated, annotated and arranged it, but the exercise of copyright shall not infringe upon the copyright of the original work.

Article 34 For the publication of a work resulting from adaptation, translation, annotation, collation and assembly of an existing work, the permission of the copyright owner of the adaptation, translation, annotation, collation and assembly of the work and the copyright owner of the original work shall be obtained, and remuneration shall be paid.

Article 39 A producer of sound recordings and video recordings shall obtain the permission of the copyright owner and pay remuneration for using other people's works to produce sound recordings and video recordings. Producers of audio and video recordings shall obtain permission from the copyright owner and the copyright owner of the original work and pay remuneration for the adaptation, translation, annotation and arrangement of existing works.

In addition, there are many relevant provisions in the Regulations on the Implementation of Copyright, so I won't list them one by one.

My suggestion is that if you are not just making and enjoying it yourself, but preparing for public distribution or commercial use, you must get in touch with the copyright owner. Please consult a professional lawyer for specific legal details to safeguard your legitimate rights and interests.
