The boundary for adapting true events lies in balancing artistic freedom with legal protections. In China, no law requires authorization from prototypes or families for adaptation, as real events aren't copyrighted. However, modifications must not infringe name, portrait, reputation, or privacy rights—avoid defamation, insults, or false depictions that lower social evaluation.Key risks: Exaggerated or fictional elements harming reputation can lead to lawsuits (e.g., cases like "Dear" or "I'm Not the God of Medicine" prototypes). Best practice: Obtain authorization, use disclaimers like "based on true events, some parts fictionalized," change names/details.Internationally, similar—disclaimers help but don't fully protect against defamation claims.https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_14098292
