On Shen From The Text Of The Novel's Film Adaptation,

Adaption of contemporary literature prevailed in the 1980's.The classic literature works,featured by its profound aesthetic beauty and connotation as well as its pecularity of art,helps to promote the taste of modern movies.At this time,works of the famous writer Shencongwen were among this trend,Biancheng,Xiaoxiao and Zhangfu has been asapted to movied and accepted by the masses.There are lots of cittics who study on Shen Congwhen"s works,including many great masters. Comparativly,those who specialize on the corresponding adaptive movies were few.In modern times,with the renovation of massmedia and incessive changes of the primary vehicle of expression,it is more widespreading to use the new ways of expressions and in this course certain rules must be obeyed.The course of adaption is another conprehend of understanding the original works and may also lead a new way to enjoy the beauty and essence of it,thus,contribute a lot in analyzing and studing of the literature works.So,it's meaningful to compare the similarity and difference of this two viecles of expression.Movie and literature are two kinds of different mediums,as well as two groups of different arts,while adaption is the best way to connect them.And in this paper I try to find the the different ways of narrative,the dissimilarity of character and image, the influence of comercial factors toword the theme of movies,as well as the personal style of director via analyzing his adaption movies and original works.This paper can be divided into three parts including preface,text and conclusion.And in preface part meaning of adaption is being discussioned.It can be divided into four parts:introduction,text and closing part.It briefly narrates the significance of the novel-to-film adaption.The text consist of four parts:The first part:novel to film:art forms,the variention of the form convertion and aesthetic needs.It mainly discussed the impact of the commercial capital and the discrepancy of the two difference forms as well as its aesthetic charming and popularity.Literature riched the source of movie while movie made literatue widely known.It is just through the movie,many people begin get familiar with Shen Congwen,thus a hits toward him begins.There are two different dipicting devices from film and novel.Literature indrectly express the idiology and notion through literal,describes the sutle feeling and complicated state of mind,while the dipicting expressing is direct,that is to emphasize the theme through various devices including scene,cameral,dialogue,sound and rhythm.Reader's comprenhend varies due to the different devices and the cause is also made from the director's aesthetic preference.The second part is about analyzing the narration.The descrepancy mainly focus on the additions and deletions of themes,the narrative perspective,and the compact of narration.There can be several clueses proceed together in a novel but comparativly simple and dependent ones in a movie.The movie,which added the director's individual ideas and aesthetic comprehend,give the audience sense of up to date feelings.The third people angel was adapted in novels.The author was supposed to know all of what happened,and can see all of what people did.The advantage of this angel lies in the dipicting of the state of mind and feeling of all the people,with no limitation of space and time.In movies,the third person "I" is expressed by the voice of myself directly which possess more strengths than the one in novels.Fiction requires a more rigorous logic,while film focus more on the compact of narrative.Director palys a diciding role in the rhythm and tempo style if the film. emboded and maintened the original Xiangxi landscape as much as can.voice-over explained and siological and psychological effect adopted to the audience made them feel one in the novel.The third part is about analyzing the characters of novels and movies.In the novels,many classic persons were dipicted,and among them,the rustic young ladies of Xiang'xi were most striking.They were pure and innocence,no zigzag plot and violent conflict as in other novels.In contrast,they live in a family with much love but not abundant wealth,which folsted their own human nature.The author adopted the reserved style of writing to express the image of these young ladies in varies aspects,more concentrate in their attitude toword love and life,which is honest, enthusiastic and serious.The aspiration and calling of resist of "modern civilization" and the praising of beautiful heart and nature were fully expressed in his novel.The fourth part is about part three focus on the diferent style of film adapted of novels,Lingzifeng beatifed the bitter station of the original novel which gives a new color.This creation is totally differ from his traditional favor—delicate,lyrical, fresh style instead of a wild,powerful one which give the readers a fresh feeling.Xie Fei "Xiang Nv Xiaoxiao," describes the tragic fate of a women of whom he gave deep affections in his works.On the one hand,the film present the life of Xiaoxiao in a lyrical tone;and in the other hand,the film conveyed a suffocating atmosphere of feudal culture in the dark,depressed,Lengjun colors,and to strengthen the constant comparison in the collision.While "Huang Shu-qin showed a unique artistic thinking in the film "Cunjii" which strengthed the integrity of the female image of all the rebellion of all-Chinese feudal culture on the screen including Confucianism,Taoism and Buddhism,to gain the socal status of women.The content of the closing part is to reorganize the effect of adapting by analyzing its gain and loss.The aspect needs to be overcome is,on the one hand,the adaptions not overcome but stress some out-of-dated featues;on the other hand, they decrease the taste and thought of original novels,just to cater to the common taste,that is,vulgar the work.Analyzing the adaption works can help us to overcome the problems faced in adapting jobs,and also can provide some experiences as well as the theory support.
