Solo And Collusion:A Study On The "Memory" Writing Of Chinese Main Melody Movie

Because of its unique audio-visual language,the movie has an incomparable expressive power in presenting and shaping "memory".Therefore,the movie can not only present and restore the collective memory of the state and the nation,but also shape and construct the individual memory of the public.But as Thomas Schatz says,"the main fascination and sociocultural function of the movie are basically ideological." As a type of the movie with Chinese characteristics,the main melody movie bears the political and social function that shape and spread the mainstream values and ideology as well as the image of the country and the nation.It plays a very important role in the whole Chinese movie pattern.Because of political requirements and realistic needs in the 1980s and 1990s,the main melody movie must eminently present and shape the collective memory,so the collective memory during this time is in the solo period and the individual memory is in a weak position in the creation of the main melody movie.After entering the 21th century,the differentiated individual memory has had a great impact on the existing homogenized collective memory under the background of the boom of popular culture and the rapid development of new media.The stereotyped main melody movie has been unable to satisfy the needs of the current movie market,so the main melody movie,as the main body of "memory" image writing,has become the mutually constructed collusion between the collective memory and the individual memory.On the basis of thinking about the realistic environment of the development about the main melody movie in our country,this treatise applies the related theories of journalism and communication as well as collective memory,and combines with the representative main melody movies in our country since the 1980s in order to discuss the"memory" writing of the Chinese main melody movie from three aspects:historical memory,traumatic memory and character memory.It also reflects on the image writing of the collective memory and the individual memory in the Chinese main melody movie.This treatise is divided into four parts.The first part gives a brief overview of the research background and significance,research status and research design about this topic,and defines the core concepts of this treatise.The second part briefly describes the transformation of the production environment of the Chinese main melody movie from three aspects:media environment,cultural environment and policy environment.As the main part of this treatise,the third part analyzes and explores the image writing changes about the collective memory and individual memory of the Chinese main melody movies from three aspects:the close-up of historical memory,the adaptation of trauma memory and the rewriting of character memory.The fourth part makes a brief summary of this treatise,analyzes the limitations of this study,and puts forward some possible paths for the future development of the "memory" writing of the main melody movies.
