In the past two years,the IP reprogramming drama once again set off a wave of hits,and"Mary Sue" plays a half of the game.At the same time,when these "Mary Sue" plays were broadcast,ratings and clicks were far ahead of other types of film and television dramas of the same period,and some even reached the top of the list.As a media subculture style,"Mary Sue"has long been no longer unfamiliar.It is a cultural form expressed by the online community,especially the female group.The "Mary Sue" cultural phenomenon born on the Internet has evolved with the development of the times.With the advent of a post-modernist society,it has experienced the development from the world of man and the world of the original.From the original role to the evolution of cultural symbols,from the literary world to the extension of the film and television industry,"Mary Sue"has become an endemic female gender.Cultural phenomena have attracted more and more attention.Then,why is the "Mary Sue" cultural phenomenon so favored by young people?"Mary Sue"comes from fan literature,what are its textual characteristics?How does it rise to a cultural phenomenon?This is what the author wants to analyze and solve first.At the same time,the"Mary Sue" cultural phenomenon conveys the emotional appeal of female writers and audiences.What are the deep reasons behind this?What is the significance of this?In this regard,the author combines post-modern feminist cultural theory to solve these problems.The paper focuses on the"Mary Sue" text in the Jinjiang Literature City and the hit "Mary Sue" drama.Through text analysis,we draw the following conclusions:First,the text of "Mary Sue" shows a pattern in the narrative structure:the three narrative structures of the paradigm of paradigms of rebirth,retrogression,and "NP".In the shaping of the image of the female sculptor,the characteristics of "the female savior is the biggest" are fully embodied.Second,the emergence of "Mary Sue" business culture,the growth of social groups,and the stylization of lifestyles have led to the rise of "Mary Sue" from a textual phenomenon to a cultural phenomenon.Thirdly,the production of "Mary Sue" feminine texts and subversion of traditional male-female relationships satisfy the feminist power struggles that post-modern feminism emphasizes.The yearning for ideal life makes them temporarily escape from reality,make up for the lack of romance,and finally realize Self identity.Fourth,the value significance of the "Mary Sue" cultural phenomenon lies in the resistance to male power and the reshaping of female power.It also provides new ideas and sources for the media to reshape female images.It is not only a tool against the male writing paradigm,it is also an important practice.
