Research On The Narrative Of Ice And Snow Sports TV Series

During the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle,China’s sports film and television industry has seen a boom.In the field of sports TV series,there have been a number of productions released.Most of these TV series are about the development and achievements of China’s ice and snow sports,presenting the history of the struggle of China’s ice and snow sports for the audience.Therefore,for this kind of drama that shows the history,the narrative of the drama is particularly important.To tell a good history,we must first tell a good story,and to tell a good story,we must learn to narrate.Based on the background of China’s successful preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games,this paper selects the sports TV series "Beyond",a sports drama with the theme of ice and snow sports broadcasted during the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle,comprehensively understands the narrative of sports TV series In order to explore the key to telling Chinese sports stories well.The first chapter explains the background of this thesis: in the context of the Beijing Winter Olympics,ice and snow drama series become a genre that can fully demonstrate the charm and spirit of winter sports,which has a great role and significance in showing the profound connotation of sports and promoting the depth and breadth of ice and snow sports,and the necessity of studying the narrative form of ice and snow sports drama series.The second chapter composes a review of relevant studies on sports TV narrative and defines the concept of sports TV narrative.It summarizes the relevant studies on TV drama narratives at home and abroad,and conducts a literature review of the previous relevant academic papers.The third chapter outlines the narrative problems commonly found in sports drama series.The plot is entertaining and the spirit of sports is absent;the characters are facialized,the casting has no sense of immersion and the development vein is imperfect;the localization is neglected and innovation is lacking.Chapter 4 examines the narrative technique of the ice and snow drama Beyond,comparing the traditional one-dimensional linear narrative of the contemporaneous work The Name of Ice and Snow,and finds that it enriches the connotation level of the story theme,expands the space for character development,and promotes the diversification of the plot under the construction of a dual-time narrative structure.The dual narrative perspective of omniscient perspective and limited perspective is adopted to drive the plot,and the combination of excellent picture language and sound language enhances the chronological sense of the story.As a sports drama,the depiction of the athletes’ growth and hard training also makes the audience appreciate the cruelty of competitive sports and the hard-won gold medals.Chapter 5 explores the narrative strategy of how "Beyond" became a breakout hit among a large number of contemporaries in the context of the Winter Olympics.It is concluded that it uses the narrative technique of family and nation,focusing on the individual,reflecting the humanistic spirit of putting people at the center,seeing the big picture in a small way,and building a "family and nation community" at the same time while extending the spirit of sports.The visual contrast of the times not only reflects the difficult development of the short track speed skating program,but also the rapid development of China’s technology and economy;the civilian narrative approach meets the increasingly diversified viewing needs of the audience,expands the spiritual direction of sports works,and completes a profound and comprehensive writing on the spirit of sports,and also highlights the long cultural tradition of the Chinese nation.Secondly,the interviews with industry professionals at the end of each episode are one of the highlights of the drama.These interviews not only enhance the credibility and authenticity of the drama,but also supplement the details not mentioned in the drama,allowing the audience to see the old generation of ice and snowmen fighting hard for their love.Chapter 6 concludes the paper with an outlook,namely,analyzing the narrative form of Beyond through narrative perspective,narrative language,narrative structure,and narrative techniques,and exploring the possibility of telling the Chinese sports story well under the construction of a dual-temporal narrative structure combined with the theory of family sentiment.Using a multi-dimensional,multi-angle narrative form to transform the originally exciting and intense real-life story into a visual text form,we discover the significance of the play as a sample for related subjects.Effectively promote the dissemination of ice and snow sports culture,draw on mature ice and snow sports film models,and gradually improve the narrative ability,create a fine ice and snow sports film with Chinese characteristics and telling the Chinese story.
