On the Narrative Strategies of Adapting Novels and TV Series from Mao Dun Literature Awards
Mao Dun Literature Award novels,with their profound social connotation and rich literary value,have become high-quality materials for TV drama adaptation.In the process of film and television adaptation of these works,two key factors should be carefully balanced:on the one hand,it should be faithful to the literary spirit and core theme of the original works and maintain the e-motional tone of the works;on the other hand,it should make full use of the unique nature of the medium of film and television in order to realize the artistic transformation from literature to film and television.In characterization,the adaptation should deeply show the in-ner world of the characters and enhance their emotional expression through film and television means.In terms of plot adaptation,under the premise of maintaining the emotional tone of the original work,necessary plot adjustments should be made to improve the coherence of the narrative and audience appeal.The time and space treatment of the narrative should reproduce the time background and space environment of the original work to ensure that the visual experience is harmonized with the literary work.This adaptation is an innova-tive combination of respect for the literary nature of the original work and the expressive power of film and television.
