The Reorganization of Characters and the Change of"City"——An Examination of the Edition of Chen Huansheng Goes to Town
Chen Huansheng Goes to Town is one of Gao Xiaosheng's most influential works.Its first publication and first edition are highly stable.Starting from The Lord of the Funnel Household in 1979,the author spent 12 years creating the"Chen Huansheng series of novels".Based on this,Gao created and published a full-length novel,Chen Huansheng Goes to the City and Goes Abroad,through a process of concatenation and rewriting.In fact,Chen Huansheng has become a household name after the film Chen Huansheng Goes to Town was released na-tionwide in 1982.In fact,this film is an adaptation of Chen Huansheng Goes to Town and Chen Huansheng Changes Jobs together,with the latter being the main framework of the story.In the process of adaptation,the"city"that the main character goes to has quietly changed.From the novel to the film,the film literary book The Adventures of Chen Huansheng has been ignored by researchers."Chen Huansheng"entered the audience's vision again be-cause of the rehearsal of the comedy"Chen Huansheng's Livinghood"in 2018,which is different from the tradi-tional sense of adaptation,and can only be counted as a"derivative version".
