From print media to film and television、Network,Every medium has its own place for art,The evolution of media goes hand in hand with the development of art。The beginning of the development of every bet365 withdrawal,Everyone can see the figure of "Journey to the West"。"Journey to the West" is highly involved in media evolution,I am also constantly undergoing artistic innovation,The symbiosis between the two is reflected in the synchronization of cross-media artistic innovation and media evolution in "Journey to the West"。Accompanied by the exploration process of each bet365 withdrawal discourse and form,The cross-media practice of "Journey to the West" shows the same pattern,From faithfulness to rewriting,The journey of "joking" in "Journey to the West" goes further and further,And in the process, a series of exemplary works were produced。Since the 20th century,There are basically three types of creative cross-media adaptations of "Journey to the West": representational type,Based on the original work,Small adaptation,Faithfully reproduces the structure of the original work;phenotype,That is, within the framework of the original intention,Utilize and adapt story material with new discoveries and interpretations;Destructured,That is, the original work is the origin of the adapted text,From external story to internal structure、A complete rebellious rewriting of spiritual values。

  The bet365 withdrawal of "Journey to the West" opens up a diverse creative landscape

 20th century,The bet365 withdrawal of "Journey to the West" follows the footsteps of Chinese modernity,Farewell to the pre-modern situation in which representational adaptations of operas were the only one in the world,Open a diverse creative landscape。First half of the 20th century,The performance bet365 withdrawal led by the renovated novel of "Journey to the West" is soaring all the way,The ever-changing situation in the 20th century breeds eclecticism、The new creative atmosphere of diverse expressions。Until the 1980s,Representative bet365 withdrawal creativity represented by CCTV’s version of “Journey to the West” has emerged again,Return to the spirit of the original work,Inject reform discourse,Set off the climax of classic bet365 withdrawal,Reproduce the classic value,Promote its serious meaning。

"Faithfulness" also became the aesthetic standard for adaptations from the 1980s to the 1990s due to the success of a number of classic adaptations such as "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions"。Late 1990s,The postmodern trend of thought is emerging,A movie "Westward Journey" has changed the pattern of "faithful" domination in the field of classic adaptations that has continued for nearly two decades,The subversive creative type that completely rebels against the concept of "loyalty" is the emergence of deconstruction,The creative trend of deconstructing classic content and promoting its game meaning has begun to spread to the emerging bet365 withdrawal, that is, the field of online adaptation,Finally sweeping the drama、anime、Various categories of film and television。Creative types of adaptations of "Journey to the West" in the 20th century,Showing a dramatic pattern of change and evolution: a "faithful" reproduction of the past,To groundbreaking performance rewrite,To return to "faithful" reappearance,Towards a full-scale rebellion and rewriting,The road of innovation and evolution of cross-bet365 withdrawal adaptation of "Journey to the West" is like a winding and wavy curve,Synchronizing with bet365 withdrawal evolution。

Adaptation generally appears at the beginning of the maturity of bet365 withdrawal。Whether it is a European and American movie or a Chinese movie,Most of the works in the early stages came from adaptations。The world's first talkie film "The Jazz Singer" in 1927 was adapted from a musical。The first film in Chinese film history, "Dingjun Mountain" (1905), was based on "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"。Literary resources that can become materials for new media adaptations,Basically a highly mature narrative template。"Journey to the West" as a narrative classic in the history of Chinese literature,It must appear at the beginning of Chinese film history。

As a growing narrative art,Any bet365 withdrawal must imitate similar classic narrative patterns。In this sense,Adaptation is the experimental field for the development of bet365 withdrawal,Paves the way for bet365 withdrawal exploration。Representational adaptation can be regarded as a creative phenomenon accompanying the initial stage of the development of bet365 withdrawal,It is also the paradigm of initial creation of bet365 withdrawal,This is also the transitional stage when bet365 withdrawal fails to find its own unique form of artistic expression。Lack of corresponding media language and expression form,Representative adaptation in the initial stage is very naive,Basically a replica of the borrowed material。For example,The movie "Dingjun Mountain" is actually a recorded version of the opera "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"。The silent film "Pansi Cave" is also an opera translation of "Journey to the West"。

The development of bet365 withdrawal has gone through a long period of exploration,It is also the process of adaptation and transformation,Prompts the difference between new media language and other narrative languages,Thus opening up the consciousness of new media ontology,Exploring the language form of new media itself。Take the innovation of film media art as an example,1930s-1980s,This is an important stage for film adaptation creators to explore the differences between image language and literary language,A large number of adaptation creators and theorists have emerged。American film artist David Griffith is a figure with foundational significance in the construction of film narrative language,Most of his film language experiments were adapted from Dickens novels。American film theorist George Bluestone listed the differences between the two narrative vehicles in more detail: "In the use of metonymy、Influence the audience (readers)、Dealing with ideologies (including dreams、Memories、Emotion、Fantasy) and other abilities,Until they apply their own programs、The way of time and space。" ("Theoretical Issues in Film Adaptation" edited by Chen Xihe,China Film Publishing House 1988 edition)

 The ontology consciousness of bet365 withdrawal inspires innovation consciousness

The discovery of film ontology and film language,Promote adaptation to no longer stop at simply copying the narrative language of the borrowed material,But "expression" in the language and form of the new media's ontology。In this sense,Adaptation promotes the development of bet365 withdrawal。In reverse,From the perspective of adaptation as an independent art,The awareness of the ontology of bet365 withdrawal inspires the awareness of adaptation and innovation,Having given birth to an emerging creative type of adaptation, namely “performance”。Looking at the history of adapted art from international to domestic throughout the period,A large number of "phenomenal" adaptations have emerged。Ti Shah Azizrova once put forward innovative views on the adaptation of Tolstoy's works。

Looking at the entire world art history,The 1960s to 1980s were the climax of cross-media adaptation of literature,Whether it’s a movie、Drama,Still a comic strip (comic),A large number of literary adaptations。Cross-media adaptation has given rise to new expressive creative works,became the central topic of bet365 withdrawal theory in this period。Performative adaptations of "Journey to the West" also appeared during this period。First, take the field of film adaptation as an example。The Chinese film industry during this period moved from Shanghai in the early 20th century to Hong Kong,The capital market stimulates the rapid development of the film industry,Movie creativity is at an all-time high。Shaw Brothers Film Company’s adaptation of “Journey to the West” dares to break through the original work,Implant new ideas,The series of works launched set a precedent for expressive creativity in the history of film adaptations of "Journey to the West"。Shaw Brothers’ film adaptation also led the trend of cross-media performance adaptation of “Journey to the West” in the following decades。Since Japan launched its first TV series "Journey to the West" in 1976,Many film and television drama adaptations have followed this creative route,This idea has been radiated to the "Journey to the West" comic、anime、Game adaptation,And established the overall pattern of cross-cultural adaptation of "phenotypes",South Korea、Europe and America、Australia follows closely behind。

Adaptation creative types not only have different forms of expression,Still innovating on the basis of the initial reproduction type,An “advanced” version of the reproduction type appears。Bazin in the book "What is Cinema",Proposed image ontology,Believe that film has an independent nature from other bet365 withdrawal,On the issue of adaptation,He thinks there are many ways to adapt it。At the same time,He also strongly advocates a "non-pure film" adaptation。This new adaptation paradigm advocated by Bazin,Actually, it is an upgraded version of the reproduction type adaptation,It uses the medium of film to completely restore the original appearance of the novel,To treat adaptation as an independent art,Instead of using bet365 withdrawal conversion technology to process it。86 version of "Journey to the West" is the pinnacle of representational adaptations,Although it does not achieve the "complete restoration" mentioned by Bazin,But it fully utilizes the nature of the television image medium,Highly reproduces the mythical fantasy world and humanistic core of the novel。

It can be said,bet365 withdrawal is in the stage of gaining independence and ontology,Adapted materials no longer just serve as formal resources for the growth of bet365 withdrawal,Adaptation creation is no longer a transitional stage in the development of bet365 withdrawal,But turned into an independent art field,Having the inner desire for growth and development。Of course,It’s worth noting,The 20th century is the age of visual images,Film and television are undoubtedly the dominant media,Cross-media adaptation must obey another law,That is, leading media to lead innovation,Other new media are affected by it,Following。

  New visual bet365 withdrawal reconstructs film narrative rules

 Mid and late 20th century,New media has not only become an independent art kingdom with ontological significance,With the decline of traditional media,Counterattack in the new visual media field。New media is based on the affinity of the public and the efficiency of communication,Become a field of pioneering cultural practice,Strategies and tools to become a voice for new trends of thought。If you say,First half of the 20th century,New media from technology to art,Completed the pursuit of the true body,Formed a series of independent art rules,Then,Move to the second half,New media meets postmodernity,It means that the central principle of postmodernity will lead the self-revolution of the media。Media Language、Narrative convention、Typed, etc.,Will encounter new challenges,The new rules of postmodernity will be embedded in new experiments in bet365 withdrawal。The first person to initiate this bet365 withdrawal revolution was Jean-Luc Godard, the founder of the French New Wave film,He uses collage、Fragmentation、Untyped、Deconstruction and other methods subvert the established film narrative tradition,Reconstructing new rules for film narrative。And this new change in film media art has spread from Europe to the Americas and even the world,And also radiate from the mainstream medium of film to other media,Postmodernity becomes the new label for new media in the 20th century。"Journey to the West" has once again become a testing ground for Chinese postmodern art。1994,Hong Kong films took the lead in this experiment,"Westward Journey" is released,Announced the emergence of a new type of creative adaptation of "Journey to the West", namely deconstruction。Deconstructive creativity not only leads the online literary adaptation of "Journey to the West",Also swept other art fields in China,Becoming a creative type that has been popular since the end of the 20th century。

From the above summary,We see,The creative adaptation of "Journey to the West" changes from representational to expressive、Deconstruction continues to develop,What is presented is a faithful original work、The path from independent adaptation to rebellion against the original work。It can be said,The adaptation of "Journey to the West" is accompanied by the growth of bet365 withdrawal in the 20th century,Provides a carrier for the development of bet365 withdrawal;In reverse,Experiments in media art also promoted the creative leap in the adaptation of "Journey to the West",Become the direct driving force for creative adaptation。
