Talking about the narrative art of Alive , what is the difference between the design of the narrati

The setting of the singers' characters, the abstract and allegorical design of the stage and the modeling, the stage rhythm is distinct, and the stage is full of emotion (the abstract set does not weaken the performance and emotional concentration of the characters' emotions, and the degree of abstraction and character emotions is well mastered).

Struggling in the torrent of history, a broken bowl that has been repeatedly repaired", the tragedy of "Alive" is to arouse people's compassion for the fate of the characters, and the characters in the play live in a mixture of joy and sorrow (after the tragedy, the beautiful things are constantly torn apart by fate, and the last remaining hope for life is also eroded) - the small joy of the spark in the great sorrow, which is where the audience is moved and shed tears.

Introduction

Meng Jinghui's version of "Alive" is a narrative drama that adopts Brecht's theory - the "dissociation method". By communicating with the audience rationally, reasonably, and directly, the audience is in an active position in the relationship between the audience and the performance, and its purpose is to trigger the audience's thinking about the value and meaning of life and life.

It is different from the flat and straightforward, plain and simple language style, and even a little bit of bystander's stay out of the matter, but the reader can't help but fall into a heavy depression and sadness. It is also different from the movie "Alive", which puts the little people at the bottom under different difficult times, and makes us reflect on the relationship between the times and the fate of the people.

In narrative literature and film and television, the design of clues is crucial. A clear, active thread is like a tenacious thread that can connect the characters, plots, times, places, and other elements of the entire work like a string of beads. So what is the difference between the design of the narrative thread of the movie "Alive" and **"Alive"?

First, the design of the narrative thread of "Alive".

In the ** of "Alive", Yu Hua chose the element of "death" to repeat the narrative eight times, and wrote "alive" with "death" to highlight the difficulty of "living". At the same time, Yu Hua designed two specific images, "Hospital" and "Tears", to show death again and again. However, the placement of the eight deaths in film and television works will undoubtedly make the narrative rhythm drag, and whether it is "tears" or "hospital" repeated in audiovisual language, it will seem too redundant, disrupting the audience's memory and feedback on the more valuable parts.

Therefore, this requires the adaptor to re-choose visual imagery that is more convenient for emotional catharsis to reproduce Yu Hua's ingenious conception.

Second, the design of the narrative thread of the film "Alive".

In the film, Zhang Yimou chose the traditional folk art of shadow puppetry as the dark line of the film. This change makes the film more watchable and entertaining, and most importantly, the audience can divide the film into several large sections according to the clue of shadow puppetry, making the narrative more explicit. For example, when the shadow puppet show first appeared, the protagonist Fugui was still a gentleman, and he just regarded singing shadow puppet play as a ticket; When shadow puppetry appeared for the second time, it had already become a livelihood tool for Fugui.

After that, shadow puppetry accompanied him through the Liberation War, land reform, and the "Great Leap Forward", and was finally destroyed during the "Cultural Revolution". The "Cultural Revolution" destroyed shadow puppetry, and also destroyed the spiritual food on which Fugui's generation depended. However, at the end of the film, the chicks are put into the shadow box, symbolizing the hope of the next generation.

Third, the design of the narrative clues of the TV series "Alive".

The TV series "Fugui" sets the story in Anhui, and also adds Anhui local opera Flower Drum Opera as a narrative clue. In the TV series, the beginning of the story is advanced, and the love story of Fugui and his wife Jiazhen is told in five episodes, and the flower drum opera has become a bridge between the two. At the end of the film, Jiazhen also passed away peacefully in the sound of the flower drum sung by Fugui.

In the background of different eras, the singing style of the flower drum opera may be different, but the lively flower drum opera has always been the inheritance and continuation of the emotions of the characters in the play. At the same time, the addition of the Flower Drum Opera also enriches the character of Feng Xia, in the original work, there is no too much description of Feng Xia's personal life or personal pursuit, more of Feng Xia as a victim to shape. The TV series catharsis the joys and sorrows of the mute girl Fengxia through the flower drum play, and found another "language" full of power for Fengxia - although she can't speak, her feelings are undiminished, reflecting the creator's deep humanistic care.

The movie is alive mainly to use the change of the era to promote the plot, and ** is to use the change of feelings.

The practical significance of "Alive" is as follows:

What Yu Hua wants to express through "Alive" is that there is no happiness or unhappiness in life, life is just living, living quietly, with a hint of loneliness. "Alive" is simple and simple, but it is actually a calm narrative about death, the death of humans and the death of animals.

"Alive" is a heavy ** to read. The faint unhappiness that can only be felt when the book is closed is not caused by the cruelty of the story provided by the work, but at the same time it is a good book that really changes the attitude of life.

Fugui left a deep impression on me in the book: "No matter how thin a person's life is, as long as he wants to live, he can't die." "Some people will always despair of life because of some misfortune that they think they are.

There is no happiness or unhappiness in life, life just needs you to live quietly. I am very satisfied with my life now, there is nothing that I can't get over when I live, and there is hope for everything in life. Person.

Life is like this, life and death are not something we can **, but every day we can see the oncoming morning light and the slowly rising morning sun in the hurried steps, along the soft light, slightly closed eyes, looking at the rainbow that appears under the eyelashes. Isn't this a kind of happiness, a kind of happiness to be alive! <>

As a word, "alive" is full of power in our Chinese language, and its power does not come from shouting, nor from attacking, but from enduring, to endure the responsibilities that life gives us, to endure the happiness and suffering that reality gives us, boredom and mediocrity, difficulties and frustrations, wisdom and life, death and suffering. The bitterness of life chokes people with the feeling of tears. "Alive" teaches us to observe smiles through tears, and to experience the joy of survival through suffering.
