Looking for various novels made into TV series and movies

"Looking Beautiful" is adapted from Wang Shuo's novel of the same name

Comments: This book is Wang Shuo's comeback after ten years of writing, and it is also considered to be Wang Shuo's representative work at the end of his talents. , the whole book basically has no ideological connotation, and is highly suspected of showing off. There are no eye-catching plots or paragraphs throughout the book, but it is deliberately linked to its earlier literary works. It feels like a "prequel", but the level of hype has not improved since the book was released. Later, it rose to a higher level and can be said to be a pioneering work of Chinese literary hype.

The film was compiled and adapted by Zhang Yuan. The kindergarten scenes were taken out individually to form a movie. Many flaws in the original work were deleted. At the same time, the theme was deepened and the sense of the picture was strengthened. However, due to the low level of the original work and the limited room for adaptation, the movie is not very exciting at best, but it is not easy to achieve the current effect.

"Party A and Party B" is adapted from Wang Shuo's novel "The Idiot"

Comment: The original novel is not very readable. It is basically a group of bored gangsters in Beijing sitting together and chatting about the mountains. Film director Feng Xiaogang also plays a role in the novel. However, after Feng Xiaogang's artistic treatment, and as the first New Year's film, "Party A and Party B" performed well. The ruffian flavor in the original work was also processed by Feng into a kind of philistine-style smoothness and humor, which is quite popular among the audience.

"Letter from an Unknown Woman" is adapted from Zweig's novel of the same name

Comment: The original novel is not a classic from a literary point of view, and there is no pretense of words. Place, simply a novel written in the form of letters. In the movie, Xu Jinglei cleverly did not make any changes to the original story, but only changed the background of the original story to China. However, regardless of the story, plot, consciousness and plot rationality, it did not give people the impression that it was divorced from Chinese thinking. It feels like the laziest and wisest Chinese-style adaptation of a foreign literary work.

"A World Without Thieves" is adapted from Zhao Benfu's novel of the same name

Comment: A short story published in a magazine, with average readability and entertainment, and the author's ability to control words He is not very clever either. Being chosen to be made into a movie is mostly a matter of chance. But precisely because the novel itself does not have many "fixed" restrictions, it provides a very broad space for film adaptation. The director can freely use it to add characters, plots, and change the direction of the paragraphs, making the adapted film exciting. To a lesser extent, the theory itself has improved a lot.

"Raise the Red Lantern" is adapted from Su Tong's novel "Wives and Concubines"

Comments: A representative contemporary Chinese literary work that profoundly analyzes traditional Chinese polygamy. disadvantages. The movie formalizes the original novel and adds the symbolic prop "Red Lantern" that is not in the novel, which is a highlight of the adaptation. At the same time, the plot of fake pregnancy is added to deepen the contradiction.

The shortcoming is that the "Dead Man's Well" in the original work was replaced by the "Dead Man's Room" (probably out of anti-superstition considerations, because of the haunted plot in the original work), which makes the original work psychedelic. The feeling is reduced. In addition, the ending is very different from the original novel. Songlian could not bear the reality and went crazy directly in the original novel, but changed it to revenge after learning the truth in the movie, so that the "cruel" realism side was not expressed more vividly.

"Furong Town" is adapted from the novel of the same name that won the Guhua Contradictory Literature Award

Comment: The structure of the novel has been readjusted, but the style of the original novel has not been changed at all. However, there are not many traces of adaptation. The characters, scenes, dialogues, etc. are exactly the same as the novel. Therefore, it can be said that those who have read the movie do not need to read the novel, but those who have read the novel can still go and watch the movie.

"Red Sorghum" is adapted from Mo Yan's novel "The Red Sorghum Family"

Comment: It is a representative work of Mo Yan's magical Chinese style, and its brilliance needs no elaboration. The film mainly selected parts of the novels "Red Sorghum" and "Sorghum Wine", and grasped the feeling of the original work very well. The textual feeling in the original work was expressed very appropriately through the pictures. The film is relaxed and relaxed. No wonder it won numerous awards that year.

"Sunny Day" is adapted from Wang Shuo's novel "The Ferocious Animals"

Comment: Wang Shuo's novels are not good from a literary point of view, but after being made into a movie, they are It’s not bad, which can be said to be a major feature of Wang Shuo’s works. Among them, "Animal Fierce" is said to be Wang Shuo's favorite novel, and he even regretted writing it when he was young decades later, because the "premature birth" of "Ferocious" directly led to his "Cruel Youth". abortion".

It can be said that "The Ferocious Animal" is the most difficult work to be adapted into a movie among Wang Shuo's novels, because unlike other works that are full of ridicule, the story is explained in a narrative way. But this did not stump Jiang Wen. After reorganizing the important plot of the original work, he added some detailed descriptions that were not in the original work. Coupled with Xia Yu's outstanding acting skills, although the film was blocked, it is still widely popular among the younger generation. for dissemination.

"The Devil Is Coming" is adapted from You Fengwei's novel "Survival"

Comment: The original novel is highly readable, but the plot design is average, and the final plot is also different from the novel "Survival". "Red Sorghum" is somewhat similar.

However, the script, which was reorganized and adapted by the original author, and directed by Jiang Wen, is completely presented in the form of black humor, which is unexpected and refreshing, making audiences who are used to traditional anti-war movies cheer.

"Alive" is adapted from Yu Hua's novel of the same name

Comment: No need to waste words and ink. My suggestion is, if you haven’t read the novel, you must read it! If you haven’t seen the movie, you must go see it! No matter the novel or the movie, they are all classics among classics! Not to be missed!
