Special feature of 1905 film network Finally, I directed the drama series and exposed the second preview. More than that, all the participants appeared.
In the preview, Jin Yucheng, the original author, made a surprise appearance, and even brought out the first sentence at the beginning of the novel, "It is best to go to a tall building alone at night".Various actors appeared one after another, and Wu Nong brought people back to Shanghai in 1992 under the soft atmosphere.
It’s just that the series is still being filmed, and the official has not disclosed more information about the movie version promised by Wong Kar-wai. Just for many fans, I hope to visualize the novel Blossoms Shanghai as soon as possible.
Although the development progress of films and dramas is slow, Blossoms Shanghai’s stage plays have already toured for many rounds, and they are performed in pure Shanghai dialect, so that many viewers can get into that story in seconds.
Nowadays, while an IP is being filmed, it also takes into account stage creation.If Blossoms Shanghai’s film and television and stage are the creations of two companies, then the recent online drama.Records of Mysteries in the Tang DynastyIt will soon be extended to the stage by the producers behind it, and the musical Datura of the Tang Dynasty will be staged.
Nowadays, more and more IP have started stage creation after film and television. In an interview recently, it was revealed that the stage play rehearsal is currently underway.What is the connection between the two-way complementarity of film and television and the stage?
More than "Records of Mysteries in Tang Dynasty"
From the current point of view, "Tang Dynasty Mysteries Record" is brewing a "Tang Dynasty Mystery Universe". According to the interviews of the screenwriter and director, there were 9 cases originally planned for the first season of "Tang Dynasty Mysteries Record", but in the end, "hell change" has not yet appeared. So far, this story is the second case in the second season.
In the concept of "Tang mysterious universe", the story happened in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, spanning from the late Wu Zetian to the late Tianbao. All kinds of stories are presented through different artistic forms. At present, apart from the drama series "Tang Dynasty Mysteries", there are also derivative short plays "Su Wuming from Datang" and musical "Datura of Tang Dynasty Mysteries".
When the series was broadcast hot, the musical was officially announced and its first performance was held on November 11th. Compared with many other stage works adapted from film and television works in the past, the cycle seems to be much faster. But in fact, musicals have been promoted since the creation of "Tang Mysterious Universe".
It is understood that the musical Datura of the Tang Dynasty was originally planned to be staged in April this year, but as the series went online, the performance time was pushed back and forth in order to cooperate with each other.
The story of the musical continues the world view of the series, but the story is independent. It is understood that the story tells the story of a case that happened ten years ago, and continues to the story of revenge in the inn ten years later. Among the ten characters, except the protagonists Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng, the other eight people have their own ghosts.
Musical creation and drama are the same company, but it is not finished by drama writer Wei Fenghua. Whether the musical can continue the high reputation of the series of 7.8 points still needs to wait until the official performance to know.
Ma Da, the director of the musical Datura of the Tang Dynasty, is the creator of the musical Eternal Life of the Soul Ferry, a derivative of the online drama IP Ferry.
It can be seen from the audience’s feedback on the stage of "The Immortality of the Soul Ferry" that the thin plot is the key to being criticized. However, the creative team also revealed in the interview that compared with the creation of film and television works, time and space can be continuously developed through multi-line development, but the stage creation is inevitably affected by time and space in plot design, and there will be a relatively thin possibility.
In addition to the above-mentioned cross-media creation of two IPS, there are not a few such forms of creation recently.In the past two years, The Awakeing Age and Minning Town, which have attracted much attention, have met the audience again in the form of stage creation.
Minning Town chose to present it in the form of national opera, and the adaptation process was not easy.It is difficult for drama series to conform to the expression of stage art in terms of drama conflict. Especially in creation, "water", "electricity" and "planting"mushroom"Three events are the core ideas of drama, but the performance of the stage will inevitably weaken the corresponding dramatic expression.
Opera Minning Town almost gave up the expression of the plot of "water use" and used the advantages of the stage to mix the plots. At the same time, the characters have been abandoned to some extent, and the expression of more group images in the drama is concentrated on Debao and Mai Miao.
The Awakeing Age, a stage play, is based on a TV series of the same name, but it is not just a condensed version of the series.
It is reported that The Awakeing Age combined the real historical background with the works and biographies of historical figures to simplify the characters.After all, there is room for 30 episodes or even 40 episodes, but for stage plays, the duration is usually about 3 hours, so it is difficult to cover all the contents.
It is normal to adapt film and television dramas.
The case of film and television drama adaptation of drama is not just recent.
In 2013, the director of the TV series "Da Zhai Men" moved from a small screen to a big stage, taking "Bai Jingqi and his three women" as the main story, and reduced the TV series to a three-hour drama. Besides, Legend of Wulin, Hidden, Let Bullets Fly, Soldiers Assault, etc. have all become classic plays.
Undeniably, compared with the original plays of "star" drama directors, many dramas still have certain barriers in market appeal. The adaptation of these film and television works by drama itself has provided the first wave of appeal for these stage works.
This kind of "interaction" is not just a bottoming out of the drama market, but an expansion. The expansion of IP can also attract audiences who have feelings for film and television works, and feel the charm of the story through different forms of carriers.
However, this adaptation is by no means a pure "takenism", but also a constant polishing on the stage, in order to truly stand on the classics.
The drama "Legend of Wulin" toured the whole country, not only in the main audience cities such as Beishangguang, but also in other second-and third-tier cities. Even this IP blessing with a high degree of nationality, the attendance rate in many cities is still not optimistic.
In addition to this adaptation, with the expansion of pan-entertainment creation, the concept of "film and television universe" has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and there have also been many series of creations such as Datura recorded in the Tang Dynasty and Eternal Life of the Soul Ferry. These stories maintain independent expression, and at the same time strengthen the exploration of the depth and breadth of the entire IP universe.
Two-way trip to film and television and stage
With the increasing investment of consumers in entertainment in recent years, more and more drama brands are out of business, especially "Mahua FunAge". Their appearance has realized the further "two-way rush" of drama and film and television works.
In the past, people often saw movies adapted from dramas, such as Thunderstorm, which was created.
In recent years, this kind of adaptation has become more and more rampant in film creation. Apart from the works such as "Mahua FunAge", the creative inspiration of the first two films comes from stage art without exception.
Besides, The Life and Survival of Gorgeous Office Workers, starring directors, screenwriters, and others, was staged in Hongkong, China in 2008. After Zhang Aijia performed for one and a half years, he felt the rhythm of this work, which is very suitable to appear as a musical film.
So, she found the director, and personally manipulated the script, co-starred with others, and created a film. Zhang Aijia once admitted in an interview that the original stage play was three hours, with 13 characters, and the length of the film must be shortened, and the main characters should be reduced, and the cass is also different. As a result, she almost re-created the script.
In addition to the film, the TV series has already been filmed, but it has not been broadcast.
Just for the current creation, the interaction between the two is two-way, but it is undeniable that the problem of media carrier makes the creation need to be more "tailored to the content". After all, no matter which creation comes first, the latter is not simply copying and pasting, and more importantly, it highlights its essence.
In the eyes of the audience, whether it is stage works or film and television works, more media carriers can well expand the public’s life and entertainment, and at the same time have a deeper understanding of the works.
