I roughly understand the "plot magic change" statement of the drama version of "Douluo Continent", there are the following two points: one is that there are some inconsistencies after comparing with novels and animations; the other is the suspenseful cross-over drama, crossing this piece is gone, becoming a costume love drama, Xiao Zhan is 30 years old and plays 6-year-old Tang San can not, Yunyun.
The drama version of "Douluo Continent" is gone, but it is still a suspense drama (the special effects fight scene is cool and cool, which is the best live-action drama I have seen so far), not a costume love drama. Since it is not a crossing, Tang San is not very strong at the beginning, but there is a process of changing from weak to strong, which is in line with the development of human feelings and human nature, the drama version is positioned in the self-growth and struggle process of a teenager, when Xiao Tang San appeared, he did not say that he was only 6 years old, but a teenager who combed the ball child flower head, at the end of episode 1, the spring, summer, autumn and winter scenery flash mob, representing the passage of time, the teenager gradually grew, the pill child flower head changed, these details are handled, it is reasonable.
Let's focus on the question of whether the plot is "magically changed". Novels to anime, TV series, movies, all have to be adapted, how can they be staged without changes? Either it is changed well, or it is not changed well, and if it is not changed well, it is called "magic reform", and the key is to see whether the change is reasonable. As for the comparison between the drama version of the plot and the novel and the anime, there is a discrepancy, and it is said that it is "magic reform", which is debatable.
Novels, anime, TV series, movies, are several different artistic carriers, when adapted, you have to use their respective characteristics, play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and say that the plot must be completely consistent, which is an unprofessional view.
The novel appeals to the text, the novelist can lay out several lines in the text, each character and scene is depicted in great detail, and the inner activities and character development of the characters can also be very rich and complex. However, please imagine how long, complicated, and chaotic it would be if every detail in the novel were presented in the film and television drama. For example, in Stendhal's "The Red and the Black", Yu Lian wants to touch his wife's hand, and the psychological activity of that moment is written on many pages, and the film and television drama may be completed in a few seconds and a few close-up shots. From the perspective of time, film and television dramas can flash and intersect through several shots, and more than ten or twenty years have passed; they can also tell the story of only one day in 48 episodes. Of course, the novel can also be a thousand years old. What I want to say is that novels and film and television, in terms of presenting details, characters, plots, time, etc., the way of expression is different, and sometimes, in order to match the details, it is farther away from returning to the original book realistically.
Let's take the example of a master. French director Bresson's film "Lancelot on the Lake", adapted from Tennyson's "The King's Narrative Poem", the original book has many characters, stories, branches are very many, the film only draws out the main line of the knight Lancelot and the queen, King Arthur, intended to highlight the theme of love and honor, power and loyalty, chivalry, Bresson also let Lancelot die, and the original he was alive; "The Diary of a Country Priest" is also adapted from the novel, Bresson stripped away many details of the novel, focusing on the inner reflection of the priest, Explore the question of faith. At that time, Bresson was also scolded as a "magic reform" of the original work, but these two great films realistically conveyed the spirit of the original work and were a kind of reconstruction.
I'm not comparing Bresson to the adaptation of Douluo Continent, which would be cursed. Just to give an example, it shows that the novel is adapted into film and television, and it is impossible to match all of them. In a sense, the adaptation of movies and TV series is a kind of re-creation.
Movies and TV series are also different, although they both use "camera eyes". Movies are generally within 2 hours, the longest is 8 hours, one-time viewing, and in the theater, the audience concentration is high, the characters can present complex personalities, rich inner world, the speed of time operation is also accelerated, the plot sometimes does not have to be complete, relying on the audience brain supplement, the theme concentration is also high.
The number of TV episodes is large, the delay is long, the audience concentration is low, if the character personality is changeable, the previous episode is like that, the next episode has changed, and the audience will think that it is two people. Therefore, the character image of the TV series is often flattened and typical, even if the growth, such as Tang San, there is a slow process, the overall is a fixed persona, such as the seven monsters of Shrek, everyone's personality, martial soul, skill, soul skills, are stable. Tv series pays more attention to the plot, one episode every 45 minutes, there must be a small climax, skirmish, and suspense at the end to attract the audience to watch down the episode. However, if there are too many lines and too many branches of the story, the audience will also be in the clouds, and the main line must be highlighted and the side branches must be removed. Therefore, I personally believe that the drama version of "Douluo Continent" closely focuses on the plot of Tang San's growth, which is in line with the narrative mode of the TV series.
I don't know about anime skills, but I think there are two things that are different from TV series: anime is a painting or computer design, you can use your imagination to create effects, but many actions, props, live-action versions can not do, of course, there is a problem of investment, animation investment is also large, but compared with the real restoration effect of the TV series, better. In addition, animation has a fixed circle audience, and the TV series should consider the aesthetics of the general audience, coupled with investment problems, the problem of broadcasting on the file, the number of TV series episodes generally can not be too long, can not be broadcast in hundreds of episodes, it is impossible to take into account the details of the branches, but to grasp the main line, focus on the characters. The advantage of TV dramas is that live-action performances, only people in the world are the most vivid and energetic, and they are also the most likely to move people's hearts.
Back to the plot of the drama version of Douluo Continent. I haven't seen novels and anime, and I can't compare the details one by one. However, as a general TV drama audience, according to the principles of several TV dramas I said above, the drama version of "Douluo Continent" revolves around the growth and self-improvement of young Tang San, the process of changing from weak to strong, and improving oneself, and the main line is clear. As far as the 11 episodes I have seen so far are concerned: the overall concept is very good and educational; the order of the characters is rhythmic, and the characters are clear; and each episode is more than 40 minutes, which can not only rhythmically promote the plot, create dramatic conflicts, produce small climaxes, but also set suspense at the end of each episode, firmly grasping the audience's desire to watch; the plot dialogue is concise and reasonable; plus all the actors who appear online, at least not embarrassing, especially the special effects are excellent, and the combination of live-action fighting and special effects is good (some small flaws, But the flaws are not hidden). Overall, for now, the drama version of Douluo Continent is produced by conscience.
