In today's domestic entertainment film and television industry, a force originating from the online world is rising, that is, "online text". This seemingly unpromising existence, but it has emerged in the field of mainland film and television dramas and has become a well-deserved pillar. This article will take you to review the origin of online texts, reveal their far-reaching influence on film and television dramas, as well as a number of unique online adaptations such as Gong Dou, Xianxia, and Traveling.
The Origin of the Universe in the Web Article:
In the era when the Internet was not yet widespread, BBS was the mainstream way to surf the web. At that time, the speed of the Internet limited the means of communication, making text-based communication the only option. In this context, non-profit literary forums such as "Jin Yong Teahouse" have gradually emerged. Subsequently, literary BBS such as Under the Banyan Tree and Red Sleeves Fragrance rose, and such as Starting Point, Jinjiang, Dragon's Sky, and Phantom Sword Book League also began to launch works in batches, laying the foundation for the later film and television drama big IP.
However, the early online articles did not attract widespread attention, because many authors mainly involved fandom or second creation, resulting in very few works that are really out of the circle. It wasn't until Jinjiang author Kui I Sicun's "Too Late to Say I Love You" was adapted into a film and television drama in 2010 that the online adaptation gradually became prosperous. This work not only brings the audience a touching story between a domineering warlord and a rich lady, but also becomes a highlight in the domestic entertainment film and television industry.
The rise of online adaptations:
After 2011, online adaptations began to dominate the Chinese film and television industry. Their rise has not only filled the void of a shortage of screenwriters, but has also greatly improved the production efficiency of the series. The audience can witness the popularity of a type of drama in a short period of time, although this has also led to an increase in bad dramas. This change makes 80% of the episodes the product of online adaptations.
Different types of online text adaptations:
Palace fighting drama. Gong dou dramas have always been very popular, such as the hit of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". It not only won the love of the audience, but also achieved great success in the costume drama market by revising the original setting to make the plot more suitable for the ending of the characters. However, the palace fight drama is also facing the dilemma of depicting the background of the feudal era, which makes the core of the story gradually biased towards the aspirations of the feudal upper class.
Xianxia drama.
As a theme that spans female and male frequency, Xianxia drama was first adapted from games. However, with the outbreak of ancient puppets, Xianxia dramas have become the preferred theme for online adaptations. Works such as "Flower Thousand Bone" successfully portrayed the heroine into an image with elements such as Xianxia Bai Moonlight, which attracted a large audience.
Time-traveling drama.
Time-traveling dramas have existed as early as the period of "Love Through Time and Space" and "Xun Qin", but its resurgence is due to online adaptations. "Step by Step" successfully created a completely new character by tracing back to the historical results, and it was a huge success with the audience. The time-traveling drama has a variety of elements such as sadism and sweetness, which makes the audience have more choices.
Conclusion:
Driven by the adaptation of online dramas, the domestic entertainment film and television industry is experiencing a revolution. However, different types of dramas have also exposed some problems, such as the great regression of the idea of palace fighting dramas, the lack of chivalrous plots in Xianxia dramas while pursuing high audience standards, and some low-level interests in the creation of time-traveling dramas. In the future, with the exploration of the direction of science fiction, there may be more breakthroughs in online adaptations. Looking forward to seeing more wonderful works in this field full of possibilities.
