《风声》:基于“文本细读”理论对小说和电影的质疑——兼论“消费文化”语境中《风声》的媚俗创作

On Queries about the Novel and the Film The Message in the Theory of Close Reading——Also on the Kitschy Creation of The Messagein the Context of Consumer Culture

无论是作为电影还是小说,《风声》都是当下一个热门的话题,本文从"文本细读"的角度,质疑了小说和电影的逻辑情节的缺失。对于推理类型的作品而言,不仅要智慧的设置悬念,更要巧妙的揭示悬念,做到环环相扣,情节逻辑的严密至关重要,小说文本和电影文本的《风声》在这方面都不够完善,都没有给受众一个令人信服、逻辑清晰的故事;不无瑕疵的小说和电影却获得大众欢迎,小说高居图书榜首,电影获得票房收入,其原因恰恰在于《风声》的媚俗创作迎合了当今"消费文化"的潮流,进而获得商业上的共赢.而这种共赢,对艺术发展而言,到底意味着什么,这应该引起所有人的思考.

Whether as a movie or a novel, The Message is a hot topic for the moment. The essay raises some queries about the logic plot of the two versions, believing that there are some deficiencies in the plot from the angle of close reading. For the reasoning works, it should not only set up the suspense wisely, but also reveal the suspense subtly. Besides, most critically, the plot should be interlocked so that a tight logic plot can be achieved. In contrast, the text of the two versions is not perfect in this aspect, not giving the reader and the audience a compelling, logically clear story. Surprisingly, these two not flawless versions are quite popular. The novel tops the list, while the film is a hit in the box office. The reason lies precisely in the fact that the kitschy creation caters to the trend of consumer culture, thereby generating a win-win business. As far as the development of the arts is concemed, what on earth this win-win business means should arouse everyone＇ s contemplation.
