陕西长篇小说难于结缘影视剧的原因分析——兼谈司南长篇小说《民国银号》所具备的电视剧创作因素

Obstacle in Shaanxi Novel Adapted to the Stage:Taking Old-style Private Bank in Republic of China as example

陕西号称文学大省,长篇小说创作曾出现过极度繁荣的景象。近30多年来长篇小说的创作出版量堪称丰富,在读者界、批评界产生较为广泛影响的作品也有一些。遗憾的是,陕西长篇小说走向电影和电视剧的作品却屈指可数。影视剧的商业属性和国家相关政策特殊规定,要求长篇小说从主题、人物和情节必须具备符合改编影视剧的基本要素。陕西长篇小说与影视剧创作难于结缘的最主要原因,就是创作者普遍缺乏发现挖掘一个具有影视商业价值同时有深刻主题的能力,在人物创造与整体结构方面也普遍存在松散问题。司南创作的长篇小说《民国银号》以独特罕见的视角为读者完整打开了清末至建国前民间金融家生存发展的这样一个世界,人物命运紧贴复杂动荡的政治时局而变迁沉浮,明显具备改编为一部优秀电视剧的要素。

Shaanxi is known as a cradle of literature for novels writing prosperity. Amount of creative novels has been published in 30 years,producing a widespread influence in circles of critics and readers. Unfortunately,only a handful of them were adapted to the stage. Special commercial property and policy of TV drama requires the novel from the themes,characters and plot must be adapted in line with the basic elements of film and TV. The most important reason for adapting obstacle is that the creators generally lack of ability to dig deeply topics. Old-style Private Bank in Republic of China by Sinan,opened a world of the existence and development of private financiers in the late Qing Dynasty with a unique perspective. The political fate of the characters closed to the turbulent and complex political situation. It obviously could be adapted to an excellent drama.
