《春蚕》与左翼电影人的意识形态宣传策略

The Spring Silkworm and the Left-wing Filmmakers' Ideology Propaganda Strategy

从电影生产的角度看,《春蚕》与电影人的左翼意识形态宣传策略之间存在着隐秘而深刻的联系。影片以同名左翼小说《春蚕》为改编对象,其题材与当时的社会背景相照应,且作者茅盾因《子夜》的出版备受认可,加上导演程步高实地考察养蚕过程,增强了电影的科学性和可观性,这都在一定程度上促进了票房数量,从而扩大了宣传范围。在小说到电影的改编过程中,夏衍有意地增强了革命话语色彩,以达到宣传左翼思想的目的。此外,左翼电影人还建立起电影的批评阵地,与刘呐鸥等人进行"软硬电影"笔战,更加扩大了《春蚕》的政治影响。

From the perspective of film production,there is a hidden and deep connection between Spring Silkworm and the left-wing filmmakers’ideological propaganda strategy.The film is based on the left-wing novel of the same name.The novel Spring Silkworm’s theme reflected the social background.And the author,Mao Dun,had become renowned because of Midnight and other publications.To enhance the film science and attraction,Cheng Bugao,the director,closely observed the sericulture process in the field in person.Both factors promoted the box office and then broaden the publicity.In the process of film adaptation,Xia Yan intentionally enhanced the color of revolutionary discourse,which reached the goal of propagating the left-wing thought and educating the people;more importantly,the left-wing filmmakers strive to establish the critical position of the film in large newspapers and magazines.Liu Naou and others critics’discussions on“soft or hard movie”further expanded the film’s political influence.
