奇幻、冲突和喜剧元素的改编彰显——新近出现的聊斋题材网络电影中的审美症候探讨

Fantasy,Conflict and Comedy:Aesthetic Symptoms in the Recent online Films with the Liaozhai Theme

在大众消费浅思维娱乐风潮的影响下,新近出现的聊斋题材网络电影不断呈现出尚奇重险、追闹逐喜的艺术改编倾向,奇幻、冲突与喜剧成为其招徕接受者的重要审美卖点。瞄向年轻网民审美消费的创编预设、投入成本的限定和文本生产周期的制约,都使得这类改编在演员阵容的选取、影像质量的呈现和内容深度的挖掘上都无法如聊斋大片那样做到淡定从容,常常表现为时尚流行元素与惯常叙事方式的奇特混搭。这种游离于聊斋原著的后现代式的取材改编和肆意渲染既疏远了历史文化传统,又难以深入到现实世界的机理,容易沦落为娱乐工业和网络传播流水线上的精神“快餐”。创编者仍然需要吃透原著,屏蔽浮躁,在尊重传统和个性创新中去摆脱这种网络平台艺术生产与审美传输的困境。

Under the influence of the trend of shallow thinking and entertainment in mass consumption,the newly appeared online films with the Liaozhai theme continue to show the common features of artistic adaptation,such as fantasy,adventure,frolic.Such elements as fantasy,conflict,and comedy are used to catch audiences’ eyes.These kind of movies are aimed at the aesthetic consumption of young netizens,and limited by investment and the text production cycle so that they can’t do as the Liaozhai blockbusters do in the selection of cast,the presentation of image quality and the excavation of theme.It is often manifested in the strange mixture of fashion elements and regular narrative methods.This postmodern adaptation that drifts away from the original not only alienates the historical and cultural tradition,but also is difficult to go deep into the mechanism of the real world.It is easy to turn to be the spiritual“fast food”that is produced on the production line in entertainment industry and network communication.Adaptors still need to understand the original works well and show respect to tradition with personal innovation so as to get rid of the dilemma of art production and aesthetic transmission in the Internet.
