向传统回归的叙事——张扬电影论

Narrative Mode: Return to the Tradition --An Analysis of Zhang Yang′s Films

张扬是"新生代"导演的代表者之一,其作品多为小制作,高票房回报,为国产电影的生存提供了一种商业选择,一种有希望的运作模式。本文从"叙事分析"入手,兼以电影文化学、市场学对文本的查验,分析张扬电影商业成功背后的叙事模式。至目前为止,张扬的电影可分为两期,初期作品采取"分段叙事",在对本土渊源及外来影响的借鉴中开辟新的商业电影之路;发展期,他重寻在中国历史悠久的"家庭伦理片"传统,试图以传统来包容现代,虽有创新,但文本之中存在裂隙,反而暴露了一些不可调和的因素。

Zhang Yang is one of China′s New Generation directors. Most of his films are based on a 'small bugethigh profit' mode, a new model to China′s decreasing film market. By using the methods both culture criticism and business studies, I start this thesis from narration, and analyze the narrative mode behind Zhang Yang′s business success in the box office. We can separate Zhang Yang′s productions into two periods. During his earlier period, he used 'sectional narration', and tried to find a new commercial way to make films, by referencing the local tradition and the impact from outside; During his developing period, he tried to recall the 'family ethics movies' tradition, which has a long history in China′s film industry. He tried to cover modern impact with traditional causes. Although we can find innovation in this period, the gaps between the texts discovered some irreconcilable factors.
