How to treat the act of tampering with history in film and television works?
The spoof is called bad humor. It originated from the Japanese game industry, and refers to the technology of creating a funny and ironic effect through the second creation of a theme, which belongs to a subculture. And then spread to China through the Internet. With the continuous development of the Internet, spoof culture has become a popular culture welcomed by young people. In film and television works, spoof elements are also common. In recent years, the appearance of spoof elements in some historical film and television works has been controversial. This paper will comprehensively analyze the spoof factors in the historical adaptation of film and television works from three aspects: reasons, influences and how to deal with them. First, the reasons for the appearance of spoof elements 1. In order to meet the needs of the creation of film and television works, the film and television works themselves have entertainment attributes, and the addition of spoof elements can increase the drama and conflict of the works, thus enriching the contents of the works. For some works adapted from history, many historical events have happened for a long time, or the events themselves are relatively simple, and too real and straightforward performance will reduce the attractiveness of the works. Adding appropriate spoof elements and popularizing serious history can create a relaxed and interesting atmosphere and enhance the viewer's sense of substitution. 2. The interaction between the impetuous psychology of cultural audience and the commercialization of cultural industry. The rapid development of information technology makes the information content accessible to people increase exponentially, which also leads to the emergence of people's impetuous psychology: short, humorous and easy-to-understand works are more easily accepted by the public than long, serious and profound contents. On the other hand, the commercialization of cultural industry makes creators pay more attention to the later benefits brought by their works. In order to stand out from a large number of similar works, making gimmicks to attract attention has become the choice of most creators. Adding spoof elements can not only attract more audiences, but also be a relatively simple and effective means for creators. Second, the influence of spoof elements 1. It plays a positive role in understanding the history of the audience. After the audience is attracted by the content of the film and television works, it is very likely that they will further understand the historical background and related events of the story. Take this year's hit TV series The Story of Yan Xi Palace as an example. The story is based on the intrigue between the harem in Qianlong era, and many modern adaptations such as overhead and comedy have been added on the basis of history. In addition to paying attention to the plot of the TV series itself, the audience is more interested in understanding the historical events related to the plot. As the story happened in the Forbidden City, there was more publicity, such as "The Story of the Tourist Route of Yan Xi Palace". It can be seen that the adapted film and television works can be used as an opportunity to urge everyone to understand the real history. 2. Misleading the audience by distorting history is undeniable. Due to the limitation of the creator's adaptation ability, or deliberately creating gimmicks to cater to the audience, the addition of spoof elements can easily distort history and form wrong values, thus misleading the audience. For example, in recent years, the controversial anti-Japanese drama, in order to let the audience "see it cool", the plot is completely divorced from reality and violates historical facts. This infinite exaggeration and banter may temporarily satisfy the audience's eyes, but the wrong values conveyed in the works have an irreversible impact on the audience. Third, how to correctly handle the spoof elements in the adaptation of film and television history? 1, not all cultures should be "serious"-agree with the rationality of spoof elements. As a kind of culture, the ultimate goal of film and television drama is to serve the audience. Culture itself does not necessarily need profound educational significance, but can also exist as a form of entertainment. At the moment when life is stressful and fast-paced, spoof works provide a channel for the audience to vent their pressure and help improve their mood. Therefore, as long as the spoof works do not violate the mainstream values and grasp the bottom line, its existence is reasonable. 2. Improve the impetuous style of the cultural industry-creators should grasp the "bottom line" of spoofing, excessively pursue commercial effects, and create gimmicks, resulting in most of the spoof elements in film and television works being vulgar and shallow. This is also the main reason why the spoof techniques in historical film and television dramas have been criticized. Content is the most fundamental factor to measure the quality of a work. The government and society should vigorously encourage cultural creation, so that creators should pay more attention to the connotation and value of the work itself besides considering commercialization, form a "content-oriented" creative environment, and reverse the impetuous atmosphere of the cultural industry. When "spoof" only exists as an expression, rather than simply pleasing the audience, it will become a reasonable art form. 3. Strengthen the education of historical views and values-cultural audiences should have corresponding judgment and appreciation. In addition to improving the quality of works from the perspective of creators, cultural audiences should also have certain judgment and appreciation. On the one hand, the cultural audience should have the ability to distinguish between good and bad works, even if the values conveyed by the works are inconsistent with the mainstream values, they can make judgments without being influenced by them. On the other hand, cultural audiences need to have certain cultural literacy. Besides pursuing pop culture and fast food culture, they should also have the ability to appreciate serious culture. The improvement of cultural audience's ability will eventually promote the improvement of the whole cultural creation environment. Source: NMET 20 19 0 1
