Poster of "Donkey’s Water"

Special feature of 1905 film network Mahua FunAge’s second film, The Water of the Donkey, was released last Friday. This low-cost film, which has no big director, no stars and no special effects, has actually held the first place in the box office, and has been well received. Some people even call it the best domestic feature film this year.

　

After "Charlotte" and "Donkey’s Water", there will definitely be more and more film and television companies aiming at drama adaptation of this IP pond. A few days ago, Rao Xiaozhi’s "Hello, Crazy" just held a final release conference in Peking University Centennial Lecture Hall; Ying Huang’s "French Dinner for Two" also appeared in the project announcement of the Film Bureau in early October, which is likely to become the third film produced by Mahua FunAge; Earlier, it was reported that the drama "Treasure Island Village" co-produced by Lai Shengchuan and Wang Weizhong will also be made into a movie.

Lai Shengchuan, known as the "leader of Asian theater directors", and Wang Weizhong, the "father of Taiwan Province variety", collaborated on "Treasure Island Village"

In the face of a new wave of drama adaptation, we interviewed Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, two directors of "The Water of the Donkey", and Mr. Zhang Chiyu, the screenwriter of Mahua FunAge’s drama "The Iron Fist of Shame" and "The Story of a Prison Friend", to talk about the advantages and sufferings of drama adaptation.

　

Drama and movies have become the most familiar strangers.

Both drama and film are diachronic arts, both lasting about two hours, and the process of adaptation is basically 1:1 presentation. Commercial films are generally arranged in four stages: beginning, turning point, crisis and ending. The most classic drama is also a four-act play, so the rhythm of the two is very similar, and it is easier to realize transformation. From this point of view, it is less difficult to adapt a drama into a film than a literary adaptation, or even less difficult to film a TV series and an online drama.

　

The performance systems of the two schools are the same, and they are divided into two schools: one is the Experiential School of stanislavski in the former Soviet Union, and the other is expressionism in Brecht. The French New Wave movies, represented by Ge Daer, like to break the fourth wall and let the actors perform in front of the camera, which comes from Brecht’s expressionism. Therefore, it is easier to adapt drama to film at the performance level.

　

Director and screenwriter Zhang Chiyu of Mahua FunAge

Dramatic works have experienced the tempering of the stage. Zhang Chiyu concluded that Mahua FunAge’s core creative mode is collective creation and rehearsal audition. This is actually the mode adopted by most drama groups. At the beginning of a work, the director puts forward the general idea, and then all the actors work together to improve it and create collectively. After the script comes out, it has to be rehearsed, revised while arranging, and further improved through internal audition. Zhang Chiyu believes that the rehearsal plays a very important role in promoting the script. "If a book was originally only four points, it can reach at least six points after rehearsal." After a long stage performance, the script is improved day by day according to the feedback from the audience. In this way, the works tested by the audience are put on the big screen, and the success rate is higher.

The adaptation of a drama into a film has to go over more than one hill.

Although there is a natural affinity between drama and film, which makes it easy to transform them, they are two completely different art forms after all, and they will encounter many problems and difficulties in the process of remake.

　

Some drama themes are not suitable for adaptation into movies. For example, the earliest film project planned by Mahua FunAge is actually not Charlotte, but Earl of Wulong Mountain. However, this drama does not quite conform to the structure of genre films, and the content involved is sensitive and easy to fail the review. For example, the heroine is a transgender, the first half is a man, and the second half is a woman, which is not suitable for adaptation into a movie.

　

The influence of Earl of Wulongshan once spread to CCTV.

Drama emphasizes hypothesis, while film emphasizes realism. As Zhou Shen said, "Some things are true on the stage of drama, but they are not true in front of the camera of the film." Therefore, the stage is more inclusive, and the exaggerated burden and crazy creativity will not make people question. For example, in "Shameless Iron Fist", the heroine played by Mary came out of the toilet, which the audience might not accept in the movie. Therefore, in the second half of the film, some crazy plots were deleted to make it closer to reality. Therefore, hypothesis is often the primary problem to be overcome in the process of adapting drama into film.

　

Movies adapted from drama are often weak in lens and editing, and the "film sense" is not very strong. There are similar problems in "Charlotte" and "Donkey Water", which rely too much on fixed shots and scene scheduling, and are immature in the use of shots and clips, and only stay at the narrative level. All this needs to be overcome by the director’s accumulation of shooting experience and long-term exploration.

Facts have proved that from drama to film adaptation, love and hate are in an instant.

1. The Water of the Donkey (2016)

Zhou Shen and Liu Lu graduated from Chinese opera directing, and their major dramas include If I’m Not Me, Water from the Donkey, Biography of Van Gogh and so on. The water of the donkey was originally a movie outline created by them in 2010. Because of infringement, Zhou Shen and Liu Lu arranged the water of the donkey into a drama in order to make it meet the audience faster. Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit in the commercial drama circle, gained a good reputation and box office, and was staged in Chaoyang 9 Theater for five consecutive years.

　

Director and screenwriter Zhou Shen and Liu Lu of the film "The Water of the Donkey"

Zhou Shen and Liu Lu never gave up the idea of making "The Water of the Donkey" into a movie. They took the script to many film companies, but they didn’t make it because of their insistence on their works, and the most serious one almost went to court. Finally, I chose to cooperate with Mahua FunAge because Mahua is very tolerant in creation and has a high tolerance for creators. However, compared with the IP of Mahua, the film is too cold and has no popular commercial elements at present. Therefore, although Mahua has great confidence in it, it does not have high box office expectations, and it is not expected to achieve the box office results of goodbye mr. loser.

　

The film adaptation of "The Water of the Donkey" should be regarded as relatively successful. The second half of the drama is a little long, and the whole stage is almost out of control, getting crazier and darker, which makes the audience breathless. These problems have been solved in the film, and the media transformation of the original drama actors has been completed well, although the photography and editing of the film need to be strengthened.

2. goodbye mr. loser (2015)

Mahua FunAge was founded in 2003, and his first work is "I’ll give you a twist if I want to eat", starring He Jiong and Nana. Until the Earl of Wulong Mountain in 2011, Mahua gradually formed its own comedy style and brand. At the end of each year, Mahua will launch a New Year’s comedy, and their works are between traditional drama and movies: they don’t follow the classic "three unifications", and they frequently hide behind the scenes and change scenes, which is somewhat similar to the transitions and editing of movies. This makes their works more suitable for film adaptation.

　

Goodbye mr. loser directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo.

Yan Fei and Peng Damo first wrote "Charlotte" just to make a movie. Unexpectedly, it has become the most successful drama of Mahua, which has reached the 33rd round in Beijing and has also toured many cities in China. Although the film version of "Charlotte" rose suddenly and won a great victory last year, its shortcomings are also very obvious. Most people who have seen the drama think that the film version is not as good as the drama version. The main reason is that the film has simplified many details, which makes the plot in the second half of the film not coherent enough and looks a bit like a sketch.

　

3. Gorgeous Office Workers (2015)

The Gorgeous Office Worker, which was released last year, was adapted from Lin Yihua’s musical Life and Survival of Gorgeous Office Workers. Lin Yihua is the most famous drama director in Hongkong, and his main work is the adaptation of Four Great Classical Novels. The film version is directed by Du Qifeng, starring Zhang Aijia, Chow Yun Fat, Eason Chan, Tang Wei, etc. Zhang Shuping contributed gorgeous dance beauty and costumes, while Tayu Lo was responsible for original music. However, the luxurious lineup and hundreds of millions of investments only brought in less than 50 million box office.

　

The main reason is that the film fails to deal with the relationship between the assumption of the stage and the realism of the film. "Workplace", which is very realistic and suitable for adaptation into a movie theme, has been turned into a staged musical by the director, with symbolic characters, ritualized songs and dances, and conceptual scenes, and there is no real scene at all. All of them are filmed in the shed, and with the performances of actors sometimes dubbing and sometimes lip-synching, it is really difficult for people to have a sense of substitution, and they can simply dance in minutes.

4. Twelve Citizens (2015)

There were many versions of Twelve Citizens before, including film version and drama version, and now the Shanghai Drama Art Center is still putting on a stage version of Twelve People. Xu Ang, the director of Twelve Citizens, is the drama director of People’s Art Theatre, and his masterpiece is The Sorrow of Comedy starring Chen Daoming and He Bing. This film also absorbs the old drama bones of a number of drama stages, such as He Bing, Han Tongsheng and Qian Bo, who are all excellent drama actors.

　

The story "Twelve Citizens" is actually very suitable for the drama stage, because it is extremely complex with "three unifications" and the time, place and plot are highly unified. Tell the story of twelve jurors discussing the case in a room for two hours. Therefore, it is very difficult to adapt this story into a movie, and the fixed scenes and characters are easy to make movie audiences tired. But the completion of the film is still very good. First of all, it completes the localization of the script well, which makes the story neutral in the contemporary social background of China. Secondly, the director took advantage of photography to highlight some details, such as the band-aid on He Bing’s head, the sweat behind Gao Dongping, and so on, which made enough intriguing foreshadowing.

　

5. (2014) (2015)

　

Both films directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei are adapted from the drama of the same name by Bai Mei Studio. Deng Chao met Yu Baimei through his senior graduation work "Cui Hua, Pickled Sauerkraut". Later, the two became good friends, and they also engaged in drama together. Now public opinion generally believes that the two films they directed are 100% rotten films.

　

In fact, these two works are typical farce on the stage of drama, but this does not prevent them from being loved by the audience. Although the style is not high, they are vivid and funny. Because the stage of drama is more inclusive, their exaggerated jokes are easily accepted by the audience. However, it was different after being put on the movie screen, and their exaggeration was further expanded, which eventually led to the disgust of the audience.

　

In a word, although drama is rich in IP resources, there are many convenient conditions for drama adaptation of movies. However, the transformation from one art form to another is not simply copying and pasting. It is necessary to dig deep into the core and spiritual connotation of the story according to the characteristics of different media and break the boundaries of different art forms. Only in this way can we create a well-known work, and we hope that the works adapted from drama to film will get better and better.

Conference site

CCTV News:The Ministry of Education held a press conference today (20th) to disclose the details of the reform of the enrollment system for the senior high school entrance examination. According to the "Guiding Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform of the Examination Enrollment System in Senior High Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education recently, it is necessary to further promote the reform of the examination enrollment system in senior high schools (referred to as the reform of the senior high school entrance examination).

What is the reform of the senior high school entrance examination?

The goal of this reform is to gradually establish a high school enrollment model of "junior high school academic level test scores+comprehensive quality evaluation". It is important to change the current practice of simply adding up the scores of some subjects as the only basis for admission in senior high school enrollment, and overcome the score theory.

First, promote the junior high school level examination. In the future, junior high school graduation and senior high school entrance examination will be combined into junior high school academic level examination, so as to realize "multi-purpose in one examination" and reduce the burden of students preparing for exams many times.

●Change the composition of examination subjects

Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages are the basic subjects, and they are unified as admission scoring subjects. Incorporate physical education into the admission scoring subjects, scientifically determine the test scores or other requirements, and guide students to strengthen physical exercise. At the same time, according to the principle of giving consideration to both arts and sciences and moderate burden, the pilot areas will determine other subjects to be included in the "admission scoring subjects" to prevent group partiality. The subjects set in the national curriculum plan are all included in the scope of the academic level examination, but it is not required to include all subjects in the enrollment scoring subjects, so as not to increase the burden on students.

This reform also puts forward that students can be given the right to choose and develop their advantages and specialties on the premise that each course is qualified. Therefore, students will be able to choose other "admission scoring subjects" except Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages and physical education in the academic level examination. However, we can’t just choose liberal arts subjects, and we can’t just choose science subjects. We should give consideration to both arts and sciences. Subjects that have no choice should not only be "studied" and "tested", but also be "qualified".

●Change the content of the exam

Reduce the content of simple memory and mechanical training, focus on examining students’ ability to analyze and solve problems, and enhance students’ innovative spirit and ability.

●Change performance expression

It can be presented in various forms, such as scores and grades. It reiterates the requirement of encouraging qualified areas to implement "grades" to avoid students’ competing for points and excessive competition.

Second, improve students’ comprehensive quality evaluation. The reform clearly requires the pilot areas to take the comprehensive quality evaluation as the basis or reference for high school enrollment, so that the "comprehensive quality evaluation", which used to be in a subordinate and reference position, becomes the protagonist and really plays a role in high school enrollment. As for the evaluation content, it is required to refine and improve the evaluation content and requirements in five aspects: ideological and moral character, academic level, physical and mental health, artistic accomplishment and social practice. The evaluation focuses on reflecting students’ all-round development and personality traits, and paying attention to examining students’ daily behavior norms and outstanding performance. In the evaluation procedure, it is emphasized to make realistic records, publicize and review the factual materials used for enrollment, and establish comprehensive quality evaluation files. In the use of results, whoever uses and evaluates the results should be implemented, and senior high schools should formulate specific use methods according to the school-running characteristics, so that comprehensive quality evaluation can really play a role in enrollment and crack the score-only.

Weifang, Shandong (treating the comprehensive quality evaluation results as a combination with Chinese, mathematics and other subjects), Jiaxing, Zhejiang (converting the comprehensive quality evaluation results into corresponding scores and counting them in the total score, with a perfect score of 20 points), Changsha, Hunan (screening according to the order of academic performance, comprehensive quality evaluation results, policy bonus points and foreign language scores) and other places, although the specific methods are different, they have been included in the enrollment system.

Third, reform the enrollment methods.Significantly reduce and strictly control bonus items. Cancellation of sports, art and other competition bonus items, related specialties and performances are included in the students’ comprehensive quality evaluation files, which will be used as a reference when enrolling students. Further improve the independent enrollment policy, give qualified high school a certain number of independent enrollment places, recruit students with academic expertise and innovative potential, and encourage the development of students’ interests.

When will the reform of senior high school entrance examination begin?

Because the junior high school level examination is generally organized and implemented by the local cities, it is required that the local cities formulate a scientific and standardized comprehensive quality evaluation system, formulate a specific implementation plan for the senior high school entrance examination reform and report it to the provincial education administrative department for the record. The provincial education administrative department shall formulate unified requirements for junior high school academic level examination and comprehensive quality evaluation; Select qualified cities to further expand the comprehensive reform pilot, formulate the implementation opinions of the senior high school entrance examination reform, and report them to the Ministry of Education for the record before the end of August 2017.

The comprehensive reform pilot has been implemented since the first-year junior high school students who entered the school after 2017. The current junior high school students and non-pilot cities still implement the original examination enrollment method unchanged. By the year 2020, a model of high school entrance examination based on academic achievement and comprehensive quality evaluation will be initially formed. (CCTV reporter Zhou Peipei)

　　Fourth, the real estate development boom index

　　In September, the real estate development boom index (referred to as "national housing boom index") was 93.44.

　　According to Xinhua News Agency, Canberra (Reporter Zhang Jianhua), some people joked that "love is blind". Australian researchers try to find out by scientific means. Their research found that when a person falls in love, the related brain reaction will make people put the lover at the center of their life.

　　Researchers from Australian National University and other institutions recently published a paper in the journal Behavioral Science, exploring the connection between the behavioral activation system of human brain and romantic love.

　　The researchers surveyed 1,556 young people who were in love. The survey questions mainly focused on their emotional reactions to their partners and related behaviors, as well as their attention to their lovers. It turns out that when a person is in love, his brain will make an unusual reaction and put the lover at the center of life.

　　Researchers say that researchers know the role of oxytocin in love, that is, when someone communicates with their lover, oxytocin circulates in their nervous system and blood. Oxytocin, known as "love hormone", is a neurohormone secreted by hypothalamus, which can be secreted by both men and women.

　　The researchers further explained that the reason why lovers become particularly important is because of the combination of oxytocin and dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter secreted by the brain, which is responsible for transmitting feelings of excitement and happiness. Therefore, it can be said that love activates the pathways related to positive emotions in the brain.

　　The Department of Natural Resources and Planning of Hainan Province and the Meteorological Bureau of Hainan Province jointly issued the meteorological risk warning of geological disasters at 10: 00 on October 22, 2023: According to the previous rainfall situation of Hainan Meteorological Observatory and the rainfall forecast for the next 24 hours, it is estimated that in the next 24 hours (from 12:00 on October 22, 2023 to 12: 00 on October 23, 2023), the whole territory of qionghai city will be in Longgun Town, Sangerluo Town, Beida Town and Qiongzhong County of Wanning City. Please ask the above-mentioned cities, counties, township governments and relevant departments to do a good job in geological disaster prevention.

　　Weather reality

　　Affected by the easterly jet, from 08: 00 on October 21 to 08: 00 on October 22, heavy rain to heavy rain occurred in some parts of eastern, central and northern Hainan Island, while moderate rain and local heavy rain occurred in other areas. The rainfall in 61 townships (districts) in 12 cities and counties of Qionghai, Ding ‘an, Wanning, Qiongzhong, Tunchang, Haikou, Wenchang, Lingao, Sanya, Sansha, Chengmai and Ledong exceeds 50 mm, and the rainfall in 31 townships (districts) in 7 cities and counties of Qionghai, Ding ‘an, Wanning, Qiongzhong, Tunchang, Haikou and Wenchang exceeds 100 mm.

　　weather forecast

　　Hainan Provincial Meteorological Observatory predicts that,From 22nd to 24th, due to the influence of easterly jet, there was persistent heavy precipitation in Hainan Island. On the 25th, the easterly airflow weakened and the whole island turned into scattered shower weather.The specific forecast is as follows:

　　Land aspect：

　　From 22nd to 24th, affected by the easterly jet, there were heavy rains to heavy rains and local heavy rains in the eastern and central parts of Hainan Island, heavy rains and local heavy rains in the northern and southern parts, showers and local moderate to heavy rains in the western part. The highest temperature in the eastern half of Hainan Island is 23 ~ 27℃, and the lowest temperature is 19 ~ 23℃. The highest temperature in the western half is 26 ~ 30℃, and the lowest temperature is 18 ~ 25℃.

　　It is estimated that the accumulated rainfall in Wenchang, Qionghai, Qiongzhong, Tunchang and Wanning will be 200-300mm from 08: 00 on October 22nd to 08: 00 on October 25th, the local area will be 450mm, Haikou, Chengmai, Ding ‘an, Baoting, Lingshui and Sanya will be 100-180mm, and the rest cities and counties will be 50-80mm.

　　On the 25th, the easterly airflow weakened, and the whole island was cloudy with scattered showers. The highest temperature rose slightly, and the lowest temperature changed little.

　　Ocean aspect：

　From 22nd to 24th, the winds were 6-7 and the gusts were 8 in the Beibu Gulf, around Hainan Island, and near Xisha and zhongsha islands. Near the Nansha Islands, the wind is 5 ~ 6 and the gust is 7.

　　On the 25th, the winds in the Beibu Gulf, the sea around Hainan Island, and the sea near Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha Islands weakened to 5-6, and the gust was 7.

　　The meteorological department of Hainan Province reminded

　　(1) Due to the heavy accumulated rainfall in the early stage in the eastern half of Hainan Island, the soil moisture in some areas was close to saturation, and there was continuous heavy precipitation in the eastern half of Hainan Island from 22nd to 24th. Relevant departments need to continue to take precautions against secondary disasters such as farmland waterlogging, mountain torrents, floods in small and medium-sized rivers and geological disasters in this area, and strengthen risk prevention such as floodbridges, floodways and mountain roads.

　　(II) Cities are prone to waterlogging risk, so it is necessary to pay special attention to the safety of underground facilities such as underground garages and underpasses, strengthen risk prevention in high-risk areas such as dangerous houses, slopes, simple sheds, rivers and hidden danger points of geological disasters, and strengthen supervision and hidden danger investigation in key places such as tourist attractions and construction sites.

　　(3) It is necessary to strengthen the inspection of reservoirs, pay attention to the limited water level of reservoirs in flood season, and pre-discharge measures can be taken in time for high-level reservoirs.

　　(4) Harvest mature late rice in time to prevent grain germination and rot caused by precipitation. After the rainstorm, the fields that plan to plant melons and vegetables will be drained in time to prepare for cultivation. Early-maturing litchi is easy to shoot autumn shoots after multiple rounds of precipitation, so fruit farmers should do a good job in controlling the shoots.

Since 2017, CBN New First-tier Cities Research Institute has continuously released the "Knowledge City Nightlife Index" to observe the activity of different cities at night, and whether this city can provide people with convenient conditions for nightlife, and also provide support for business decision-making of night format and related city research.

In the 2023 Urban Nightlife Index, we continue.The evaluation model of six data dimensions, including night trips, the number of bars, the number of livehouse, night lighting, night movies and night bus, makes a quantitative evaluation of the level and characteristics of night economic development in 337 cities at or above the prefecture level in China.

Subjective weighting calculation is adopted according to the importance of each dimension, and the specific calculation methods of the data of the above six dimensions are as follows:　

Night travel activity ×0.2

+Number of bars ×0.2

+number of +livehouse ×0.2

+Night light intensity ×0.15

+Night movie activity ×0.15

+Night activity of urban public transport ×0.1

= nightlife index

As a whole, except Qingdao and Hefei, there are 17 first-tier and new first-tier cities in the top 20 of the nightlife index. The other three seats in the top 20 are Foshan, Nanning and Xiamen.From the distribution of the north and the south, besides Beijing, Xi ‘an, Tianjin and Zhengzhou are among the top 20 cities in the north.

Night economy is usually composed of some offline formats with strong purposeful consumption. When we talk about the night economy, the scene that is often directly related is that people go to a place with a destination and spend money. In this context, whether it is shopping malls, markets, restaurants, bars, livehouse, cinemas and other cultural and leisure places, or night-friendly public transportation networks such as subways and buses, these offline facilities provide basic protection for urban people to be active at night.

Bar is a typical night format. Judging from this year’s data, Chengdu and Shenzhen are particularly worth mentioning.

In 2017, when the New First-tier City Research Institute launched the nightlife index for the first time, the number of bars in Chengdu was second only to Shanghai. By 2019, it surpassed Shanghai to rank first, and this year, it expanded its leading edge by more than 13% of the bars in Shanghai.

Another city, Shenzhen, ranked seventh in 2017 and sixth in 2019. This year, with 2063 bars, it jumped to the third place in the country. The number of bars has increased by more than 70% compared with 2017, making it the city with the largest increase in the number of bars.

The newly opened bars in the past year have two characteristics: First, a large number of taverns and craft bars have emerged, and among the newly opened bars in four first-tier cities in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the proportion of clean bars has exceeded 70%-the newly opened bars have become smaller and quieter; The other is that light chain bar brands have appeared in various places, and gained a group of loyal fans through the online celebrity effect, such as Shanghai’s road shops and Yanjing community wine shops in Beijing.

Exhibitions and sports also provide more leisure and entertainment options for urban people at night.

Take the entertainment of going to livehouse for example. There are 10 cities with more than 20 Live Houses, and the supply of Shanghai and Beijing is still in an absolute dominant position. Although the performance market has not fully entered the recovery stage in the past year, the performance pattern of the head city still presents its own characteristics-Shanghai and Shenzhen have maintained rich diversity of performance categories, and Beijing’s Quyi performances are unique.

In the index of night activity of urban public transport, we count the night activity range of urban public transport, the average last bus time of subway and the number of active subway stations at night. Taking the number of active subway stations at night as an example, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Hangzhou are among the best.

In addition, we continue to use the night lighting index to help judge the economic development of the city. Shanghai ranks first and is significantly higher than other cities, followed by Suzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen.

After years of continuous data monitoring and tracking research, we also found that the development logic of night economy is gradually changing from content-oriented in the past, superimposed with high-quality services and experiences, to scene-oriented.

For example, in the past nightlife, everyone went to a place with a single scene for consumption. Nowadays, more and more nightlife takes place in some innovative fields such as restaurants, cultural centers and waterfront spaces. People can drink, socialize, watch exhibitions and listen to music at the same time, and have a lot of impromptu consumption.

At the same time, night is no longer limited to offline communication. People who wear masks at night, wait in front of the live broadcast room for orders at 123, and people who order take-away food to enjoy supper at home can also be called participants in the night economy. The online content of the night economy is becoming more and more abundant. Through the integration of online and offline scenes, the night economy also covers more people.

At the first Shanghai Nightlife CEO Conference and 24-hour Vibrant City Forum held on June 28th, Zhao Jia, deputy editor-in-chief of CBN and editor-in-chief of CBN magazine, made an in-depth analysis of the above trends. The following is an excerpt from the interpretation report:
