The 10 works on the list are: the short stories "Night Wanderer", "Birds in the Forest", "The Case of the Disappearance of the Shepherd", "1993", "Shopping in the Future", the novella "Unknown Place", "Architectural Ethics" and " "Keep Silent", "Mutual Hunting" and "There's a Tall Building in the Northwest", covering themes such as military, love, countryside, suspense, crime, women, martial arts, history, and contemporary cities. Among them, "Night Wanderer" and "Unknown Place" were the works with the highest votes among short stories and novellas respectively.
It is understood that the organizer spent a year collecting more than 370 literary works from all over the country, and selected and published them in the "Novel Monthly", "Novel Monthly·Large Character Edition", "Novel Monthly·Original Edition" and "Science Fiction Cube". After three rounds of selection by senior experts and industry leaders in the film and television and literary circles, the 10 best works of the year with the greatest potential for film and television adaptation were finally selected to provide strong literary support for the development of film and television projects.
The general planner of this event, the famous screenwriter, director and Peking University professor Chen Yu took the stage to promote the novels on the list. He is also the original screenwriter of the movies "Red on the River", " Solid as a Rock" and "Sniper". He said that the profound expressions of classic literature are still needed in the fragmented drama viewing atmosphere of the short video era, so film and television dramas adapted from classic literature have "rigorously needed" value in this era. However, there is a lack of original content in the film and television industry, and it is urgent to discover excellent stories.
Regarding the 10 works on the list, Chen Yu not only sorted out the highlights based on their textual value, but also "step-by-step" guided the development of these works into possible forms of film and television drama projects, project references, and contemporary value. For example, when promoting Zhou Daxin's "Shopping in the Future", he believed that after hard science fiction works such as "The Wandering Earth", domestic film and television dramas opened up the "soft science fiction" track - a new direction for science fiction family dramas; when talking about "The Unknown" "Land", he said that this novel can help construct a new concept of Chinese western films and create a Netflix-level high-quality series.
Chen Yu believes that to judge whether a novel is worthy of being adapted into a film or television drama, it is necessary to judge from four points: whether the work is contemporary and groundbreaking; whether it has a good worldview; whether it has distinct characters and relationships; whether it has outstanding excellence plot design.
Vice Chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Dramatists Association Chen Yan said when commenting on "The Night Wanderer": "The work delicately and accurately depicts the pain of ordinary people's existence under the transformation of the times. It uses the case to cut into the texture of the times and reconstructs the Literature is related to the times and regional life, and its labyrinth-like narrative is full of life memories and the power of spiritual redemption, injecting new vitality and momentum into the new Northeast narrative."
Chen Yan said that no matter how small the literary work is, , it still needs to have a macro theme, and at the same time be able to penetrate the trivialities of life, and the most important thing is to create a full human nature. When it comes to adaptation, he believes that although film and television drama adaptations must adhere to the original intention of the original work, the screenwriter should have more freedom to create a second time.
Member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, former member of the Party Leadership Group and Secretary of the Secretariat of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and former Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of the China Filmmakers Association, Zhang Hong said when awarding the honor to “The Unknown Place” that it “puts the test of human nature in the nameless place on the desolate plateau. In the ground, he writes about the evolution and complexity, struggle and rise of human nature under the extreme situation of life and death, directly attacking the core issues of ethics and morality, allowing the true and good state of human nature to be effectively presented in the distant frontier, and exploring the infinite possibilities of life in the vastness and coldness. sex".
Huo Yaowu, development director of Alibaba Pictures, said that when film and television producers judge whether to adapt a novel, they will judge whether it has a prominent and unique genre or theme, whether the story is rich enough; whether the characters are legendary and have inner vitality; and whether the characters are emotional. Whether the expression is universal; whether the echo of history and reflection on the present can be seen in it.
In recent years, director Shen Yan has filmed the drama series "The First Half of My Life" and "The Golden Years" based on Yi Shu's novels.He said that there is no standard answer for adaptation.
