Tell me the difference between the movie version of "White Deer Plain" and the TV series version of "White Deer Plain"

Recently, I am a little obsessed with watching the TV series "White Deer Plain". The more obsessed I am, the more grateful I feel.

"Stir up national affairs for a century and recast the spirit of White Deer." I am grateful to Mr. Chen Zhongshi for leaving us such an epic masterpiece that is thick, honest, open-minded and comprehensive. It is a monument in the history of Chinese literature and even the history of Chinese culture. It is worthy of being a book that can be used as a "coffin pillow". .

The first time I learned about "White Deer Plain" was in 1993, when I was in the second grade of junior high school. At that time, the senior brothers circulated it secretly and secretly, and whispered to each other about something. Now that I think about it, they probably read "White Deer Plain" as a banned book and enjoyed peeking into this traditional Chinese adult world.

However, the author was young at the time and had no idea what kind of underground work they were talking about and doing.

It wasn’t until 1997, when the author was in the senior year of high school, that I once again encountered “White Deer Plain”—a few outdated issues of “Contemporary” magazine in the school reading room. It should be that "White Deer Plain" was serialized as a large novel in "Contemporary" before it was published as a book.

At that time, I was deeply shocked by this novel: it was too thick! Too thick! At that time, I didn't realize what award "White Deer Plain" had won. When I connected the characters and scenes of the novel in my mind, I thought to myself, "It would be great if it was made into a TV series!" I even naively thought that I would be qualified to be a director in the future. , I must film the TV series "White Deer Plain".

Unexpectedly, Teacher Chen Zhongshi also had the same view as me - he once said: For the adaptation of "White Deer Plain", he pinned his hopes on the TV series.

Because such a huge masterpiece cannot be carried by a 150-minute or 330-minute movie?

This is the first difference between the TV series version of "White Deer Plain" and the movie version of "White Deer Plain": the TV series version of "White Deer Plain" is huge and rich in connotation, and is closer to the original novel, while the movie version of "White Deer Plain" seems to be more Like a trailer for a blockbuster movie.

Of course, the movie version of "White Deer Plain" is also a sincere work, with high artistic appreciation value from character creation, customs, regional dialects to scene photography.

It can be said that the TV series version of "White Deer Plain" is an artistic record of the century-old changes in the Weihe Plain, while the movie version of "White Deer Plain" is a streamlined and concentrated documentary.

The TV series version of "White Deer Plain" has just been allocated to a little more than 1%, so it is too early to draw conclusions in advance.

The second difference between the TV series version of "White Deer Plain" and the movie version of "White Deer Plain" is: the TV series version of "White Deer Plain" focuses on exploring the humanistic connotation, looking into the character of the Chinese people, reaching into the depths of people's souls, and having an educational meaning; The film version of "White Deer Plain" focuses on reflecting the vicissitudes of the times and the joys and sorrows of the world.

The appearance of Bai Lu and Mr. Zhu in the TV series version of "White Deer Plain" is the carrier of the essence of "benevolence and righteousness" in traditional farming civilization. It also reflects the deep-rooted complex of Chinese farmers who have regarded the land as their life for thousands of years, and their respect for the land. The land that “clothes the world” and the wheat (grain, food) that “nourishes the generations” are deeply felt.

The above elements are also involved and reflected in the movie version of "White Deer Plain", but they are more superficial in comparison.

The third difference between the TV series version of "Bai Lu Yuan" and the movie version of "Bai Lu Yuan" is that the erotic content of the TV series version of "Bai Lu Yuan" is much lighter; the characters such as Tian Xiao'e in the movie version of "Bai Lu Yuan" are each portrayed with passion.

In short, "White Deer Plain" is a folk way of writing China's modern history, and it will definitely leave a strong mark!

I wish the TV series version of "White Deer Plain" a huge success! !
