With the iterative development of media technology,the old and new media are moving from the original clear-cut to the fusion,and the cross-media narrative is an emerging cultural form presented in the context of fusion culture.Combined with the current situation of the audiovisual industry,various literary works have been put on the screen,and IP adaptations have become prevalent.Among many online fiction texts,crossover novels stand out as a unique narrative in the online literature market,and "crossover" also appears as a popular narrative element in various film and television works.The "Treading On Thin Ice" has caused two "Crossing Boom" in the online literature and film circles,and is regarded as a benchmark work in the Crossing genre.This article takes the TV series "Treading On Thin Ice" as the specific object of study,uses textual analysis and case study method,based on the core theory of cross-media narrative,and studies the cross-media narrative construction of the two text types of "Treading On Thin Ice" : online crossover novel and TV series.The article is divided into four parts: first,it discusses the concept of crossing as an artistic genre and the breakthrough of the traditional view of history;second,it reinterprets the relationship between transmedia narratives and film and television drama adaptations,and specifically takes the television series "Treading On Thin Ice" as the object of study,we discuss the creative reconstruction of the story world and aesthetic world in the cross-media narrative of the TV series in terms of the image expression of secondary creation and the creation of classical aesthetic context under media transformation;third,the relationship between the texts of online novels and TV series is studied from the perspective of intertextuality,and the intertextual connection between the two texts is analyzed and illustrated from the dual paths of poetics and ideology,respectively,as well as the impact of this intertextual relationship on the whole symbolic cultural field;fourth,the human contradiction between the ancient context and modern society embodied in "Treading On Thin Ice" is briefly analyzed,which making it a cultural allegory.The thesis reflects on the perception of traditional historical concepts by exploring the concept of crossing,and proposes the idea that transmedia adaptation is subordinate to transmedia narrative from the perspective of media properties and narrative,and expands the theory of transmedia narrative by considering the issue of story embodiment and the proliferation of aesthetic worlds.At the same time,the thesis examines transmedia narratives from the perspective of intertextuality and finds that transmedia narratives are actually the symbolic cultural focus of the composition and nature of the current cultural field.Through the study of transmedia narratives and cultural fields,the thesis aims to provide some kind of reference for the development of transmedia narrative theory and even the creation of film and television literature in China.
