On The Military TV Play

Even now,the military TV play in our country has gone through three decades of trials and hardships since In Enemy Camp for 18 Years, the first one came out in 1980.During this period,we not only reviewed the gunsmoke,heavy gunfire and neighing of war years,and also appreciated the charm of contemporary soldiers in peace times.Many lifelike heroes,such as Qin Zixiong,Fang Yingda,Shi Guangrong,Li Yunlong,and Xu Sanduo,have melted in our daily life through the plot of the play.It is true that the military TV play,as important vehicle of highliting themes of the times,has inherent advantages;while,as mass cultural products,it has to be faced with marketing trials.In this sense, the object of study-it is provided with far-reaching research value and social meaning.Why is our country's military TV play unfading? What social factors is it also affected by? And how can we get rid of the stale and bring forth the fresh to produce works that people are pleased to see? These questions remain to be pondered and solved.Wherefore;this thesis discuss from the following six parts through the research persPectives of text,context and audience.The first part is the introduction which at first introduces the rise of the play and summarizes the results and deficiency of the phenomenon,as well,the research approaches and thoughts.The second is text analysis,interpreting the text from the main thread of typology and narratology.The author,abstracting the elements of types,points out that the play usually has some common external and interior elements,such as magnificent war scenes,skilled photography, and the dissemination of patriotism and idealism.Next,with the theory of narratology,we can generalize several narrative models used,including the model of structural similarity in clan and country,dual-antagonistic model,hero-beauty mode and so on.Meanwhile,it shows us the war spectacle full of audio-visual impact,with the use of vedio narrative skills like imaging techniques and voice design.The third part is the context analysis.On the one hand,TV play of military themes,as a" bearer" of the theme,is playing ideology-oriented functions as echoes of the mainstream;On the other hand,by the impact and the constraints of consumer society on themselves,it begins to present commercialized utility color,which,makes patriotism and heroism gradually digested.In the meantime,the popularity of pop culture more or less brings the love element,the idol element,as well as the comedy element for today's military TV plays.The fourth part is the audience analysis,researching in which way military TV series is "used" by consumers.From a psychological point of view,the "hero worship",as a mental prototype,has been deeply hidden in the psychological structures of every nation,and much of the reason why the series of military themes are so popular is that they recall the heroic sentiments which has long been covered with dust and still been found difficult to give up.Furthermore,combining the "uses and gratifications",the author points out that it also meets the audience's mentality of identification,nostalgia,entertainment,and curiosity.Partâ…¤seeks to give an analysis and conclusion about the innovation of military TV play.In narration,it has changed from a simple "theme" narration to a popular narration in which coexists fashion and popular features;at portrayal of a person,the former "hero myth" has been broken, and "Human Nature" and "civilians" heroes start flooding the screen.In addition,this section offers an interpretation of "hero model" in the series of military themes in recent years with two specific cases "Drawing Sword" and "soldiers raided",including the changes from Gaodaquan hero mode to personality mode,from hero mode to anti-hero mode.Partâ…¥is the conclusion in which the author once again emphasizes its success and necessity of innovation keeping pace with the times.At the same time,the author also indicates that it is facing development bottlenecks and looks forward to its brighter future through all aspects of efforts.
