On Cao Yu's Early Dramas, Film And Television Adaptations

In modern times, Cao Yu's dramas," Thunder storm", "Sunrise", "Field" have been recomposed to films and teleplays successively. The recomposition of Cao yu's dramas to films and teleplays is equal to unscramble and explain them newly. Compared with other fashions to unscramble them, directors process their comprehension and explanation of the scripts by means of representation form of the play, and finally fix them by means of edition form. What kind of culture and language environment is the director infected, what "forethought" the director takes, and from what culture standpoint to explain Cao Yu' drama;furthermore, how to deal with the differences between plays and dramas as they belong to the unlike art classes, all of which will make the effect on the ultimate features, subject expectation and spirit essential to be embodied. Hermeneutic is especial academic angle to research on these problems. The play recomposed from "thunder storm" is a new world reformed on the basis of the explainer's own text creation, and which is produced from the fusion between the author Cao Yu's "original eyeshot" and explainer's (the film director Sun daoli, the teleplay director Li shaohong) "modern eyeshot". The directors are inevitably influenced by their own "modern eyeshot", which will bring the windage to the explanations. The screenwriters of the film and teleplay "Sunrise" have the explicit consciousness of the screen, they defer to the rules of the cinematics, and take good use of the advantage of the freedom of the camera lens switch and space-time height, and combination of sound and paint, so that they recomposed the drama by means of the narration in both film and teleplay successfully. The recomposition of "field" is effected by the age culture and language environment without irregularity. The film "field" exhibits the intense age request to break the shackle of the feudatorial thought in 80s. The popularization of the teleplay "field" is just corresponding to the rising trend of the people's culture in early 21^st Century. Reviewing the recomposition of Cao Yu's three dramas from the angle of hermeneutic developed the research field of the recomposition of Cao Yu's drama, and have the meaning of reference and elicitation to recomposition and creation for the future.
