Chapter 1 explores the reasons why film and TV works could influence novels in 1990s. Three reasons are identified: firstly, the novelists' writing styles were affected by the new expectations for novels of the film and TV industry and the readers in the new background of the market economy; secondly, the novelists themselves altered their writing styles to cater to the film and TV industry and market to earn fame and money; thirdly, the commonness of film and TV works and novels provide a basis for their mutual influence. Chapter 2 displays the picture of novels conceding under the pressure of film and TV works, taking film and TV novels as a prototype case for analysis. This chapter holds that the conceding is a positive approach for novels to retain its literary nature. Chapter 3 analyzes the texts of the novels written with elements of film and TV styles, focusing on the works of those novelists closely related to the film and TV industry.This thesis carefully analyzes the phenomenon of mutual adaptation of novels and film and TV works, with the focus on novels, either those adapted into or those adapted from film and TV works.
