Creation:the Film Script "Rustling Wind"Paper:Contemporary Reading Of Legends Of Shanghai Women In Republican China

This graduation design consists of two parts:a literary film script and an explanation of the work.The literary film script is entitled "Rustling Wind," an adaptation of Xu Xu’s novel of the same title. It relates the story of the young author Mr. Xu and three beautiful women Bai Ping, Mei Yingzi, and Hai Lun. Xu maintains celibacy throughout; his interest in women is "limited to appreciation from a distance," and he is neither close nor distant from the three women. The War of the Pacific breaks out, when friend and army medic Stevens is thrown in a concentration camp, Mei Yingzi and Mrs. Stevens reveal their American secret operative identity to Xu. Xu wants to save his friend with all his heart and feels a sense of duty to his people. He promises to assist the Americans. The Americans suspect that Bai Ping is a spy for the Japanese, so Mei Yingzi sends Xu to Bai Ping’s house to steal secret documents. Xu is discovered by the careful Bai Ping, who wounds him under orders. However, the misfortune turns to their benefit because the Americans figure out based on the gun Bai Ping had used that she is a secret operative for the Chinese Communists, the suspicion between the two sides is dispelled, and they begin to cooperate. Later, as she is stealing secret Japanese documents, Bai Ping falls into a trap laid by Japanese spy Miyama Yoshiko, heroically sacrificing herself. Mei Yingzi changes her name after eliminating Miyama Yoshiko with poisoned wine. Xu rejects Hai Lun’s love, encourages her to pursue self-actualization, and moves inland to work in education.The interpretation of the work begins from the themes of war and feeling, existence and nothing. It uses contemporary people’s points of view to retell "Rustling Wind." The thesis compares the differences between the original novel and script in detail, with an emphasis on analyzing the creation of the main characters’ images. Finally, it supplements the script on both a holistic and detailed level, explaining how to elaborate the script in a way faithful to the original work.
