The Research On Intertextuality In Serial Reasoning Reality Show "Who’s The Murderer"

Due to the accelerated pace of update and iteration in the variety show market,old-fashioned variety shows face problems such as insufficient innovation and audience fatigue,and new shows emerge one after another.As one of the representatives of the old-fashioned variety show "N-Generation",the series of reasoning reality show "Who’s the murderer" has launched a total of 6 seasons,and the reputation and click rate have maintained a high level.There are 82 programs in the first six seasons,including a large number of derivative products.The program system is huge and rich in content.There are intertextual relationships between programs and other works,within programs,and between programs and derivatives.Based on the theory of intertextuality and cross-media narrative theory,the method of case study and text analysis is used to study the intertextuality performance of "Who’s the murderer",which can not only explore the intertextual relationship between the program and the social context,but also analyze the program.The intertextual relationship with other texts can make people better understand the innovative mechanism of the "Comprehensive N Generation" program.Intertextuality theory is a textual theory that emerged from Western structuralism and post-structuralism.Kristeva opened a gap in structuralist text theory and introduced a socio-historical dimension,which is different from traditional literary history research.Specifically,“historical texts” and “social texts” belong to two different dimensions.Historical texts refer to previous texts,and social texts refer to contemporary social discourses.Judging from the birth of the program,"Who’s the murderer" has obvious intertextual relationship with the suspenseful reasoning culture,board game/secret room game culture,and postmodernist culture in social texts.These three types of cultures jointly contributed to the birth of the program;At the same time,a lot of content in "Who’s the murderer" refers to the scene elements,character elements and storyline elements in other historical classic texts.It not only awakened the audience’s familiarity with classics,but also helped the program write new stories in a postmodern context.From the perspective of program derivation,"Who’s the murderer",as a "comprehensive N generation" program,also reflects distinct intertextual characteristics in its serial production,cross-media production and audience participation production."Who’s the murderer" uses the extension of time,space and characters to carry out serialized intertextual derivation;it uses derivative products such as online derivative variety shows,interactive micro-dramas and live concerts to continuously expand the boundaries of the story world,through the offline flagship The store enhances the audience’s immersive experience;fans engage in the participatory production of the second creation through interpretation,appropriation and rewriting.From the birth of the program to its derivation,"Who’s the murderer" finally completes the function of intertextuality: the first function is to reinterpret and reinterpret classic texts,awakening the audience’s collective memory of classic texts;the second function is to use cross-media Intertextuality is used to realize the construction of the story world,and fans are invited to participate in the construction of the story world.Finally,from the perspective of economic interests,the construction of the IP matrix is completed from the perspective of online products and offline products.
