There are mixed reviews for the ongoing TV series "Our Thousand Queer Songs", which is based on the novel of the same name, and has been the subject of a lot of controversy during its airing, so whether it is the TV series or the novel that is better has become a hot topic among viewers. First of all, personally, I still prefer the novel, after all, in the process of reading the novel can give free rein to their imagination.
There are some differences between novels and dramas. I prefer the plot and characters in the novel. First of all, the heroine of the novel, Si Lingyun, is full of mystery, with a complicated but rich family, good looks, and the ability to work on her own portrays her excellence from the side. But in the TV series, Si Lingyun is a bland and uninteresting girl. This point compared to the novel to see the lack of some point of view.
Secondly, the plot reflected in the TV series is more successful than the novel, Si Lingyun and Fu Yize, Qu Heng and Zhou Coco, Mi Xiaolan and Si Jianyu all have a happy ending, so it can be said that the whole TV series, although the plot in the middle of the drama a little bit abusive, but the result is also a happy ending. The novel then gives us an open-ended ending, leaving the rest of the white space for readers to imagine freely, and there will be a feeling of unfulfilled hope after reading the novel.
In addition, I personally feel that if this novel is remade as a TV series, many details are very difficult to show in the TV series, for the overbearing president and similar themes of the novel, some of the plot text description to be more full than the rendition of some. For example, in the novel, Fu Yize's feelings for Si Lingyun are contradictory, both want to let Si Lingyun fall in love with himself, but also unwilling to put down his body to pursue Si Lingyun, the novel can be vividly portrayed in writing Fu Yize's strong self-esteem of the psyche, and the same is also more clear to the readers to show the details of the psychological activities of the various characters.
The TV series needs more characters and more plots to reflect the psychological activities of each character. So in order to truly understand the various characters in a TV series, it is necessary for viewers to follow the series on a daily basis. Of course, for those who are more into dramas, they may have their own different interpretation of the characters in the drama.
For readers who have read the original, the most complained about is the pompous plot of the drama, especially in the first episode of the bidding price of hundreds of millions of dollars as a unit seems to be a bit exaggerated, as well as the main actor Chen Jianfeng was also spit out by the audience that the age of the audience, in fact, I personally feel that the male protagonist of the "hegemonic president" novels tends to be the type of perfection, so the TV drama if you want to really understand the characters in the drama, you need to follow it every day to understand. So the drama's pompous plot is not out of place if it is put into the novel.
And the original Fu Yizhe's age is more than thirty years old, Chen Jianfeng's age is similar to that of the novel, plus he has a thicker background in acting, so I think Chen Jianfeng as the role is very suitable, and Tian Li, Yu Xiaofan, and many other veteran actresses acting is also worthy of affirmation, and the TV series is adapted in the direction of positive energy, in general, in the remake of the TV series has been considered a good thing. The TV series has been considered good among the many remakes of the TV series.
Personally, the reason I like the novel is not because of the flaws and problems of the TV series, on the contrary, I think the TV series is very impressive in terms of plot design and characterization, and it's a different kind of feeling when you read the novel and watch the TV series again. I just prefer the open-ended ending and the narrative style of the novel. The above is only a personal expression of views and opinions, if there is something wrong, I hope to point out.
