1982年,谌容发表中篇小说《人到中年》。同年,该小说被改编成电影,公映后引起社会巨大轰动。三十年后,38集电视连续剧《人到四十》在全国热播,同样引发了人们的深入思考。我们欣喜地看到:现实主义精神在文艺创作中一脉相承,代有佳作,但也毋庸讳言,当前现实题材电视剧仍然面临着诸多的困惑与纠结。究竟应当如何突出重围寻找生机,《人到四十》也许可以提供诸多借鉴。 In 1982, Chen Rong published a novella “People to middle age.” In the same year, the novel was adapted into a movie, which caused a huge social stir. Thirty years later, the 38-episode TV series “Man to Forty” hit the whole country, which also triggered people’s deep thinking. We are pleased to see that the spirit of realism has the same strain of success in literary and artistic creation, but there is no denying that the current reality television drama is still confronted with many puzzles and tangles. How to highlight the siege to find vitality, “people to Forty” may be able to provide a lot of reference.
