What do you think is the difference between watching TV dramas and reading books?
The Four Great Classics are four classic works of Chinese classical novels, including Dream of the Red Chamber, Journey to the West, Water Margins, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. TV series and reading are two different art forms. There are some differences between them. 1. Reading experience: Reading is a more immersive and independent experience. The reader can freely choose what to read according to their own preferences and interests, and can gradually delve into it as the story develops. On the other hand, TV series were a more intuitive and dynamic experience. The audience could feel the changes in the story and the emotional changes of the characters through the screen. 2. Visual effects: Compared to television dramas, the visual effects of reading books are more limited, and the amount of information that can be conveyed by words is relatively small. On the other hand, TV series could present the story and the emotions of the characters more vividly and intuitively through the performance of pictures and sounds. 3. Time limit: A novel usually tells a complicated story with time as a clue. TV series were usually adapted from the plot of a novel and unfolded according to a certain timeline. Therefore, the time limit of a TV series was usually shorter than that of a novel. 4. Character Creation: The novel focuses on character creation to show the essence of the story through the character's personality, behavior, emotions, and other aspects. On the other hand, TV dramas paid more attention to the image and movements of the characters. Through the performance of the actors and the performance of the scenes, the image and personality of the characters were better presented. Therefore, the difference between reading the Four Great Classics and watching TV series was the reading experience, visual effects, time limit, and character creation. The readers could choose the reading method and viewing method that suited them according to their interests and preferences.
