If "The Story of Rose" is not adapted and filmed completely according to the original book, it is estimated that this drama will not be broadcast. After all, as soon as the original book "The Story of the Rose" was released, it caused a huge sensation in that society at that time, and as a novel describing the emotional world of women, its plot setting can be said to be very bold and open.
However, when it was adapted into a TV series, the writers made drastic changes to the original book, much to the surprise of many book fans.
In the original book, Rose's family background is even more unfathomable, her parents are successful businessmen, she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and Rose's grades since she was a child are also quite good, but unexpectedly, Rose almost never went to school.
It is in this "greenhouse"-like environment that the rose lacks the ability to live independently, doing nothing all day, and the only pursuit is to explore the mystery of love.
Sure enough, Rose's love history is quite exciting, she has been dating men since she was 16 years old, and has experienced 9 relationships in her life, the most incredible of which is her entanglement with a married man Zhou Shihui.
At that time, Zhou Shihui's wife was pregnant, and Rose was a 16-year-old high school student.
Later, Zhou even abandoned his wife and children for Rose, but Rose was only with him because he was lonely, and finally rejected him, which made Zhou Shihui very sad.
Another ironic plot happened between Rose and Zhuang Guodong, that is, when the two met, Zhuang already had a fiancée, but was impressed by the charm of Rose and began a "split" love.
Even after weighing the pros and cons, Zhuang chose to marry his fiancée, but after marriage, he missed Rose, which eventually led to divorce.
As for the marriage between Rose and Fang Xiewen, it is bland, Fang Xiewen in the original book is an honest and honest ordinary person, and the image in the drama version is like two people, the married life of the two is boring and boring, like chewing wax, so Rose still chose to separate.
In the end, Rose actually followed a rich man who was almost 60 years old, and the rich man's son also had a good impression of her.
Overall, the original book "The Story of Rose" is more like a work about Rose's entanglement with her lovers, full of unacceptable plots, and there is no positive energy at all.
In contrast, the adaptation of the drama version can be described as drastic, and the screenwriters have completely reshaped the original book, making the image of Rose a 180-degree transformation.
In terms of family background, the drama version retains the setting that Rose was born into wealth, but deletes the scene where she has never gone to school, making her more independent and self-motivated.
In terms of emotional lines, the screenwriters completely reconstructed the love experience between Rose and three men, Zhou Shihui, Zhuang Guodong and Fang Xiewen have all become respectable characters in the drama version, and their relationship story with Rose is more pure and moving, without the offensive plot in the original book, replaced by Rose's growth process in the face of life setbacks.
Through the adaptation, Rose's image has become more positive, and she constantly pursues independence in the play, never giving up even when she encounters setbacks, and finally realizes her self-worth.
The screenwriters skillfully conveyed the positive energy theme of "women should be independent, self-reliant, self-respecting and self-loving" through Rose's life process, which coincides with the mainstream values of the current society and is naturally easier to resonate with the audience.
The success of the drama version is inseparable from the excellent adaptation ability of the screenwriter team, who have made bold innovations in the characters and plots with the times while respecting the original work, extracting the essence of excellent literary works, and organically integrating the mainstream values of current society.
At the same time, the actors' excellent acting skills are also an important reason why the drama version of "The Story of Rose" has been well received, and they have vividly interpreted the adapted characters, so that the audience can enjoy the plot while also feeling the unique personality charm of each character.
