Abstract

Cross-media adaptation is an important means of literature popularization. The literary adapted short video named “A Rapid Reading of Original Works in X min” has a unique “speech-picture” mode, and realizes narrative in special information carrying and dissemination method. From the perspective of information theory, the “picture collage under guidance of speech” narrative shape of adapted short video envelops a narrative core with clear division of information between speech and picture; the “speech-picture” narrative realizes the negative entropy of literary information, reduces audience’s cost in receiving information, and improves its acceptance degree. The “speech-picture” narrative of adapted short video provides an information-level operation reference for the cross-media adaptation of literature, and also provides a strategy for the popularization of literature to adapt to the environment of information generalization.
