Features: This book takes films and literature related to films in the context of Haipai culture as the research objects, and conducts analysis and discussion on theories, creative phenomena, and the relationship between film and literature from the perspectives of literature, art, and cultural studies. The book argues that Haipai culture is a modern mass culture, which emerged in the context of industrialized, commercialized modern urban environments, with the modern mass audience created by mass media as its premise, within the modern mass society constructed by modern cities and modern masses. As a product of mechanical civilization and scientific and technological development, film is not only a new form of art but also a typical cultural industrial product with mass cultural characteristics, fully embodying the features of modern mass culture. Literature in the context of modern mass culture also has certain differences from literature of the pre-industrial era. These differences are not only caused by specific cultural factors but also arise from its close and intricate relationship with film. This book not only revisits history, respects history, and strives to reconstruct historical contexts, but also, attempts to establish a connection between history and reality within similar cultural contexts, and conducts corresponding cultural critique.
