不论是神话、科幻还是悬疑题材,迎合年轻观众喜好对人气IP作品进行改编仿佛成了影视圈保障收视的“最大利器”。
YA-ify, or YAify, is a verb meaning to rewrite or modify a work to make it more suitable for, or more appealing to, a young adult audience. It is a portmanteau combining the word YA (young adult) and suffix -ify. The noun form of the verb is YA-ification.
YA-ify(也作YAify)是个动词,指为使一部作品更加适合或更能吸引年轻观众群体而对其进行改写或修改。YA-ify是由YA和后缀-ify组合而成的合成词,YA即young adult(年轻的成年人),其名词形式为YA-ification。
For example:
But that hasn’t stopped the filmmakers from trying to YA-ify The Giver, and the result is something that trades in a lot of what made Lowry’s work a contemporary classic for generic dystopian details.
不过那也没能阻止电影制片人尝试改编《赐予者》以吸引年轻观众的决心,结果最终的成品牺牲了许多令劳瑞这部作品成为当代经典小说的元素,而代之以一般的反乌托邦细节。
