Film sound and music perform as the legitimate heirs of some of the aesthetic ideas and norms of traditional Chinese theatre. This book critically examines the history of this under-explored field of inquiry from a theoretically comparative perspective, demonstrating that the musical codes drawn from traditional theatre are a constantly changing component integral to Chinese martial arts cinema. It explores the interaction between traditional Chinese theatre and Chinese martial arts cinema in how the musical codes of the former have shaped the aesthetics of the latter uniquely. This departs from conventional existing studies that focus on adaptation. The books historical and theoretical approach connects film, theatre and music, and re-defines the status of distinctive domains of filmic expression, grounding theatre as the pivot or hinge of film aesthetics. The book proffers this unique angle of research to rethink and re-imagine film sound and audiovisual synchronisation. Primarily intended for scholars in Chinese cinema, film music, Chinese theatre and visual culture, this monograph also presents introductory and comprehensive material for undergraduate and graduate-level courses in film and media studies, film music, Chinese cinema, and Chinese theatre. 001468037 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001468037 650_0 $$aFilm soundtracks$$zChina$$xHistory and criticism. 001468037 650_0 $$aMartial arts films$$zChina. 001468037 650_0 $$aTheater$$zChina$$xHistory. 001468037 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001468037 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWang, Shuang$$tFrom Stage to Screen$$dSingapore : Springer,c2023$$z9789811970368 001468037 852__ $$bebk 001468037 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-19-7037-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001468037 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1468037$$pGLOBAL_SET 001468037 980__ $$aBIB 001468037 980__ $$aEBOOK 001468037 982__ $$aEbook 001468037 983__ $$aOnline 001468037 994__ $$a92$$bISE
