This book is one of our publisher's "Yu Qiuyu Book Series" and is also one of the representative works of Yu Qiuyu's academic works. The book starts from the audience psychology and systematically studies how dramatists understand the audience, adapt to the audience, conquer the audience, and improve the audience. The book lists a large number of practices of artists at home and abroad, both ancient and modern, to prove that audience psychology, as an aesthetic psychological category conveyed by a subject, is vivid in image and profound in thinking.
Reader comments
This book is an "empirical argumentation" work. It uses a large number of empirical remarks from ancient and modern times at home and abroad to demonstrate the existence of this knowledge, and gives it structure, viewpoints and examples. The author extensively investigates the records of thinking about audience psychology left by Chinese and foreign art practitioners. Looking for the psychological basis of the audience for artistic expression, we found the psychological basis. Maybe the theoretical structure of this book can be considered, but the artistic feeling in it is definitely trustworthy! Moreover, the author's language is easy to understand and the reading threshold is low, making it suitable for readers of all ages.
This book is very suitable for students majoring in art theory or art history. The author analyzes art theory from the perspective of the audience's feelings. Based on the artistic theory of the psychological needs of watching dramas, the book elaborates on the interaction process between the audience and the actors, the environment, and the script, and deeply explores the operation of the audience's attention, emotion, and imagination. As an ordinary audience member who often walks into theaters, I can relate to many of the cases and analyzes cited in the book, which has also indirectly enhanced my understanding of "audience psychology." What we call the tension of the drama, the actor's control of the scene, and the repetition and reversal of the script ultimately serve the audience and guide them to participate in the performance and complete artistic expression.
This book explores the relationship between dramatists and audiences from the perspective of audience psychology. The content is both profound and interesting. The book mentions that Plato believed that people's sense of beauty arises from the memory of beautiful bodies, which is very enlightening. Moreover, Aristotle's theory of "cultivation" also allowed me to think more deeply about the psychological mysteries of the audience. All in all, this is a great book worth reading!
Use vivid language to provide us with the background for psychological learning. "In terms of general social cognition, people are also accustomed to using psychological concepts to explain tragic beauty and comic beauty. For example, tragic beauty is described as the release of sad memories, and comic beauty is described as the satisfaction of pleasure desires. This statement is not wrong, but it just stays on the superficial psychology. From a deep psychological perspective, tragic beauty and comic beauty correspond to human beings' need to look up and look down on social objects. Tragedy creates heroes, and tragic heroes are the objects that people look up to. In art, admiration has nothing to do with status, wealth, and knowledge, but mainly depends on whether he encounters tragedy and his performance in tragedy. The sense of sublimity of other objects is also related to inaccessibility, and even to sacrifice. "You can learn a lot from it.
Whether we are speaking, writing or talking in daily conversations, we need to clearly understand our audience. Otherwise, the purpose of the conversation will not be achieved. This book introduces how Yu Qiuyu designs plays based on his own audience. He analyzed, "This kind of induction relies to a large extent on the audience's quick associations and supplements, and is highly contingency. The breadth and depth of psychological needs satisfaction are far from being compared with the overall situation of the drama."

This can be said to be the first monograph in China that starts from the audience's psychology and systematically studies how dramatists understand the audience, adapt to the audience, conquer the audience, and improve the audience. Audience psychology is actually a study of drama and art from the perspective of reception aesthetics. In an era when there are too many false theories and empty theories, it is most necessary to find the ultimate basis of things to conduct all-round cracking. Just like the reformers at that time had to crack down on the extreme "left" high-profile words based on the ultimate survival needs of the people.
It's actually quite easy to read. It explains the profound things in simple terms. It's quite rewarding after reading it.
I read this book for Mr. Yu Qiuyu. I am not interested in performances or dramas. I have only read a few Huangmei and the Four Major Tragedies.
