悬疑题材影视作品因能够激发观众对探索真相、解开谜团的欲望，以及满足观影的社交属性而被广泛青睐。但随着悬疑题材影片的井喷式发展，其叙事策略也出现了剧情结构套路化和同质化等问题，从而导致观众的审美疲劳。悬疑题材如何突破和创新、什么样的叙事方式和策略能有效平衡悬疑破案和故事内核的表达是影视创作者亟须反思的问题。诗意现实主义是一种影视创作倾向，强调抒情性与叙事性的结合：一方面需要对客观环境进行诗意的再现，另一方面也在叙事中保持细节的真实；运用诗意的手法描绘小人物，同时也对现实背景进行批判。诗意现实主义风格在不同题材不同类型的影视作品中都体现了独特的艺术价值、审美价值和社会价值。辛爽导演的《漫长的季节》正是诗意现实主义与悬疑题材结合的典型案例。本研究以影视叙事学相关理论为依据，采用文本分析方法，以典型剧集《漫长的季节》为主要分析案例，探讨了悬疑如何与诗意现实主义风格相融合，以及诗意现实主义风格对悬疑题材创作的影响。通过总结其成功经验，研究认为，悬疑题材的创作在叙事结构、叙事视角上可突破服务于悬念设置的叙事动机；在叙事内容上可强调对人物情感的刻画与诗意化表达，突破以理性逻辑为核心的叙事倾向；在影像叙事中可注重画面的整体和谐与诗意氛围的营造，突破全片渲染紧张、压抑悬疑氛围的视听风格。同时，悬疑本身可以不再作为悬疑题材的主体创作核心，仅作为元素和叙事手段来辅助故事内核的表达，并通过抒情性与现实性的结合，突破悬疑题材框架，使作品拥有各自独特的风格。而无论是悬疑题材还是其他影视题材，唯有尊重情感表达的叙事行为，才能创作出更具艺术创造性，也更符合受众审美需求和具备社会价值的影视艺术作品。
Mystery-themed film and television works captivate audiences by stimulating the desire to uncover truths and satisfy social viewing experiences. Yet, the proliferation of such narratives has led to a patterned storytelling approach, causing viewer fatigue. Thus, filmmakers face the challenge of innovating within the genre and finding narrative strategies that balance mystery-solving with core story expression.Poetic realism, a creative tendency in filmmaking, emphasizes lyrical and narrative fusion. It involves a poetic depiction of the objective world and a truthful detailing of narratives, often highlighting the lives of ordinary people against a backdrop of social critique. This style has shown unique value in various film and television genres. "The Long Season," directed by Xin Shuang, exemplifies the melding of poetic realism with mystery.Drawing on film and television narrative theory and using textual analysis, this study examines "The Long Season" to explore the integration of mystery with poetic realism and its creative implications. The research identifies that to innovate in mystery-themed works, creators should transcend narrative structures that cater solely to suspense. Instead, they should emphasize emotional character development and poetic expression, challenging the dominance of rational logic in storytelling. Visually, the focus should be on harmonious, poetic imagery, breaking away from the conventional tension-filled atmosphere of the genre.The study concludes that mystery need not be the central creative focus but can serve as a narrative technique to enhance the story‘s core. By blending lyricism with reality, works can step beyond the confines of the mystery genre, acquiring distinctive styles. Ultimately, respecting emotional narrative is key to crafting artistic, aesthetically appealing, and socially valuable film and television art. Emotional expression can more artistically creative, aesthetically pleasing, and socially valuable film and television artworks be created.
