초록

최근 온라인 게임과의 결합양상을 보이며 새로운 분야, 새로운 방식으로 존재하는 전통 희곡은 경전적 희곡의 존재 방식을 탈피하고 있다. 경계를 넘나드는 게임과 전통의 크로스오버 현상을 어떻게 인식해야 하는가. 본고에서는 최근 중국의 젊은 세대가 즐겨하는 게임 분야 중 크게 인기를 끌고 있는 게임 『王者荣耀』를 주 연구대상으로 삼아, 어떻게 고전과 현대, 희곡요소와 게임요소가 융합되었는지 살피고, 전통희곡의 현대적 계승에 있어 그 성과와 문제점, 그리고 앞으로 나아갈 바 등을 탐색해보고자 하였다. 본고는 게임 속 캐릭터 영웅 형상과 중국의 전통 인물의 결합이 『王者荣耀』 인기의 가장 중요한 원인이라고 보고, 그 중에서도 특히 희곡인물과의 연관성에 집중하여 살펴보았다.『王者荣耀』에는 현재 공식적으로 4가지 희곡 즉 京劇, 川劇, 昆劇, 越劇과 연동시켜 영웅의 스킨 외형을 업로드 하였다. 첫째, 京劇과 게임의 결합으로, 京劇 『霸王別嬉』의 項羽와 虞姬의 스킨이고. 두 번째로는 昆劇 『惊梦』에서 사랑 때문에 삶과 죽음을 넘나드는 杜丽娘이라는 인물형상을 영웅 甄姬의 스킨 조형 중 하나로 변모시켰다. 또 전통인물은 아니지만 『王者荣耀』중 오리지널 영웅캐릭터인 梦奇도 중국의 전통적인 지방희 중 川劇을 연동해 만든 胖达荣荣 스킨, 마지막으로 전통 越劇 요소를 장착시켜 선보인 게임 영웅 上官婉儿의 ‘女小生’ 형상이다. 이 네 가지 중국희곡 관련 게임 캐릭터 조형 양상을 살펴 보면, 희곡인물 원래의 상징과 주제를 최대한 유지하고 전통적인 희곡 특징을 드러내고 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

영어초록

Recently, traditional plays that show a combination pattern with online games and exist in a new field and a new way are breaking away from the way of scriptural plays. How should we recognize the crossover game and traditional crossover trend, which is sometimes considered a provocation against the “dignity of tradition”? Through this paper, I specifically tried to review how classical and modern, drama and game elements were fused, and to explore their achievements, problems, and future directions in terms of the modern succession of traditional plays.
In this paper, the main research target is the 『Honor of Kings(王者荣耀)』 released game in 2015, which has recently been very popular among the game fields enjoyed by the younger generation in China. Game is a new play culture popular in modern digital society, and it seems to have nothing to do with ‘tradition’. Nevertheless, most of the hero characters in the 『Honor of Kings(王者荣耀)』 game are related to Chinese historical legends, myths or literature, and traditional Chinese culture and values are often projected on them. I believes that the combination of the hero shape character in the game and traditional Chinese characters is the most important cause of the popularity of 『Honor of Kings(王者荣耀)』, and especially focused on the connection with the play characters.
Currently, 『Honor of Kings(王者荣耀)』 has officially uploaded the appearance of the hero's skin in conjunction with four plays: Beijing Opera(京劇), Kunqu Opera(崑曲), Sichuan opera(川劇), and Yue opera(越劇). First, as a combination of Peking opera(京劇) and game, it is the skin of Xiangyu(項羽) and Yuji(虞姬) in Peking opera 『Farewell My Concubine(霸王別嬉)』. Second, in the Kunqu Opera(崑曲) 『Jingmeng(惊梦)』, the figure of Duliniang(杜丽娘), which crosses life and death due to love, was transformed into one of the skin sculptures of the beautiful hero Zhenji(甄姬). Although it is not a traditional character, the Mengqi(梦奇), original hero character, in 『Honor of Kings(王者荣耀)』 was also given the skin appearance of Pangdarongrong(胖达荣荣) made by linking Sichuan opera(川劇) plays among traditional Local opera(地方戲). Finally, it is the shape of the game hero Nuxiaosheng(女小生) of Shangguanwaner(上官婉儿), which was introduced with traditional Yue opera(越劇) elements. Looking at these four aspects of game character formation related to Chinese plays, it can be seen that the original symbols and themes of the play characters are maintained as much as possible and the traditional play characteristics are never missed. Now that games have become a major play culture of the new generation, traditional Chinese plays are standing in front of the audience in a lively form of play, breaking away from the history of scripture and art. This shows confidence in traditional Chinese culture and at the same time gives a glimpse of the possibility of various methods and paths of traditional culture succession.
Based on the review of this paper, its achievements and meanings were summarized in the following several ways. First, it was confirmed that traditional culture can give special vitality and competitiveness to games, which are modern plays. Second, it was found that online games equipped with traditions are a good platform for promoting history and traditional culture and a new channel for the spread of traditional culture. Finally, while seeking a sense of balance between art and the market, it is necessary to avoid the conservative view that traditional culture hesitates to compromise with the market of modern society. As mentioned above, it was confirmed that the convergence development of traditional culture and Internet games is a new method and opportunity for symbiosis and prosperity.
