Nieokiełznane opowieści-kłącza. Mo Dao Zu Shi i Chen Qing Ling jako przykład transmedialności na gruncie chińskim
Untamed rhizome stories. Mo Dao Zu Shi and Chen Qing Ling as an example of transmediality in China

Summary/Abstract: Despite the academic efforts in making it more known and familiar, Chinesecinema is still sometimes considered to a certain degree as „an outlandish”. Isit the case? I decided to examine it on the example of work, which was dividedwith time into separate pieces, and then underwent the process of transmediastorytelling – a form of media narration forgotten after Matrix by Wachowski’ssiblings. As a primary role in my reflection serves The Untamed – 50-episodesChinese historical drama (guzhuang) shared via Tencent platform in 2019. Atthis point the series is rather known, but at the same time it stays away frommainstream – located slightly at the edge of global awareness, somewhere be-tween popular and niche culture. Thanks to transformation into transmediastory, and also being entangled in the Internet second circuit, the original plot,depicted by the series, received recognition and opened itself for the farther in-terpretations and metamorphosis.
