摘要

本文探讨了COVID-19大流行对《90天未婚夫》系列电影制作和叙事策略的影响，重点关注了其衍生作品《90天未婚夫：自我隔离》（2020）。它审查了该方案如何通过自我拍摄、远程采访和侧重于普通的、针对大流行的活动来适应流动限制和封锁政策。本研究运用真人秀、纪录片和真实性理论，强调了衍生剧通过跨文本性、地点锚定和无聊来实现真实性的谈判。这篇文章有助于理解大流行时代的真人秀节目如何采用灵活性和实用主义，将高度真实性与表演元素相结合，以保持相关性和观众参与度。

Stretching authenticity in times of restricted mobility: Transtextuality, place anchoring, and boredom in romance reality show 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined

The article explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the production and narrative strategies of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, focusing on its spin-off, 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined (2020). It examines how the programme adapted to mobility restrictions and lockdown policies through self-filming, remote interviewing, and focusing on mundane, pandemic-specific activities. Using theories of reality TV, documentary and authenticity, the study highlights the spin-off’s negotiation of authenticity via transtextuality, place anchoring and boredom. The article contributes to understanding how pandemic-era reality TV embraced flexibility and pragmatism, blending heightened authenticity with performative elements to maintain relatability and audience engagement.
