Lisco's American Life

After lunch, because Li Ke and Zhang Li had already made arrangements for the afternoon, although they were very reluctant, the crew members were still very graceful and said goodbye, and each returned to their respective rooms to prepare for the afternoon's itinerary.

For these crew members, job opportunities are still very important, and the Berlin Film Festival is a huge event in the film and television industry, so they need to socialize with different people and attend various cocktail parties to expand their contacts. Requested

Next job opportunity.

Zhang Li and Liske were much more relaxed. According to their plans, today they were going to visit the Berlin Film Festival and wander around various scenic spots. They spent this time in a relaxed and happy mood.

Think of it as a trip.

Although Lisko has never been to Germany several times in his life, he still has a deep feeling for this country.

As a capitalist country that provoked two world wars, there are various scenic spots and monuments with historical celebrities here. In 1945, it was split into two countries, East Germany and West Germany.

The reunification of the two Germanys was fully realized in 1990. It is precisely because of such a long and unique history that this country appears more glorious to outsiders.

Lisko had visited an introduction to German history before. At that time, a famous photographer captured the historical moment when the Berlin Wall, which spanned East Germany and West Germany, collapsed.

The photo is very clear and the angle is very unique, allowing us to completely see what happened at that time. At that time, the Berlin Wall was "collapsing". I ran to the cement wall that still divided the east and west cities and joined the soldiers standing guard.

Yes, it is fashionable to buy a piece of wall painted red and green that is cut out of the wall.

And now Berlin is completely brand new, with earth-shaking changes from before. Now Berlin is the capital of the entire Germany. The Berlin Wall that was divided in the past has now become a new economic development zone, where towering buildings are everywhere.

Cloud buildings and various modern buildings.

The Berlin Film Festival is held in the center of this economic development zone, on a square called Posten.

Berlin's abortion induction was not held here before. I heard that it was moved to this square around 2000. This square was invested and built by the German Mercedes-Benz Car Company. Its overall shape is similar to the palace of China.

Well-like complex of mixed-use commercial buildings.

Inside this building, there is a luxurious theater with 2,000 seats, and its name is the Berlin Film Festival Palace.

"It's really spectacular."

Zhang Li has never closed his mouth of surprise since he came to this square. Looking at the magnificent and brilliant theater in front of him, I believe every filmmaker will have the same feeling. If his works can be screened here

If so, it would be an honor for every practitioner.

Of course, there may be more magnificent theaters in the world than this theater, but what makes this theater special is that it only provides the opportunity to play films that have been recognized by the Berlin Film Festival, such as those films that have entered the main competition unit.

At this time, there is a showing sign at the door of the theater. From the introduction poster outside, we can know that this film is a German film called "The Turin Horse" and the director is a person named Béla Tarr.

Hungarian director.

This director is also very famous internationally. He has been engaged in the shooting of art films and has won many awards. Moreover, "The Turin Horse" is also a favorite to win awards at this film festival!

Originally, Zhang Li wanted to go in and see the quality of this film, but he was dissuaded by Lisko. After all, their main goal this afternoon was to get familiar with the surrounding buildings and attractions. Watching a movie was not something they had done before.

Within the plan.

And since you have come to attend the Berlin Film Festival, you will have countless opportunities to watch movies, so why waste your time on it on the first day you come here?

Next to this huge cinema, there is also a movie theater that specializes in the film and television industry. It was invested and built by Japan's Sony Corporation. It is also quite famous as the venue for the Berlin Film Festival. The chance of winning some awards is not that great.

High-quality shortlisted films give these directors who are engaged in art film shooting a chance for their works to be successfully released.

It should be said that in the current world economy, Japanese companies have great advantages and have corresponding investments all over the country. Moreover, despite Japan's small country, there are still quite a lot of domestic consortiums. Although the Plaza Project

Their economy was emasculated, but after so many years of catching up, it has regained new vitality.

Next to the cinema is a famous film museum, which stores many films shot by internationally famous crews and props from the time for all tourists to watch.

Another function of this film museum is to record the development trajectory of film history. From the first silent films to the current sound films, and to the recently popular 3D films, it can be said to have witnessed the historical process of the continuous progress of the film industry.

The two of them spent more than an hour in the film museum. Zhang Li enthusiastically took Liske and took photos with all the souvenirs stored inside. This seemed to be evidence that they had truly come to the Glass Film Exhibition.

By the time they walked out of the museum, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, even though Lisko was full of energy and felt tired after walking for such a long time, he took Zhang Li to the cafe next door, and the two of them bought something.

I had two cups of coffee and sat on the wicker chair under the parasol. While leisurely tasting the taste of German-style coffee, I looked at the crowds of tourists in the square.

Speaking of which, the Berlin Film Festival has a great stimulating effect on Berlin's local economy and the number of tourists. During the 12-day Berlin Film Festival, relevant departments made statistics and found that the number of visitors increased to 400,000 compared to usual times.

The number has almost created the history of the film festival in its 50 years.

This number is a great stimulus to economic growth for Berlin, which has a total population of 3.5 million.

Among these people are movie fans, tourists, and people working in the film and television industry. Most of them are international film producers from various countries who come to the film festival specifically to seek opportunities.

These film producers are like participating in a Taobao conference, looking for products that may bring benefits to themselves among many works, and then buying them at low prices, taking them back to their own countries for screening, or making them into DVD peripherals for sale.

Go to the whole country.
