Lisko’s American Life

After lunch, Lisko and Zhang Li had already made arrangements for the afternoon, so although they were very unwilling, the crew members were still very gracious, they said their farewells, 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 participate in various receptions to expand their network. next job opportunity.

On the other hand, Zhang Li and Li Sko are much more relaxed. According to their plan, today they are going to visit the venue of the Berlin Film Festival, and at the same time wander around the various scenic spots around them. Think of your itinerary as a trip.

Although Lisko has not 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 successively, there are various scenic spots and monuments of historical celebrities here. In 1945, it was split into two countries, East Germany and West Germany. It was in 1990 that the unification of Germany and Germany was completely realized. It is precisely because of such a long and unique history that this country looks more glorious to outsiders.

Lisko had previously visited an introduction to German history. At that time, a famous photographer captured the historical moment of the collapse of the Berlin Wall between East and West Germany.

The photos are very clear, and the angle is very unique, which can completely see the situation that happened at that time. At that time, the Berlin Wall was "collapsing", and it was fashionable to run to the concrete wall that still divided the east and west cities, take a photo with the soldiers on guard, and buy a piece of the wall that was carved out of the wall and painted red and green.

And now Berlin is completely new, with earth-shaking changes from before. Now Berlin is the capital of the whole of Germany. The Berlin Wall, which was divided in the past, has become a new economic development zone at this time, where towering buildings and various modern buildings are everywhere.

The location of the Berlin Film Festival is at the center of this economic development zone, on a square called Bostein.

The place where Berlin induced labor was held was not here. It is said that it was moved to this square around 2000. The square was invested and constructed by the Mercedes-Benz Motors Corporation of Germany. The overall shape is similar to that of Wangfujing in Huaguo, a complex of commercial buildings.

In this building, there is a luxurious theater with 2,000 audience seats. Its name is Berlin Film Festival Palace.

"It's really spectacular."

Since Zhang Li came to this square, he has never closed his overly surprised mouth. Looking at the magnificent theater in front of him, I believe that every filmmaker will have the same feeling. If his works can be screened here It is an honor for every practitioner.

Of course, there may be more magnificent theaters than this theater in the world, but the reason why this theater is 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.

At this time, there is a sign showing that it is being screened at the entrance of the theater. From the introduction poster outside, we can know that this film is a German film called "The Horse of Turin", and the director is a filmmaker named Bella Tarr. Hungarian director.

This director is also well-known internationally, has been engaged in the shooting of art films, and has been recognized by many awards, and this Turin horse is also a big hit for this film festival!

Originally, Zhang Li wanted to go in to see the strength of this movie, but he was dissuaded by Lisko. After all, their main goal this afternoon was to familiarize themselves with the surrounding buildings and scenic spots. Watching a movie was not their previous goal. within the plan.

And since I have participated in the Berlin International Film Festival, there are countless opportunities to watch movies, so why waste time on it on the first day of coming here?

Next to this huge cinema, there is also a film broadcasting hall specializing in the film and television industry. It was invested and built by Sony Corporation of Japan. The location of the Berlin Film Festival is also quite famous. The chances of winning some awards are not so great. Gao's shortlisted films give these directors who are engaged in art film shooting a chance to make their works successful in the world.

To say that in the current world economy, Japanese companies have great advantages, and they have corresponding investments all over the country. In addition, although Japan is a small country, there are still quite a lot of domestic consortia. Although the Plaza Project Castrated their economy, but after so many years of catching up, it has re-emerged with new vitality.

Next to the cinema is a famous film museum, which stores many mother generations filmed by internationally famous crews and props at that 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 film to the current sound film, and to the recently popular 3D film, which can be said to have witnessed the continuous progress of the film industry.

It took two people in the film museum for about an hour. Zhang Li enthusiastically took Lisko to take a group photo with all the souvenirs stored inside. This seemed to be a proof that they really came to the Glass Film Festival.

By the time we walked out of the museum, it was three or four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Lisko was full of energy and felt tired after walking for such a long time, so he took Zhang Li to the nearby coffee shop, and the two bought I drank two cups of coffee and sat on the wicker chair under the parasol, while leisurely tasting the taste of German-style coffee, while watching the crowds of tourists in the square.

Speaking of which, the Berlin Film Festival has a great stimulating effect on the local economy and the number of tourists in Berlin. During the 12-day Berlin Film Festival, the relevant departments have made statistics, and the number of viewers has increased to 400,000 compared to usual. The number has almost created the history of the film festival in the past 50 years.

This number is a very stimulating economic growth for Berlin. It is necessary to know that the total population of Berlin is only 3.5 million.

Among these people are movie fans, tourists, practitioners in the film and television industry, and more international filmmakers from various countries who come to the film festival to seek opportunities.

Like participating in a Taobao conference, these film producers search for products that may benefit them from many works, and then buy them at a low price, bring them back to their own countries for release, or make them as DVD peripherals for sale. to the whole country.
