Lisko’s American Life

This kind of buying behavior of buying films at a low price and converting them into their own interests is very popular in many countries, and even at present, nearly 80% of the companies in the world rely on this method to make profits.

Speaking of which, in the past 10 years, American culture represented by Hollywood has aggressively invaded the film industry of various countries, causing the film industry of various countries and many international film festivals to fall into crisis, while the Oscars founded by the United States have become the world's largest film awards jury.

Under such circumstances, the three major film festivals are still able to maintain their uniqueness and become other film selection agencies besides the Oscars. They also have their own methods and plans.

The plan of the Berlin Film Festival is not only to update its venue and theaters, but even the venue has been updated to make it more convenient.

Changes have been made in the hardware, and the software is also following the trend. For so many years, the Berlin International Film Festival has maintained its own characteristics, and does not go hand in hand with other awards. Holding the persistent and long-standing cultural purpose.

It has always advertised its goal to give the public in Berlin, not just film professionals, the opportunity to see excellent films. ""Discover new talent, new filmmaking trends and unique themed content.

Therefore, the Berlin Film Festival has set up a number of special topics such as "International Competition", "Film Panorama", "Youth Forum", "Master Review", "Children's Film", "German New Film".

The "Panorama" project of this year's film festival selected 76 works from 32 countries and Asian films such as Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea from 1,600 films submitted all over the world, in order to fully reflect today's world The face of the movie.

The Youth Forum has been continuously discovering the film industry. The new directors who have just entered, such as the most familiar Jia Zhangke's Xiao Wu, were successfully discovered here, and then embarked on the road to international fame.

Moreover, Asian films accounted for 33% of the Berlin Film Festival this time, so more and more film critics criticized the Berlin Film Festival for being reduced to a paradise for Asians through their comments.

Regardless of external comments and this, the international status of the Berlin Film Festival and its uniqueness in the eyes of all film and television practitioners will never be shaken.

Moreover, the film festival also specially opened up a special theme called the European film market. All the staff of the jury are well aware of the benefits that the Berlin Film Festival brings to all film and television practitioners, so they developed this unique theme.

Numerous film distribution companies have set up booths here, and nearly ten small screening halls are showing films from various countries from morning till night. Capturing commercial opportunities, which is perhaps the most important factor in attracting professional filmmakers. The number of professionals coming to the film festival this year has increased from 4,000 in 1980 to 14,000 from 150 countries.

When you come to this city, it seems that everything is inseparable from movies. No matter tourists or passers-by, there is only one central point of conversation, and that is the upcoming Berlin Film Festival. Lisko seems to be infected by this atmosphere arrive. Listening to the group of people sitting at the next table discussing their favorites, the few movies they have seen so far, as well as their unique themes and shooting techniques.

It has been almost 67 hours since Lisko got off the plane. To say that his biggest impression of Berlin during these 67 hours may be only one word, that is, it is ugly here.

Compared with those romantic Paris and London in the UK, as well as Los Angeles, New York and other big cities in the United States, Berlin looks unremarkable. It is difficult for people to describe it as beautiful and beautiful, except occasionally under the linden tree. The classical and solemn European style, as well as the old churches and monuments that occasionally escaped the devastation of war, are the most seen here. Rows of slab-style residential buildings.

There are also abandoned autocratic factories, half-built buildings left over from the war period, and new glass buildings and office buildings built in a unified manner.

Although Lisko is an outsider in the construction industry, he has to say that this city really has no aesthetic feeling at all. When people look at it at a glance, the first thought that pops up in their hearts is sadness.

But even so, through the introduction of the people next to him, Lisko still has some understanding that this is the experimental field of all modernist construction masters. After World War II, the whole of Germany was in a mess. This is simply the best test site for architectural masters. Everyone tried their best to give full play to their own whimsy and integrated their ideas into buildings.

Realism, as the name implies, abandons the beauty of the previous buildings and returns the buildings to their own use without a trace of waste and redundancy, trying to maximize the use of this building. This rough style has gradually become the mainstream of Berlin.

Although it looks ugly to outsiders, Berlin will still leave an indelible impression on you because of its unique concept, such as various imaginative geometric patterns, all made of unpolished concrete prefabricated panels It is full of futuristic and technological sense.

During the war, the roof of the Reichstag was blown up by enemy planes, and now architects have added a glass dome with unique ideas. This novel and ancient combination has become the latest landmark building in Berlin.

It can be said that if there is a choice, most people may not put the first stop of their travel abroad in the city of Berlin, but I have to say that this city may not have the romance of Paris and the vicissitudes of Rome. The mainstream is out of tune, but unknowingly formed a unique avant-garde and uninhibited personality.

This city can always bring you some unique surprises. For example, you think that Berlin is probably ugly, but it brings you another shock.

We can see the city's bravery in facing up to history, and the flourishing development of its cultural industry.

You have just passed by a museum rich in history, and the next second you may meet young people in avant-garde clothes graffiti on the street.

In this building are towering buildings and office buildings, the next second you may be in the quiet forest of Central Park.

At this end of the street is high-end luxury shopping, but at the end it becomes a flea market.

The previous building is a high-end and elegant concert hall, where classic classical music can be heard, and the next building is a well-known nightclub with explosive electronic dance music, which makes you unable to resist dancing along with your body.

The collision of tradition and novelty, the intersection of avant-garde and ancient, this city is old and vicissitudes, but it accommodates all life attitudes.
