Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 963: berlin sights 2

This kind of buying behavior of buying movies at a low price and then converting them into their own interests is very popular in many countries, and even 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, putting the film industry in various countries and many international film festivals in crisis, while the Oscar founded by the United States itself has become the largest in the world. the film awards agency.

Under this circumstance, the three major film festivals can still maintain their uniqueness and become a film selection agency other than the Oscars with their own methods and plans.

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

Changes have been made on the hardware side, and the software side has followed the trend. For so many years, the Berlin Film Festival has maintained its own characteristics and has not been in sympathy with other awards. With perseverance and long-standing cultural purpose.

It has always advertised its goal of giving the Berlin public, not just film professionals, the opportunity to see great films. "Discover new talent, new filmmaking trends and unique thematic content.

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

The "Panorama" project of this film festival has selected 76 works from 32 countries from 1,600 films submitted around the world, as well as Asian films such as Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea, in order to fully reflect the current world The face of the movie.

The Youth Forum has been continuously exploring the film circle. New directors who have just entered, such as Jia Zhangke's Xiao Wu, who we are most familiar with, were successfully discovered here, and then embarked on the road of international fame.

In addition, Asian films accounted for 33% of the Berlin Film Festival, so more and more film critics criticized the Berlin Film Festival for being a paradise for Asian carnivals through their own comments.

Regardless of external comments and this, it has never shaken the international status of the Berlin Film Festival and its uniqueness in the minds of all film and television practitioners.

And the film festival has also 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 have opened up this unique theme.

Countless film distribution companies have set up booths here, and nearly ten small screening rooms are showing films from various countries from morning to night. Capturing business opportunities, which may be the most important factor in attracting professional filmmakers. Professionals coming to the festival this year have increased from 4,000 in 80 years to 14,000 from 150 countries.

Coming to this city, it seems that everything is inseparable from movies. No matter tourists or pedestrians, there is only one central point for them to talk about, and that is the Berlin Film Festival that is about to open. Lisko seems to be infected by this atmosphere. arrive. Listening to the group of people sitting at the table next to them discussing the films they like, the films 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 during these 67 hours, his biggest impression of Berlin may only be one word, and that is that it is ugly.

Compared with the romantic Paris and London in the United Kingdom, as well as the big cities such as Los Angeles and New York in the United States, Berlin is not very impressive. It is difficult to describe it as beautiful and beautiful, except for the occasional sight under the linden tree. The European-style classical and solemn, as well as the old churches and monuments that occasionally escaped the ravages of war, the most seen here are the rows of slab-style residential buildings.

There are also abandoned autocratic factories, half-built buildings left over from the war, and new glass buildings and office buildings that were built uniformly.

Although Lisko is an outsider in the construction industry, he has to say that this city really has no beauty at all. At first glance, the first thought that pops up in my heart is sadness.

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

Realism, as the name implies, abandons the beauty of the previous buildings, returns the building to its own usefulness, without a trace of waste and excess, and tries to maximize the usefulness of the building. This brutish 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 imaginative geometric patterns, all made of unpolished concrete prefabricated panels. Yes, full of futuristic and technological sense.

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

It can be said that if there is a choice, most people may not put the first stop of their trip 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 unwittingly forms a unique avant-garde and uninhibited personality.

This city can always bring you some unique surprises~www.readwn.com~ For example, if you think that Berlin is probably this ugly, but it brings you another side of shock.

You can see the city's bravery in facing up to history, as well as the vigorous development of its cultural industry.

You have just passed the rich and historical museum with one foot, and the next second you may meet young people in avant-garde clothes who are happily graffiti.

In this building are towering towers and office buildings, the next second you may be in the tranquil 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 first 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, so you can't help but dance with your body.

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