Chapter 8 The crew visited the class
The next weekend, Gu Wei called Feng Xiaogang to find out the filming location of the crew, and then went directly to visit the crew of "Big Shot".

After arriving at the Forbidden City, he went straight to the crew of "Big Shot", and a staff member at the door welcomed Gu Wei in.

When he entered the crew, he saw Feng Xiaogang sitting in front of the camera, staring at the screen. Gu Wei walked over and said with a smile, "Director Feng, the filming environment of your crew is really good."

Feng Xiaogang heard the voice, turned around and saw Gu Wei, stood up and said, "Hey, Director Gu, come sit over here and see how my movie is going."

"Director Feng, you continue filming. I'll sit next to you for a while and not disturb you," said Gu Wei.

Gu Wei spent the entire morning watching Feng Xiaogang filming on the crew. From the switching of lenses, the matching of lighting and colors to the movements of the actors, Feng Xiaogang indeed had a different understanding of filming.

In China, when it comes to film color rendering, director Zhang Yimou is the first choice. Gu Wei thought to himself that when he has the chance, he must go to the crew of Director Zhang and Director Chen to learn how they match film shooting lenses and colors.

After watching the crew for a long time, as Feng Xiaogang shouted "Call it a day", the entire crew ended the morning filming. Then Gu Wei saw Ge You and Rosamund Kwan walking towards this side.

Just as Gu Wei was about to say hello, he heard Feng Xiaogang next to him say, "Teacher Ge, Teacher Guan, let me introduce you. This is my friend Gu Wei, the Golden Bear Award-winning director."

Then he turned to Gu Wei and said, "Director Gu, let me introduce you."

"I grew up watching the movies of Teacher Ge and Teacher Guan, so of course I know them, but this is the first time I've seen them in person, haha."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Wei spoke first.

"Hello, Teacher Ge, Teacher Guan, I am Gu Wei from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy," he said, extending his hand and shaking hands with them.

"Director Gu, I've heard of your name for a long time, and Director Feng has mentioned you many times. When I saw you today, you really look young. Compared with you, I feel old," Ge You said humorously.

"Hello, Director Gu, I am Hong Kong actress Rosamund Kwan," Rosamund Kwan said to Gu Wei in not very fluent Mandarin.

"Okay, don't stand here. I've asked someone to book a restaurant. Let's have lunch together and then we can have a good chat," Feng Xiaogang said to the people in front of him.

In the private room, besides Gu Wei, Feng Xiaogang, Ge You and Rosamund Kwan, there were also screenwriters from the crew, Li Xiaomeng and Shi Kang. Gu Wei didn't know them either, so he just greeted them politely and turned around to chat with Ge You.

"Teacher Ge, I have watched your movie 'To Live' more than once. Your acting is really good," Gu Wei praised Ge You.

"Whether he has acting skills or not is easy to say. I just remember that after filming this movie, I was so hungry that my belt loosened," Ge You said with a humorous smile.

"Teacher Ge is really humorous, haha," Gu Wei laughed when he heard Ge You's words.

I have to say that Ge You is born with a sense of humor. When he stands in front of people, he can make people laugh without saying a word. He is also quite humorous, and Gu Wei still likes chatting with him.

"Teacher Ge, please leave me your contact information. If I have a suitable movie in the future, I will definitely invite you," Gu Wei said, taking out his mobile phone.

"Oh, then let me thank Director Gu first," Ge You said and gave his number.

"Director Gu, can I have your number so that we can contact each other in the future?" Rosamund Kwan said to Gu Wei.

"No problem, my number is 1... Teacher Guan, please write it down," Gu Wei said very politely.

"Director Gu, if there is a suitable role in your movie in the future, don't forget me. We can negotiate on your salary," Rosamund Kwan wrote down Gu Wei's phone number and said to him.

"Director Gu, you have left your contact information for Teacher Ge. When do you plan to shoot the next movie? Have you decided on the investment for the script?" Feng Xiaogang asked.

"The new movie hasn't been decided yet, and the script hasn't been completed yet. I'm still considering whether the next movie should be an art film or a commercial film. Art films require a small investment, and I can invest in them myself with the copyright share from the previous film. If I make a commercial film, the investment will definitely be high. I've been thinking about this these days."

"Speaking of film investment, let me tell you, my movie is invested by Huayi Brothers. When your new movie is confirmed to need investment, tell me how much you need and I will help you talk to him then," Feng Xiaogang said to Gu Wei, patting his chest.

"Thanks, Director Feng, we'll talk about it later," Gu Wei didn't give him a definite answer.

He is not in the same situation now as he was last year when he was seeking investment. Both Light Media and China Film Group were eyeing his new movie and he has no shortage of investment.

The meal lasted until nearly two in the afternoon, and none of us drank any alcohol, mainly because we had to continue filming in the afternoon and were afraid that drinking would interfere with our work.

After dinner, Feng Xiaogang and his crew continued filming. Gu Wei took out some cash and asked the crew assistant to buy some drinks and snacks to distribute to the crew members. Everyone got one, thinking that since he came to visit the set, he must express his gratitude.

After distributing food and drinks to the crew members, Gu Wei said goodbye to Feng Xiaogang and prepared to go back. Feng Xiaogang did not try to keep him, as the crew was currently under tight schedule and had a heavy workload. He just made an appointment with him to come over and play a cameo role when he was free in a few days.

Watching Gu Wei's departing back, Feng Xiaogang picked up his cell phone and called Huayi Brothers.

After a while, the call was connected, and I heard the other end say, "Xiaogang, what's wrong? You're calling me at this time. Is there something wrong with the filming?"

"Mr. Wang, it's nothing big. I just want to ask if you are free in a few days. I want to introduce a director to you," said Feng Xiaogang on the other end of the phone.

"Who is it that's worth your special call to tell me?"

"Gu Wei, you've heard of him, right? He's a student from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department. He just won the Golden Bear Award this year. The media also reported on it a while ago."

.........

The next morning, Gu Wei went directly to the company. As soon as he entered the company, the employees surrounded him and said, "Boss, I heard that you visited the crew of "Big Shot" yesterday." "Boss, is Rosamund Kwan beautiful in person?"

"boss…"

"Don't you have to work anymore?" the company manager Wang Chen shouted. When the employees heard Wang Chen getting angry, they dispersed immediately.

Gu Wei saw this and said nothing. He went straight into the office and said to Wang Chen, "The company has quite a few employees now. In the next two days, you should purchase all the necessary office supplies and get two cars for your convenience."

"Okay, Boss, anything else?"

"There are some follow-up matters about the movie that need to be handled over at Guangguang. You go and take over it."

After explaining things to Wang Chen, he took a look at the media internet portal report, which reported that Gu Wei had visited the set yesterday.

"Golden Bear director Gu Wei visited the crew of Big Shot today."

"Directors Feng Xiaogang and Gu Wei had dinner with the main creative staff of the Big Shot crew."

"Tian Zhen questioned the fairness of the pop song award and refused to accept the award."

After watching the news for a while, Gu Wei took out his cell phone and called Dong Xuan. Ever since he and Dong Xuan exchanged contact information at the school social gathering, she has been texting Gu Wei every day these days and occasionally calling him to chat.

"Hey, do you have classes tonight? I want to invite you to dinner," Gu Wei said happily.

In the female dormitory of the 00 class of Beijing Film Academy, Dong Xuan, who received the call, said, "Yes, if you have time, see you at the school gate tonight."

"Who is it, Xuan'er? You look so happy. Are you dating someone?" Guan Yue said to Dong Xuan in the dormitory.

"Oh, no one, a friend asked me to go out for dinner tonight," Dong Xuan said helplessly.

"Hey, why does it sound like a man's voice? Tell me quickly, who is it?" Yin Xu, who was next to her, rushed over, hugged her and asked.

In the 00 undergraduate class, Dong Xuan and Guan Yue had the best relationship, followed by Yin Xu. Guan Yue was the one who later married Tong Dawei, and Yin Xu became Zhang Ziyi's sister-in-law. Among the girls in the acting class of Beijing Film Academy, only these three had some fame, and the others basically did not make it.

A few people played around in the dormitory for a while. Dong Xuan was so annoyed by them that she told the truth.

"Is that the director with the Golden Bear? Dong Xuan, tell me when you hooked up with him," Guan Yue has a generous personality and has the best relationship with Dong Xuan. She said directly in an urgent manner.

"It should be the last school party. I saw they left their contact information. I didn't expect the progress to be so fast," Yin Xu followed up.

"Oh, what are you two talking about? We are just ordinary friends," Dong Xuan said embarrassedly.

The relationship between the other people in the dormitory was not as good as theirs. Although they said nice things, they were a little jealous in their hearts. They were jealous that Dong Xuan was beautiful, and the teachers in the class liked her more, and now she was hooking up with the big director in the school.

They played around for a while, and then Yin Xu and Guan Yue helped her clean up.

"This one is good, and this one is also okay. Xuan'er, which one do you think looks better?" Yin Xu asked in the dormitory while holding two pieces of clothing.

"Our Xuanxuan is naturally beautiful and looks good in anything she wears," said Guan Yue.

"Come, let me put on beautiful makeup for you, and try to get the big director today," Guan Yue said as she pulled Dong Xuan to the dressing table.

Dong Xuan had no choice but to sit there helplessly and let the two of them toss her around.

.........

The weather in the capital is quite changeable in May. The average daytime temperature is over 20 degrees, which means you can wear short sleeves. At night, the temperature drops to only a dozen degrees.

Gu Wei was wearing a black coat and a mask, standing not far from the school gate. When he turned around, he saw Dong Xuan appear at the school gate. Then Gu Wei took off his mask and walked towards her.

I have to say that Dong Xuan, who was able to enter the Beijing Film Academy and was named the school belle, is indeed very beautiful, especially now, when she has just entered the school and still has a bit of immaturity on her face.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Dong Xuan said a little embarrassedly as she looked at Gu Wei who was walking towards her.

"I just arrived too. You look very good in this outfit," Gu Wei said, looking at her.

"Thank you, let's go. There are a lot of people at the school gate," Dong Xuan said to Gu Wei a little shyly, looking at the people coming and going at the school gate.

Then the two of them left the school gate side by side.

Gu Wei took Dong Xuan to a restaurant with a nice environment near the school. The two had a meal and chatted for more than an hour at the table. After the meal, they walked around the school and then sent Dong Xuan back to the dormitory.

Gu Wei had some feelings for her, but he just treated her as a friend and didn't want to do anything for her.

After sending Dong Xuan back to the dormitory, he went straight back to his residence. As soon as he got home, he received a text message from Dong Xuan asking him if he had arrived home. In the evening, Gu Wei chatted with her for a few more words, took a shower and went to rest.
