Guo Fucheng has been in contact with AIDS patients for three months, crying out for anti-discrimination
Gu Changwei hired 6 AIDS patients and admitted that some staff resigned as a result
Directed by Gu Changwei, Zhang Ziyi and Guo Fucheng starred in the film "Magic Gaiden", which tells the love story of a pair of AIDS lovers. In the film, Gu Changwei also boldly used 6 AIDS patients, who either played roles or worked on the crew. AIDS people participated in "Magic Gaiden", and the whole process of working and living with the cast and crew was also made into a documentary "Together".
"When we started filming, we were prepared that no one would be willing to show up, but in the end, three people volunteered to remove the cover, and today’s documentary," Together, "was produced," Gu Changwei said. Gu Changwei also admitted that it was difficult for people living with AIDS to join the crew, and even some staff members resigned for this. "Everyone had concerns at the beginning, and indeed two staff members resigned, but after getting along, the whole crew became good friends with them."
Jiang Wenli used practical actions to allay everyone’s concerns, "During the filming, I brought my children over and let them play with the infected and eat together. I personally told everyone that this will not be contagious!"
