Movie Network News(Text/Bai Xiaosha, Photo/Han Huawei) The anti-AIDS discrimination documentary filmed at the same time as Gu Changwei’s new film was premiered at the Beijing Foreign Languages Institute on December 1 on "World AIDS Day". Yin Li, director of the State AIDS Office and vice minister of health, introduced the AIDS prevention and control situation in our country, and Wei Yingying, the representative of the United Nations in China, also gave a warm speech. "Magic Gaiden" director Gu Changwei, young director Zhao Liang, Jiang Wenli, Zhang Ziyi, Guo Fucheng, Pu Cunxin, Cai Guoqing, Li Danyang and other main creators appeared one by one, personally promoting AIDS knowledge and calling on the society to give them this special group to face up to and care for. The four AIDS-infected people in the documentary showed up in tears after watching the movie, and the big stars hugged them warmly like old friends. In an instant, they cried on the stage, and the students were moved.
The most touching
Zhang Ziyi wiped tears for AIDS patients, and the stars were moved to tears and offered hugs
At first, they were looking for AIDS patients to volunteer for filming on the Internet. Since 2009, the crew has visited 6 or 7 provinces and cities in Northeast China, Shenzhen, Shanxi, Yunnan, Hebei, etc., and completed a survey of the current situation of AIDS-infected people with the camera. Several HIV-infected people in the documentary are actors from the "Magic Gaiden" crew, some are staff members, and there are also many unseen or shielded infected people, all of whom participated in the filming of the film to varying degrees. There are no actors and no scripts in this film, but the pain and discrimination suffered by HIV-infected people, and their difficult and careful living conditions are all displayed in front of the audience.
After the screening of the film, the four HIV-infected people in the film were already in tears when they came on stage to meet everyone. The sentence they said the most was "Thank you for not discriminating against me", which made the college students stand up and applaud it. The applause rang out in the audience for a long time. Overcoming the fear of being known that they are infected, they bravely stood up, just for this special group to get fair treatment: "We are patients, not sinners." The stars were also moved to tears and offered warm hugs to several patients one by one. Zhang Ziyi and Guo Fucheng even ignored the tears in the corners of their eyes and wiped away the tears of the children with their own hands. The stars used their influence and ideas to convey to everyone the following awareness: they are not terrible, they need dignity and more love.

The most tender
Guo Fucheng greets "How are you?" Zhang Ziyi’s little niece plays with AIDS children
"Together", as an anti-discrimination and anti-AIDS film, appeals to everyone to face and care for AIDS patients. When Guo Fucheng saw several AIDS-infected people in the audience, he said very moved: "I haven’t seen you for a few months, how are you?" Without special enthusiasm or special treatment, they can feel your love by greeting softly like long-lost friends.
In the film, Taotao, a 12-year-old boy infected with HIV due to mother-to-child transmission, falls to the ground with a cramping stomach and cries loudly, which makes everyone feel sad. Guo Fucheng, who often eats with the little boy during filming to help wipe his tears, said: "I believe that many people will feel that the infected person must not be touched without understanding it, but I think they need our care very much." Zhang Ziyi also revealed that her little niece once went to the set to find her, and the scene of playing video games and catching grasshoppers with Xiao Taotao’s peers made her very unforgettable: "I think this is the childhood that children should have. I really hope that the whole society can be like our crew, tolerant and accepting people affected by AIDS, and everyone can kiss and love each other."

The most surprising
Cai Guoqing dumped Zhang Ziyi as the "most unconscientious" Pu Cunxin buck tooth premiere villain
As an AIDS propagandist, Cai Guoqing was exposed by Zhang Ziyi. In the film, he played the role of the negative textbook "the most unconscientious". Not only did he discriminate against Zhang Ziyi, who was suffering from AIDS, but he also "threw her away and only gave her a bag of rice". The host Zhou Tao then joked to Guo Fucheng, who had already taken "wedding photos" with Zhang Ziyi: "Then congratulations on your happy wedding!" Cai Guoqing hurriedly explained that he was not "acting in the true colors", and he did not take 20 photos during the audition.
In addition, another more senior and China’s first AIDS propagandist, Pu Cunxin, is playing the villain for the first time, playing Zhao Quan, a sanctimonious and black-hearted businessperson in "Magic Gaiden", pretending to be a nouveau riche with a mouth full of buck teeth and a big comb, completely subverting the image of a just hero who was originally recognized by the audience. Pu Cunxin said that he was also hesitant to play the role well at the beginning, and also asked friends from the Ministry of Health. Later, he also figured it out. He felt that as long as it was for the promotion and prevention of AIDS, it didn’t matter what form or role it was. The key was to be able to take responsibility for disseminating information. And Jiang Wenli also made sacrifices again to support her husband Gu Changwei’s career. In the film, her image of a sturdy village woman in sloppy clothes, disheveled hair, and wielding a big broom is far from her previous gentle and virtuous appearance.
