Gu Changwei's achievements from a child who loves painting to today are inseparable from his efforts.

Gu Changwei said that he was particularly impressed by the changes in China during that period described in the film. At that time, he worked as a photographer for three Hollywood films in the United States, and occasionally returned to China to sensitively discover the changes in China. "In fact, we are all inside." . He condensed this almost 10 year in beginning of spring. "If people want to survive, they must compromise. If people want to live a better life, they will be very different from their original ideals. " Peacock was a movie two years ago, and Gu Changwei hasn't made a movie for almost two years. He said that he had almost forgotten the experience he had accumulated when filming Peacock, and he always felt that he was a novice, a little nervous and excited, and some had no bottom. I have a passion for making movies because I want to tell others a lot of life experiences and feelings. More complicated than a peacock. When it comes to Gu Changwei's films, we always compare Peacock with beginning of spring. Gu Changwei said that beginning of spring is more complete, complex and grand than Peacock. He wants to portray "ordinary people" through beginning of spring, to portray the group image of an era and to tell the lives and feelings of ordinary people. "No one wants to make the same mistake. Beginning of spring is certainly not as boring as Peacock. More is mixed with sadness and joy, and more viewers should like it. Including myself. " Beginning of spring stills

Wang Cailing is against the times. Peacock is about a family. She looks at the society from the family: the elder sister is a martyr, the elder brother is utilitarian and the younger brother is negative. They are more like three different attitudes towards life. Beginning of spring has written six people, including artistic youth who are divorced from reality and people who enjoy themselves in the triviality and triviality of life. They are all people who struggle for their ideals. In a sense, the dilemma people face in beginning of spring is more complicated than Peacock. "The era that my sister faces is an era of imprisonment, which imprisons everyone; In the era of Wang Cailing, it seems that everyone has freedom and everyone has opportunities. It's actually more complicated. The tragedy of my sister is that the times have turned against her, and the tragedy of Wang Cailing is that she has turned against the times. " In order to play Wang Cailing, Jiang gained 30 pounds, developed buck teeth, and smeared black spots and acne marks. After putting on makeup, she was afraid to go anywhere. Gu Changwei said that in his heart, Wang Cailing was beautiful, and he was deeply impressed by her unremitting pursuit of ideals. "For Cai-ling wang, it's unfortunate that she looks like this, but it's not ridiculous. Those beautiful girls are very lucky. They have more opportunities to realize their dreams, but Wang Cailing doesn't. For her, the gap between ideal and reality is even greater. " At the end of beginning of spring, Gu Changwei specially filmed such a scene: Wang Cailing finally sang "Love for Art" on the luxurious stage as the chief soprano of the Central Opera House. This is Wang Cailing's fantasy, and the director turned it into a concrete and visible scene with film. It is Gu Changwei and Li Yong who give comfort to those who struggle for their ideals. Compared with peacocks, the age of beginning of spring has been delayed by 20 years, and the decade from 1988 to 1998 is an era of convergence of eastern and western ideas and rapid economic development. Gu Changwei said that the scenery of Baotou was chosen because the urban construction here has many characteristics, not only the very hot old city, but also the splendid buildings of the second industrial period. At the same time, just like what was printed on the clothes of the crew, "After beginning of spring passed, there was no sign of spring in the city, but the wind was really different." It is the best expression of the theme of the film. "I remember when my father left, it was not far from beginning of spring." The last sentence in Peacock laid the groundwork for the arrival of beginning of spring. In a rapidly changing era, Gu Changwei's concern is calm and sympathetic to those who persist in their ideals. Spring has come, but people bow their heads in front of reality, but Gu Changwei said, "It is not a tragedy to be farther and farther away from the ideal."
