The flight from Hong Kong to Beijing landed slowly at Beijing Capital Airport in the afternoon, in addition to his assistant Ouyang Lan, Gu Chen only brought two bodyguards, and the four of them just walked out of the exit and saw a person holding a card, which said 'Mr. Gu Chen' four words, Gu Chen recognized the person holding the card at a glance, it was Gu Jinyuan, the director of "Huanzhu Gege", and Gu Chen was still his own family.

Gu Jinyuan is actually only in his forties, but he looks a little old, and people who don't know him can easily think that he is already in his fifties, a little thin, bald, only a little gray hair on both sides, with a pair of glasses, giving people the feeling of a scholar.

According to Li Zhuanglie, this Gu Jinyuan is indeed a scholar-type director, who is not fancy, does not talk much, attaches importance to practical work, and has rich knowledge, is very good at studying Chinese and foreign ancient literature, and is good at shooting costume dramas and realistic historical dramas. Gu Chen had a respect for such a person, so when he shook hands with Gu Jinyuan, he said politely: "Director Lao Gu has made a special trip to pick up the airport." ”

"Chen Shao is polite, you specially flew all the way from Hong Kong to Beijing to visit the class, I should come to pick up the airport, the hotel is ready, let's go."

Two black Volkswagen Santana sedans were parked on the side of the road outside the airport, and the group walked to the side of the car, Gu Jinyuan said apologetically: "Because I don't know how you are coming, the time is too rushed......

Gu Chen interrupted Gu Jinyuan's words with a smile: "Director Gu, don't think of me as too expensive, it's good to have a car to sit in when you go out." ”

After saying that, he opened the door of a car and sat in. In this era, Chinese mainland has just been reforming and opening up for only a few years, and it is a time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, and few people in the country can own private cars, even in the capital Beijing.

Eight out of ten cars I saw on the road were government buses, and Gu Jinyuan, a Hong Kong native, was not familiar with the place here, so it was very good to be able to find him two Santanas.

The reason why I chose this place is that the Beijing Hotel is one of the only five-star hotels in Beijing, and the most important thing is that it is close to the Forbidden City, and it only takes five minutes to walk, which is convenient for Gu Chen to visit the crew.

When he came to the room and put down his luggage, Gu Chen asked Gu Jinyuan, "What about you, where do you live?" The conditions are okay, although everyone leaves Hong Kong to come to the mainland to film a lot of work, but after all, if you leave your hometown, you can make up for it in terms of living conditions. ”

"Xie Chen cares less, now the whole crew lives in the Jinwei Hotel not far from here, which was contacted by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of the mainland, and the accommodation conditions are good."

Gu Chen nodded and said, "That's fine, okay, you go and get busy with you, I'll contact you again if you need to." ”

"Okay, I won't disturb Chen Shao's rest." After speaking, Gu Jinyuan turned around and left, in order to pick up the airport at the airport, he handed over the filming work this afternoon to an assistant director in charge, although this assistant director was taught by him, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his apprentice, but he was still a little uneasy, and hurriedly walked out of the hotel towards the Forbidden City, which can be clearly seen not far away.

Standing in front of the window, Gu Chen looked at Beijing, which still looked a little 'primitive', he had been to Beijing several times in his previous life, when Beijing was full of high-rise buildings and traffic, it was completely an international metropolis, and it was difficult to associate it with the current scene of one person and one bicycle.

After dinner, he walked aimlessly along the sidewalk on the side of the road, looking at the scenery on the side of the road and the pedestrians who passed by from time to time.

In fact, almost every pedestrian who walks by will look at him with curious eyes, or for a while, the obviously different costumes make people see at a glance that they are from abroad, and foreigners are still a mysterious existence for mainlanders in the early days of reform and opening up.

When another man wearing a Red Army hat and a military green factory uniform drove past on an old bicycle, Ouyang Lan said: "It feels a little weird, as if I have suddenly come to a completely different world, it feels quite unreal." ”

Gu Chen smiled slightly, he also had a similar feeling, after all, what he saw and heard now was only seen on TV in his previous life or in this life.

At this time, the group of four people had already walked to Tiananmen Square, and they all walked here, Gu Chen naturally wanted to go to the crew to take a look, but as soon as he walked across the Jinshui Bridge, he was blocked by the guards, this doorman was wearing a military uniform, his clothes and expression were meticulous, there was no doubt that he was a soldier, he first gave a military salute, and then said: "These four comrades, the Forbidden City is closed, if you want to visit, please come back tomorrow morning." ”

Ouyang Lan and the two bodyguards didn't speak Mandarin well, so Gu Chen had to come forward and negotiate: "Comrade guard, aren't we here to visit, isn't there a crew from Hong Kong filming in the Forbidden City, we are here to find that crew, please be accommodating." ”

The guard looked at the four of them and quickly said, "I'm sorry comrade, according to the regulations, I can't let you in without a pass." ”

Seeing that the guard didn't look negotiable, Gu Chen didn't embarrass him, glanced at the guardroom, and saw that there was a phone on the table inside, so he proposed to borrow the phone to call, this time the guard didn't refuse again, and readily agreed, and then Ouyang Lan used the phone in the guardroom to make a call to Gu Jinyuan.

The reason why they want to borrow a phone from the guards is not that they didn't bring Big Brother, but that Big Brother has no signal at all on the mainland, and he can't call if he wants to.

A few minutes later, Gu Jinyuan came in a hurry on a bicycle. The guard obviously knew Gu Jinyuan, first saluted Gu Jinyuan, and then said to Gu Chen: "I'm sorry, I was also on business just now, I hope you can understand, now you can go in." ”

From the outside, I only feel that the Forbidden City is very big, and when I really come in, I will know how big the road is, that is not at all words can be described, but the Forbidden City of this era has not yet installed landscape lights, and the darkness shrouds this ancient palace that has lasted for hundreds of years, and the palaces are like giant beasts lurking in the dark, ready to choose people to devour at any time, Ouyang Lan approached Gu Chen a little timidly.
