'''Gu Changwei''' (born 12 December 1957) is a Chinese [[cinematographer]] and [[film director]]. Gu was born in [[Xi'an]], [[Shaanxi]] in the [[People's Republic of China]].

==Career==
Gu Changwei began his cinematic career in the now legendary 1982 class of the [[Beijing Film Academy]], today known as the [[Cinema of China#Rise of the fifth generation|Fifth Generation]]. Trained as a cinematographer, Gu was assigned to the [[Xi'an Film Studio]] after graduation where he served as a primary collaborator with classmates [[Chen Kaige]] and [[Zhang Yimou]] on their early films, notably ''[[King of the Children]]'' (for [[Chen Kaige]]) and ''[[Red Sorghum (film)|Red Sorghum]]'' (for [[Zhang Yimou]]), both in 1987.<ref name=Encyclopedia>Zhang, Yingjin & Xiao, Zhiwei (1998). "Gu Changwei" in ''Encyclopedia of Chinese Film''. Taylor & Francis, p. 181. {{ISBN|0-415-15168-6}}.</ref> Since then, Gu has worked with both men on multiple occasions, including on Chen's magnum opus, 1993's ''[[Farewell My Concubine (film)|Farewell My Concubine]]''. Like fellow cinematographer [[Zhao Fei]], Gu has had the opportunity to work with major American directors as well, with Tony Drazan, in his filmed adaptation of Hurlyburly and most notably with [[Robert Altman]], on his film ''[[The Gingerbread Man (film)|The Gingerbread Man]]'' (1997).

===Directing===
Beginning in 2005, Gu Changwei branched out into film direction with his debut ''[[Peacock (2005 film)|Peacock]]'', a three-hour-long epic about a small family in the 1970s and 1980s. The film was well received and won the [[Jury Grand Prix|Jury Grand Prix-Silver Bear]] at the 2005 [[Berlin International Film Festival]].<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117918249.html?categoryid=1886&cs=1|title= 'Carmen' cops gold| author=Meza, Ed| magazine= [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date=2005-02-21| access-date=2008-05-31}}</ref> His sophomore feature, ''[[And the Spring Comes]]'', was released in 2007.
