Mr. Ji Xianlin, a well-known scholar, pointed out: "There are only four cultural systems in the world with a long history, a vast area, a self-contained system, and far-reaching influence: China, India, Greece, and Islam, and there is no fifth; And there is only one place where these four cultural systems converge, which is the Dunhuang region of China, and there is no second one. ”

Located on the Silk Road, the main route of transportation from ancient China to the Western Regions, Central Asia and Europe, Dunhuang once had a thriving trade activity. Famous for its grottoes and murals. It is the location of the Mogao Grottoes, the World Heritage Sites, and the border passes of Yumen Pass and Yangguan. And it is located at the intersection of GS, QH and QJ, with Sanwei Mountain in the east, Mingsha Mountain in the south, desert and Lop Nur in the west, Gobi in the north, and the remaining veins of the Tianshan Mountains. Surrounded by the Gobi Desert, it is known as the "Gobi Oasis".

When Di Yun arrived here, it was already the afternoon of the 28th.

On the twenty-fifth, I went shopping with my girlfriend for a long time, and successfully slept in a room at night, only sleeping in the same bed for one night, half an arm's length apart. Well, it's a joke that a man and a woman can sleep in the same bed and have a distance in between, and they finally hugged each other, but they didn't do anything else. The main thing is that neither of them wants to squander the first time so hastily.

Let's just assume that Di Yun is also the first time......

The girlfriend on the 26th returned to the capital with the crew, Di Yun went to visit his parents, spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, called Lai Shuiqing, and then took the train to Gansu overnight.

This side was called Guazhou in ancient times, and there is a very famous saying: Eat watermelon by roasting the stove. This means that there is a large temperature difference between day and night. At five o'clock, the heat quickly subsided after the sun set in the west, and the temperature also dropped, and it was just the right amount of coolness.

Di Yun walked out of the station and moved his stiff body slightly. Then the pager received a message: exit the intersection to turn left.

He turned to the left, turned a few corners, and appeared at the intersection, standing there with his bag and looking left and right.

"Hello, you're Mr. Diyundi, right?" A little brother stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, I'm Diyun."

"Ha, that's right, my name is Wang Yi, the staff in the crew, come and pick you up, just call me Xiao Wang."

"Hello, hello." Di Yun hurriedly shook hands warmly.

Xiao Wang drove a jeep that was so muddy that he couldn't see the old and new, and it looked quite domineering.

Di Yun asked curiously, "This is the crew's car?" “

Xiao Wang shook his head with a smile and said: "The crew only brought some things for filming when they came from Taiwan Island, and this car was rented here." ”

"Oh. You also came from Taiwan Island together? Mandarin is spoken quite smoothly. ”

Xiao Wang shook his head again: "I'm not from Taiwan, my ancestral home is in southern Fujian, and I just work on Taiwan Island." I have never been to the mainland before, but this time I have seen the vastness of the great northwest of the motherland, which is completely different from the flowing water minor in the south. ”

Di Yun nodded, it was indeed different. The south side will make people feel the softness of lingering, while the northwest will make people feel the sky is high and wide, just looking at the blue sky can give birth to a heroic.

"Hey, Brother Di, do you have thick clothes?"

"Thick clothes? No. Di Yun looked at his light bag and shook his head, "I guess it's not too cold in summer, so I only brought two changes of short sleeves and shirts." ”

"That's not going to work." Xiao Wang said, "I didn't bring thick clothes when I first came, and the temperature was almost close to zero at night, so I was just freezing stupid." You hurry up and get two thick clothes. ”

Di Yun was kind and asked, "Then where is there a shopping mall here, let's go over first, and I'll get two?" ”

"I've only been here for a week, and I'm not familiar with it, and I bought that thick coat from a small roadside shop, do you think it's okay?"

"Don't pay attention to it, just keep warm." Di Yun said.

"That's fine, I'll pull you over."

bought a thick military coat and a pair of warm pants, and then went to the hotel where the crew stayed.

The established location of the Dragon Gate Inn is in an open field near Crescent Spring, and the crew falls in Crescent Spring Town.

This is already the edge of the desert, and you can see the high and low undulating sand dunes not far away, stretching to the end of the sky. The boundless sea of yellow sand is dotted with clusters of green, injecting vitality into the otherwise silent sea of sand.

When Di Yun saw the desert for the first time, he was still slightly excited. I didn't dare to open the window, afraid of the flying sand, and leaned on the glass to look at the wonders outside.

The sun was gradually swallowed up by the sea of sand, and a pillar of smoke rose from the side of a dead old tree not far away, rushing into the sky. So he saw the majestic scene of "the desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river" in Wang Wei's poem.

Turning his head curiously, he asked Xiao Wang, who was driving, "What's the situation over there?" ”

"I see this situation every day, and I was curious when I first came, but when I finally went over and asked, I realized that these are tourists, bringing their own tents, and experiencing the life of the desert."

"Heh, it's quite emotional."

Xiao Wang smiled: "There are also some who ride motorcycles through the desert. ”

"Riding a motorcycle through the desert? Fierce enough! Di Yun felt crazy enough, if he got lost inside, he probably wouldn't even be able to find the body. He felt that he couldn't do such a crazy thing, but it didn't prevent him from worshipping these people who had the courage to push the limit.

"Yes, but I've heard from the locals that you can always see weathered bones and rusty motorcycles inside."

"Tsk." Di Yun slammed his mouth.

After a while, I remembered a question and asked, "Let's shoot on the edge of the desert, what if we encounter wind and sand?" ”

"Uh... Probably not. Xiao Wang also came to the desert for the first time, and said uncertainly, "It's just a marginal area, there shouldn't be a blockade, otherwise these towns would have been submerged a long time ago." ”

"Oh, yes." Di Yun nodded.

Crescent Springs is just a small town, and the hotels in it are not as good as the hotels in the big cities, but it is the best place to stay here.

Di Yun is not a big name, and naturally it will not cause any violent reaction after coming, Lai Shuiqing received him, arranged a place to live, and let him go into the room to wash up first, and go to the dust.

The dinner was not sumptuous, a simple dinner, and the staff and actors in the crew all took a look.

The producer of this drama is Yang Peipei, a gold-medal producer on Taiwan Island, and there are three directors, namely Lai Shuiqing, Li Huimin and Jiang Minghai. However, this drama is filmed in two parts, one part is the scene on the side of the Longmen Inn, on the side of Dunhuang, and the other part is on the side of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, which is not here. So the director is only Lai Shuiqing and Jiang Minghai.

There are many actors, and Di Yun only knows two of them.

One is Ma Jingtao, who plays the male protagonist in this drama, he remembers that this person later played Zhang Wuji, and he has some impressions. As for Chen Hong, who played another Qiu Moyan, he was deeply impressed. has seen many times in TV series, especially Wang Zixuan in "Water and Clouds" and Princess Taiping in "Daming Palace Ci", which left a deep impression on him, just because of this woman, he even watched "Water and Clouds" twice.

It just so happened that this woman was sitting next to him, and during the banquet, he raised his glass and said, "Sister Chen, I toast you, your performance of "Water and Clouds" is very good, I have watched it twice." ”

"Thank you." Chen Hong picked up his wine glass, took a sip and said with a smile: "The Dragon Boat Festival you played in Brother Kai's "Fengyue" is also good. ”

Brother Kai? Seeing that the call was quite intimate, he asked curiously, "Sister Chen and Director Chen are acquainted?" ”

Chen Hong pursed his lips and chuckled, and everyone else at the table laughed.

Di Yun didn't know why, and scratched his head.

Lai Shuiqing said: "It's not just familiarity, I will get the certificate at the end of the year." ”

"Huh?" Di Yun didn't expect this to be Brother Chen Kai's girlfriend, or even a prospective daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly said, "Congratulations." ”

"Thank you."

Xia Wenxi plays the heroine Jin Xiangyu in the play, and jokes at this time: "Xiao Di likes the dead and alive that my sister likes in the play, why don't you even care about it at this time?" Just drinking with Sister Chen? ”

When they met for the first time, Di Yun was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of joke that was too large, so he stood up awkwardly and filled his wine glass and said, "Respect! Definitely respectful! ”

After raising his head and drinking, he said, "Come, Brother Ma, let's have a drink too." ”

"And Brother Lai and Brother Jiang."

He is the shallowest among these people in terms of seniority and age, and his posture is very low, and Yishui's sister and brother call over.

In the next two days, the crew was busy preparing. He was idle, and on the 29th, he followed the staff to the filming location "Dragon Gate Inn" to have a look.

The inn is built on a desert beach at the edge of the desert, and you can even feel the fine sand blowing from the sand dunes when you stand in front of it.

The inn has two floors, covering an area of not small, and it looks like it is newly built, and when I inquire, I realized that it was really built by the crew. Just to make a TV series, to build such a house on the edge of the desert, it will cost more than ten or two hundred thousand, tsk, it's really a lot of money.

The staff was busy setting up the scene, and he casually looked around the house, then walked a little further and stood on the sand dunes and looked out into the desert.

The dead sand sea is majestic and quiet, vast and misty, with constant ups and downs, and people suddenly seem so small when they stand in it. The sun shone on it with ten thousand points of light, sprinkled with urine, and disappeared in an instant, and then it was covered by quicksand, leaving no trace.

On the last day of September, the wind suddenly blew, and the sky was full of dust, so he didn't bother to go out for a stroll again, and sat in the town hotel to read the script.

Until the first day of October......

ps: It's a new week, ask for a ticket to rush to the list.
