golden moonlight
Chapter 89
When they finally hugged each other and fell asleep, Qu Haiyao and Rong Yi didn't just let go of the matter completely, they both had some grudges in their hearts.Rong Yi's uneasiness and Qu Haiyao's resentment were not so easy to dispel.
Coincidentally, Lou Yongrui had some problems with the editing of "Gu Zhai Long Corridor", and what he meant seemed to be that he had some disagreements with NUERA again.This kind of thing can't be done concisely. Lou Yongrui can't do anything by himself, but concisely works in a French winery. What's more, concisely did not participate in this project, so it is not suitable for him to come forward in person.Rong Yi didn't say anything, and flew to Hainan in the afternoon when she received Lou Yongrui's call.
And when he came back, Qu Haiyao might have already left Beijing.The two of them are actually a little fortunate for the sudden early separation. Sometimes when the big problems in the emotional relationship are solved, there will always be some small tails, and such small tails do not have any real harm, but only make the parties feel It's just a little unpleasant.When encountering this kind of thing, the best way is to give the "little tail" time to dry, and it will heal naturally after being separated for a while.
Although Qu Haiyao and Rong Yi have never communicated with each other on this point, they both tacitly understand this.It's just that for Qu Haiyao, the time of "separation for a while" might be too long to be tortured, so he put himself into a working state without saying a word.
Fortunately, the creative workshop will start soon.Lin Qi and Fan Chuzheng showed a very meticulous handling style from the beginning of the seminar, and most of the main crew members met face to face at the seminar.
The actor Xie Xiangguan who plays the second male lead Yan Li is the same age as Rong Yi. He has been in the film industry for many years and has never played a leading role. However, there are a few works that are worthy of praise. He is a familiar green leaf in the industry. Role.He has a wide range of roles, basically he has acted in all types of films on the domestic market, and the roles are also varied.
When Qu Haiyao saw him for the first time, he had a beard, but he was not slovenly. The trimmed beard made his face more rough, which at first glance could give people a strong deterrent.What's even better is that his facial features are somewhat similar to An Wuna's, and playing siblings is a natural fit.
As an actor who has been acting in movies since his debut, Xie Xiangguan is really professional in the filming process. An Wuna learned a lot from him on the first day of the meeting.Also professional was the shooting team formed by Fan Chuzheng. Lin Qi didn't know much about this, so he simply handed it over to Fan Chuzheng. Lin Qi didn't interfere with anything other than funding.
After getting along for a while, Lin Qi has also figured out Fan Chuzheng's temperament. He is a complete drama lunatic, and it is because he is this kind of temperament that he only wants to make a good movie, so Lin Qi dares to entrust him to form the crew.
The seminar discussed not only the creation-related details, but also the process planning, budget management, cost control, etc. of the entire project. The shares were mortgaged to get enough funds.
Qu Haiyao's eyes turned red immediately. Of course, he would not simply think that Lin Qi spent such a large amount of money for him, but he would not be so greedy that he would think that Lin Qi's big money had nothing to do with him.After getting along with Lin Qi for so long, Qu Haiyao can probably guess what Lin Qi's plans are, but in any case, for Qu Haiyao, he has only one thing to do now.
That is to shoot the movie well and play the role well.No matter to himself or to Lin Qi, he needs to hand in a sufficiently satisfactory answer, otherwise he can neither be responsible to Lin Qi nor to himself.
There is no way to be responsible for Rong Yi.
So when Fan Chuzheng proposed to let Qu Haiyao go to Xinjiang to experience life first, he himself was the first to agree.Originally, when Fan Chuzheng proposed to experience life, Lin Qi thought he was talking about going to Kashgar, but Fan Chuzheng shook his head.
"We must go to Kashgar. All of them have to go. The formalities are almost done there. But Qu Haiyaoguang can't go to Kashgar. Sabul is a Kazakh herdsman. He has to go to northern Xinjiang to learn from the herdsmen. how to live."
Lin Qi was speechless.Fan Chuzheng is right. In the play, Qu Haiyao needs to perform two life states, one is the relatively closed life of traditional Kazakh herdsmen, and the other is trying to integrate into the life of modern society.If his portrayal of the traditional life of nomads is not vivid enough, neither is his interpretation of trying to fit into modern life.
Qu Haiyao thinks so deeply, and even Fan Chuzheng's idea coincides with him.Afterwards, Fan Chuzheng made several requests to him: When going to experience life, don’t bring an assistant, try not to use any electronic devices, try not to have any contact with people in the outside world, even if the sky falls, wait until 20 days Let's talk about it after the experience is over.
"it is good."
Then Qu Haiyao was kicked to Xinjiang before everyone else.
He did not bring Guan Xiaojun here as agreed, and flew to Urumqi by plane with a luggage bag on his back.There was no one to pick up the plane in Urumqi, and Qu Haiyao felt that the social atmosphere here was different from the mainland when he got off the plane.Because it is very close to the port, there are many foreigners with deep eyes and high noses in the Urumqi airport, and most of them seem to be from Central Asia or Russia, and most of them are ethnic minorities with obvious characteristics in their clothes. They talk about Quhai Qu Haiyao was a little confused when he heard the language that Yao didn't understand, and he could switch between his native language and Chinese without any pressure.
The security in Xinjiang is indeed very strict. No matter where you go, you need to go through strict security checks. When entering the hotel, people and luggage need to be checked in all directions.Apart from the strict security checks and the rotten 3G network, there is not much difference between Urumqi and the inland cities. Fortunately, Qu Haiyao didn't plan to stay in Urumqi, and went to Yining City the next day. .
Qu Haiyao spent two days shopping in Yining.This is the backbone of Ili Prefecture, and you can see the Ili River that nourishes the soil and water in the city.The city itself is very small, and shared bicycles are not popular yet. The eldest sister from the canteen next to the Quhaiyaoguan Hotel borrowed a bicycle from her house, and walked around Yining City in two days.
He bought local cheese with the locals on the street, and the taste in the mouth was so weird that he almost spit it out, and the yogurt was quite different from the yogurt in his concept.The dates are big and sweet, and there are countless delicious fruits and dried fruits of various colors. Qu Haiyao hasn't had a good meal in the past two days. Just eating these things on the street makes his stomach bulge .
For Yining people, Qu Haiyao's confusing language switching system is almost a daily routine that everyone can master. When Qu Haiyao took a taxi from the airport to the hotel for the first time, the driver asked him directly in Kazakh Where are you going? He said "ah?" in a daze, and then the master asked him again in Mandarin, obviously he was very familiar with both languages.
This is a place where many nationalities blend and coexist.After entering Xinjiang, this feeling of multi-ethnic integration can be expressed everywhere. Qu Haiyao lived in the United States where ethnic and even racial integration was more in-depth when he was a child. Later, he returned to China and lived as a Han Chinese. This feeling of multi-ethnic coexistence has long been unfamiliar.Now that he has come to Yining, a place where everyone is used to coexistence, he will find this novel and strange, but he has become an incompatible individual.
That's how Sabur feels.When Sabul just left his hometown and went to Kashgar where his brother Ajestan once lived, he felt the same strangeness and incompatibility.Qu Haiyao immersed himself in such a strange feeling, and then he felt it.
Sabul will definitely miss his hometown very much, just like Qu Haiyao misses Rongyi very much now.
The guide that Fan Chuzheng contacted went to Qu Haiyao's hotel to pick him up early in the morning on the third day. He was a black and strong Han, so strong that Qu Haiyao could kill a cow with one punch.This guide used to be a tourist route from Beijing to Xinjiang, but later fell in love with Xinjiang, so he simply settled down in Xinjiang.
The guide drove a Land Cruiser.According to him, the road conditions in many places in Xinjiang are not very good. If you drive a less comfortable off-road vehicle, it will be a torture for both the driver and the driver.
"When I first entered Xinjiang, I pretended to be aggressive with my friends. The two of us drove a modified Wrangler with a raised chassis. It felt like..." There was an indescribable pain on the guide's dark face. Qu Haiyao laughed loudly: "The road conditions at that time were worse than now, right?"
"It's worse. At that time, there were not so many speed-limited road sections, and I didn't count them, so I liked to drive faster. Now many places have built new roads. At that time..." The guide shook his head unbearably, " Later, I never dared to drive a car with poor comfort.”
"Will you feel pain when driving on the road? I thought it would be the kind of feeling sore all over the body after waking up the next day after driving."
The guide shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When you drive, you will want to abandon the car and run away. But after driving for a while, you can't feel it anymore. It's not that the road has improved, but the scenery is so beautiful. People who enter Xinjiang for the first time usually feel that I can’t bear to sleep, there are beautiful scenery everywhere.”
Qu Haiyao jumped up.Not long after driving on the road, he discovered that what the guide said was true. People who have never been to Xinjiang cannot imagine what the scenery of Xinjiang is like.They are almost driving along the Yili River. The endless mountains seem to have no end. Obviously, the mountains here are lush and green, and the river is sparkling. When you turn a corner, you find that the mountains are sandy yellow, and sparse shrubs are sprinkled here and there. In the river valley, occasionally some animals that Qu Haiyao couldn't recognize appeared in the bushes.
"The rivers in Xinjiang are all like this." Seeing him surprised, the guide explained to him. "You seem to think that the river has stopped flowing, and it reappeared after a while, and the current is still very strong. The Yili River is not so willful, and the Tarim River is even more so."
Qu Haiyao's eyes were bright, and his nose fluttered slightly, like a long-dehydrated fish puffing its gills to absorb oxygen after splashing into the lake again.
"I must bring my brother to Xinjiang..." he murmured.The guide didn't know his relationship, thought he was talking about his real brother, so he didn't care, just smiled and said: "Then you can drive all the way in from Qinghai, the scenery will change even more. At first it was The landform of Yardang, if you can drive tens of hundreds of kilometers, it is still those flying sand and rocks, which is very spectacular. When your eyes can hardly stand it, a very beautiful lake suddenly appears, that change..." The guide shook his head with a look The stunning appearance, "It's hard for people who haven't seen it to imagine."
Qu Haiyao's appetite was completely whetted, and he kept asking the guide how to plan the itinerary.The guide was very talkative, and Qu Haiyao was a good chat partner. The two chatted enthusiastically along the way until lunch time. They found a noodle shop in a passing town and ate some noodles casually.The noodle shop was run by an ordinary Kazakh family. Neither the hostess nor her sister could speak Chinese. The guide ordered two servings of noodles in Kazakh. When they were served, Qu Haiyao realized that the soup noodles he thought were actually fried noodles.
Kazakhs seldom eat noodle soup, and their fried noodles look more like fried noodle skins to Qu Haiyao. When it comes to the end, there is a tangy smell of spices, which makes people's index fingers move.The entrance is really delicious, the noodles are fragrant and tough, and some kind of spice that Qu Haiyao can't taste is added in it, which is very appetizing.He was not very interested in pasta, but he ate such a large plate of noodles.
They were the only customers in the store, and the guide drove all morning, and felt a little sleepy after lunch.The hostess asked them to take a nap in the store before leaving, so the guide moved two chairs and lay down, but Qu Haiyao was in high spirits. Although he could not understand the language, he still communicated with the enthusiastic hostess with gestures and guesses. After getting up, the hostess asked him to pick grapes from the grape rack in the back yard and eat them.
Qu Haiyao was very excited, but also felt that he was taking advantage of others.The hostess said that all the grapes that could be picked had been picked. There was no man in their family, and the grapes on the high places could not be picked by the women, and they would rot if they hung there.So Qu Haiyao, led by the hostess, came down to the backyard, climbed up the ladder and picked all the bunches of grapes that could be picked, and picked two baskets in full.When the guide woke up and saw this windfall, he also laughed. They left a basket for the hostess, and the remaining basket was brought to the guide on the way.
He is the herdsman family who intends to bring Qu Haiyao to board this time.Regarding the family, the guide didn't say much to Qu Haiyao. This was what Fan Chuzheng meant, and he wanted Qu Haiyao to understand the status and life of the host family by himself.There are more speed-limited roads in the afternoon than in the morning, and the driving is more leisurely. Qu Haiyao didn't understand why there were so many speed-limited roads at first. After driving a little further, he saw a large group of bleating Only then did he understand the sheep.
Herdsmen on horseback are driving the flock of sheep across the road.Qu Haiyao had never seen so many sheep, and each one was fat and puffy, with their hips twisting and turning as they walked, looking funny and cute.
"Is this the Kazakh herding sheep? Wow, so the sheep are so cute!" Qu Haiyao, who had never had close contact with sheep since childhood, found it very novel, and the guide smiled. "The family you are boarding with also raises sheep, and then you can stay with the sheep every day."
"Do the herdsmen here raise sheep?"
"Raising cattle, sheep, and horses is what everyone lives on. Now that the transportation and economy are developed, more people come here to travel. During the peak season, we still do tourist business. But the peak season is short after all. It’s only been three or four months, and everyone usually grazes a lot.”
Slowly, Qu Haiyao felt how many people were grazing here.Along the way, he saw more and more herdsmen driving their cattle, sheep and horses leisurely passing by. When he first entered the county town, he saw two flocks of sheep meeting each other by the side of the road. ", Qu Haiyao knew for the first time that the cry of a sheep could be so magnificent.He quickly took out his mobile phone camera, followed the flock of sheep to take pictures, and soon arrived at their destination—the home of an ordinary Kazakh herdsman in the town.
I don't know if it's the wrong season, but this family didn't live in a yurt as Qu Haiyao imagined, they lived in a settlement in the town.The host had already come to the door early to wait. Seeing that the guide came down with Qu Haiyao and brought a large basket of fresh grapes, the old man showed a warm and down-to-earth smile.
Seeing the guests coming, the hostess of the house quickly poured out mellow milk tea for them to drink.The hostess and hostess can speak some Chinese, not very well, but there is no problem with general communication.The guide and the couple were obviously familiar with each other, and the guide who was planning to go back stayed for dinner without being too polite at the invitation of the couple.The hostess went to cook, leaving the host and the guide chatting outside.
The male host is called Balta, who is almost 70 years old, but his body is still very strong and tough.They have a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter got married early, and the youngest son is working outside. Only the husband and wife live in the town as herdsmen.Qu Haiyao didn't know what criteria Fan Chuzheng used to choose a host family. In his opinion, this family was indeed somewhat similar to Sabul's family in their play.After staying in a multilingual environment for so many days, Qu Haiyao has made great progress in his ability to even make gestures and guesses, and now he has no fear of communicating with Kazakhs.
"Then, if your son and daughter don't come back to help, can you two take care of so many things at home?"
The old man waved his hand indifferently: "What's the matter? I came here like this when I was young. At that time, there were children to raise, children to go to school, and meals to eat. Now it's just the two of us at home. There's nothing we can't do. of."
"Does the child come home often?"
"Daughters come back more often. My son is married outside and has to support the family. I don't have time." Balta pointed to his wife who was busy in the kitchen. We carry it with us. Alas, I knew my son would definitely not want it. They are outside now, and their habits are different from ours before." Balta took a sip of milk tea and said not too concerned: "That's fine. Let's pass us Yes, they live their lives, as long as everyone is happy, it's a good day."
Qu Haiyao carefully discerned the expression on Balta's face. The old man didn't force his words, and it was obvious that he really thought so.Qu Haiyao thought of the many elderly people he had seen around him. They always liked to keep their married and established children by their side, and at the same time disliked people who were as old as their children and were still gnawing on their old age; while the young people also enjoyed it openly. Taking advantage of the benefits given by their parents, they also complain that their parents always take care of themselves and cannot take care of their children well. Many urbanites with higher education are not as comfortable as the minority herdsmen who have not received much systematic education.
Balta's wife, Ayman, came over with a milk lump, sat down next to her husband and joined the conversation very naturally.They talked about trivial matters in life, the weather and cattle and sheep. The expressions of the couple were natural and at ease. It could be seen that they were very satisfied with their current life.After watching it for a while, Qu Haiyao smiled and said, "Son and daughter will leave sooner or later, after all, they are husband and wife, right?"
Balta and Ayman were slightly taken aback, and then both laughed.Ayman was a little embarrassed, a girlish shyness appeared on her weather-stained face, and Balta looked at his wife plainly and smiled.
Qu Haiyao was moved in his heart.Despite language barriers, different nationalities, and living in completely different social environments, all human beings are the same in terms of love for their partners, sentiment and wisdom for life.
He just wanted to be such a lover with Rong Yi for the rest of his life.
Coincidentally, Lou Yongrui had some problems with the editing of "Gu Zhai Long Corridor", and what he meant seemed to be that he had some disagreements with NUERA again.This kind of thing can't be done concisely. Lou Yongrui can't do anything by himself, but concisely works in a French winery. What's more, concisely did not participate in this project, so it is not suitable for him to come forward in person.Rong Yi didn't say anything, and flew to Hainan in the afternoon when she received Lou Yongrui's call.
And when he came back, Qu Haiyao might have already left Beijing.The two of them are actually a little fortunate for the sudden early separation. Sometimes when the big problems in the emotional relationship are solved, there will always be some small tails, and such small tails do not have any real harm, but only make the parties feel It's just a little unpleasant.When encountering this kind of thing, the best way is to give the "little tail" time to dry, and it will heal naturally after being separated for a while.

During the peak season, we still do tourist business. But the peak season is short after all. It’s only been three or four months, and everyone usually grazes a lot.”
Slowly, Qu Haiyao felt how many people were grazing here.Along the way, he saw more and more herdsmen driving their cattle, sheep and horses leisurely passing by. When he first entered the county town, he saw two flocks of sheep meeting each other by the side of the road. ", Qu Haiyao knew for the first time that the cry of a sheep could be so magnificent.He quickly took out his mobile phone camera, followed the flock of sheep to take pictures, and soon arrived at their destination—the home of an ordinary Kazakh herdsman in the town.
I don't know if it's the wrong season, but this family didn't live in a yurt as Qu Haiyao imagined, they lived in a settlement in the town.The host had already come to the door early to wait. Seeing that the guide came down with Qu Haiyao and brought a large basket of fresh grapes, the old man showed a warm and down-to-earth smile.
Seeing the guests coming, the hostess of the house quickly poured out mellow milk tea for them to drink.The hostess and hostess can speak some Chinese, not very well, but there is no problem with general communication.The guide and the couple were obviously familiar with each other, and the guide who was planning to go back stayed for dinner without being too polite at the invitation of the couple.The hostess went to cook, leaving the host and the guide chatting outside.
The male host is called Balta, who is almost 70 years old, but his body is still very strong and tough.They have a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter got married early, and the youngest son is working outside. Only the husband and wife live in the town as herdsmen.Qu Haiyao didn't know what criteria Fan Chuzheng used to choose a host family. In his opinion, this family was indeed somewhat similar to Sabul's family in their play.After staying in a multilingual environment for so many days, Qu Haiyao has made great progress in his ability to even make gestures and guesses, and now he has no fear of communicating with Kazakhs.
"Then, if your son and daughter don't come back to help, can you two take care of so many things at home?"
The old man waved his hand indifferently: "What's the matter? I came here like this when I was young. At that time, there were children to raise, children to go to school, and meals to eat. Now it's just the two of us at home. There's nothing we can't do. of."
"Does the child come home often?"
"Daughters come back more often. My son is married outside and has to support the family. I don't have time." Balta pointed to his wife who was busy in the kitchen. We carry it with us. Alas, I knew my son would definitely not want it. They are outside now, and their habits are different from ours before." Balta took a sip of milk tea and said not too concerned: "That's fine. Let's pass us Yes, they live their lives, as long as everyone is happy, it's a good day."
Qu Haiyao carefully discerned the expression on Balta's face. The old man didn't force his words, and it was obvious that he really thought so.Qu Haiyao thought of the many elderly people he had seen around him. They always liked to keep their married and established children by their side, and at the same time disliked people who were as old as their children and were still gnawing on their old age; while the young people also enjoyed it openly. Taking advantage of the benefits given by their parents, they also complain that their parents always take care of themselves and cannot take care of their children well. Many urbanites with higher education are not as comfortable as the minority herdsmen who have not received much systematic education.
Balta's wife, Ayman, came over with a milk lump, sat down next to her husband and joined the conversation very naturally.They talked about trivial matters in life, the weather and cattle and sheep. The expressions of the couple were natural and at ease. It could be seen that they were very satisfied with their current life.After watching it for a while, Qu Haiyao smiled and said, "Son and daughter will leave sooner or later, after all, they are husband and wife, right?"
Balta and Ayman were slightly taken aback, and then both laughed.Ayman was a little embarrassed, a girlish shyness appeared on her weather-stained face, and Balta looked at his wife plainly and smiled.
Qu Haiyao was moved in his heart.Despite language barriers, different nationalities, and living in completely different social environments, all human beings are the same in terms of love for their partners, sentiment and wisdom for life.
He just wanted to be such a lover with Rong Yi for the rest of his life.
