Dadenghan Village is a typical Dai village. The buildings in the village are also typical of the Dai people's stilt-style buildings. The stilt-style houses are all built in single buildings. Each house has its own courtyard, and each courtyard is connected by paths.
Dry railings are mostly made of bamboo. The wood is used as the frame, and the bamboo is used for purlins, rafters, floors, walls, ladders, railings, etc. Each component is connected without nails, and bamboo strips are widely used for binding.
Wu Jianye and others arrived at Dadenghan Village, which was already huge news here.
"Welcome distinguished guests to our Dadenghan Village!" An old man dressed differently from the other villagers walked at the front and welcomed everyone with a smile.
"Is this the village chief of Dadenghan Village?" Li Xiuming asked quietly next to Wu Jianye.
"Here they don't call the village chief, but the village father. Next to the village father is his wife, who is called the village mother." Wu Jianye introduced Li Xiuming in a low voice.
"Did Teacher Dao speak the Dai language to them?" Li Xiuming continued to ask when he saw Dao Shixun talking animatedly with his father from Dadenghan Village.
Now Li Xiuming has basically regarded Wu Jianye as a member of the Dai ethnic group.
However, Wu Jianye did not disappoint her and said with a smile: "What Dao Lao told them was the Dehong dialect of the Dai people. In fact, there is another dialect called the Xishuangbanna dialect."
"What are they talking about?" Li Xiuming asked curiously.
"Where should I know..." Wu Jianye rolled his eyes at Li Xiuming.
Li Xiuming chuckled and said, "I think what you said is clear and logical, and I thought you understood it!"
Wu Jianye said helplessly: "I'm just talking about it on paper, but when it comes to real practice, it doesn't actually work!"
"Haha, that's it!"
"Okay, stop laughing, be careful if a young man from the Dai ethnic group takes a liking to you and snatches you away to be your wife!" Wu Jianye continued to look at Li Xiuming with a white eye.
"Screw you, by the way, I kept forgetting to ask, is Dao Lao a Dai ethnic group?" Li Xiuming asked curiously.
"Of course it is. Dao Lao's family used to be the chieftain of the Dai ethnic group!"
"Did Mr. Dao tell you?" Li Xiu knew that Dao Shixun admired Wu Jianye very much, so he thought it was what Dao Shixun told Wu Jianye.
"The surname Dao means a sage and a mentor in Dai language, and it is also an honorific title. It later became the official surname of Bannadhong chieftain. These are all recorded in the literature about the Dai people, and there is no need for Dao Lao to say it!"
Wu Jianye preached.
Although Dadenghan Village has prepared a welcome ceremony for the crew, and Lin Yonggang also brought gifts from the crew, after all, it is not easy for anyone now.
The welcome ceremony will not be held for a while. Taking advantage of this gap, the crew began to assign places to live. Most of them were staying with families in the village. Wu Jianye was still assigned to Dai Zhaoan this time.
Dai Zhaoan maintained his excitement, held Wu Jianye's shoulder with his left hand, and carried his backpack behind his back with his right hand. He smiled and said: "Old Wu, I really want to thank you this time."
Wu Jianye dodged away without leaving a trace and said with a smile: "You have said this so many times along the way, but you are not allowed to say it again!"
"Haha, okay, let's not talk anymore. We will be brothers from now on. If anything happens, just say it!"
The stilt house is divided into two floors, with people living on the upper floor and livestock and poultry on the lower floor.
Most of the Dai people's fences in Ruili are oriented north-south. The owner of Wu Jianye and Dai Zhaoan's residence is a single father with a child of 17 or 18 years old, so there are some fewer rules when living with them.
The single father was called Yan Gang. He was a little thin, with a sallow complexion and was not in good health. His son was called Yan Wen. He was similar in stature to his father, had dark skin and didn't like to talk. But what surprised Wu Jianye the most was Yan Wen.
Wen's expression was so indifferent that it made people's hearts palpitate, as if everything in the world was lifeless in his eyes.
Only when he looked at his father, Wu Jianye would see that touch of warmth.
"Two distinguished guests, you two will stay in this room from now on. Yan Wen and I's room is next door. If you need anything, you can call us!" Yan Gang said with a simple smile.
"Uncle, thank you!" Wu Jianye thanked him.
The welcome ceremony in Dadenghan Village is somewhat different from that of the county leaders. Here you can obviously feel that the village is more enthusiastic and more casual, but the only thing is the same, that is, there is still a lot of wine...
..
In the following days, Dao Lao took everyone to familiarize themselves with the environment here and experience the life of the locals. At the same time, Director Zhu also took Wu Jianye and others to the built palace of the Mengbanzha Kingdom. As for other location selections
, and watched them all again. Two weeks later, Director Zhu announced that the filming of "Peacock Princess" would officially start the next day!
As for Wu Jianye's worry that Dai Zhaoan and others would secretly go to the county to gamble on stones, it didn't happen. It wasn't that Dai Zhaoan and the others didn't want to go, but that there was really no way to get there. Apart from the crew's weekly on-time purchase of supplies,
It was too difficult to go to the county, and with Lin Yonggang's special attention, Dai Zhaoan was rejected several times when he wanted to take leave to go to the city.
"Old Wu, I'm not bragging to you. I already know a lot about stone gambling. When we can go to the county, I will give you some guidance and ensure that you can also cut out big stones!" Dai Zhaoan said
There are several books about stone gambling lying next to him, which he bought in Ruili that day. In the past two weeks, he has spent more time reading these books.
"Have you understood the character Yankan?" Wu Jianye said in response to the question.
"Don't worry, I have studied it thoroughly. Old Wu, you are just too careful. I know this is the first script you have written. What is our relationship? I will definitely not mess up your first script.
Yes!" Dai Zhaoan laughed.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Sometimes people's experience is limited, and some things also require one's own talent!"
Dai Zhaoan said confidently: "Yes, I think I am very talented in stone gambling. I can understand the contents of the book at a glance, and I can also draw inferences and come up with other solutions!
"
Wu Jianye said nothing more. He had already said what he could to persuade him. If the other party didn't hear it, there was nothing he could do. As long as Dai Zhaoan could finish filming the film honestly in the remaining few months, Wu Jianye would
He was very satisfied. As for whether it was heaven or hell, he could only go there by himself.
"I'm going for a walk and I'll be back in a while!" Wu Jianye got out of bed and said.
"Okay, it just so happens that I still don't understand the part about wool texture in this book. I'll take a closer look!" Dai Zhaoan waved his hand.
The moon hangs high in the sky, and the sky is filled with stars.
Along with the chirping of insects, there is something in the village that calms people's minds.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wu Jianye looked over and saw that it was Li Xiuming walking out wearing a coat. The houses they lived in were next to each other.
"I just saw a personal image of you on the window. When I came out, I saw it was really you!" Li Xiuming sat next to Wu Jianye and smiled.
"The room is a little stuffy, so come out and sit for a while!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
No one spoke behind the two of them, they just enjoyed the night here quietly. Wu Jianye originally thought it would be a peaceful night, but as the night grew darker and darker, it was time for people to go to bed.
The sound insulation effect of the wall built is definitely not good.
Although it is autumn now, it is the time when everything calls spring...
