Chapter 172 Green in the Desert

The car e-commerce company was stunned for a while after receiving the call from Happy Source. The person in charge of the contact was confused. What did he hear?Refuse all sponsorship!
"Hehe, well, everyone is awesome now." The executives of the car e-commerce company shook their heads and laughed. They don't want sponsorship in Shanghai, and neither do those in Beijing. Has the world changed?
In the Taklimakan Desert, the donkey friends who followed Wu Qian’s team walked about 20 kilometers and returned one after another. They did not make any preparations. Naturally, it was impossible to follow the shooting team into the desert hinterland. In case of an accident, it would be life-threatening of!

The donkey friends returned and cheered for the shooting team together when they left. This made the team members very excited, and the team continued to go deep into the desert hinterland.Wu Qian will be sitting in the co-pilot of Hilux, and Tian Yewang will be driving.The speed of the whole team is not fast, because from time to time need to stop to shoot some shots as material.

Sitting in the car, Wu Qian looked into the distance. The sky-high yellow sand was undulating with no end in sight. The sun made the desert golden and golden. Occasionally, there were a few tenacious yellow-green plants mixed in, swaying slightly in the wind and sand But it stands still, and the strong life makes people feel emotional.

Vegetation in the Taklimakan Desert is extremely sparse, and almost the entire area lacks plant cover.In the depressions between the dunes, the groundwater is no more than 5 meters above the surface, and sparse tamarisks, saltpeter bushes and reeds can be seen.However, a thick layer of quicksand hinders the spread of this vegetation.The peculiar scenery attracted Wu Qian's gaze, and he watched intently all the way.

Suddenly, a sudden touch of green broke into Wu Qian's eyes. The green was not very lush, but there was a large stretch extending to the hinterland of the desert. Wu Qian visually estimated that it was about 1 kilometer long.

"It should have been planted by a dedicated tree planter." Wu Qian said, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw two houses appearing next to the green plants, and a dilapidated large truck was parked beside the house.

"Yezi, let the people in the team head towards the green plants and go over to have a look."

Lao Yang, a tree planter in the desert, has dedicated his entire life to this project at the age of 50.Under the scorching sun, Lao Yang was wearing a sand-proof suit and a sun hat on his head. He brandished a hoe and dug a hole in the sand. Then he took a seedling from the pile of seedlings beside him and planted it in, filled it with sand and watered it...

Lao Zhang and Lao Yang are the same. The two have been planting trees in this desert for 20 years. The division of labor is clear and there is a tacit understanding. Now Lao Zhang is walking back to the truck to pick up seedlings, and suddenly he sees behind the sand dunes in the distance Dust was raised, and the roar of cars continued.

"There is another convoy crossing the N39. Hey, it's getting more and more lively." Lao Zhang stood on the truck bed and looked into the distance. Suddenly, a row of vehicles appeared on the sand dunes and slowly drove towards his direction. come over.

The shooting convoy headed towards the green plants. After getting close, Wu Qian could see clearly that the green was made up of upside-down wicker-like plants. He couldn't recognize what it was. Now, the car had already driven to the side of the truck. .

"Master, hello, we are a filming team, are you working on this sand forest protection alone?" Wu Qian jumped out of the car and asked Lao Zhang.

In the stone house, Wu Qian, Tian Yewang, tree planters Lao Zhang, and Lao Yang sat together, chatting enthusiastically.The filming team has obtained permission and is taking pictures outside.

Lao Zhang and Lao Yang are ordinary-looking, living in the desert all year round, their skin is dark and dry, with many wrinkles on their faces, and there are fine gravel in the wrinkles.Now Lao Yang is drinking water from a big enamel cup.

"Young man, the plant that Lao Zhang and I planted is called Salix salix. Salix salix is ​​a desert plant and one of the few plants that can grow in saline-alkali land. The leaves are linear or linear-lanceolate, and the branches are clustered and not afraid of sand pressure. , with well-developed root system and strong germination ability, it is one of the first choice for sand-fixing afforestation tree species."

In the past, there were convoys in a hurry, but it was rare for a convoy to visit. Lao Zhang and Lao Yang were very happy.

Through chatting, Wu Qian learned that the two master tree planters are both 50 years old. They started planting trees in the desert about 20 years ago and spent half their lives doing it. This perseverance and perseverance is really admirable.

"There are only two people working on such a large project?" Wu Qian thought of the patches of willows outside, and this is already the eighth patch of sand willows planted by the two masters. He couldn't imagine such a project. It turned out that the two were busy.

Speaking of this, Lao Yang smiled awkwardly and said: "In our place, planting trees is really more difficult than raising children. The villagers also know that we must protect the environment, but most of the desert is saline-alkali land. It was very frustrating to see that the trees I planted could not survive. So most of the villagers gave up. No wonder they, that is, me and Lao Zhang, were so foolish as to persevere.”

"Environmental protection is all about persistence. Planting trees is planting hope. No matter how difficult it is, Lao Yang and I will continue to do it. Looking at the physical condition of Lao Yang and me, even if we work for another 20 years, it will not be a problem, haha. "Old Zhang knocked his tobacco stick on the ground, and said happily.

Lao Zhang and Lao Yang didn’t have any big visions. They didn’t think about turning the desert into an oasis. It’s just that the Taklamakan Desert is the second largest mobile desert in the world, and it erodes southward for a certain distance every year. What they want to do is plant Plant down and slow down the flow of the desert.

As a part of the earth's ecology, deserts are not necessarily good if they don't exist. There are reasons for the existence of various things.

"The two are not stupid, but they are people with great perseverance. They are worthy of admiration. I want to film the deeds of the two afforestation and make it into a promotional video. I wonder if the two would like it?" Wu Qian said.

Before Wu Qian talked about shooting Salix Forestland, the two masters were very happy to be recognized as the children of Lao Zhang and Yang, but they were very embarrassed when it came to filming them and promoting them.

Lao Zhang said: "Young man, I appreciate your kindness. Lao Yang and I are not worthy of publicity. If you can advocate afforestation, we are very grateful."

Wu Qian did not disobey the wishes of the two desert tree planters, but silently dedicated himself in the desert without seeking fame and fortune. This kind of spirit infected all the people in the team. Wu Qian wanted to leave something to help the two, but he found There is nothing left.

The resources are all prepared in advance, and their journey has just begun.They wanted to give some money, but they didn't even have a way to pay. The two tree planters didn't have all kinds of "codes" to collect money.

"Young man, don't do this." Lao Zhang saw Wu Qian's intentions and stopped him: "Lao Yang and I will go back every few days. We don't lack any supplies. You still have to cross N39. This is a long way to go." Dangerous route, you are more difficult than us."

Wu Qian shook his head and didn't listen to the two of them. He called everyone in the team together and said, "There is no need for cash in the desert. I don't think everyone has brought much, so take it all out. Old Zheng, what are you going to do?" Register, and I will double the supply to everyone when I return to the company.”

"This... No need, I have 300 yuan here, and there are some bits and pieces, a little heart."

"Chairman Wu, I have more than 600 people here. Don't forget about Editor Zheng. There is not much money. It is really unnecessary."

"Mine, 500 yuan."

Everyone in the team responded to Wu Qian's move one after another. No one asked for double repayment for this 300 and that 500.Wu Qian looked around and made a rough note of everyone's share, 300 less and 1000 more, just make up for it when the salary is due.

Tian Yewang brought a lot. He got used to it when he was studying abroad. There is no such convenient and fast payment in China, and cash is the main method in foreign countries, so he is also used to carrying some cash with him, and took out 2 yuan.

In the end, Wu Qian collected a small amount of 5 yuan. It is really not easy to collect so much cash when the payment is fast and convenient.He handed over the money to Lao Zhang. Originally, the filming team wanted to record this clip, but Wu Qian refused.The two truly dedicated tree planters didn't ask for publicity everywhere, they just took a little money out, so what's there to publicize?
"Master Zhang, Master Yang. Hey, don't rush to refuse, let me finish my sentence. Here is more than 4 yuan, and not all of them are given to you two. When I ask you two to help me plant a hundred Eighty salix plants, the rest of the money will be used as labor costs, okay?" Wu Qian said.

"Oh, boy, 500 plants won't cost so much!" Old Zhang kept refusing.

"Those two just watch over. You allocate how many plants to plant and how much labor fees you get, and treat it as if I invite you to work. Don't refuse." Wu Qian said.

Speaking of this, the two masters had no choice but to refuse. Lao Zhang held a pile of money in both hands, his heart was very hot, and his eyes were hot.The family conditions of the two of them are not very rich, and they can persist until today because of the help of the villagers.

Without staying too long, Wu Qian wrote down the mobile phone numbers of the two tree planters, and called the team to set off. This matter has lingered in everyone's minds for a long time.In some corners of the world, there are touching stories happening all the time, but they are unknown.

Lao Zhang and Lao Yang watched the convoy gradually go away, grateful in their hearts, they looked at each other, Lao Yang went back to the house and put the wallet in several layers of plastic bags, this is an entrustment, a trust.

After leaving the salix forest, the convoy continued to move forward. There were not always heavy shooting tasks along the way. There were not many times when eight cameras were required to be used at the same time. Only some special shots required "full firepower".For example, there are a few thrilling shots of sliding down the dunes. In order to get a one-time pass, not only all the cameras were turned on, but all 6 aerial cameras were also put into shooting, so it was done again, which was delayed for nearly half an hour.

Some scenes that are not too difficult, under the guidance of the director, the proficient technology of the Hollywood shooting team, and the excellent driving of the shooting vehicle driver, are all in one pass, and a large amount of material has been collected. These are all tasks left for the later stage .

The usual normal traveling process is still the same, only two cameras work, and occasionally the aerial camera is released to collect some aerial images and overlooking scenery.
