The film in Shaolin Temple is expected to take five days, but three days have passed and not half of it has been filmed, especially the last scene of Zhang Sanfeng and Dong Tianbao breaking the stick formation, which is very time-consuming to shoot... Judging from the current progress, the film in Shaolin Temple alone will have to be filmed for one week.
Apart from chanting scriptures, the monks in Shaolin Temple worked most of the time. They not only sweep the floor and organize scriptures, but also had to carry water and grow vegetables, otherwise they would starve to death on the mountain.
Even though Kang Jianfei donated thousands of dollars in incense money, the monks could not sit still and continued their usual traditions.
While farming and chanting scriptures, this can be regarded as a leisurely life of farming and reading - if you don’t go hungry.
It was getting late, and the filming of another day was over. The crew members who had been busy all day had gone to take a shower and prepare for dinner.
Kang Jianfei looked at the thin monk who came back with a hoe in the twilight in the distance, and suddenly asked the monk Yongxin beside him: "Master Yongxin, if one day the monks in Shaolin Temple only need to recite scriptures and preach Buddha to eat enough, and live a very comfortable life, what do you think of such a life?"
Yongxin was sent by his master, Master Xingzheng, and he specially followed Kang Jianfei to assist in the filming. Monk Yongxin is only 16 years old now and lives at the foot of the mountain better than in Shaolin Temple. But he took the initiative to ask his father to send him up the mountain, and his heart toward Buddha can be said to the moon.
"Amitabha," Yongxin said in his longing, "If the monks in Shaolin Temple can eat enough by just chanting scriptures, then the sentient beings at the foot of the mountain will definitely live a good day in a peaceful and prosperous era, and the little monk yearns for it."
Kang Jianfei was extremely surprised when he heard this answer. Compared with the 16-year-old monk Yongxin, Zhen Zidan's emotional intelligence was simply unbearable. No wonder this monk could turn Shaolin Temple into an internationally renowned group in the future.
Kang Jianfei praised: "Young Master Yongxin, you are very wise, and you will become a great monk in your generation."
Yongxin said modestly: "The monk dares not speak. As long as you focus on the Buddha, everyone can become a Buddha."
Kang Jianfei said strangely: "It seems that it has only been half a year since you went up the mountain. Why do you speak so well with the Buddha's surname?"
Yongxin said: "I have read Buddhist scriptures at the foot of the mountain. After going up the mountain, I followed my master and said, "I dare not be tired and lazy."
Kang Jianfei asked in a bad mood: "Then will you consecrate someone now?"
Yongxin shook his head and replied, "The little monk said to be shallow, but he has never learned to consecrate."
Between the two of them, a venue shouted: "Director, it's time to eat."
The meals that the crew had during the filming of Shaolin Temple were naturally all vegetarian dishes. In order to supplement everyone's nutrition, each meal had bean products, which was no worse than eating meat.
Because of the trouble of going up and down the mountain, all the crew lived in the temple, and the chef also lived in the Shaolin Temple. He built a brick stove in the Shaolin Temple and prepared the food of the six monks together, and the monks were so happy that they shouted Amitabha together.
Shaolin Temple was ignited by warlord Shiyou Sanyi fire more than 50 years ago. The Heavenly King Hall, Daxiong Hall, Bell Tower, Dharma Hall and other buildings were burned out, and many boxing books and Buddhist scriptures were burned. After that, Shaolin Temple declined even more than one month. The monks in the temple died and now they have become single digits.
Now the remaining remains are still there, and the monks in Shaolin Temple are in difficulty, and they have no energy or money to repair them. Fortunately, many scriptures and boxing books were rescued from the fire by monks and still retained a lot. Moreover, the Shaolin Temple is high and the road is far away, and there are few people. The several movements in New China have not been affected much and have not been damaged again.
Whether you believe in Buddhism or not, these monks in Shaolin Temple are still very admirable. Because of these people, the precious Buddhist scriptures and boxing scores of Shaolin Temple have been properly kept for decades, otherwise they would not have developed so quickly after the 1980s.
Most Hong Kong people believe in respecting gods and Buddhas, especially after seeing the hard life of the six monks in Shaolin Temple, they are even more respectful to them.
When the meal was about to start, the crew had already taken the initiative to prepare meals for the monks, and the attendants gave them all the seats, which made the monks thank them repeatedly.
As soon as Kang Jianfei sat down, Wen Bixia had already handed over a bowl of rice, and had a lot of tomatoes and stir-fried tofu in the rice.
Kang Jianfei patted Wen Bixia's head to praise him. He was about to have a meal, but he heard Zhen Zidan, who was playing a miscellaneous role in the crew, ask: "Abbot, I saw you practicing boxing yesterday. Have you been practicing all the time?"
The abbot Xingzheng chewed the vegetables and said, "I have been practicing."
Zhen Zidan said excitedly: "You are still so thin in martial arts practice. It seems that even ordinary people can't beat them. Are you practicing the internal skills in the novels?"
The abbot Xingzheng corrected him and said, "No, practicing martial arts is just to strengthen the body, not to fight with others. There are no doctors on Mount Song, and sometimes we encounter wild beasts. We monks practice martial arts to deal with wild beasts and diseases."
Zhen Zidan said a little disappointed: "It's not internal strength for a long time. It's not that your arms don't have any muscles, so it probably doesn't work very well."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the crew frowned. It seemed a bit too much to say such words to these monks.
Zhen Zidan was completely unaware of his problem. After saying that, she scattered rice and ate vegetables, and from time to time she even spoke up to praise the chef's skills.
The youngest monk in Shaolin Temple was only thirteen years old. After hearing Zhen Zidan's words, he couldn't bear to worry about his face and sneered: "Don't look at you being strong, you will definitely not be able to beat the uncle Su Neng in the back mountain. I saw him with my own eyes subduing a big wild boar."
The back mountain of Shaolin Temple?
Could it be that there is really a hermit master written in the novel?
Everyone looked at the abbot and wanted to get a certain answer from him, because this was in line with everyone's expectations for Shaolin Temple.
Abbot Xingzheng shook his head and refused to speak. Kang Jianfei suddenly remembered the promotional videos of Shaolin Temple before and asked, "Is it the intention of Shaolin Temple?"
Abbot Xingzheng was slightly surprised and said, "The donor also knows what Shaolin Temple wants?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I have heard my master say since I was a child, "Gagua thief, Tai Chi is smooth, the most poisonous thing is the heart of the mind." This heart of the mind is Shaolin's kung fu."
At this time, the abbot Xingzheng didn't care about Chen Mo, the political axe staff member, and said, "Amitabha, I am determined to combine Zen, martial arts and medicine to be good at martial arts. "Pest" is really a prejudice by outsiders."
Hui Yinghong and Hui Tianci are both actors who make kung fu movies, but they have never even heard of this name, and the same is true for those martial arts players.
At this time, listening to the conversation between Kang Jianfei and the abbot, it felt like an expert in the novel discussing martial arts.
Zhen Zidan was a little crazy about martial arts. When he heard the name "Xinyiba", he hurriedly asked: "What kind of martial arts is Xinyiba? Isn't it very powerful?"
Everyone wanted to ask this question. After Zhen Zidan asked, everyone was waiting for the abbot Xingzheng to answer the answer.
Kang Jianfei has a little understanding of his heart. Later movies and TV series often appear in one scene, that is, there is a training room in Shaolin Temple, where the stone floor inside is trampled into a pothole.
Those bumpy places were left behind by ancient monks when they practiced their minds.
In Shaolin promotional videos, Xinyizha was originally a secret of Shaolin monk's cultivation. Later, a guy named Wu Shanlin insisted on going to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. After Wu Shanlin learned Xinyizha, he was discovered to be misconduct and became the last disciple of Shaolin Temple to be expelled from the mountain gate in modern times.
Not long after, the warlord Shi Yousan burned Shaolin Temple, and his heart was lost because of this. Instead, the abandoned disciple Wu Shanlin allowed his heart to continue.
Later, a young man became a disciple of Wu Shanlin's disciple. After watching "Shaolin Temple" next year, this disciple would go to Shaolin Temple to learn from his master and return the secret meaning of Shaolin to Shaolin Temple. This young man was later Master Dejian, and Shaolin Temple also built a Zen temple for him in the back mountain.
However, there are many doubts in this statement and they cannot withstand rigorous considerations at all. More martial arts practitioners believe that Wu Shanlin had not learned all of his mind at the beginning, and his complete mind was still in Shaolin Temple.
After dinner, Kang Jianfei pulled Monk Yongxin to the dark and asked, "Where does that Master Su Neng live?"
Monk Yongxin shook his head and said, "In the back mountain, my uncle doesn't like others to disturb him."
Kang Jianfei asked, "Why does he live in the back mountain?"
Monk Yongxin said, "I heard from Master that it was not Shaolin Temple, but Shigou Temple, and the mind-in-law was also transmitted from there. Although Shigou Temple has been destroyed, there are still some remains in the caves there. Shaolin Temple's mind-in-law was originally painted on the walls of the White-Clothing Hall, and it was lost after it was burned. However, more than ten years ago, Master Su Neng discovered a complete mind-in-law in the caves of Shigou Temple in Houshan, so he moved there to live."
Damn, this is the real martial arts fanatic. In order to practice a martial art, I moved to the mountains and lived alone for more than ten years.
Kang Jianfei was really itchy and said, "Master Yongxin, take me to the back mountain to find Master Su Neng. I will thank you very much after I come back."
Monk Yongxin combined with all his thoughts: "Amitabha, monks regard fame and fortune as clouds. The donor wants to visit Master Su Neng, I will take you there, so why use the benefits to tempt me?"
Kang Jianfei hurriedly said, "Sin, sin, little master, please lead the way."
Monk Yongxin said, "I'll get two torches first, it's not easy to walk in the mountains at night."
"No need, wait for me." Kang Jianfei ran to the venue to get two flashlights, handed them to Monk Yongxin, and said, "Just use this."
Flashlights are not very popular in the mainland nowadays. Monk Yongxin kept turning on and off the lights and said happily: "This light is really convenient."
Kang Jianfei said: "If you like it, I'll give you this."
Monk Yongxin said, "Amitabha, if the fellows in the temple have a flashlight, it will be much more convenient to walk at night in the future."
