Kang Jianfei took the crew to live in the dilapidated courtyard house, while Chen Mo ran to help Kang Jianfei contact the contractor of Shaolin Temple. To be honest, there are many foreign businesses investing in factories now, but Kang Jianfei is still the only one of the foreign businesses who contracted the temple.
Although the mainland has been reforming and opening up for three years, only the coastal generation has formed a trend. Inland cities are still relatively conservative, and most local people's commune systems have not been abolished. Temples can be said to be religion or understood as feudal superstition. Chen Mo was a person who experienced that movement, for fear that he would make political mistakes if he didn't do it well.
Although he agreed to Kang Jianfei to help him contact the local government, Chen Mo first moved into a government guesthouse in Zhengzhou, and then called back to Beijing/Beijing to ask for instructions on his immediate boss Zhang Ling.
After calling Zhang Ling’s office, Chen Mo said: “Section Chief Zhang, Kang Jianfei said he wanted to contract Shaolin Temple.”
"What did he contract Shaolin Temple for?" Zhang Ling was amused and laughed. The superior was encouraging foreign investment, not investing in the temple.
Chen Mo explained: "Now, there are 13 monks in the Shaolin Temple who live in the entire temple. They rely on farming more than 20 acres of mountain land to live. The buildings in the temple have not been repaired since they were burned by warlords, and they look very declining. Mr. Kang said that Shaolin Temple is a cultural treasure. He couldn't bear to see Shaolin Temple decline, so he wanted to spend money to contract Shaolin Temple."
Zhang Ling asked: "What are he going to do after contracting it?"
Chen Mo replied truthfully: "Kang Jianfei said that he would have to contract for at least 30 years. If possible, it would be best to contract for fifty years. In the first ten years of contract, he was going to invest 10 million yuan in succession to restore the ancient buildings of Shaolin Temple and to repair the road down the mountain of Shaolin Temple. It is best to cooperate with the local government to build a highway from Dengfeng to Shaoshishan. He said that the first ten years were a phase one plan, which was basically a capital investment and no profit. The second ten years were a phase two plan, and he would continue to invest additionally, increase the tourism income of Shaolin Temple through publicity, and use it to drive the local economy around Songshan. The best situation is that Shaolin Temple collects one dollar ticket, which can make the local people earn ten yuan. The third ten years were a phase three plan, and he said he would prepare to promote Shaolin Temple to the whole world and promote Shaolin Zen and martial arts culture..."
"He really said that?" Zhang Ling was very surprised. He thought Kang Jianfei was just contracting a Shaolin Temple to shoot movies or something, but he didn't expect that there would be such a long-term plan.
However, Zhang Ling still didn't take this seriously. He felt that Kang Jianfei was just drawing a big cake, and it was even more fantasy to promote Shaolin Temple to the world.
After all, except for time travelers like Kang Jianfei, no one expected that Shaolin Temple would be so profitable in ten or twenty years. The tourism industry, led by Shaolin Temple, has become a pillar industry in the local area, and the local government has even adjusted its own industrial development layout because of Shaolin Temple.
This is also the fundamental reason why Kang Jianfei dared to say his plan. Even if he said it, no one would snatch the ruined temple from him. Moreover, if he spoke beautifully, he would attract the attention of the above and give him more discounts.
Of course, if the Shaolin Temple industry is really built in the future, some people in China will inevitably become jealous. At that time, they will have to spend money to manage some things and give up some benefits to some people.
After Zhang Ling hung up the phone, he felt that this matter involved both Hong Kong compatriots and religious affairs, so he was really careless and immediately reported the situation to the director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office.
Mr. Liao from the Hong Kong and Macau office are friends with Wang Kuang, the president of the Hong Kong Branch of Xinhua News Agency, and he heard a lot about Kang Jianfei. Director Liao thought for a while and said, "It seems that he has not done a loss-making business after Kang Jianfei arrived in Hong Kong for two years. It is probably not a whim this time... Let's do it according to the practice of investment promotion, and I personally say hello to the lower level."

After the filming of Shaolin Temple and the military camp, there was no need for so many people. The members of the Beijing/Beijing and Shandong Martial Arts Team had already taken the train back.
Everyone moved to Siheyuan to live in. The owner of the yard said that this Siheyuan was built during the Xianfeng period and has a history of more than a hundred years.
The courtyard was a bit dilapidated. It just rained two days ago. There was still a lot of water in the yard. A group of ducks ran around, and the ground was covered with duck shit.
Kang Jianfei paced back and forth a few steps, and a few pieces of duck shit were splashed by him. He nodded with satisfaction and praised: "This place is good, so there is no need to set it up."
Qi Bo walked out of the house and whispered: "Mr. Kang, the portraits of the main hall are not easy to arrange."
Kang Jianfei said casually: "Tell me about it and just hang a few calligraphy and paintings."
Qi Bo said, "I'm afraid I'll tear out the problem, so you can go and see it yourself."
Kang Jianfei couldn't figure out what Qi Bo was afraid of, so he stepped into the main hall and saw Ai Ma, the ten marshals on the walls, Mao Weiren was smiling kindly at Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei didn't dare to tear it around. If the owner was a fanatical fan of Mao Weiren, it would be troublesome. He said to Qi Bo: "You ask the venue to make some white paper, and let the people who build the scenery paste the wall with white paper, and then hang a few calligraphy and paintings, and tear the white paper after taking the photo."
It was almost evening when we moved into the Siheyuan. Kang Jianfei asked the staff to arrange some things and waited for the shooting tomorrow morning. He called Wu Mengda into his room and said, "When you are filming, your expressions and movements can be exaggerated."
Wu Mengda asked strangely: "My acting was already exaggerated enough before, is it even more exaggerated?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "I'll have a surprised expression first."
Wu Mengda glared at her eyes and opened her mouth wide and said, "Oh, it's amazing."
Kang Jianfei recalled Wu Mengda's screen image in his previous life and said, "Turn your neck a little further, your expression is exaggerated, and you're so silly... Very good, that's what it is, go and look in the mirror yourself."
Wu Mengda walked out of the door in confusion, ran to borrow a mirror from the owner of the house. After practicing in front of the mirror for a long time, he suddenly felt a little bit of insight in his heart.
There are only three actors in the plays in the Siheyuan, including Li Lianjie, Wu Mengda and Hui Yinghong. During the filming the next day, Wu Mengda's nonsensical performance shocked everyone, but Kang Jianfei was very satisfied.
In fact, Wu Mengda's current performance is not as crazy as he was when he was mature, but at this level is just right now. If he acts too hard, Kang Jianfei is really worried that the audience will not be able to accept it.
Wu Mengda performed well, but Li Lianjie gave Kang Jianfei a headache. It was a good idea when filming a fighting scene before. Most of the plots of Zhang Sanfeng's enlightenment and creation of Tai Chi in Siheyuan were literary dramas. And sometimes they were stupid and sometimes they were normal. This kind of drama was easy for the old actors, but it was challenging for Li Lianjie, a newcomer who had only filmed one drama.
"Crack," Kang Jianfei suddenly stopped and sighed at Li Lianjie, "Performance is more natural, your expression is too strong when you smile."
Li Lianjie pointed at Wu Mengda and said, "I learned from Brother Da."
Kang Jianfei corrected: "Wu Mengda is to use force when it is time to use force, relax when it is time to relax. You are also nervous when you smile, and that smile is too stiff."
"Oh, then I'll try again." Li Lianjie nodded and said.
Kang Jianfei pointed to Hui Yinghong and Wu Mengda and said, "You two tell him the story and take him. After all the machines are turned off, let the three of them line up a few times, so everyone can rest for a while."
The crew members dispersed in groups of three or three, Hui Yinghong, Wu Mengda and Li Lianjie came to a corner of the Siheyuan and began to discuss the performances later.
Li Lianjie asked in a sense of loss: "Sister Hong, Brother Da, am I stupid in acting?"
Wu Mengda smiled and said, "You are very stupid. My graduation score in the wireless training class was the top five in all aspects. This kind of performance is just a little bit."
Hui Yinghong took photos of Wu Mengda and then comforted him: "Actually, everyone is here, it will be easy to take photos a few more times."
Kang Jianfei came over at some point and said, "Ajie, when you were filming "Shaolin Temple", you played a young man who went to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. That role is about the same age as you, and basically played with your true nature, so you don't need any acting skills. But you are playing Zhang Sanfeng now. When you film the Shaolin Temple scenes, you can act like the last time. Most of the scenes in the military camp are fighting, and you can just talk with a tight face. But you have to slowly think about the scenes you are filming now. Now it's just a time to act crazy, and when you realize the Tao, you have to perform the temperament of a master when you realize the Tao. This is the most difficult for you."
Li Lianjie asked very seriously: "Director, how should I show the temperament of a master?"
Kang Jianfei said: "The old actors can achieve results in every move, but with your current experience, it is difficult to perform the kind of master temperament. You must remember two points. First, the master will not be as irritable as a young man, so your expressions and movements should not be too impetuous and frivolous; second, try to be as calm and chic when speaking, smiling, and walking. I will assign you a task now. After filming every day, you can practice for an hour to walk calmly."
Li Lianjie asked, "Is this enough?"
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "I can only say that I have to make up for it as much as possible. After all, Zhang Sanfeng in the script is at least twenty-seven or eight years old, and you are not nineteen years old. You three can rehearse first, I'll watch it."
Due to Li Lianjie's acting skills, Kang Jianfei could only stop and slowly accompany Li Lianjie to beat Li Lianjie, and his progress was slower than when filming a fighting scene at a climax. This scene that the old actor filmed for up to five days, and Kang Jianfei accompanied Li Lianjie for eleven days, which made Li Lianjie dare not look at him when he saw Kang Jianfei.
