The filming in the Shaolin Temple was expected to take five days, but after three days, half of the filming was not completed, especially the last scene of Zhang Sanfeng and Dong Tianbao breaking the stick formation, which was very time-consuming to shoot. Judging from the current progress, just
The Shaolin Temple scene took a week to shoot.
Several monks in Shaolin Temple, apart from chanting sutras, spend most of their time working. Not only do they sweep the floor and organize the sutras, they also have to carry water and grow vegetables, otherwise they will starve to death on the mountain.
Even though Kang Jianfei donated thousands of dollars in incense money, the monks could not just sit back and continue their tradition.
Reciting sutras while farming, this can be regarded as a leisurely farming and studying life - if you don't go hungry.
It was getting late, another day of shooting was over, and the crew members who had been busy all day went to take a shower and prepare for dinner.
Kang Jianfei looked at the thin monk coming back with a hoe in the dusk in the distance, and suddenly asked the monk Yongxin next to him: "Little Master Yongxin, if one day the monks in Shaolin Temple can eat enough just by chanting sutras and preaching Buddhism, and they can also live a happy life."
Moisture, what do you think of that kind of life?"
Yongxin was sent by his master, Master Xingzheng, to follow Kang Jianfei specifically to assist in the shooting. Monk Yongxin is only 16 years old now, and his life at the foot of the mountain is definitely better than that in the Shaolin Temple. However, he took the initiative to ask his father to send him up the mountain.
The heart of Buddha can illuminate the sun and moon.
"Amitabha," Yongxin said longingly, "if the monks in Shaolin Temple can eat enough just by chanting sutras, then the sentient beings under the mountain will definitely live a good life in peace and prosperity, which the young monk yearns for."
Kang Jianfei was extremely surprised when he heard this answer. Compared with the 16-year-old monk Yongxin, Zhen Zidan's emotional intelligence is simply unbearable. No wonder this monk can 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 the future."
Yongxin said humbly: "Eminent monks dare not say anything, as long as they wholeheartedly believe in Buddha, everyone can become a Buddha."
Kang Jianfei asked strangely: "It seems that you have only been up the mountain for half a year. How come you speak with such Buddha nature?"
Yongxin said: "I read Buddhist scriptures at the foot of the mountain. After I went up the mountain, I practiced with my master every day. I didn't dare to be lazy one day."
Kang Jianfei asked wickedly: "Then will you consecrate people now?"
Yongxin shook his head and replied: "The young monk's practice has been shallow and he has never learned to consecrate."
While the two were answering questions, a steward shouted: "Director, dinner is ready."
Naturally, all the meals the crew ate while filming in the Shaolin Temple were vegetarian, in order to supplement everyone's nutrition. Every meal included soy products, which are no worse than eating meat.
Due to the trouble of going up and down the mountain, the crew all lived in the temple, and the cook also lived in the Shaolin Temple. They built a brick stove and set up a big pot in the Shaolin Temple, and also prepared meals for the six monks. The monks were so happy that they shouted together.
Amitabha.
Shaolin Temple was set on fire by warlord friend Sanyi more than fifty years ago. The Heavenly King Hall, Daxiong Hall, Bell Tower, Dharma Hall and other buildings were burned to the ground. Many boxing records and Buddhist scriptures were also burned. Since then, Shaolin Temple has become worse day by day.
After the decline, the number of monks in the temple was reduced to single digits.
Nowadays, the remains of the burned remains are still there. Several monks in Shaolin Temple are having a hard time making a living, and they do not have the energy or money to repair them. Fortunately, many scriptures and boxing manuals from that year were rescued from the fire by the monks and are still preserved.
Quite a few, and the Shaolin Temple is located high in the mountains and far away from the people, so the several movements of New China have not affected it much, and it has not been damaged again.
Regardless of whether you believe in Buddhism or not, these monks in Shaolin Temple are still worthy of admiration. Because of these people, the precious Buddhist scriptures and boxing records of Shaolin Temple have been properly kept for decades, otherwise it would not have been able to develop so fast after the 1980s.
Most people in Hong Kong are superstitious and worship gods and Buddhas. Especially after seeing the poor life of the six monks of Shaolin Temple, they have even more respect for them.
When the meal started, the crew had already taken the initiative to prepare meals for the monks. All the seats were made available for them, which made the monks thank them profusely.
As soon as Kang Jianfei sat down, Wen Bixia had already handed over a bowl of rice with a lot of tomatoes and fried tofu in it.
Kang Jianfei patted Wen Bixia on the head to express his praise. He was about to eat when he heard Zhen Zidan, who was doing odd jobs on the set, ask: "Abbott, I saw you guys practicing boxing yesterday. Have you been practicing all this time?"
Abbot Xingzheng chewed green vegetables and said, "I have been practicing."
Zhen Zidan said excitedly: "You are still so thin when you practice martial arts. It seems that you can't even beat ordinary people. Are you practicing the kind of internal strength in novels?"
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 in Songshan Mountain, and sometimes we encounter wild beasts. We monks practice martial arts to deal with wild beasts and diseases."
Zhen Zidan was a little disappointed and said: "Half-day is not an internal skill. Seeing that you don't have any muscles in your arms, I guess you're not very powerful."
As soon as this statement came out, many people in the crew frowned. It seemed a bit excessive to say such things to these poor monks.
Zhen Zidan was completely unaware of his problem. After saying this, he ate the food and praised the chef's skills from time to time.
The youngest monk in the Shaolin Temple was only thirteen years old. Hearing Zhen Zidan's words, he felt a little embarrassed and choked: "You may not look strong, but you definitely can't beat Uncle Su Neng from the back mountain. I saw with my own eyes that he subdued a big head."
Wild boar.”
The mountain behind Shaolin Temple?
Is it possible that there really is such a hermit master as written in the novel?
Everyone looked at the abbot, wanting to get a definite answer from him, because this would be in line with everyone's expectations of Shaolin Temple.
Abbot Xingzheng shook his head and said nothing. Kang Jianfei suddenly remembered the Shaolin Temple's promotional video and asked, "Is it the Shaolin Temple's wish?"
Abbot Xingzheng was slightly surprised and said: "Does the donor also know the Shaolin Temple's intentions?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "I have heard my master say something since I was a child, which is called 'Bagua is a thief, Tai Chi is slippery, but the most poisonous thing is the mind.' This mind control is the Kung Fu of Shaolin."
At this time, Abbot Xingzheng ignored Chen Mo, a government official, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, I want to combine Zen, martial arts and medicine to learn martial arts from Shan. The 'poison' is really the prejudice of outsiders."
Brother and sister Hui Yinghong and Hui Tianci are both actors in kung fu movies, but they have never heard of the name Xinyixuan, and the same goes for the martial arts team members.
At this time, listening to the conversation between Kang Jianfei and the abbot, it felt like a master discussing martial arts in a novel.
Zhen Zidan is a bit of a martial arts fanatic. When he heard the name "Xin Yi Ba", he quickly asked: "What kind of martial arts is Xin Yi Ba? Is it very powerful?"
Everyone wanted to ask this question. After Zhen Zidan asked, everyone was waiting for Abbot Xingzheng to answer.
Kang Jianfei, however, had a little understanding of the heart. There was a scene that often appeared in later movies and TV series, that is, there was a practice room in the Shaolin Temple, and the stone floor inside was bumpy.
Those bumpy places were left by ancient warrior monks when they practiced their mind.
In the Shaolin promotional video, Xin Yi Biao was originally an undisclosed secret of Shaolin monks' training. Later, a guy named Wu Shanlin insisted on joining the Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts. After Wu Shanlin became Xin Yi Biao, he was found to have bad conduct.
He immediately became the last disciple of Shaolin Temple to be expelled from the temple in modern times.
Soon after, the warlord friend San burned down the Shaolin Temple, and the Xin Yi Bar was lost as a result. Instead, the abandoned disciple Wu Shanlin allowed the Xin Yi Bar to be continued.
Later, another young man became a disciple of Wu Shanlin's disciple. After watching "Shaolin Temple" next year, this disciple would go to the Shaolin Temple to learn from his master and return the secret Shaolin mindfulness to the Shaolin Temple. This young man would later be De
Master Jian, Shaolin Temple even built a Zen temple for him in the back mountain.
However, there are so many doubts in this statement that it simply cannot withstand rigorous scrutiny. More people who study martial arts believe that Wu Shanlin did not learn all of his inner thoughts when he first learned them, and his complete inner thoughts and skills are still in the Shaolin Temple.
After eating, Kang Jianfei pulled Monk Yongxin into the dark and asked, "Where does Master Suneng live?"
Monk Yongxin shook his head and said: "It's in the back mountain, but 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 the Shaolin Temple before, but the Shigou Temple, and the idea came from there. Although the Shigou Temple has been destroyed, there are still some remains of the caves there. Shaolin Temple
The Xinyi Dao technique was originally painted on the wall of the Baiyi Palace, which was burned down and lost. However, more than ten years ago, Master Suneng discovered the complete Xinyi Dao in the cave of Shigou Temple in the back mountain, so he created it
Moved there and lived there.”
Damn, this is the real martial arts idiot. In order to practice martial arts, he moved to the mountains and lived alone for more than ten years.
Kang Jianfei was really itchy and said: "Little Master Yongxin, please take me to the back mountain to find Master Suneng. I will thank you profusely when you come back."
Monk Yongxin put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, monks regard fame and fortune as floating clouds. The donor wants to visit Master Suneng, I will just take you there. Why tempt me with benefits?"
Kang Jianfei said quickly: "Sin, sin, little master, please lead the way."
Monk Yongxin said: "I'm going to get two torches first. The road in the mountains is not easy to walk at night."
"No, please wait for me." Kang Jianfei ran to the field attendant and got two flashlights, handed one to Monk Yongxin, and said, "Just use this."
Flashlights are not very popular in mainland China yet. Monk Yongxin kept turning the light on and off, saying happily: "This light is really convenient."
Kang Jianfei said: "If you like it, I will give this to you."
Monk Yongxin said: "Amitabha, if all the brothers and sisters in the temple have a flashlight, it will be much easier to walk at night in the future."
As expected of Master Yongxin who has a sense of teamwork, Kang Jianfei was impressed and promised: "Young master is right, I will give each of you a handful later." 8
