As the most popular celebrities in the domestic entertainment circle, Lu Chen and Filia Chen have a common characteristic, that is, they never act like celebrities, and they never consider themselves superior to others, so in the circle, they have more friends than enemies.
a lot of.
Similarly, Chenfei Media, co-founded by the two, has continued this style, acting in an upright manner, focusing on win-win and mutual benefit, and treating partners sincerely.
Like this time when I came to the peak for filming, the attitude of the local government was very enthusiastic, and they were courteous and considerate. However, Lu Chen did not think that this was a matter of course, and he would not be arrogant or contemptuous.
The previous donation to build the Shaolin Temple was to show the sincerity of cooperation, and now the personal donation is also based on the need to establish a good relationship with the summit and lay the solid foundation for long-term cooperation in the future.
When filming "The Sword Out of Huashan", Lu Chen donated 30 million in Ningshan.
His attitude undoubtedly won the admiration of all the local officials on the summit, including Mayor Lu, who almost patted their chests and promised to support and cooperate with the crew's work.
The next day, Lu Chen and Filia Chen, together with many crew members, accompanied by Mayor Lu and several officials, visited the Songshan Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Wuru Peak of Songshan Mountain in Dengfeng City. It is named "Shaolin Temple" because it is located in the dense jungle of Shaoshi Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain. It was built in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (495). It was built by Emperor Xiaowen to house his revered temple.
It was built by the Indian eminent monk Bhattacharya at the northern foot of Shaoshi Mountain in Songshan Mountain, opposite the capital Luoyang.
This thousand-year-old temple has been destroyed by wars several times and rebuilt several times. Because it is the ancestral temple of Zen Buddhism in Han Dynasty, it has become a provincial-level cultural protection unit and can be regarded as an attraction in the Songshan Scenic Area.
However, due to the lack of local funds and the lack of fame of the Shaolin Temple, the temple that Lu Chen saw with his own eyes could not be compared with the memory in the dream world.
The walls of the temple are old and a bit dilapidated. The paint on the surface of the wall has not been painted for an unknown period of time. It is mottled and peeling and even covered with moss. The main entrance of the temple is ordinary and does not have the grandeur of a famous mountain temple. On the plaque hanging under the eaves,
The gold characters in Emperor Qianlong's handwriting are dull and dull, giving off a somewhat bleak flavor.
If such a scene were filmed in a movie, the audience would definitely laugh their ass off. Who would the world's biggest sect be trying to scare with this appearance?
There is a fence in front of the Shaolin Temple for tourists to enter and exit, but there are only a few tourists. Basically, they come to offer incense and worship Buddha, and it seems that the incense is not very strong.
After asking around, Lu Chen found out that Songshan Temple is the first choice for tourists and pilgrims to come to Songshan to offer incense and worship Buddha. Shaolin Temple has only started to collect tickets in recent years, and the annual income from this aspect is about hundreds of thousands.
Speaking of this, the local tourism director was still very embarrassed because they proposed to set up a Shaolin Temple Industrial Development Company, and the Shaolin Temple itself was not considered a very high-quality asset.
Lu Chen was a little speechless after hearing that the tickets cost hundreds of thousands a year.
In the dream world, this thousand-year-old temple is known as the best temple in the world, and its fame spreads all over the world. The annual ticket revenue alone is as high as 300 to 400 million yuan. When combined with other incomes, the benefits created are quite astonishing.
But the success of the Shaolin Temple in the Dream World is not without reason. It was also very difficult at first. Later, it ushered in a rapid development because the movie "Shaolin Temple" became a big hit in China.
In the real world, without this movie, the Shaolin Temple has been silent until now. Lu Chen had a vague feeling that he was making history, so he didn't care about the predicament that the Shaolin Temple was facing now.
He is here to change!
However, it is dilapidated, but there are still real things in the Shaolin Temple, such as the Sutra Pavilion and the Pagoda Forest. In particular, the Shaolin Pagoda Forest has more than 240 bricks and stone tombs from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. The tombs of these eminent Shaolin monks from the past dynasties vary in size.
, various thicknesses and forms, and is currently applying to become a national cultural protection unit.
There are also scenic spots such as Bodhidharma Cave and Gan Terrace. There are many pines and cypresses in the temple, many of which are hundreds or even thousands of years old, so the heritage is quite profound.
In addition to these scenery, Shaolin martial arts is also a major feature of Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism aims at enlightening one's mind and one's nature, and achieving enlightenment and becoming a Buddha. The monks practice martial arts to achieve concentration.
The purpose of eliminating worries and entering concentration is also to strengthen the body and prolong life.
Shaolin Temple has always had the habit of raising monks and soldiers. Shaolin monks are quite famous. Originally, the monks and soldiers were used to protect the temple from bandits, but now they have become a tourist attraction.
The current abbot of Shaolin Temple, Shi Yongda, is a burly middle-aged monk. He was very warm and polite to the arrival of his parents, Lu Chen and others, and he obviously already knew the relevant news.
Accompanied by the abbot, Lu Chen and others visited the Main Hall, Sutra Pavilion, Tallinn and other places, and finally watched the performance of the monks.
There are not many Shaolin monks, and only a dozen of them participated in the drill. However, the boxing and stick skills they performed were quite exciting and had some real kung fu. They were not comparable to pure routines.
Seeing Lu Chen staring intently, Shi Yongda smiled and said to him: "Donor Lu, if you choose to film a movie in the Shaolin Temple, all our Shaolin monks can follow your command and participate in the filming."
This abbot is not an ascetic monk who is deaf to the outside world. He knows very well how important this opportunity is to the Shaolin Temple, so he has put forward a posture of fully cooperating.
Lu Chen nodded and suddenly asked: "Can I compete with the master of your temple and learn from each other?"
Since he was filming a movie in the Shaolin Temple, he would definitely make use of these ready-made monks, but just watching the performances was not enough. He wanted to try their skills.
Of course, there are also reasons for the memory plot of the dream world in it.
Shi Yongda obviously did not expect that Lu Chen would make such a request. He hesitated and looked at Mayor Lu. What should he do?
For the Shaolin Temple, Lu Chen is definitely a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests. There are risks in sparring with fists and kicks. If you get hurt, wouldn't it offend someone? And if you let go, will Lu Chen be dissatisfied?
The great abbot was very confused for a moment.
Mayor Lu's mouth twitched, but he didn't give him any hint. He undoubtedly let him make the decision on his own.
After hesitating for a moment, Shi Yongda still said bravely: "It's okay to compete, but..."
Lu Chen knew his scruples and said with a smile: "We'll end the martial arts competition at the test point. I have a sense of discretion."
What he said came to this point, so Shi Yongda had no choice but to agree and arrange for a monk to compete with Lu Chen——
