After the competition, Lu Chen and others had a vegetarian meal at the Shaolin Temple.
The vegetarian restaurant in Shaolin Temple is quite famous, and the master chef in charge is a national special chef, who earns an annual salary of millions outside the world. However, he was born in Shaolin and believed in Buddhism, so he has always been a chef in the temple.
Lu Chen and others were full of praise for this vegetarian meal, and many details of the cooperation were finalized during the dinner.
For the Shaolin Temple, this time the Shaolin Industrial Development Company was jointly established by the Dengfeng Municipal Government and Chenfei Media. It is simply a big pie falling from the world, and it is truly welcomed with both hands.
Shaolin Abbot Shi Yongda is not that pedantic. He is very supportive of this cooperation. Therefore, except for some specific terms, the general intentions of the three parties have basically been agreed upon, and there are no major obstacles.
After using Su Zhai, Shi Yongda warmly invited Lu Chen to leave a calligraphy treasure for Shaolin.
This is also the custom of the temple. When important guests come to visit, they will leave handwriting to show respect. Of course, not everyone knows calligraphy, and the same goes for signing and name.
The great abbot knew Lu Chen well and knew that Lu Chen could do calligraphy, otherwise his suggestion would not be just for fun but would offend others.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and agreed.
When Lu Chen was a child, he learned calligraphy from his grandfather and won the first prize in calligraphy among primary school students in the city. As a representative of Binhai City, he participated in competitions across the province. It was not until he went to high school and college that he gradually gave up.
However, his skills are still there, and under the influence of Mo Ran in the dream world, he occasionally takes time to practice while practicing martial arts, and has also written about it on his blog, so many people know that his handwriting is good.
In the Zen room of the Shaolin Temple, Lu Chen took up a pen and wrote on the rice paper the seven characters "The world's martial arts comes from Shaolin".
His calligraphy cannot be said to be very strong. It is certainly much worse than real calligraphers, but it is definitely among the best in the entertainment industry. Moreover, he practiced martial arts in Shaolin, and his writing has the power of martial arts. These days
The characters are written with force and flow through the back of the paper, and the pen moves with great majesty.
"Good words!"
Mayor Lu and Shi Yongda both praised each other. Both of them knew calligraphy, especially Shi Yongda, who was a master of calligraphy and could naturally tell the difference between calligraphy and calligraphy.
As a young man in his twenties and not a professional calligrapher, Lu Chen's calligraphy is quite good.
The most important thing is the seven words "Shaolin is the best in martial arts in the world", which elevates the status of Shaolin Temple to a very high level.
Lu Chen didn't just write and praise it randomly. The saying that "the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin" has been around since ancient times, but people nowadays don't know much about it, and most of those who know it don't take it seriously. The Shaolin Temple can't brag about it.
As a very influential star, Lu Chen praised Shaolin Temple more highly than any advertisement!
Shi Yongda immediately decided to frame it and put it in the guest hall so that all visitors could see it.
After their trip to Shaolin, Lu Chen and his party returned to the hotel.
That night, the official v of "Swordsman" released a video of the battle between Lu Chen and Shi Yongzhen on his blog.
Lu Chen and Chenfei Media reposted this video at the same time, immediately attracting countless netizens to watch.
"Awesome my morning!"
"This great monk is also very powerful. He is on a par with me Chen. Not bad."
"Wonderful! This Kung Fu fight is so exciting!"
"Shaolin Temple? Where is it?"
"I'm so dizzy, haven't you read the novel "The Swordsman"?"
"In the book, the Shaolin Temple is the largest sect in the world!"
"Ah? Is there really a Shaolin Temple?"
"I am so ignorant..."
Shaolin Temple is quite famous in the area where people climb the mountain. Most locals know about it. However, few people know about it nationwide. Among Lu Chen's fans, the only ones who know about Shaolin Temple are those who have watched "The Swordsman"
》The person who wrote the original novel.
The first song of "The Swordsman", "The Sword Out of Huashan", does not involve the Shaolin Temple, so many fans are not sure. It is understandable that they are surprised by the competition between Lu Chen and the Shaolin monks.
But when this sparring video spread quickly on the Internet, the reputation of the Shaolin Temple suddenly increased. Many people searched for information related to the Shaolin Temple through search engines, only to learn that the Shaolin Temple had a glorious history.
On October 18, the Dengfeng Municipal Government held a press conference to announce that the municipal government, Chenfei Media, and Shaolin Temple would jointly establish Shaolin Temple Industrial Development Co., Ltd. to promote Shaolin martial arts culture, promote the development of Songshan tourism, etc.
Among them, Chenfei Media invested RMB 300 million, accounting for 40% of the shares, Shaolin Temple invested the temple property and also accounted for 40% of the shares, and Dengfeng Municipal Government invested 300 acres of land and forestry near the Shaolin Temple, accounting for 20% of the shares.
In addition to investing in the renovation and expansion of the Shaolin Temple, the newly established Shaolin Temple Industrial Development Co., Ltd. will also establish a Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Research Center and a Shaolin Martial Arts Center. The former will study Shaolin Martial Arts, and the latter will be used to cultivate Shaolin Martial Arts talents.
According to Lu Chen's plan, the Shaolin Martial Arts Hall will become a talent training base for the Lu family class, providing a steady stream of new blood for his grand martial arts IP plan.
In the eyes of many people, Chenfei Media spent 300 million to buy 40% of the shares of the Shaolin Temple and suffered a big loss and was taken advantage of, because the entire Shaolin Temple may not be worth 300 million.
In fact, as long as we can find a suitable place and invest one or two billion, we can build a temple larger than the Shaolin Temple. Why invest huge sums of money without having a controlling stake?
But in Lu Chen's opinion, the money was definitely worth it. Once the Shaolin Temple becomes famous, it will be able to recoup its costs by selling tickets in the future, and it will also make a lot of money.
Now it is not a big problem for Chenfei Media to take a controlling stake, but when the Shaolin Temple is making a lot of money every day, the issue becomes very sensitive, because the Shaolin Temple itself is a cultural protection unit, and the state has policy restrictions.
Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, giving up controlling rights to establish friendly cooperative relations with Dengfeng Municipal Government and Shaolin Temple is the way to achieve long-term and lasting benefits.
Moreover, this money is not a one-time investment, so there is not much pressure on Chenfei Media.
In addition, Chenfei Media also announced that after filming the last two parts of "The Swordsman", it will invest 150 million to shoot a movie named "Shaolin Temple", which is expected to be released during the Spring Festival in 2020.
With such a series of big moves, coupled with spontaneous publicity by the media, countless eyes have turned to Dengfeng and Shaolin Temple.
On October 19, Shaolin Temple Official V was launched on Inspur Blog, and the number of fans exceeded 100,000 that day!
At the same time, the filming work of the "Swordsman" crew is in full swing in Songshan.
