Monk Kong Fu was not lying. During this period, Shaolin's secular martial arts school industry has indeed been affected a lot. Although it is not a big deal, the masters and the others have said that they must prepare for a rainy day. What's more, ancient sects like Shaolin Temple are now very popular.
To a large extent, they rely on the martial arts schools below to make money.
Haven't you seen the dozens of martial arts schools under the name of Shaolin in Songshan Mountain?
With the help of the promotion of film and television works, martial arts schools including Shaolin Wudang and other martial arts schools have formed a considerable industry, the market is huge, and it has even become a pillar industry in the local area.
To be honest, Uncle Master and the others did not expect that a movie "Once Upon a Time in the Wrath of the Sea", especially the theme song, would have such a huge impact, and it even affected the enrollment of martial arts schools under the Shaolin Temple.
But yes, when those children went to Shaolin to attend the martial arts school, weren't they also influenced by the movie "The Eighteen Stick Monk"? It really turns out that things are changing.
Zhang Jiangang's expression almost changed. "Are you sure you didn't deceive me? Are you that exaggerated? Besides, the copyright of that song belongs to me. I did it to promote Zhang's longevity boxing and Zhang's square dance." Zhang Jiangang said.
The copyright of "Men Should Be Strong" belongs to me. It's the exclusive background music I specially customized for Zhang's Longevity Boxing. It is actually used by Wudang and other traditional sects for commercial activities and for recruiting students in martial arts schools?
And it is regarded as the signature music of Tai Chi? Wudang, you have gone too far!
Okay, okay! Prepare to file a lawsuit, bro!
Sorry, uncle, I have to go door to door to collect copyright fees~ Zhang Jiangang couldn't help but chuckle when he thought about it at the end.
"It's absolutely true, Mr. Zhang, old benefactor, who can say otherwise! Especially Wudang, blatantly used your hard-earned work, old benefactor, to recruit students. To be honest, I can't stand it anymore, little monk. I don't have any sense of copyright.
"Don't worry, Old Donor Zhang, we Shaolin will definitely support you, Old Donor, in filing a lawsuit with them! As long as you say a word, we, we will help you find a lawyer~"
"..."
Oh my God, is there such disharmony between your sects just for recruiting students?
I thought I said you Shaolin people would help me to kill Wudang Mountain, but it turned out that you were helping me find a lawyer.
"If they don't use it, then why don't you Shaolin Temple use it? Hey, hey, please let go of your hand and stay away from me. The smell of garlic in your mouth is too strong."
"..."
"Okay, okay, old benefactor, it's not that we don't want to use it, but old benefactor, your song is not suitable for our Shaolin. It has no Buddhist flavor. And the only one in "Once Upon a Time: The Wrath of the Sea" has something to do with Shaolin.
The character he is related to is a villain. He is a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple, but he is just a graduate of the Shaolin Martial Arts School."
"The fourth male lead in the movie is actually a Wudang disciple. Look at the photos of him, he is tall and glorious, heroic and profound, and he is also handsome."
"When we came to our place, the villain in the movie, a Shaolin lay disciple, was overturned as soon as we met him. Do you think this movie is disgusting? You said you found an excuse to say that this lay disciple is an abandoned disciple of our Shaolin, or because
Those who violate the precepts will be expelled from Shaolin."
As he spoke, he stepped back on an empty stomach to prevent the smell of garlic from spreading in his mouth.
"Don't be so pretentious, it's just a movie." Zhang Jiangang wiped his cold sweat.
"Old donor, you can't say that. Although it's a movie, how can people outside think so much? They will only think that Shaolin is vulnerable. They didn't watch this period and sent their children to Shaolin Wenwu School.
Are there no parents anymore, old benefactor?"
"The influence of this movie is so great that even the children in our Shaolin martial arts school were holding their breath after watching it."
What Kong Fu said about the influence of movies is true. For example, according to what Zhang Jiangang knows about Shaolin in the past life of the earth, wasn't it because of the movie "Shaolin Temple" that children all over the country went crazy and ran to Songshan Mountain, one by one?
Everyone wants to become a martial arts master.
Some foreigners even went to the mountains to learn martial arts. Many later Chinese Sanda, fighting athletes, including film and television, and action stars were influenced by it.
However, when "Shaolin Temple" was released, China's national conditions were different and there were few movies, so it could have such an influence. Although there are many movies made in the following years that have strong influence, they are definitely compared with "Shaolin Temple"
Unmatched.
It's a pity that this movie is so old that Zhang Jiangang can't remember the plot in it. He only knows that it was very popular at that time.
Zhang Jiangang thought this, while Monk Kong Fu opposite him continued to sigh.
"Even our host has thought about making a movie. We are planning to find a famous director to make it. We have bought the script. Our uncle also said that we should at least shoot a recruitment advertisement or something first, but there is one thing
, the theme song must be chosen right! At least it should be on the level of your old benefactor's song "Men Should Be Strong"." Looking at Zhang Jiangang, the empty-stomach monk said.
Zhang Jiangang breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, I thought you were asking me to write a script.
That's a coincidence about the Once Upon a Time series. As for the Shaolin Temple movie, Zhang Jiangang really can't remember anything about it. After all, it was so long ago.
"After working for a long time, you are really here to invite me to sing?" Zhang Jiangang said looking at Monk Kong Fu.
Even though he had confirmed the other party's intention to come, Zhang Jiangang still felt it was a bit absurd. Are these sects on this earth so keeping pace with the times? They have to create promotional videos for themselves.
"Yes, yes, the young monk's uncle said it's best to hear this song and people in the world will be reminded of the thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple, just like hearing "A Man Should Be Strong" will be reminded of Huang Feihong, and it must also embody my Shaolin martial arts.
If you can learn the basics and feel yearned for it after listening to it, it would be best if you want to send your children to the civil and martial arts school in our Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts and become talented." Kong Fu nodded desperately.
"..."
When you hear the song, you think of sending your children to the civil and martial arts school in Shaolin Temple? That’s straightforward enough!
Also, when I heard "Men Should Strengthen themselves", I thought of Huang Feihong. Shouldn't I also think of "Zhang's Health and Longevity Boxing"? It seems that it is still not promoted enough and its influence is not enough.
Anyway, after hearing this, Zhang Jiangang was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Isn’t this song ready-made?
To be honest, if Shaolin hadn't come to my doorstep for this song, I wouldn't know who I would have sold it to.
"What's wrong, old donor?" Monk Kongfu trembled when he saw Zhang Jiangang's smile. Because that look reminded him of the old fox.
"Oh, it's okay, it's easy to talk about the song. Let's go for a walk, little master, and chat while walking. By the way, let's talk about the copyright fee for the song."
After patting Kong Fu on the shoulder, Zhang Jiangang also became enthusiastic.
Of course, it is not just to earn a few song copyright fees, but also because Zhang Jiangang also takes this opportunity to learn about the sects of this earth, such as Shaolin and Wudang. After all, they will play a very big role once the spiritual energy is revived.
Furthermore, Zhang Jiangang wanted to use Kongfu to find out whether these sects on this earth have any sense of the world that is about to change, and how to know themselves and their enemies. Also, their cultivation, life and arrangements before the spiritual energy was revived, etc.
However, deep down in his heart, Zhang Jiangang felt that sects such as Shaolin and Wudang should not know anything for the time being, otherwise they would not bother to advertise and compete for students for their secular civil and military schools.
Just like in the previous life, if they had known about it, they would have probably closed the mountain gate as soon as possible. After all, the first wave and even the previous waves of heaven and earth spiritual energy were too precious.
It happened to be a rare opportunity, and the monk came to his door. Zhang Jiangang naturally wanted to take the opportunity to chat for a while longer.
"Copyright fees? Donor Zhang, let's talk about the songs first."
"Don't be in a hurry, little monk. I've already felt the song as soon as you told it. Maybe it will come out after a little brewing. Listen to the uncle, let's talk about the copyright fee first, and we'll talk as we go."
"..." Little monk, sir, I'm over forty, please don't call me little monk, okay?
It will come out after a while of brewing. Is the old donor sure that what comes out is a song?
"Copyright fee~" The fasting monk frowned, and then looked at Zhang Jiangang, "Old donor, you also know that it is not easy for us monks to make some money, and we regard money as dirt. If it is not like this, I beg my Shaolin uncle.
No, please ask our abbot to recite sutras and recite the Buddha's name to you, old benefactor, and it will be used as copyright royalties. What do you think, old benefactor?"
"Okay, okay, uncle, I have something else to do, bye, let's talk next time~"
