Perfect Superstar

As the most popular stars in the domestic entertainment circle, Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er have a common characteristic, that is, they never play big names, and they never consider themselves superior, so in the circle, the two have more friends than enemies a lot of.

Similarly, Chenfei Media, co-founded by the two, has also continued this style of acting in an upright manner, focusing on win-win and mutual benefit, and treating partners sincerely.

Like this time when they came to the summit to take pictures, the attitude of the local government was very enthusiastic, and they were very polite and courteous, but Lu Chen didn't think this was justified, nor would he feel arrogant and contemptuous.

Donating to build the Shaolin Temple in the past showed the sincerity of cooperation, and now the personal donation is also based on the need to establish a good relationship with Dengfeng, laying the most solid foundation for long-term cooperation in the future.

When filming Sword Out of Huashan, Lu Chen donated 30 million in Ningshan.

And his attitude undoubtedly won the admiration of all Dengfeng local officials, including Mayor Lu, almost patted his chest to guarantee support and cooperate with the work of the crew.

The next day, Lu Chen, Chen Feier, together with several crew members, accompanied by Mayor Lu and several officials, visited the Songshan Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Wuru Peak in Songshan Mountain, Dengfeng City. Because it is located in the dense jungle of Shaoshi Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain, it is named Shaolin Temple. It was built in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (495). The famous Indian monk Bhatuo built it at the northern foot of Songshan Shaoshi Mountain, which faces the capital Luoyang.

This thousand-year-old temple has been destroyed by war several times and rebuilt several times. Because it is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism in Chinese Buddhism, it has become a provincial cultural protection unit and can be regarded as a scenic spot in Songshan Scenic Area.

However, due to the lack of funds in the local area and the lack of reputation of Shaolin Temple, the temple Lu Chen saw with his own eyes could not be compared with the memory in Dream World.

The walls of the temple are old and a bit dilapidated. The paint on the surface of the wall has not been washed for a long time. It is mottled and peeled off and even invaded by moss. The main entrance of the temple is ordinary and does not have the style of the famous mountain temple. The gold letters written in Emperor Qianlong's handwriting are dull and dull, giving off a somewhat bleak taste.

If such a scene is filmed in a movie, then the audience will definitely laugh their heads off. Who is the most powerful faction in the world bluffing with this appearance?

There is a fence in front of the Shaolin Temple for tourists to enter and exit, but there are very few tourists, basically they come to offer incense and worship Buddha, and it seems that the incense is not too strong.

Lu Chen asked for a while and found out that Songshan Temple is the first choice for tourists and pilgrims to come to Mount Songshan to worship Buddha. Shaolin Temple only started to collect tickets in recent years.

The annual income in this area is about hundreds of thousands.

Speaking of this, the local tourism director was still very embarrassed, because he proposed to set up a Shaolin Temple industrial development company, and the Shaolin Temple itself is not considered a very high-quality asset.

Lu Chen was a little speechless after hearing the hundreds of thousands of ticket money a year.

In Dream World, this thousand-year-old temple is known as the number one temple in the world, and its fame spreads all over the world. The revenue from ticket sales alone is as high as 300 to 400 million a year. Adding in other income, the benefits it creates are quite astonishing.

However, the success of Shaolin Temple in Dream World is not without reason. At first, it was also very hard work. Later, because a movie Shaolin Temple became popular in China, it ushered in a leap forward development.

Without this movie in the real world, Shaolin Temple has been silent until now. Lu Chen had a faint feeling that he was creating history, so he didn't care about the predicament Shaolin Temple is facing now.

He came to change!

However, if it is dilapidated, there are still real things in the Shaolin Temple, such as the Buddhist scriptures pavilion and the Pagoda Forest. In particular, the Shaolin Pagoda Forest has more than 240 brick and stone tomb pagodas from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. , varying in thickness and in various forms, and is currently applying to become a national cultural relic protection unit.

In addition, there are also scenic spots such as Dharma 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 deep.

In addition to these scenes, Shaolin martial arts is also a major feature of Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism. The purpose of holding back thoughts and entering meditation 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, monks and soldiers were used to protect the temple from bandits, but now it has become a tourist attraction.

The current abbot of Shaolin Temple, Shi Yongda, is a burly middle-aged monk. He was very warm and courteous about 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 Daxiong Palace, the Sutra Pavilion, the Pagoda Forest 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, but their boxing and staff performances are quite exciting, and they have a bit of real kung fu, which cannot be compared with pure routines.

Seeing Lu Chen staring intently, Shi Yongda smiled and said to him: Benefactor Lu, if you choose to shoot a movie in Shaolin Temple, all our Shaolin monks can follow your command to participate in the filming.

This abbot is not an ascetic monk who does not listen to outside affairs. He is very aware of how important this opportunity is to Shaolin Temple, so he put on 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 the movie is being made in Shaolin Temple, these ready-made monks must be used, but just watching the performance is not enough, he wants to try their skills.

Of course, there is also 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 for a moment, and looked at Mayor Lu involuntarily, what should I do?

For Shaolin Temple, Lu Chen is definitely a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests. It is risky to fight without eyes. If you get hurt, wouldn't you offend others? And if the water is released, will it make Lu Chen dissatisfied?

The abbot was very troubled for a while.

The corner of Mayor Lu's mouth twitched, but he didn't give him any hints, no doubt letting him decide.

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Yongda still bite the bullet and said: It's okay to compete, it's just...

Lu Chen knew his scruples, and said with a smile: The martial arts trial is up to the point, I have a measure.

For the sake of his words, Shi Yongda had no choice but to agree, and arranged for a monk to compete with Lu Chen——
