"Make a movie named after the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain?" Mayor Wu and others were shocked, and their eyes widened.
Since Tianhai is an entertainment company, they had made many speculations about Wang Xuan's publicity plan before this, such as inviting celebrities to speak for themselves, shooting advertising videos, buying hot searches... and so on. I just didn't expect that Wang Xuan actually planned to shoot a large-scale ancient costume martial arts movie called "Shaolin Temple" in Songshan. Isn't this a big deal?
"Yes, the relevant script has been completed. It is expected to enter the casting stage at the end of the month and start filming within two months." Wang Xuan said. In fact, if everything goes well, filming may start next month, but Wang Xuan doesn't like to Full of words.
"Okay, okay, Teacher Wang Xuan, Tianhai can come to us if he needs anything at that time, and we will do our best to assist." Mayor Wu said. Because this is really a good thing for Yangcheng.
"Thank you, thank you. Maybe Mayor Wu will be needed for help when the time comes." Wang Xuan said.
"You're welcome, because Teacher Wang Xuan is also helping us in Yangcheng. Yangcheng's economy has been unable to develop, and our hair is almost turning gray with worry. If we can really build Songshan Shaolin Temple into a famous scenic special area , not only is it a great thing for Yangcheng, it is a great achievement for the Yangcheng government, and it is also a great thing for the people of Yangcheng. With more tourists, the lives of the people will definitely be greatly improved." Wu The mayor said, "By the way, Teacher Wang Xuan, when do you plan to start construction of the Shaolin Temple Scenic Area?"
"Let's wait until I finish shooting "Shaolin Temple" first. Because of the filming of "Shaolin Temple", I need to preserve the style of Songshan Shaolin Temple as much as possible, shoot the original Songshan Shaolin Temple and present it to the audience, so as to achieve the best publicity effect. , starting construction now will inevitably affect the shooting and framing." Wang Xuan said.
"clear."
After negotiating the cooperation, Wang Xuan found a star hotel to stay in Yangcheng City.
Two days later, Weng Yong received a call from the director of Shaolin Temple. The other party stated that all Shaolin Temple personnel have returned to their positions.
Wang Xuan and his party set off to board Shaolin again.
In the martial arts square of Shaolin Temple, the abbot asked the monks of the Shaolin Temple to separate themselves and line up in several rows, like an army, waiting for Wang Xuan's review.
At Wang Xuan's signal, the host first asked the Shaolin Temple monks to perform several group martial arts performances, including bare-handed fists, swords, guns and sticks, the light and shadow of swords, and the power of tigers and tigers. Not to mention, it was quite exciting.
Wang Xuan quickly picked two targets. One was Wu Jing, but he was much taller than Wu Zun, about 1.8 meters tall, but he was definitely better than Wu Jing.
The abbot told Wang Xuan that this man's original name was Lin Quan. He had been an orphan since he was a child. He was adopted by the Shaolin Temple. His Buddhist name was Hongwen. He had practiced martial arts with the leader of the Luohan Hall of the Shaolin Temple since he was a child. His martial arts was ranked among the top ten among the younger generation of disciples. .
A template that looks like Brother Jie, that look, that image, is a complete replica of Brother Jie. However, his temperament is much worse than that of Brother Jie, but that is normal. After all, Brother Jie became famous at a young age and won the national martial arts championship for several consecutive years. The man in front of me should have about the same kung fu as Brother Jie, but he has been living in Shaolin since he was a child and has never seen much of the world. Of course, his spirit cannot be compared with Brother Jie.
The abbot told Wang Xuan that this person's name was Li Ze, who had also been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Later, because of his outstanding performance, he was dismissed as a disciple by the head of the Prajna Hall. This is awesome. If teaching martial arts to Shaolin disciples is the main responsibility of Luohan Hall, then Prajna Hall is the place to study the martial arts of all schools in the world. The masters in the Prajna Hall are masters of the martial arts of several sects every time.
Because of this, after Li Ze successfully practiced martial arts in Prajna Hall, he was proficient in all kinds of martial arts. Ranked first among the younger generation of Shaolin disciples, he is also the senior brother of this generation of disciples.
The last time those entertainment companies came over, the abbot hid Li Ze. This time, Wang Xuan actually filmed a movie named after the Shaolin Temple. This is a great thing for the Shaolin Temple. To thank Wang Xuan, the abbot gave Li Ze Ze took it out.
When Wang Xuan heard this, he felt like he had found a treasure.
In fact, there are many other disciples who have good skills, but their image is average and they have no value in cultivating them. So in the end Wang Xuan only chose Li Ze and Lin Quan.
"Abbott, it's just Li Ze and Lin Quan, but I hope the abbot will let them return to secular life and join Tianhai Entertainment." Wang Xuan said.
"Ah, Teacher Wang Xuan, to tell you the truth, Li Ze and Lin Quan are both our key training targets in Shaolin. If nothing else happens, Li Ze will take over my class and serve as the abbot of Shaolin in the future. And Lin Quan They may be the future head of the Luohan Hall. You want them to return to secular life, which is a bit difficult." the abbot said.
"Abbott, we will not return to secular life." Li Ze and Lin Quan said in unison.
Upon hearing this, the abbot gave the two men a reassuring look.
Wang Xuan smiled: "Abbott, I think your pattern can be enlarged a bit. Think about it, after I finish filming "Shaolin Temple", Shaolin Temple will definitely be very popular. There will be countless tourists coming to contribute incense, and countless young people will want to become Shaolin Temple Disciple, what kind of Huachi do you want, and what kind of bicycle do you want?"
"But what I want is Li Ze and Lin Quan, not bicycles." The abbot said.
"Same, this is a metaphor. Hua Chi represents the disciples, and the bicycle represents Li Ze and Lin Quan. I mean, after the Shaolin Temple becomes popular, what kind of disciples do you want, and what kind of disciples do you want, Li Ze and Lin Quan. "Wang Xuan said.
"But Li Ze and Lin Quan are not ordinary disciples..."
"Two million." Wang Xuan interrupted the abbot directly.
"It's not about money..."
"5 million. As long as the abbot lets Li Ze and Lin Quan return to secular life, Tianhai can donate 5 million incense money to Shaolin Temple."
"Deal. I declare that from today on, Li Ze and Lin Quan are no longer my disciples of Shaolin Temple, and are completely at the disposal of donor Wang Xuan." The abbot said decisively.
Wang Xuan was happy when he heard the words. It's not a matter of money, it's just that the money is not in place. As long as the money is available, nothing is a problem.
"Abbott, I don't want to leave Shaolin, please don't expel me from Shaolin." Lin Quan shouted, almost crying. Mainly fear. He grew up in the Shaolin Temple since he was a child and has never been exposed to the outside world.
Li Ze was also a little scared. Compared to Lin Quan, he had gone down the mountain several times, but his knowledge was only a little richer than Lin Quan.
In short, both of them have a bit of social phobia.
However, Li Ze's performance was much better than that of Lin Quan. At least he didn't cry or show his fear on his face. Because he understands the power of 5 million.
When he went down the mountain, he always went to beg alms with his master. He knew very well how much the amount of 5 million was. If he only relied on them to beg alms, how long would it take to get the money.
The other party actually offered 5 million, so it’s not surprising that the abbot sold the two of them like piglets. So Li Ze didn't cry, make trouble, or hang himself.
Just a little sad.
"Don't be afraid, Lin Quan. Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell. What's more, Tianhai Entertainment is not hell. Lin Quan, Li Ze, in fact, when I was a child, I knew the fate of you two just by looking at your faces. We will meet you later. A nobleman brings you into the world. And Donor Wang Xuan is obviously your nobleman, and by following Donor Wangxuan I will definitely not treat you badly," the abbot said.
"Really?" Lin Quan asked somewhat innocently.
"Monks don't lie," the abbot said.
Monks don't tell lies, just because they don't get enough money. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the abbot is really deceiving, but Lin Quan, a little white rabbit, actually believed it after hearing what he said.
As for Li Ze, he said nothing more.
In fact, Li Ze had an experience when he was a child. He was an abandoned child, but he was not abandoned at birth, but was suddenly abandoned by his parents after he was 6 years old. In order to survive, 6-year-old Li Ze had an experience of begging. Later, he met a master who came down from the Shaolin Temple to beg for alms, and was taken to Shaolin.
This begging experience also became a shadow of Li Ze's childhood, allowing him to see the warmth and warmth of human beings for a long time. So Li Ze knew that since the other party had offered 5 million, and since the abbot agreed to the other party, it would be useless for him to say anything.
After all, Li Ze does have some unresolved matters in this world. He wanted to find his parents and ask them why they abandoned him so cruelly.
"Don't worry, I will follow your brother Xuan and take you to eat and drink. Brother Xuan will help you find a wife someday." Wang Xuan answered with a smile.
"What is a daughter-in-law?" Lin Quan asked innocently, making many people laugh.
After securing Li Ze and Lin Quan, Wang Xuan made several requests to the abbot. In fact, it was very simple. He hoped that when he was filming "Shaolin Temple", he hoped that many monks from the Shaolin Temple could guest star in the group.
For example, Wang Xuan hopes that the role of Master Tan Zong can be played by the master of the Prajna Hall of Shaolin Temple. Wang Xuan hopes that the role of the vulture will be played by the master of the Luohan Hall of Shaolin Temple, who is naturally a villain.
As for the abbot of Shaolin Temple, it would be fine to just star in his true character as the abbot in "Shaolin Temple". The former has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his image is just right.
The abbot naturally had no objection to this. Mainly, Wang Xuan said that they were paid for their guest roles in it. Then, the abbot made a merciless request. If possible, he hoped that Wang Xuan could help him teach Jiang Long a lesson to those three white-eyed wolves.
Wang Xuan also agreed.
Since then, the main actors of the movie "Shaolin Temple" have almost been assembled, except for the actor Wang Renze. This role is much easier to handle. Just choose a master who is good at swordsmanship and two-handed swords from the martial arts teams of each province. .
After the negotiation was completed, Wang Xuan asked Weng Yong to notify Tianhai's financial department to transfer 5 million to the Shaolin Temple's account, and then took Lin Quan and Li Ze down the mountain, agreeing to wait until the casting of "Shaolin Temple" was completed before coming over for filming.
Of course, before casting, it must be filed first. So the first thing Wang Xuan did when he returned to Tianhai was to prepare the story outline and related materials of "Shaolin Temple" and give them to Zhu Xu for filing.
He himself came to Jinling again.
After 20 days, the semi-finals of "The King of Masked Singer" are about to be filmed.
