Chapter Twenty-Four: Washing the red dust is good for self-cultivation
The operation of "Rain of Swords" in North America is not smooth, although Wang Jie is the majority shareholder of Fox, it does not mean that he can control everything, the United States is a society that wins and loses with capital, so everything must be done according to the rules of the game of the market economy.
"Rain of Swords" was distributed by Fox Films, and initially only contacted less than 20 theaters close to Chinatown, and when the painting opened on September 20, there were only 46 screens, and at first because of publicity problems, only Chinese people entered the theaters to watch, and the daily box office was only a little more than 10,000 US dollars. But after all, the filming technology of "Sword Rain" has spanned this era, and with the fermentation of good reputation, the number of moviegoers has gradually increased, and the audience is no longer limited to the range of Chinese.
Because the summer vacation has long passed, there was no blockbuster competition when "Rain of Swords" was released, and the box office was actually higher day by day, and the theater chain of screenings quickly increased to 150 theaters, and the screen screen also increased nearly tenfold, and the box office reached more than 3.4 million US dollars after three weeks of screening.
Fox's distribution department urgently contacted a number of theaters, increasing the number of theaters showing "Rain of Swords" to more than 900, and the number of screens to more than 1,600. Wang Jie didn't have much hope for the North American box office of "Rain of Swords", but he didn't expect it to give him a lot of surprises. Until the film was released in mid-October, the total box office of "Rain of Swords" reached more than $32.5 million, which could be ranked among the top ten box office in North America in 1977.
Wang Jie knows that the performance of Chinese martial arts movies in North America is like this, and Americans will not understand what chivalry culture is at all, they only treat it as a novel and interesting science fiction movie. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" filmed by Li An in the original time and space is classified as a science fiction film when it is released in North America. Don't expect pure Chinese movies to cause a sensation in North America, reality is not the plot of YY novels after all, the reason why films like "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can make some gains in North America is that most of them rely on the Chinese market in North America, but unfortunately Chinese filmmakers often turn a blind eye to this, blindly cater to the white American class, and shoot a bunch of "big productions" that are not accepted by Chinese people and not recognized by Europeans and Americans, and the result is that the pit dad went to grandma's house. Bollywood's A3 is smarter, and every movie they release in North America is close to Indian-Americans, and the box office is very impressive.
Filming movies is only Wang Jie's hobby and pastime, and his goal in life is always to practice to achieve immortality.
In August, Wang Jie retreated in William's Farm for more than a month, and this time he finally broke through the shackles, and the "Thirteen Taibao Heng Lian" reached the early stage of the bone refining realm, and from this moment on, he finally had a certain ability to protect himself. The reason why Wang Jie was able to break through the bottleneck this time has a lot to do with his serious filming of "Sword Rain", although it is "plagiarism", but because of his hobby, Wang Jie tried his best to be perfect. As the so-called red dust refines the heart, one piece and one relaxation is the way, Wang Jie's cultivation in this section is naturally natural.
Wang Jie has grown to a height of one hundred and fifty centimeters after leaving the customs this time, and he can't see the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old boy at all, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a twelve or thirteen-year-old young man.
Wang Jie's practice of "Thirteen Taibao Heng Lian" also began to slow down, and in the future, it will completely rely on water grinding. Wang Jie is ready to start practicing "Fudo Ming Wang Huanxi Zen", "Fudo Ming Wang Huanxi Zen" is divided into two parts: physical cultivation and divine cultivation, outsiders only know that "Fudo Ming Wang Huanxi Zen" is attributed to the double rest part of physical cultivation, as for the divine cultivation has not heard of it at all, in fact, "Fudo Ming Wang Huanxi Zen" Shen Xiu's branch exercises Many people have heard of, such as "pointing", "empowerment" and so on are all simplified versions of divine cultivation, according to rumors, "Fudo Ming Wang Huanxi Zen" once the spiritual part of the spiritual cultivation can be completely memorized" reincarnation", which is why there is a saying "reincarnated spirit child" in Tibet.
Wang Jie was too young at this time, and his body was not mature, so he could only practice the divine cultivation part of "Fudo Ming Wang Huanxi Zen", but the divine cultivation method was extremely dangerous, and once he made a mistake, his life would be in danger, so Wang Jie must find a simple-minded "furnace ding" for the first time to practice.
According to the observation of the past two years, Wang Jie found that the most "pure" person in his mind was Lan Jieying, the eldest among the ten girls, and he did not blame the original time and space for having such a straight personality, and finally simply "went crazy" after the great change.
Wang Jie's first practice was on the night of September 28, when the full moon was in the sky, and the sprinkled moonlight helped calm the mind.
After dinner the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Jie left Lan Jieying alone, which made the fourteen-year-old girl very nervous, although she knew what the boy couldn't do to her, she was still very worried.
Wang Jie led Lan Jieying to the room on the top floor where he usually practiced alone, he locked the door, opened the curtains, turned off the lights, and only filled the room with moonlight.
Wang Jie took Lan Jieying's handcross and sat on the carpet in the center of the room, and said: "Wait a while, you must calm your mind and concentrate, don't be restless, just like you usually practice the yoga I teach you, wander the world, relax, you must do it, you have to believe that I will not harm you, after getting along for so long, you should know me." ”
Lan Jieying thought about sharing the bed with Ge Weiru, Monica Bellucci and Sophie Marceau with the handsome boy in front of her, and her heart was somewhat sweet, she said firmly: "I believe that the young master will not harm me, and I will do whatever you ask me to do next." ”
Wang Jie asked Lan Jieying to wrap her legs around his waist, her forehead against each other, and sat together, waiting for the girl's breathing to calm down, chanting the mantra in her ear, and asking the girl to follow silently. The mantra was recited more than ten times, and after Lan Jieying memorized it without guidance, Wang Jie mobilized the essence of the whole body and began to run along the meridians of the divine cultivation part of the "Fudo Ming King Huanxi Zen", Wang Jie and Lan Jieying's foreheads seemed to have some channel to connect the two people's divine consciousness together, Wang Jie was shocked, "saw" all the life experiences of the girl from birth to this time, fortunately, Wang Jie had the experience of practicing alone in his previous life, and was not shocked by the vision in his mind, and still followed the practice of the exercises. Lan Jieying only felt as if her whole body and mind were soaking in a hot spring at this moment, soothing and peaceful. After Wang Jie ran for a week, the two of them felt a kind of pleasure at the same time, and they were like immortals.
Wang Jie's pleasure increased by one point every Sunday after running, and at the same time, his divine consciousness also increased by one point.
Wang Jie and Lan Jieying practiced all night, and they didn't finish work until four o'clock in the morning the next day. Wang Jie felt that the thinking of the whole brain was several times more sensitive than before, and the meridians of the entire brain were also broadened a lot. Lan Jieying, because she is a "Ding Furnace", belongs to the passive practice party, and the effect is far less than that of Wang Jie, but the growth of her consciousness makes her more and more sensitive to the things around her, she thinks that she can already do it without forgetting, and at the same time, Lan Jieying also has a different feeling about the boy in front of her, and always feels that the whole world is not as important as the person in front of her, and has an inexplicable attachment to Wang Jie, and Wang Jie will be at ease and happy together.
The terrible thing about the practice of cultivating divine consciousness is that you can control the minds of others after you have achieved cultivation, and "Fudo Ming Wang Huanxi Zen" is even more terrifying, it can completely change the thinking of "Furnace Ding" through weekends, and it is involuntarily and unconsciously let the "Furnace Ding" body and mind rely on each other.
