After coming out of the Ministry of Culture, Wang Xiaohu drove slowly in Yanjing City in the jeep driven by Xiao Sun, and through the car window, Wang Xiaohu saw that all places with a large flow of people were full of posters of "Shaolin Temple". 【】

These posters include Jet Li's "Black Tiger Digging Out the Heart", Xiong Xinxin's "Broken Bricks with Iron Head", Sun Jiankui's "Drunken Stick Asking the Sky", and Yu Hai's "Praying Mantis Catching Cicada", and there are also local close-ups of Ding Lan holding a long whip, almost shooting the eighteen weapons one by one.

The Ministry of Culture naturally can't make such exquisite posters, all of which were sent to China by Concord Company half a month ago, and each poster has been seen by Wang Xiaohu, the background pattern of the poster has Tallinn, there is a panorama of Shaolin Temple, there is Songshan Waterfall, etc., do not seek to move all the scenery of Shaolin Temple to the poster, but it also introduces the main landscape of Shaolin Temple with ingenuity, and it is very effective in promoting Shaolin Temple culture.

The propaganda work this time is basically similar to that of "Mythology"; large, medium, and small movie theaters implement the original methods of the mainland, and the village screening teams still make announcements through loudspeakers in the township neighborhood committees.

"Mr. Wang, where are we going? Back to Yanjing Hotel," the driver Xiao Sun asked while driving.

"Hey, let's go back to the hotel." Wang Xiaohu sighed, to be honest, he was in a heavy mood when he came out of the Ministry of Culture, and the source of this heaviness was the indifference to martial arts in China, no, it should be the indifference to national arts.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, General Xu and Marshal He advocated the revitalization of national art more than once, but such a call was drowned in the great wave of the Cultural Revolution.

The Cultural Revolution not only tossed the little foundation left in the thousand-year-old temple, but also made many folk masters of Chinese art miserable, from the mouth of Zhao Gang and others, it was learned that when it was the most serious, no one dared to say that they had practiced martial arts, and they all sealed their mouths to death, Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other martial arts provinces were the most serious places to suffer from the catastrophe.

That is, since then, the real masters of national arts have either been incognito, or they have not mentioned martial arts, or they will not even pass it on to the next generation, so as not to implicate their children and grandchildren.

In its place, the wushu routines rampant with standard routines, and the national wushu competition was born in this environment, but after that, it was difficult for Chinese wushu to take the stage.

Wasn't the promotion of "Shaolin Temple" in this book ridiculed by Yu himself?

I arrogantly said: Chinese mainland is now "there is only a Shaolin temple, but no Shaolin fist"!

If it weren't for the older generation like Yu Hai and Yu Chenghui who hadn't lost the real national arts, if it weren't for the fact that they instilled a little bit of the concept of actual national arts during the filming of "Shaolin Temple", I am afraid that I would really laugh off my big teeth this time!

On the diplomatic side, a slogan was shouted, which was called "friendship first, competition second".

Bullshit's "Friendship first, competition second!" ”

Wang Xiaohu scoffed at this, this thing is just the slogan of the Chinese people closing the door and fooling their own people, you don't see how many years the Chinese national football team has hit the World Cup, and the athletes of the national football team have maintained a good psychology of "focusing on participation" and "second in the game" before each battle.

Thinking about this, Wang Xiaohu can't jump to scold his mother! An oriental country with 5,000 years of cultural heritage and prosperous martial arts even mentioned "second in the competition!" "What a sarcasm it is to turn a good national art into a "dance technique"!

Even if you can win hundreds or thousands of gold medals on the world arena, but you are vulnerable in the MMA, UFC or K1 ring, you have to be physically fit or not, and those so-called skills are all showy, and that kind of sadness makes Wang Xiaohu inexplicably sad.

If it weren't for the fact that Jet Li was injured in Yueben, Wang Xiaohu might not have had so much emotion, let alone be excited to discuss the plan of investing in Shaolin Temple with the Ministry of Culture, of course, it can't be regarded as excitement, after all, he wants to find a successor for Kung Fu Film and Television in the future through such means.

Wang Xiaohu doesn't believe that the whole country can't pick out talents like Wu Jing and Zhao Wenzhuo!

These little abacus, Minister Huang just racked his brains to explode his brain, and he would never have expected Wang Xiaohu to take such a long-term view, let alone know that Wang Xiaohu was going to set off a wave of reviving national martial arts across the country, at least in his eyes, it was the revival of martial arts.

When night fell, Zhao Gang came to pick up Wang Xiaohu.

"Lao Wang, hurry up and fill your stomach, or you will be hungry tonight."

Wang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that Zhao Gang was for his good, because he would go to the Great Hall of the People to participate in the premiere of "Shaolin Temple".

In this year, not all movies can be scheduled to premiere in the Great Hall of the People, just like the last "Myth" promoted the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, and it has a great influence in the international community and a cycle of good surnames, this time "Shaolin Temple" is not to mention, the title alone is enough to explain the content of the film, and it has been reviewed by the Ministry of Culture, Zhongnanhai and other layers, and it was decided to premiere in the Great Hall of the People after determining that there is no negative impact on the country.

In addition to most of the national leaders, there are also ministries of culture, foreign affairs, education, sports and other departments, all of which add up to more than 500 people, which fully shows the importance that the country attaches to "Shaolin Temple".

For such a grand scene, from the beginning of the screening to the end of the screening, and then what topics to be discussed, at least it has to be tossed until midnight, so if you don't fill your stomach, it will really be as miserable as Zhao Gang described.

asked for two home-cooked dishes at the Yanjing Hotel, plus five big white heads, Wang Xiaohu was full of burps, and then got into the jeep to the screening point of the Great Hall of the People.

"Lao Zhao, will Chief Deng come tonight?" Wang Xiaohu was a little nervous after getting in the car.

"The chief will not attend the premiere tonight because of other important matters, but I have already seen it last night." Zhao Gang muttered circles in his eyes and said: "The chief said that it is good, it is more real than the previous film, and the shooting is good." ”

"Really?" Wang Xiaohu looked at Zhao Gang and asked.

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, ask Minister Huang."

Wang Xiaohu sighed and stopped talking.

Tonight's traffic in Yanjing City is very busy, unlike the urban and rural people's walking army, in Yanjing you see a large number of bicycles, the sky has just darkened, most of the Yanjing citizens hastily eat, and then ride bicycles to the cinema.

When passing by a movie theater, Wang Xiaohu felt that in addition to the human figures, there were dense bicycles in front of the theater.

Zhao Gang was surprised when he saw this: "The last time I came here to watch "Myth", there were not so many bicycles, just the side door of the exhibition hall opposite the entrance of the theater. I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated this time, there are bicycles on both sides of the road, at least there must be more than 1,000, right? ”

According to 1 meter to store two bicycles, there are more than 300 meters on both sides of the entrance of the theater alone, and there are 3 rows, not to mention that the side door of the exhibition hall opposite the theater is more than 200 meters long, Zhao just said that 1000 bicycles, according to Wang Xiaohu's estimate, there will be at least more than 3000, and not counting the people who come to the theater on foot.

"Shaolin Temple" is 120 minutes long, from the audience to the exit of half an hour, that is, a movie takes two and a half hours, at present, domestic theaters basically take 24 hours to play "Shaolin Temple" in turns, if everyone acts quickly, it can barely be broadcast 10 times, and each theater is two sets of copies, two sets of 35mm projectors, and the projection staff works in two shifts.

Take the theater in front of you as an example, the scale is not very large, barely able to fit 500 audiences, but don't forget that now ordinary people can enter without seats with movie tickets, which means that a 500-person theater can accommodate at least 700-800 people.

A movie costs a dime, and it can sell for more than 70 yuan a game, 700 yuan a day, and the first round of screenings for 30 days is 20,000 yuan.

There are more than 30 theaters of this scale in Yanjing, not counting those small theaters that are not included in the roster, so that the box office in Yanjing city will come out in a month, and there will be more than 500,000 yuan after deducting various necessary expenses. (Conservative algorithms, which may not be considered very comprehensively.) ）

Yanjing, Shanghai, and Tianjin can have a box office of 2 million in a month, not counting the scale of other provincial capitals. Combined with the box office of "Myth" of 12 million in half a year, the box office of "Shaolin Temple" is definitely stable at more than 20 million.

This box office result is definitely much happier than the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia!

You must know that in the era when they were just moving towards reform and opening up, the Chinese came out of a long period of isolation and suddenly found that the gap between China and the world was so large, and a huge sense of loss and enterprising spirit were intertwined. The Chinese martial arts of Zhuoran Reading Power undoubtedly made the Chinese at that time like a treasure.

This mentality is completely in line with the mood of the Chinese in the eighties of the last century when they looked at the Olympic gold medal, won the gold medal, became a national hero overnight, lost the gold medal, and became the public enemy of the whole people in the blink of an eye.

"Shaolin Temple", a movie starring in a lineup of martial arts champions, will definitely make the Chinese people feel an unprecedented sense of pride!

"Lao Zhao, have you invited Shi Yongqian, the temporary host of Shaolin Temple, and Shi Yanhe, the master of Shaolin's foreign cultural dissemination?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly asked.

"Please! This time, the Ministry of Culture invited 2 old monks and 8 young monks, one of whom just walked from Anhui to Shaolin this year to become a monk, and became a disciple of Shi Yongqian. Zhao Gang said with a smile.

"Shi Yongxin" Wang Xiaohu was speechless for a moment, he was like thunder for this name, this is not the famous CEO of Shaolin Temple in his previous life.

Although Shi Yongxin in his previous life had such and such unfavorable rumors, if he fully excavated the cultural resources of Shaolin Temple, this great monk is definitely one of the few monks who have attained the Tao in modern times.

Since Wang Xiaohu has invested in Shaolin Temple, it is inevitable to cultivate this great monk, after all, he will be regarded as the major shareholder of Shaolin in the future, so he has to cultivate a few right-hand men, right?

The idea of "raising a temple with a temple" was put forward by him, and Wang Xiaohu would miss out on a thousand miles if he didn't make good use of it.

When Wang Xiaohu and the three of them came to the Great Hall of the People, there were not many people here, as the choreographer and director of "Shaolin Temple", he and Yu Hai, Yu Chenghui and other main actors sat in the fifth row, the first five rows were basically where the leaders did, and from the sixth row onwards, there were officials from other departments in Yanjing.

"Jay got on the plane, right?" As soon as Wang Xiaohu sat down, he asked Yu Hai beside him, both of them are fellow villagers in Shandong, and they are very familiar with talking, so the work of arranging Jet Li to go to Hong Kong for treatment falls on Yu Hai's shoulders.

Yu Hai nodded and said, "The plane at four o'clock this afternoon." ”

As long as Jet Li gets on the plane, Wang Xiaohu will be much more relieved, after all, Jet Li's current injury can't be delayed for a long time, and he will go to Hong Kong for surgery a day earlier, and the chances of recovery will be higher in the future.

At about 7 o'clock, many people walked into the Great Hall of the People one after another, Wang Xiaohu didn't know one with a black eye, but many people saw him take the initiative to wave hello, which made Wang Xiaohu wonder.

Just when Wang Xiaohu was wondering, he felt that someone behind him tapped his shoulder.

When he turned around, he saw a few eager faces in the back seat.

"May I ask you are Mr. Wang, right?" A middle-aged man with glasses asked politely.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and smiled and said, "It's me." ”

"It's great, can you sign me, my daughter is your fan, she likes to watch "Myth" starring you, our family has watched it five times!" The middle-aged man said and took out a notebook and stretched it out in front of Wang Xiaohu, holding a pen in his other hand.

"No problem!" Wang Xiaohu happily signed his name on it, and when he sent it over, he vaguely saw that it was a certain department in Yanjing City.

The organ cadre happily said thank you, left with a satisfied smile, and a few more people came up to ask for autographs, and Wang Xiaohu also agreed one by one, but when he saw the words of so-and-so organ on those record books, he felt confused, and the cadres also chased stars these years?

Wang Xiaohu noticed that the people who came to ask for autographs were basically the people behind him, and after the first five rows of people were full, no one dared to ask for autographs, Wang Xiaohu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At 7:30, the film was officially played, and the huge screen appeared on the classic Yin and Yang Taiji fish animation, after the end of the picture, it did not directly enter the feature film of "Shaolin Temple", but told the story of the head of the Shaolin Boxing Alliance, Zong Daochen, and his party to the Shaolin Temple.

At that time, the domestic photography equipment was a little backward, and Wang Xiaohu got the "Industrial Light and Magic" to reprocess it, so the picture seen on the screen was still relatively clear.

After Zong Daochen came to Shaolin, it did not end immediately, and the picture of the second generation head Zong Yougui and his party going to Shaolin Temple was added, of course, Zhao Gang dismantled other people's cameras in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs This picture is not in the documentary, but after the two sides resolved the misunderstanding, Wang Xiaohu asked Zhang Yimou to be responsible for shooting.

Wang Xiaohu's initiative has won full appreciation from the mainland, and he believes that Concord's research on the inheritance of Shaolin culture is in place, so this is just the beginning of a documentary, and there was a round of applause in the Great Hall of the People.

In particular, the applause from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was the loudest, because in just a few minutes, the colleagues of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the correct leadership of Liao Gong, finally did something that was known to the world, at least the friendly relations between China and China were made possible by the Shaolin Temple, a very good media.

Everyone was applauding, and Wang Xiaohu also pretended to slap his palms a few times, which was insignificant to him, and could only be regarded as some habitual tricks to please the mainland.

The film is finally officially played: on the bank of the Yellow River, the anti-thief king Renze, Vulture and others brutally killed Xiaohu's father, and Xiaohu jumped into the Yellow River under the cover of his companions to escape.

In addition to the wonderful fights that made the leaders watch with relish, Wang Xiaohu also found that many viewers saw the villains played by Yu Chenghui, Ji Chunhua and others gritting their teeth, and some people were thinking, this way of watching the movie made Wang Xiaohu feel a little depressed.

Why? Because these are the leaders of China, they watch movies not only to see the surface, but to see the deep level, so the atmosphere is somewhat dull, or you can't see too much phenomenon from their faces, even if the next stage is Jueyuan being rescued by the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple, a series of funny scenes such as destroying the temple rules, these "audiences" will also keep their facial expressions meticulous and serious.

"Grandma's, it's boring." Wang Xiaohu left the Great Hall by urinating, hid outside to breathe a sigh of relief, and happened to see Zhao Gang also smoking at the door.

"Yo, Lao Zhao, why did you come out too?" Wang Xiaohu asked with a smile.

"It's so stuffy inside! Boring. Zhao Gang raised his eyelids, took out a Chinese cigarette from his jacket pocket, handed it over, and said, "Come, smoke one to relieve boredom." ”

Wang Xiaohu shook his head: "Don't smoke." If I had known that it would be so boring, I might as well buy a scalper ticket and go to other movie theaters. ”

"Hey, I can't help it!" Zhao Gang sighed and said: "Tonight's occasion is more grand, and in front of so many leaders, who doesn't package themselves tightly, if the leaders are not there, they are no different from ordinary audiences, laugh when they should laugh, whistle and whistle." ”

Wang Xiaohu sat on the steps and did not continue this boring topic, but continued to think about today's events.

Unlike the dull atmosphere of the Great Hall of the People, the Yenching Film Academy is bustling with activity.

When the film first used a long shot to show the whole Shaolin Temple, more than 300 students in the screening room held their breath, although many people heard about this shooting technique from Zhang Yimou, according to the lecturers in class, the international film industry rarely uses long shots as a narrative picture, and it is still in the Hong Kong film industry, where commercial films are the mainstream.

But the scene at the beginning of "Shaolin Temple", which is close to five minutes, really shocked the pride of these days.

From the beginning of the little tiger lying at the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple, the picture is recorded in the form of a long lens, respectively, the victims who are waiting for soup porridge outside the mountain gate, the grass and trees inside the Shaolin Temple, the first floor and the pavilion, all aspects are vividly interpreted.

In such a long five minutes, no one felt that the picture was boring and boring, but gave people a real feeling, and they thought that the Shaolin Temple should be like this: quiet and peaceful, exuding the temperament of thousand-year-old temples and Buddhist compassion everywhere.

When the camera turned to the Thousand Buddha Hall and turned the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, many students who saw it were surprised to find that there was a slight surprise on the plaque of the "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion", and at this time, the camera seemed to consider that everyone would cause controversy, and stayed on this plaque for two seconds.

"There are a few missing Tibetan characters in the Scripture Pavilion!"

"Typo! How do these people who are responsible for maintenance do it! ”

"This is a thousand-year-old temple, the workers are too careless!"

"You know what! Zhang Yimou explained it to us. Some students who knew the inside story immediately said: "At the beginning, the three words of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion were complete, but Director Wang said that the Shaolin Temple has gone through many ups and downs, and the most serious loss is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, because the scriptures in the Zangjing Pavilion are complete, so it is required to deliberately reduce the Tibetan characters by a few strokes, which represents regret and warns future generations of the protection of ancient Chinese culture."

After the filming of the film, the Shaolin Temple was replaced with a complete plaque. However, I still feel that Director Wang's intentions are profound. ”

The students suddenly realized, but there were also people who didn't believe in Zhang Yi for proof, Zhang Yimou nodded vigorously and said, "That's what Mr. Wang said at the time. ”

The students still wanted to say something, but they heard others suddenly applaud and cheer, and hurriedly returned to their seats to look at the big screen, it turned out that dozens of Shaolin monks were practicing Shaolin Kung Fu.

"Wow, Shaolin kung fu is so amazing, you see that guy smashing his head with a brick is as easy as a common meal."

"Look at that monk is even more powerful, walking upside down with one finger!"

"Iron sand palms, tsk, the sand is smoking, it won't burn your hands!"

The students applauded and watched excitedly, while Chen Kaige and Tian Zhuangzhuang were watching and thinking, the two of them were not as lucky as Zhang Yimou, they could be named by Mr. Wang to help with the camera, and they could only learn directing skills through communication with Zhang Yimou and movie screens.

The lecturers of the film school are staring at the big screen with serious faces without blinking, because this is also a vivid lesson for them, they can combine the aspects of "Shaolin Temple" to prepare for the lesson with textbook knowledge, since "Myth" adopted such a lecture method is very popular with students, the film school pays more and more attention to the combination of theory and practice

The movie "Shaolin Temple" was released in Dengfeng, and it was difficult for Dengfeng to become a sensation, and Dengfeng people came from all over the world to help the old and the young, competing to watch this huge film that came out of nowhere.

The nearby countrymen drove tractors, full of villagers, and did not rub the tractor to the Shaolin Temple on their bicycles, because in front of the Shaolin Temple Mountain Gate, there were three open-air movie venues, everyone was full of interest and enthusiasm to come to the Shaolin Temple Mountain Gate to see what this movie that may change the face of Dengfeng in the future is like.

The exclamations and laughter have always resounded in Shaolin Mountain, and the old and weak monks and warrior monks in the Shaolin Temple also ran out to watch, after all, these three free screening venues were specially prepared by Mr. Wang to promote the culture of Shaolin Temple, and they were screened for free for a whole month!

Wukong and Sekong warrior monks boiled porridge for Jueyuan to eat in order to catch frogs, and several bald heads collided together, with crisp voices and quite interesting. The audience laughed and leaned back together, and the real Shaolin monks were busy reciting the scriptures silently, shouting "sins and sins".

Then the monk jumped out and scolded and asked. Those monks quibbled and said, "We practice toad skills." Then I saw the frog jump into the monk's robe, and the old monk's embarrassed expression made people laugh again.

The monks who leaned in front of the mountain gate to watch the movie sighed and smiled bitterly.

At the turn of the camera, Jueyuan slaughtered the shepherd dog who was "greedy for food, sleep, no work, and no teaching", and finally decided to burn it in order not to waste food.

When he was doing his good deeds in the bamboo forest, he was discovered by Tanzong, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "You eat, our hometown uses dog meat and old ginger, wolfberries, and black beans to cook and eat a big tonic, which is good for your body."

But he moved his index finger again, as if he continued to say something, the dog meat rolled three times, and the gods couldn't stand steadily.

Then a large number of dog meat monks jumped out, munched on dog meat, and chattered endlessly, theoretically supporting: In popular terms, the master practiced too hard, and ate white porridge every day; The advanced theory is: the dog meat passes through the intestines, the Buddha stays in his heart, and the Buddha is in his heart.

The real monk who insisted on being at the gate of the mountain was shocked when he saw this, and he ran into the Shaolin Temple with a rush of "sin and sin" in his mouth, as if the things shown on the movie were how sinful they were, and the Dengfeng people who noticed the situation here opened their mouths and laughed, and the laughter was higher than the wave, and the monks were full of curiosity, so they secretly looked at the temple door to see a small gap, and several monks fell together and watched "Shaolin Temple" from the crack in the door.

Such scenes happened in various parts of China at the same time, and it is impossible not to mention the situation of the martial arts teams in various provinces watching the movie.

They were greatly inspired after watching "Shaolin Temple", such inspiration is mainly in the practice of routines, they naturally did not receive Wang Xiaohu's special on-site training, but they can learn through the scenes of sparring in the film.

They found that there were some ordinary sparring routines in it, and after the Hong Kong martial arts instructor clicked, the movements looked more realistic, more realistic, and even had a kind of thrilling and exciting posture that killed people, and each move and style had a realistic basis, as long as they practiced diligently, they could also achieve that effect, so a craze for adapting the national martial arts performance style quietly set off in the major martial arts teams

After the screening of "Shaolin Temple", it became a national sensation, and many boys in the mainland, towns and villages in that era were changed by this movie. The cult of wild surnames and power, previously cultivated by Garrison's Expendables, has finally found a clear direction. Children are often distracted, and every day they think about how to learn martial arts together.

At that time, it was not only popular to shave the monk's head, but everyone was full of chanting "wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha left it in his heart".

Many children even practiced various Shaolin kung fu in private.

The little ones can't find the iron sand, so they have to replace it with rice, millet, mung beans or something, and I don't know how many children have been spanked by their parents on the grounds of "spoiling food".

Hitting the wall bark and hitting the trunk of the tree, practicing the iron sand palm, generally practicing this routine is to see the "vulture" that claw to scratch the wood, it feels very powerful!

Those who fly up and jump forward, throw their legs forward, practice whirlwind legs, and in their impression, this move is very handsome!

Standing piles and walking on slopes, practicing plum blossom piles. I heard that if you practice this trick, you can be regarded as a Shaolin monk.

Those who voluntarily get punched and kicked by others and never shout pain practice the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, which can be regarded as an official "Shaolin disciple" who has obtained the true transmission!

smashed his head with a brick, went home and gritted his teeth and said that he accidentally fell, that is the practice of iron head skills! Basically, you can be regarded as a "Shaolin master" by your friends!

In short, every child has a little bit of a unique self-created stunt, which is still the work of an introverted child. Those children who really dare to think and dare to do have already discussed running away from home in groups and going to Shaolin Temple to learn art.

Fortunately, at the end of "Shaolin Temple", Wang Xiaohu clearly reminded parents: you must pay close attention to your children's every move, be careful that they secretly leave home and go to Shaolin Temple, if you find that your child in your home can not be found, don't panic, go directly to Shaolin Temple to claim it, Shaolin Temple has set up a place to take in children, but it is better to be careful.

Even so, since late May 1981, Shaolin Temple has had teenagers come to the door every day, and they have said that they want to learn Shaolin Kung Fu, and at first the Shaolin Temple must have rejected it completely.

After all, the interior of Shaolin Temple at that time was not very prosperous, and an important reason for this was that the classics and inheritance of Shaolin Kung Fu had been in a weak situation after years of turmoil. At present, he can't grow himself, how can he mislead people's children!

It is said that every day someone came to the door to ask to learn kung fu for half a year, until Wang Xiaohu fully invested in Shaolin Temple, and the three valuable assets of Zen, martial arts and medicine Shaolin Temple were sound. With abundant funds below zero, the Shaolin Temple began to organize manpower and material resources to excavate and sort out Shaolin martial arts classics. At the beginning of 1982, the Shaolin Temple Boxing Research Association was established, and in the second half of the year, the Shaolin Temple martial arts team was established, which was later the Shaolin Temple Warrior Monk Group.

Many monks who left the monastery during the "Cultural Revolution" returned to Buddhism, and Shaolin Kung Fu embarked on the road of development again.

After the construction of the Shaolin Kung Fu Martial Arts Team and the strengthening of the true strength of the Shaolin Temple, the monk Xingzheng strictly enforced several temple rules, especially emphasizing that the real consent of his parents was required when accepting disciples for ordination.

For a time, it also gave birth to many martial arts magazines, such as "Wulin", "Martial Arts and Fitness", "Wudang", etc., all of which became the favorite of boys' collection and reading, and their sales were amazing. Around the Shaolin Temple, countless martial arts schools were born overnight.

Of course, that's all for later.

After the release of "Shaolin Temple" in the Great Hall of the People, as Zhao Gang said, everyone did not go home immediately, but held a non-confirmed seminar.

As the director of the film, Wang Xiaohu took the stage and said a few words, the speech was prepared by the Ministry of Culture earlier, which is nothing more than nonsense to thank all domestic departments for their full cooperation and strong support, to put it bluntly, it seems that a lot of effort has been put into China, and the producer is just shooting a movie.

Wang Xiaohu was quite speechless in this regard, finished the speech with a smile, hurriedly rushed to the back row, found Zhao Gang and asked for a cigarette to smoke.

"Don't you smoke?" Zhao Gang said with a wicked smile.

Wang Xiaohu took a sharp breath, choked tears flowed out, sighed and said, "Grandma, suffocate me!" ”

Zhao Gang laughed.

"In the future, Lao Tzu will be killed, and Lao Tzu will not come to participate in the premiere of the mainland, he can suffocate the living to death!" Wang Xiaohu snuffed out the cigarette he had taken a puff of, he really couldn't stand the taste of this smoke and fire, and said, "Lao Zhao, your Baji Fist is an ancestral heirloom, right?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Gang nodded in response.

"Go back and ask your master, if you can contribute the boxing book of Bajiquan, or invite your master to teach the apprentice." Wang Xiaohu groaned.

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Zhao Gang smoked a cigarette and said with his eyes open: "The older generation pays special attention to the difference between sects, and would rather bring real kung fu into the coffin than spread it." ”

"Hey! If you are so selfish, then the real national art will be considered to be in decline! Wang Xiaohu threw the cigarette on the ground depressedly, and Zhao Gang hurriedly picked it up when he saw this and said, "I just took a puff and threw it away." ”

"Is there a difference between throwing it away and bringing it into a coffin? It's not a pity! Wang Xiaohu glared and said angrily: "It's not that I'm prejudiced against the mainland's national martial arts masters, they should really learn from Wing Chun in this regard, look at Ip Man, his Wing Chun martial arts hall has been opened to Europe and the United States!" ”

"He has kung fu superstars like Bruce Lee and you to do publicity, we are all small sects, we can't compare!"

"Am I being selfish? Aren't I promoting Shaolin Kung Fu now, do I have to wait for me to shoot another Xingyi boxing, shoot a movie of Tai Chi, Bajiquan, Baguazhang or something, and the head of the gang will agree? ”

Zhao Gang's face was somewhat embarrassed, but this matter was not something he could say, after thinking about it, he patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder and said: "Old Wang, don't get angry about this matter first, if you want me to say it, you have to ask the above to speak, and if the political axe comes forward, things should be much easier." ”

"Hey!" Wang Xiaohu let out a long sigh, leaned back in his chair and said, "Lao Zhao, you haven't been abroad, have you?" ”

"I've been to North Korea and fought wars."

"I mean developed countries such as Europe and the United States, our precious Chinese culture is like those cultural relics, rooted abroad, and my uncle Huang Chunliang called me a few years ago and said: Chinese kung fu is completely capable of fighting, but those who are fighting with Chinese kung fu rarely see Chinese!" What a irony! ”

On the night of May 1st, Wang Xiaohu had insomnia, thinking about this problem over and over again, at dawn, he sat on the bed bitterly, looked at the gray Yanjing City outside the window, and decided to leave this matter behind, because he knew that this matter could not be implemented by a few words after a moment of hard scratching, and it was necessary to rely on practical actions, at least use his own actions to drive more people to join it, and movies are the most effective way to promote.

After breakfast, the waiter at Yanjing Hotel knocked on the door of Wang Xiaohu's room and said respectfully: "Mr. Wang, the car from the Ministry of Culture is waiting for you at the door." ”

"Thank you." Wang Xiaohu nodded to indicate that he knew, cleaned up the messy thoughts in his mind, picked up his briefcase and strode towards the door of the hotel.

China's box office statistics are still relatively backward, far less fast than Hong Kong or Hollywood, after entering the 80s, Hong Kong and Hollywood have made great improvements in box office statistics, often every 100 movie tickets sold, the ticket seller will submit the data to the theater, by the theater boss to count, the next morning Wang Xiaohu can sit in the office to see the box office data on the night of the premiere.

Minister Huang wanted to see Wang Xiaohu early in the morning, it can be seen from his bloodshot eyes that he didn't sleep well last night, when Wang Xiaohu went in, he was yawning and drinking a sip of strong tea, and then forced a smile and said: "Mr. Wang, after watching "Shaolin Temple" last night, we had a meeting overnight, and the above basically agreed with your plan to invest in Shaolin Temple, and let me thank Mr. Wang for such a generous patriotic act. ”

Wang Xiaohu grinned bitterly, is he generous? Later, I will know that the wool is from the sheep, but the wool I ask for is disdainful of the country, and it is this kind of disdain that makes more martial arts professionals pass, and Wang Xiaohu will never tell Minister Huang about this phenomenon.

"Thank you, Minister Huang, for working hard overnight on this matter." Wang Xiaohu said politely: "In addition, there is one more thing that wants to trouble Minister Huang. ”

"You say, as long as it is reasonable, I will report it truthfully." Minister Huang took another sip of strong tea, and at the same time took out his notebook and made a posture of recording at any time.

"That's right. We, Concord, intend to launch two TV series and a movie. Wang Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "The two TV series are adapted from the Tianjin hero Huo Yuanjia, and the other is based on Mr. Jin Yong's record martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". ”

"As for the other movie, it is more Chinese national, it is based on the folklore of Mulan who served in the army for my father, I have brought these three scripts today, please review them by Minister Huang." Wang Xiaohu opened the briefcase as he spoke, and the three beautifully packaged scripts were immediately presented in front of Minister Huang.

Minister Huang was stunned, looking at the three scripts in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a while, he was shocked!

Shocked that "Shaolin Temple" had just been released in China, Wang Xiaohu proposed three script reviews at once, such a creative speed is unheard of even in the world, and it has only been less than a year since the last filming of "Shaolin Temple" and "Shanghai Tang", and the output of Concord is too high, right?

At the same time, Minister Huang also fell into deep sorrow, lamenting why domestic filmmakers are so uncompetitive, not to mention anything else, Huo Yuanjia and Hua Mulan are both well-known big names in China, what are domestic filmmakers busy with all day long, does it really respond to what colleagues said: Can only Hong Kong people shoot good themes? ――

This chapter has been written for a whole day, and there are too many things to express, hey, I believe you can also see it, and another meaning of "The New King of Kung Fu" is about to come out.
