After the competition, Lu Chen and the others had a vegetarian meal in the Shaolin Temple.
The vegetarian meal in the Shaolin Temple was quite famous. The chef was a national super chef, and his annual salary was millions. However, he was born in Shaolin and believed in Buddhism, so he had been working as a chef in the temple.
Lu Chen and the others were full of praise for the vegetarian meal, and many details of the cooperation were finalized during the meal.
For the Shaolin Temple, the Shaolin Industrial Development Company, which was jointly established by the Dengfeng City Government and Chenfei Media, was like a pie falling from the sky, and they welcomed it with open arms.
Shi Yongda, the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, was not a pedantic person. He was very supportive of this cooperation. Therefore, except for some specific terms, the general intention of the three parties was basically settled, and there were no major obstacles.
After the vegetarian meal, Shi Yongda warmly invited Lu Chen to leave a calligraphy for the Shaolin Temple.
This was also the custom of the temple. When there were important guests visiting, they would ask them to leave their calligraphy to show their respect. Of course, not everyone knew calligraphy, and it was the same to sign and leave their name.
The Great Abbot had some understanding of Lu Chen and knew that Lu Chen knew calligraphy. Otherwise, his proposal would offend people instead of joining in the fun.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and agreed.
When Lu Chen was a child, he learned calligraphy from his grandfather and won the first prize in the city's primary school calligraphy competition. As a representative of Binhai City, he participated in the provincial competition. It was not until he was in high school and university that he gradually abandoned it.
However, his foundation was still there, and under the influence of Mo Ran in the dream world, he occasionally took time to practice martial arts. He had also written about it on his blog, so many people knew that his handwriting was good.
In the meditation room of the Shaolin Temple, Lu Chen picked up a brush and wrote on the rice paper, "The world's martial arts come from Shaolin."
His calligraphy could not be said to be very strong, and it was certainly much worse than a real calligrapher, but it was definitely among the best in the entertainment circle. Moreover, he practiced martial arts in Shaolin, so his writing had the momentum of martial arts. These few words were written with great strength, and the brush was like a dragon swimming in the air.
"Good writing!"
Both Mayor Lu and Shi Yongda praised in unison. Both of them knew calligraphy, especially Shi Yongda, who was an expert in this field. Naturally, he could distinguish the quality of the calligraphy.
As a young man in his twenties and not a professional calligrapher, Lu Chen's calligraphy was very good.
The most important thing was that the seven words "All the martial arts in the world originate from Shaolin" raised the status of Shaolin Temple to a very high level.
Lu Chen was not exaggerating. The saying 'All the martial arts in the world originates from Shaolin' had existed since ancient times, but not many people knew about it. Most of those who knew about it did not agree with it. Shaolin Temple was not in a position to boast about itself.
As an extremely influential celebrity, Lu Chen's praise for Shaolin Temple was stronger than any advertisement!
Shi Yongda immediately decided to frame it properly and place it in the Reception Hall for all the guests to see.
After the trip to Shaolin Temple, Lu Chen and his companions returned to the hotel.
That night, the official account of "The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer" released the video of the fight between Lu Chen and Shi Yongzhen on his blog.
Lu Chen and Chenfei Media reposted the video at the same time, which immediately attracted a lot of netizens.
"Awesome, my Chen!"
"This monk is also very good. He is on par with my Chen. Not bad, not bad."
"Wonderful! This Kung Fu is simply making my blood boil! "
"Shaolin Temple? Where is it from? "
"Damn, haven't you read the novel of" The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer "?"
"In the novel, Shaolin Temple is the biggest sect in the world!"
"Ah? There really is a Shaolin Temple? "
"I am so ignorant …"
Shaolin Temple was quite famous in Dengfeng, and almost all the locals knew about it. But in the whole country, very few people knew about it. Among Lu Chen's fans, only those who had read the original novel of "The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer" knew about Shaolin Temple.
The first song of "The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer", Sword of Mount Hua, did not mention Shaolin Temple, so many fans did not know about it. It was reasonable for them to be surprised by the fight between Lu Chen and Shaolin Temple.
But when the video of the fight spread quickly on the Internet, Shaolin Temple's fame suddenly soared. Many people searched for information about Shaolin Temple through search engines and found out that Shaolin Temple had a glorious history.
On October 18th, Dengfeng City Government held a press conference, announcing that the city government, Chenfei Media and Shaolin Temple would jointly establish Shaolin Temple Industry Development Co., Ltd., to promote Shaolin Wushu culture and promote the development of Mount Song tourism.
Chenfei Media invested 300 million, accounting for 40% of the shares, Shaolin Temple invested 40% of the shares, and Dengfeng City Government invested 300 mu of land and woodland near Shaolin Temple, accounting for 20% of the shares.
The newly established Shaolin Temple Industry Development Co., Ltd. would not only invest in the renovation and expansion of Shaolin Temple, but also establish Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Research Center and Shaolin Dojo. The former would study Shaolin Kung Fu, and the latter would be used to cultivate Shaolin Martial Arts talents.
According to Lu Chen's plan, Shaolin Dojo would become the talent training base of the Lu Family Squad, continuously providing new blood for his Wuxia IP plan.
In many people's view, Chenfei Media had suffered a big loss by spending 300 million to buy 40% of Shaolin Temple's shares, because the whole Shaolin Temple might not be worth 300 million.
In fact, as long as they could find a suitable place, they could build a temple bigger than Shaolin Temple with one or two hundred million. Why would they invest so much money without controlling the shares?
But in Lu Chen's view, the money spent was absolutely worth it. Once Shaolin Temple became famous, they could completely recover the cost by selling tickets, and they could even make a lot of money.
Now it was not a big problem for Chenfei Media to control the shares, but when Shaolin Temple was really making money, the problem would be very sensitive. Because Shaolin Temple itself was a cultural protection unit, the country had policy restrictions.
So in order to avoid future troubles, giving up the controlling shares and establishing a friendly cooperative relationship with Dengfeng City Government and Shaolin Temple was the way to long-term benefits.
And this money was not a one-time investment, so there was not much pressure for Chenfei Media.
In addition, Chenfei Media also announced that after shooting the last two parts of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", they would invest 150 million to shoot a movie under the name of "Shaolin Temple", which was expected to be released during the Spring Festival of 2020.
Such a series of big moves, coupled with the spontaneous promotion of the media, countless people were looking at Dengfeng and Shaolin Temple.
On October 19th, Shaolin Temple Official V went online on Waves Blog, and the number of fans exceeded 100,000 on the same day!
At the same time, the filming of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" in Mount Song was in full swing.
