Chapter 357 Songshan Shaolin Temple Scenic Area, Tianhai’s (please subscribe)

"If I remember correctly, there should be a mural in Shaolin Temple of thirteen stick monks saving the King of Tang, right?" Wang Xuan asked.

"There is such a picture, why?" the host asked.

"I plan to make a Kung Fu blockbuster based on the mural of 'Thirteen Stick Monks Save the King of Tang', and the historical background of the Sui and Tang Dynasties when heroes competed for supremacy in the Central Plains, combined with Shaolin Kung Fu. The film will be called 'Shaolin Temple'."

After Wang Xuan finished speaking, the host of Shaolin Temple's eyes brightened and he even breathed a little quickly: "What did you say? You said you planned to shoot a Kung Fu blockbuster named after "Shaolin Temple"?"

"Yes, and the filming location is at Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain. I believe the host should understand what this means to Shaolin, right?" Wang Xuan said.

The abbot of Shaolin Temple nodded, a little excited.

Of course he understands what this means. The Shaolin Temple used to be very prosperous, with two to three thousand disciples, and a constant flow of tourists. However, it has declined in recent years. Ultimately, it is because of a lack of publicity.

This is also the reason why the host originally hoped that Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu would help promote the Shaolin Temple after they became famous in the entertainment industry. However, they met three white-eyed wolves, and now they no longer count on them.

The benefactor in front of me said that he wanted to shoot a movie named after "Shaolin", and the shooting location was in Songshan. If it was true, Li Dawei, Jiang Long and Wang Hu would no longer be needed to promote the Shaolin Temple, because the movie

It's the best publicity.

As long as the publicity is in place, Shaolin Temple will soon prosper.

How can a host not be excited about this?

Wang Xuan, who planned to film "Shaolin Temple", immediately became a living Bodhisattva in the eyes of the host. The host immediately said that if Wang Xuan really shoots this movie, if there is any need, all members of the Shaolin Temple will fully cooperate.

"I really want to film "Shaolin Temple". The script has been written, but I need suitable martial arts actors." Wang Xuan said.

"No problem. There is nothing else in Shaolin Temple. There are a lot of Kung Fu monks, old ones, young ones, tall ones, fat ones and thin ones. There are all kinds. As long as the donor needs it, he can definitely choose the right one.

.But now many people have gone down the mountain to beg for alms. Just wait a moment. I will inform them to come back now. It will take at least two days and the personnel will be in place." The attitude of the host of Shaolin Temple has made a 180-degree turn. Before, he ignored it, but now

Very enthusiastic.

"By the way, may I ask the donor's last name? Which entertainment company is he from?" The host suddenly remembered something and asked.

The host is not worried that he has met a liar, because the other person does not look like a liar. The latter's clothes and dress make him look like a wealthy person, and the few accompanying him, the host can tell at a glance that they are all practicing tricks

, his skills are definitely good.

"Wan Gui, surnamed Wang, Shan Mingxuan, is the person in charge of Tianhai Entertainment." Wang Xuan said, and then told Weng Yong: "Ah Yong, leave a phone number for the host. Let's go down the mountain first and come back up in two days. Also.

, first give 100,000 incense money to Shaolin Temple to temporarily improve the lives of all the masters."

"Okay." Weng Yong said.

In fact, when the host heard Wang Xuan say he would come back in two days, he was a little anxious. He was a little worried that Wang Xuan and others would never come back. But after hearing the last sentence, especially when the young man left a phone number for him,

After transferring 100,000 yuan to him, the worries in my heart were completely gone. Because Wang Xuan was too generous, and he gave him 100,000 yuan in incense money. It is impossible for such a generous person to use them for entertainment.

"Thank you to the donor for your generosity. After the personnel are in place, I will call the donor to come up?" the host said.

Wang Xuan nodded: "Just call Ayong. I just have something to do and need to go down the mountain. Otherwise, it's okay to just stay in the Shaolin Temple and wait."

Wang Xuan's words are not to shirk, he does have something to do, and of course, this matter is also related to the movie "Shaolin Temple". He plans to discuss cooperation with the local tourism bureau.

Wang Xuan is very aware of the power of the movie "Shaolin Temple". When he finishes filming "Shaolin Temple" and when this movie is successfully released, it will definitely attract many tourists to come to Shaolin Temple for sightseeing and checking in.

This is a big piece of cake. In another time and space, the Shaolin Temple attractions earn up to 300 million in ticket revenue every year, but the money that really belongs to the Shaolin Temple is not much. A large part of it flows into a company called "Hong Kong China Travel Service".

The real shareholders behind this "Hong Kong China Travel Service" company are Hong Kong China Travel Service International Investment and Shaolin Temple Cultural Tourism Group.

To put it bluntly, "Hong Kong China Travel Service" is a company jointly established by Xiangjiang China Travel International Investment and local relevant departments. And Xiangjiang China Travel International Investment can do it, why can't Tianhai?

Wang Xuan doesn't want to take advantage of others. He wants Tianhai to replace Xiangjiang China Travel International Investment Co., Ltd. and cooperate with the local government or tourism bureau to form a company, with Tianhai investing in it, to develop the Shaolin Temple scenic spot.

In another time and space, before filming "Shaolin Temple", Hong Kong Centaline Film Company probably did not expect that "Shaolin Temple" would be so popular, let alone that the popular "Shaolin Temple" would also make Songshan Shaolin Temple popular, otherwise it probably would not let this big land go.

Cake, cheap for nothing.

Generally speaking, ordinary scenic spots belong to the government. Shaolin Temple is not a scenic spot at all now, so Wang Xuan went directly to the relevant personnel of the local government to explain his intention.

The other party was overjoyed when he heard this, but the establishment of a scenic spot was too big a deal and he didn't dare to make the decision, so he quickly reported it to the mayor.

Soon, the mayor personally met with Wang Xuan and his party.

The mayor attaches great importance to what Wang Xuan said about setting up a scenic spot in the Songshan Shaolin Temple. This is a great thing. Establishing a scenic spot is not easy, and the investment must be at least hundreds of millions.

In fact, before meeting with Wang Xuan, the mayor had no idea whether it was feasible to establish a scenic spot at the Songshan Shaolin Temple, because as far as he knew, the Songshan Shaolin Temple had few tourists, and even there were only three hundred monks left.

In fact, he came here more for the investor Wang Xuan. Even if it is not feasible to establish a scenic spot in Songshan Shaolin Temple, as long as Wang Xuan is retained, as long as the other party invests several hundred million in the city, it is still a deal for him.

What a rich political achievement.

So the mayor received Wang Xuan warmly.

"Hello, I am the mayor of Yangcheng City. My surname is Wu. What do you call me sir?" After asking his secretary to serve a cup of tea to Wang Xuan and others, Mayor Wu took the lead in introducing himself.

"Hello, Mayor Wu, my name is Wang Xuan, the boss of Tianhai Entertainment." Wang Xuan responded.

"So you are Teacher Wang Xuan. I have listened to your songs. They are very good." Mayor Wu obviously knew Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan became even more enthusiastic after he reported his family name.

"Thank you, Mayor Wu, for your love."

"This is not flattery. Not only do I like your songs, my daughter also likes you very much, and my son also admires you." Mayor Wu said, "By the way, I heard from the people below that Teacher Wang Xuan plans to

Cooperate with the government to establish a scenic special zone at the Songshan Shaolin Temple?"

"Yes." Wang Xuan nodded.

"Is the Songshan Shaolin Temple suitable for establishing a scenic spot?"

"Why doesn't it fit?

First of all, Shaolin Temple is the holy place of Buddhism in my country and the ancestral home of the "Zen" Buddhism in Han Dynasty. In 527 AD, the famous Indian monk Bodhidharma (the Patriarch of Bodhidharma) sailed to southern China by water, then crossed the Yangtze River north into the Central Plains, and came to Shaolin, in the mountains behind the Shaolin Temple, practiced Zen and taught the Dharma, pioneering the Zen method of "imprinting the heart with the heart", thus establishing the lofty status of the Zen ancestral hall of the Shaolin Temple.

Many tourists come to Shaolin Temple to worship Buddha and pray for peace.

Secondly, Shaolin Temple is the source of martial arts in our country.

After "Thirteen Stick Monks Rescued Li Shimin" in the early Tang Dynasty, Shaolin Temple became famous all over the world for its superb Shaolin Kung Fu. Since then, Shaolin monks' martial arts practice has become a common practice and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Shaolin Temple is the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu, and the Shaolin School is a martial arts sect with a wide range, a long history, and many types of boxing. It has been regarded by the Chinese people as the "No. 1 martial arts sect in the world" since ancient times, and the Taishan Beidou of martial arts in the world.

The world's martial arts originated from Shaolin, and this is by no means just talk.

Furthermore, the Shaolin Temple also has many architectural complexes, such as the Pagoda Forest, Chuzu Temple, and Bodhidharma Cave, which are very suitable for visiting, checking in, and taking photos. In addition, the Shaolin Temple is located in Songshan Mountain, and the scenery of Songshan Mountain is picturesque.

It is most appropriate to build a scenic special zone with Songshan Shaolin Temple as the center." Wang Xuan said.

Mayor Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this. The majestic Songshan Mountain, cascading waterfalls, deep and solemn ancient temples, various Buddha statues, as well as pagodas, monuments, murals, and famous calligraphy. Not to mention, it seems to be quite interesting.

of.

Moreover, Wang Xuan had obviously done his homework before approaching the government. So Mayor Wu asked: "Are there any specific plans?"

"There must be a plan. But before that, I would like to ask Mayor Wu, if Tianhai cooperates with the Yangcheng government to establish a scenic special zone at the Songshan Shaolin Temple, will the government plan to fund it? Or will it be completely funded by Tianhai?"

"As long as the plan is good, there is no problem for the government to provide people and land, but the financing may have to be provided by Tianhai. If you don't worry, the Yangcheng government's finances are quite tight, and money is needed everywhere." Wu

the mayor said.

"That's no problem. Tianhai can invest 300 million to cooperate with the government to establish a large-scale scenic spot with Shaolin Temple as the center. At the same time, Tianhai can be responsible for the publicity of the Shaolin Temple scenic spot, but Tianhai will hold 40% of the shares." Wang Xuan said.

"Impossible! 40% is too much." Mayor Wu refused without thinking.

"Why is it impossible? Tianhai has invested 300 million, and is also responsible for providing scenic spot design plans and publicity work. 40% of the shares should not be excessive, right?" Wang Xuan said.

"Teacher Wang Xuan, from a personal perspective, I think giving 40% to Tianhai is certainly not much, and even giving 50% is not too much. But from the government's perspective, private companies cooperate with the government to establish a scenic spot and want to occupy 40% of the area.

% of the shares is absolutely impossible, because there is no such precedent. If I set this precedent, I will probably be the end of the mayor." Mayor Wu said.

"Then how many shares does Mayor Wu think is appropriate for Tianhai?" Wang Xuan asked.

"At most 20%."

"That's it. Sorry for disturbing Mayor Wu's work." Wang Xuan shook his head, and after saying hello to Weng Yong and others, he left.

"Hey, Teacher Wang Xuan, don't leave. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again."

"There is nothing to discuss. Mayor Wu, I came here with sincerity. Tianhai provided full capital, came up with a plan, and was responsible for publicity. It took all the risks, but could only get 20% of the shares.

Your government only needs to provide land and provide some personnel for management. It does not need to bear any other risks, but it occupies 80% of the shares. Would you like to change it for you?

Since Mayor Wu has no sincerity at all, what else is there to discuss?" Wang Xuan said.

"Isn't this bargaining for business?" Mayor Wu explained.

"I'm not bargaining. Mayor Wu, to tell you the truth, my original price was 40% of the shares. I originally planned not to agree even if it was even less, but you said there is no precedent for this. If you set a precedent,

It may be very troublesome, so I agreed to have fewer shares. But you can't treat me as a scapegoat just because I understand you." Wang Xuan said.

"Okay, it's my fault. So how many shares does Mr. Wang Xuan think is appropriate? How about 25%?" Mayor Wu tentatively asked.

"Too little. But I guess Tianhai will have too much, and it will be difficult for Mayor Wu to do it. 30%. If Mayor Wu agrees, we can discuss the detailed plan. If not, forget it. There will be opportunities in the future.

We are cooperating." Wang Xuan said.

Wang Xuan said it nicely, but in fact he was bargaining. Because he knew very well that it was impossible for the government to give Tianhai 40% of the shares. His psychological price was 30% of the shares, and even 25% of the shares was barely enough.

But he must not directly offer the reserve price at the beginning, otherwise it will be difficult for Tianhai to get this price. Calling for 40% of the shares is different. It is to get the upper hand, give the other party a psychological hint at the beginning, and then relax a little, and the business will be easily closed.

This is called asking for high prices and then paying back the money on the ground.
