Looking at the silent child, Mark hesitated, thinking that the other person didn't speak English.
When Nicholas behind him saw this, he immediately came over and said in broken Chinese that he had learned for a while:"Ni Nao, I, learn Kung Fu.……"
"You can speak English."
After Lin Chen finished speaking fluent English, the two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid of meeting someone who didn't know English.
Mark said:"Hi, hello kids, my name is Mark, and this is my friend Nicholas. Cage, we know this is the Shaolin Temple and we can learn Shaolin Kung Fu. I wonder if any of you are adults?"
"They all went out."
Lin Chen didn't care about the other party's disrespectful words. After all, his current body was indeed that of a child.
Nicolas Cage frowned:"Going out? When will they come back?"
"We're going out to eat. It should be a while. If you want to learn kung fu, you can come in first."
"Wow, that's awesome."
Soon, Lin Chen greeted the two of them and walked into the house.
Looking at the various traditional Chinese weapons placed around him, Nicholas looked very curious and enthusiastic.
At that time, he was still an artistic young man, and his filming route was still literary films. So he would often study some foreign niche-themed movies.
As Asia's premier film shooting base, Hong Kong Island has produced many classic films, especially the emergence of Bruce Lee, which made the word Kung Fu resound in Hollywood at that time..Thus changing the one-punch-one-punch fighting style of street gangsters in Hollywood for many years.
Due to family factors, Nicholas has watched many kung fu movies, in addition to Jack Cheng's kung fu movies, there are also those martial arts movies shot by Shaw Brothers.
These movies are actually niche themes in the United States. After all, kung fu movies have not yet completely made waves in North America. So when I saw the 18 kinds of weapons in the room, each one felt familiar, as if I had seen it in a martial arts movie. This made Nicholas wish he could learn kung fu from his master right now.
Soon, Nicholas's eyes were attracted by a huge sword.
This sword was more than two meters long, with a thick head and a handle made entirely of steel. It was made.
Just putting it there gave people an inexplicable sense of shock.
Nicholas couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched the head of the big knife.
The heavy feeling and the cold feeling of steel showed that this was indeed a knife. The big knife was made of pure steel, not paper.
Nicholas couldn't help but shout in his heart, who can pick up such a big knife!
At this time, Lin Chen walked to his side and smiled. He said:"You like it very much?"
"certainly! It's cool isn't it? Can you tell me the name of this weapon?"
"Close the knife!"
"780 Irrigation...Tao?"
"close,!"
Lin Chen spoke in Chinese fluently. Seeing that he didn't understand, he smiled and said:"Do you know Guan Gong? He is a statue with a red face and a long beard."
"Guan Yu? Nicholas frowned, suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise:"I know, is it the god that you Chinese often worship?""
"Yes, this knife is the weapon of that god"
"You mean, this is an artifact?"
"No, just a knockoff"
"But imitations are already cool."
Nicholas held the handle of the knife and used a little strength. It felt that it weighed at least sixty or seventy kilograms. He could pick it up, but if he wanted to dance, it was probably not something that ordinary people could do.
"This is too heavy. Will you fight with it?"
"sometimes will."Lin Chen stepped forward, grabbed the Guandao with one hand, and lifted it up forcefully.
Seeing this scene, Nicholas was shocked.
He just tried it himself. This Guandao is not heavy, but it is definitely not heavy either. It's so light, and this kid who looks like he's only eight or nine years old can actually lift it with one hand!
"Oh My God! You, you can actually raise it with one hand! Mark behind him also noticed this scene and ran over in shock:"Quick, put it down and let me try.""
"OK"
Lin Chen smiled and put down the Guandao. His current strength, with the blessing of two peerless martial arts, was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Mark took a step forward, first imitating Lin Chen's example, grabbing the handle of the knife with one hand and trying to lift it. He also exercised all year round and didn't think he couldn't lift it.
If it was that kind of barbell, he might be able to do it, but the ozeki sword is top-heavy, which not only tests strength, but also tests balance.
Mark just raised it a little, and the knife head immediately fell down, almost hitting Nicolas Cage who was watching the show next to him.
"Hi Mark! You almost hit me"
"Sorry, it's just this knife……"
Mark only tried it once and knew that he could not raise this big knife with one hand for the time being. He couldn't help but look back at the child who retreated behind. He was shocked by the strength of the other person and even more shocked by the other person's calmness.
Seeing that the other person also had a bald head and was wearing white clothes, Mark hesitated. Could this be the worldly master that Chinese Americans often say?
Nicolas Cage also came over and asked curiously:"Hi, can you tell me what your name is?"
"a dust"
"One, dust?"
"Yes"
"Are you also a priest of Shaolin Temple?"
"we call them monks"
"Yes, monk~"
Looking at the curious Nicolas Cage and his friend Mark beside him, Lin Chen smiled slightly and said:"I am indeed a monk in Shaolin Temple, but not here, but in China.."
Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. The reason why they came to Queens was to learn that there was a kung fu monk from the Shaolin Temple in China.
Now not even one That such a small child can pick up such a heavy sword is enough to show that this can indeed teach them real kung fu.
Nicolas Cage stretched out his hand and said:"Hello Yi... Yichen, my name is Nicolas Cage , nice to meet you, you are so awesome, when I was your age, I couldn’t even lift my bicycle. Lin
Chen did not shake hands with the other party, but bowed his hands. After saluting, he said:"Hello Mr. Cage, I know you.""
Nicholas was originally curious about whether his movement was the same as the left hand wrapping the right hand in Hong Kong martial arts movies, but he was surprised when the other party said he knew him:"You know me? Didn’t you say you are a monk from China?"
"I am a monk from China, but does this have anything to do with the fact that I have watched your movie? Your film"Wild at Heart" was very well done, and it was well deserved to win the Palme d'Or."
Lin Chen knows this person very well. As an old friend of the Chinese people, Nicolas Cage's experience is barely legendary. When he was young, he made his fortune by making literary films. At the age of 29, he won an Oscar. The best actor, he threw himself into the embrace of commercial films.
In just a few years, his achievements in commercial films reached the limit that could be achieved at that time, and he became a top star with a salary of up to 20 million US dollars.
And then all the way Decline, the dozen or so movies he made were all big bad movies, and he eventually became the king of bad movies.
Nicolas Cage did not feel proud because he was a Chinese, but after watching his movies, he frowned. He said carefully:"My movie is a restricted R-rated movie, and it is prohibited for people under 17 years old to watch it. I think you are not old enough yet, so you shouldn't watch it."
After hearing this, Lin Chen was slightly startled, and then he felt a little more favorable towards the king of bad movies. The reason why he patiently contacted the other party was that he wanted to recruit a Hollywood star disciple for Senior Brother Guolin, even if The other party mainly came here to learn kung fu.
On the other hand, it was because of Nicolas Cage’s Jewish identity and the backers behind him.
Now many people outside the circle don’t know that Nicolas Cage’s real name is Nicolas King Coppola.
The Coppola family is a famous art family and film family in the United States.
The most famous one is probably the director of the famous"The Godfather" trilogy, Francis Ford Coppola. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network! ) and his future director daughter Sofia Coppola.
And Nicolas Cage is actually the nephew of the godfather director.
If it were just a family that made movies, Lin Chen wouldn't care about it, but as a person from later generations, he I know that the Coppola family is considered a first-class family in American Jewish circles.
Of course, this is not judged by the amount of money, but by the influence, the development of the family, and the network of relationships.
With the help of Nicolas Cage's relationship , Lin Chen can quickly break into the circle of Jews, and then through the teachings of Buddhism, these people can gradually accept and believe in Buddhism.
Even if they cannot change their own beliefsTaijiao, but what goes up works.
As long as the top group of Hollywood Jews like Buddhism, those Hollywood stars who want resources will definitely find ways to learn or pay attention to this knowledge and culture.
In this way, we can further understand the magic of Lin Chen.
Many people think that the West is advanced and scientific, but in fact the United States, an emerging country that integrates multiple ethnic groups and countries, is the country where fallacies are most prevalent.
The famous Tom Cruise is a member of a cult called Science, and he is a devout member for decades.
Any international entertainment industry is essentially inseparable from three things: luck, resources, and connections.
Luck is the first priority. Many people who have resources and connections but are not lucky will quickly lose the resources they should have and lose everyone.
Lin Chen, who has future memories and"Ma Yi Shen Xiang Lu", knows all about the good and bad box office of those Hollywood blockbuster movies, as well as those celebrities who can become famous, and those people who are box office poison.
Then the media and movie fans will be surprised to find that their favorite celebrities, actors, and athletes have actually begun to wear Buddhist amulets and worship a Buddha statue named Happy Buddha.
By that time, Lin Chen, the living Buddha, the sun in the hearts of the Jews, the leader pursued by Hollywood stars, and the investment guru in the eyes of the rich... naturally became the new god in the hearts of the American people...
Due to indescribable things in the country, Lin Chen didn't dare to go too far to earn happiness points, but when he arrived in the United States, he had nothing to worry about.
More than an hour later.
Senior Brother Guolin took Master Xuannan and others out of the restaurant and returned directly to the West Shaolin Temple.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Chen sitting on a futon. There were two foreigners sitting in front of him. They looked like they were listening attentively, like devout believers.
"Senior Brother Guolin!"
Seeing the rightful master coming, Lin Chen stood up and said,"These two said they came to learn Shaolin Kung Fu. Guo
Lin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and quickly walked forward with the disciples he had gathered here, saying:"You two, you are also here to learn."……"
The Chinese man with a clear name next to him saw clearly the appearance of one of them and immediately exclaimed in English:"Nicolas Cage!"
"Yes, it's me.
Nicolas Cage said with a smile:"Hello, could you please tell this master that I want to join the Shaolin Temple and learn Shaolin Kung Fu?""
"But..."
Mingjing glanced at the host Guolin beside him, and said hesitantly:"Mr. Cage, we are not a martial arts school, we are a temple, similar to Christianity, but we only teach kung fu.……"
Nicolas Cage nodded:"I know, Master Yichen has just told me that I will consult Master Yichen about religious matters, but as for kung fu, I hope to learn it at the Shaolin Temple."
Ming Jing glanced Glancing at Lin Chen not far away, he thought that the abbot's junior brother was quite capable. Not only could he speak English, but he had also succeeded in attracting this big star.
He hurriedly told Senior Brother Guo Lin about this matter. Senior Brother Guo Lin also looked at Lin Chen in astonishment. When he saw Lin Chen nodded, he said to Mingjing:"Tell this gentleman that I can agree to teach him Shaolin Kung Fu. In Buddhism, Regarding the matter, he can go to Yichen to teach him."
Brother Guolin knew that his Buddhist knowledge was not high, and because of his age, he was still not fluent in English, so except for the Chinese and Asian disciples who knew Chinese, he accepted Several lay disciples actually came here with the intention of learning Kung Fu.[]
"marvelous! Nicolas
Cage was very excited, and then he seemed to think of something.
He took out a check from the inner pocket of his jacket, scrawled a bunch of numbers, and then handed it to Mingjing and said:
"Please tell this kung fu master that this money is my tuition fee."
"Ten...hundred thousand."Mingjing was stunned, this is one hundred thousand dollars? As expected of a big star, he was so generous with the money.
He immediately told Senior Brother Guolin about the matter and handed him the check.
"One hundred thousand tuition fees? Guo Lin was surprised and said,"You didn't tell him, isn't this a martial arts school?""
"Said, but he……"
Before Mingjing could finish speaking, Lin Chen said:"Brother, I have already told this layman Cage that he knows that the money is donated to the temple, but he is Jewish and cannot use it as a gift. This kind of behavior is not allowed to other religions."
In fact, Christianity also has a donation method similar to sesame oil money, but it is called a donation.
It’s not that Nicholas didn’t understand, but he couldn’t do it, so he changed the word to tuition.
After all, there are no rules, so you can’t pay to learn something, right?
"All right."Senior Brother Guolin nodded. Before he came to the United States to build the New York Shaolin Temple, the people above him told him that the beliefs in the United States are complicated. If others don't believe in you, it doesn't matter. If others believe in Buddhism and believe in other things, it doesn't matter. Go and take care of it.
Brother Guolin said:"Amitabha, layman Cage, when do you think you can come to my place to learn kung fu?""
"I may not have time recently, so I’ll contact you next time I come over."
After the translation, Cage took out his business card and handed it to Senior Brother Guolin:"This is my business card."
"Uh, okay."It has been two years since he came to the United States. He skillfully took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.
This scene made Uncle Xuannan, Senior Brother Yongxin and others who were watching the show behind him dumbfounded.
Then. Brother Yongxin's eyes lit up. There seems to be no monk in China who has made business cards for himself, right?
Why don't he look back and wait until he returns to China? He can also find someone to print some business cards. In the future, when he meets lay people and kind guests, he will send a business card to them. They.
In this way, these lay people and kind guests can contact him directly if they need anything in the future.
Good, good, I learned another trick. Sure enough, I came to the United States with my uncle this time.
Exchange good business cards Finally, Nicolas Cage came to Lin Chen and said respectfully:
"Master Yichen, after I have settled the matter in a few days, I would like to invite the master to go to Los Angeles to help me with Feng Shui."
"No problem, Mr. Cage. Lin
Chen smiled faintly. In the hour just now, he had chatted with the other party a lot, including about luck and feng shui.
The stars in Hollywood are actually quite superstitious, but they don’t believe in fortune telling. Not the Book of Changes, but astrology, witches, and the like.
And Nicolas Cage is actually a relatively superstitious person.
This can be seen from his future behavior.
Lin Chen just based on his past, casually After giving him a few words of advice, Nicolas Cage immediately admired him. Not only did he ask for Lin Chen’s contact information, but he also hoped to find a free time so that Lin Chen could do a divination for him.
