Chapter 952 Kung Fu Dream

After hearing Connie's words, Ronan had roughly speculation. After all, he had been in close contact with Will Smith and Tom Cruise for many years, and the other party's situation was basically clear at a glance.

Will Smith is a veritable superstar in business, and it is not the kind who can only dominate the world in a single series. Two years ago, under the operation of Relativity Entertainment, he won the Oscar for Best Actor Xiao Jinren with the advantages of "When Happiness Comes Knocking the Door" and skin color, and both reached the peak of his life and acting career.

All of these made Will Smith stand at the top of the Hollywood circle.

But Will Smith has always had a wish or plan, and although he never said it, Ronan and Tom Cruise are very clear.

Ronan pushed open the office door, Will Smith sat on the sofa, greeted him, and said, "Didn't you disturb me?"

Connie closed the door and Ronan waved his hand: "I just met an old friend."

Will Smith looked like a gossip: "I heard that your first love is back in Los Angeles?"

Ronan looked at Will Smith: "There are still such rumors? It's so outrageous, just one of the ex-girlfriends."

Will Smith seems to be experienced: "Every ex-girlfriend is different, and has a unique taste."

Ronan discovered that this was not clear with Will Smith, so he simply changed the subject and asked, "You suddenly ran over to find me, is there anything wrong?"

This reminded Will Smith, and he quickly returned to the topic: "I have watched a movie project these days and I think it's very interesting, but I can't tell you, so I can only come to find you."

While speaking, he opened the bag next to him, took out a stack of documents, and handed them over to Ronan.

It is related to his son's future. Will Smith thinks that Ronan can be optimistic and can rest assured.

"What project?" Ronan was a little curious: "I've invited you to play the leading role again?"

As far as he knows, actors like Will Smith and Tom Cruise receive only one stack of invitations every day.

Will Smith said: "A director named Harold Zwat recommended it to me. He has directed films such as "Discharge Innocence" before."

The name of this director is very strange. Ronan has never heard of it, but Will Smith receives many project recommendations every day. What can attract his attention must be unique.

Luo Nan opened the information and started reading it carefully.

Will Smith said as much as ever: "Harold Zwat designed this plan, and he wanted to remake the popular movie "Dragon Hard Boy" released in the 1980s in the hands of Sony Columbia Pictures."

Ronan knew that this film was a trilogy series to be exact, and it seemed that the global box office combined had a total of 300 million US dollars.

This is $300 million in the 1980s!

Therefore, "Dragon Hard Boy" is a very successful commercial film in the 1980s.

Ronan quickly browsed the information, which was obviously written by a director. The information not only included a script outline, but also had a simple shooting plan.

The outline is very distinctive in the Eastern Hong Kong City movie. For example, the male protagonist is a little boy who practices martial arts, and there is a key supporting role, similar to the Eastern martial arts or other hidden characters in the world.

These made Luo Nan quickly think of the name of a movie he once watched - "Kung Fu Dream".

Think about the former male protagonist, look at the Forevil Will Smith in front of you, and think about the close relationship between the two for many years. It is not surprising that Ronan can appear in front of you.

Will Smith's words continued: "I saw this project and I thought it was very good at first sight, so I fell in love with it. The original work has long been recognized by the market and the audience..."

Ronan quickly browsed the information, closed the information and asked directly: "Will, is this a movie project you prepared for Jaden?"

The two of them have been friends for many years, and they still have some understanding of each other. Will Smith touched the left ear and said with a smile: "Ronan, don't you think the character of the little boy inside is very suitable for Jaden to play?"

Regarding this father who was worried about his son, Ronan had nothing to say, so he could only silently recite "I feel sorry for my parents in the world."

Will Smith said: "I have had enough communication with director Harold Zwat. According to his ideas, what the new work needs to do is to pull out the highlights of the movie and put them on this brand new story. If the project can be completed, Jaden will be a very cute child who will face many challenges in a strange environment."

Speaking of his son's future, Will Smith was obviously a little excited: "This movie is the growth history of a child! It can also be Jaden's growth history!"

Luo Nan nodded slowly, recalled for a moment, and asked, "I remember the original work seemed to be from islanders and karate, right?"

"Yes, it's karate." Will Smith obviously communicated enough with director Harold Zwat: "The original action scenes are mainly karate in the island country. But karate has long been outdated in Hollywood, and Harold Zwat is preparing to use the kung fu that has been popular in Hollywood in the previous years in this movie."

Ronan said directly: "Will, there is something I need to remind you."

Will Smith nodded silently: "Though said."

"The final kung fu scene effect achieved in the film is that the actors need to put in a lot of effort to make the audience amazed." Ronan said slowly: "If you want Jia Deng to play this role, it may take him three months or even longer to study and undergo professional kung fu training, otherwise the film may have a dance effect similar to "Pierre Angel".

Will Smith nodded repeatedly: "I understand that Jaden can do it. Jaden is an absolute kung fu fan. Since he was sensible, he has obtained various kung fu films at home. He once hoped that I could shoot a kung fu movie. Even if it was not a pure kung fu movie, it should at least be an action movie with a lot of martial arts scenes. In fact, I had such an opportunity more than ten years ago..."

Ronan knew that Will Smith mentioned the "The Matrix". At that time, the cast and Warner Bros. were the first male lead candidate to consider. Keanu Reeves, who was invited after Will Smith refused.

"Later, I kept paying attention to this kind of subject, but unfortunately I didn't encounter a script that made me feel suitable." Will Smith pointed to the material in Ronan's hand: "Until I saw this project, I was wondering if it was possible to let Jaden play in such a movie himself?"

Ronan said: "I have an idea, maybe I can invite Jack Chen to try it."

"Jack Chen?" Will Smith immediately understood what Ronan meant: "Who did you let Jack Chen play for Jaden and play the role of the Kung Fu master?"

Ronan nodded slightly: "It's just a preliminary idea."

Will Smith understood what the following words meant: "Ronan, are you optimistic about this project?"

"It's okay." Ronan said the truth: "I think there is a certain operating space in the hands of Relativity Entertainment."

Will Smith patted his thigh: "I'll feel relieved when I work with you."

With the friendship between the two, there is no need to say those words in circles, Ronan said directly: "Relativity Entertainment has been developing the Eastern market across the Pacific Ocean. This is a good topic and people on the other side should like it."

Will Smith fully agrees with Ronan's statement: "The main plot of the movie is about how a Western child grows up in the cultural context of the East, and his life mentor is an old man with great kung fu. It can provide an interesting perspective to interpret the Eastern Kung fu and Eastern culture. This story can be used on both sides of the Pacific. We should make it into a global production. I think both Asian and Western audiences can be attracted by the story."

Ronan said: "I hope so too."

To be honest, this film has nothing to do with oriental culture. It is completely a type of selling dog meat under the guise of sheep. All the gimmicks are nothing more than market considerations, rather than showing culture from the East on the big screen.

As for the content of the video before, it was completely the Oriental that Hollywood imagined out of thin air.

As for the Eastern Kung Fu culture, it is almost synonymous with liars. Various martial arts masters are indeed emerging one after another. Unfortunately, there is no point in talent or effort, and it is all added to "deception".

Even in a few years, what is the first thought of ordinary people when someone talks about "Kung Fu Master" or "Martial Arts Master"?

It is estimated that the chance of the answer to "scammer" is extremely high.

Luo Nan shook his head and no longer thought about these things. After all, it is useless to think too much. He neither can solve it nor has the heart to solve it.

"Have the project made a preliminary budget?" Ronan asked Will Smith.

Will Smith said: "The director didn't do it, but after I communicated with him, I found someone to make a special estimate and it would take about $20 million."

Ronan tapped his finger lightly and said, "Yes. Will, Relativity Entertainment can operate this project."

"Okay." Will Smith came to Ronan today, for this, and immediately asked, "What are the things I need to do?"

For the sake of his son, Will Smith dared to face the bleak life.

Ronan has a rough impression that this is obviously a project of "Kung Fu Dream". It was once a famous work of Will Smith's son Jaden and was also the highest peak in film. After the film was released, many media even hyped up the "tiger father has no dog son" and listed Jaden Smith as one of the most promising new stars in Hollywood's future.

Unfortunately, Jaden Smith never had any better work than "Kung Fu Dream".

It would be better not to mention the weird works like "Return to Earth" created by Will Smith in order to promote him.

This film can also be said to be a brief rejuvenation of the Kung Fu type in Hollywood.
