A budget of 20 million US dollars is not low for such a project. If it is high, the risk of making a profit will become huge. After all, kung fu films have never been mainstream in the North American market.

Ronan reminded Will Smith about some important things: "Let Jaden start preparing in advance. Many shots require actors to take photos in person during shooting, so there is no harm in preparing in advance."

Will Smith answered: "I will hire a professional teacher for him when I go back."

Ronan said: "Do you know Tiger-Chan?"

"I know." Will Smith smiled: "One of the action instructions in the "Matrix" series."

Ronan simply said: "As far as I know, Tiger Chen has been in Hollywood and you can consider hiring professionals to train Jaden in Tiger Chen's team."

Will Smith wrote down: "I'll go and call Tiger Chen in person."

Of course, he has to do his son's future.

Ronan said at this time: "There is another key point. Will, this needs to be solved."

Will Smith responded hurriedly: "No problem."

"Since this is an old movie remake project, we must consider possible copyright disputes." Ronan said the key point: "It is best to get the remake of "Dragon Hard Boy" from Sony Columbia Pictures to avoid copyright disputes."

Will Smith was also cautious: "This is a must."

Ronan continued: "At present, I am more sensitive to Relativity Entertainment and I am not suitable for coming forward, otherwise Sony Columbia Pictures may quote sky-high prices or not authorize them at all."

Will Smith thought of Ronan and Relativity Entertainment's success and knew that this possibility not only existed, but also had a very high chance of existence.

"Leave the copyright to me." Will Smith took the initiative to take it over: "I have worked with Sony Columbia Pictures for many years and are currently working on "Superman Hancock". It should not be difficult to get the authorization."

Ronan said: "Yes, Will, you get the copyright as soon as possible."

Will Smith smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a solution."

Ronan completely believed Will Smith in this matter. This was a black movie star who dared to suppress everything for his son's future.

Will Smith will definitely do his best to do this.

Ronan discussed with Will Smith for a while and agreed to have an interview with director Hadro Zwack as soon as possible. Will Smith said goodbye and left the Relativity Building.

He wants to do his son's job, find a professional coach, get relevant copyrights, and have a big deal to do.

In contrast, Ronan was much more relaxed, but he asked Connie to transfer the relevant information of "Kung Fu Dream" to Shahai Entertainment, and then wait for news from Will Smith.

In addition, he also called the screenwriter department, and the screenwriter department would also prepare to draw or recruit personnel to improve the project script.

As for the screenwriter who doesn’t understand Kung Fu and always moves on Eastern culture, it is actually not important.

You can go to the East for on-site inspection.

If you think about the movie carefully, it is not difficult to find that the character setting and storyline of the entire movie are very illusory, like an oriental story imagined by an American sitting at home.

With the deep-rooted cognitive relationship for many years, everyone in the East can have some skills, even a property uncle who builds sewers is a peerless master.

The screenwriters regard him as Super Mario, right?

I guess Hollywood screenwriters don’t understand the real terrifying existence like Sweeping Monk.

In their eyes, the hidden plumber is so awesome.

The plumber's English is more professional and speaks very well.

On the other hand, there are various prejudices in Hollywood.

Everyone in the East knows martial arts, and the main roads are the roofs!

In order to maintain the Americans' weird parallel worldview, Hollywood directors have racked their brains.

In addition to "Kung Fu Dream", there is also "Kung Fu King".

The plot of that movie is not very strange, especially the setting of a foreign male protagonist.

These are the same as Hollywood.

Asian children are tall and mighty, and brave. Under the guidance of strict teachers, they are merciless to any opponent and must be put to death. The scenic spots in the east are always hidden, so there are always some monks who do nothing but practice martial arts and qigong on the top of the mountain like a tourist destination.

There are monks in scenic spots, but they are all professional.

This modern commercial society can even be commercialized in seclusion, playing various tricks, let alone scenic temples?

The Li Lin Group and its fat chairman and CEO are definitely typical examples of business success in this area.

Luo Nan also made some preliminary plans. If conditions permit, the film will be filmed on the ground in the East.

The advantages are very obvious.

For example, some representative scenic spots, such as exotic styles for North American audiences, such as the use of shocking large-scale group gymnastics group performances, etc.

Especially the latter, the effect of allowing hundreds of people to perform martial arts group gymnastics in the movie at the same time is definitely quite shocking.

Ronan will also ask the main creative team to go to the East for on-site inspection during the preparation period. After all, this is a realistic theme and cannot be filmed too outrageously.

Next is to invite Jack Chen, who can be said to be the most well-known Chinese actor in Hollywood and has a certain box office appeal.

The only one that really has a market in North America is the only kung fu movie.

Embassy Film once conducted a professional survey on the North American film market. The three cultural symbols that North American audiences are most interested in oriental movies are Oriental Kung Fu, natural landscape and oriental architecture. The top three Oriental movie stars most popular among North American audiences are action superstars such as Jack Chen, Jet Lee and Little Ma Ge.

For film projects like "Kung Fu Dream", North America is still the main market for revenue. Production and distribution companies must understand that as the main body of the film market, they are interested in what oriental elements in the film.

Will Smith's moves quickly. After Ronan interviewed director Harold Zwat twice, he had initial contact with Sony Columbia Pictures on the remake of "Dragon Hard Boy".

Because he is working with Sony Columbia Pictures to shoot "Superman Hancock" and has had many collaborations before, Will Smith did not spend much effort, so he motivated senior executives of Sony Columbia Pictures to buy the remake of "Dragon Hard Boy" for $5 million.

Like most fathers in this world, Will Smith is really generous in treating his children.

Will Smith received the authorization and issued a secondary authorization for Relativity Entertainment. Shahai Entertainment no longer has to consider copyright issues.

The project also received a green light from Ronan and Shahai Entertainment, with a production budget of $20 million.

Jack Chen also responded, expressing his interest in this project.

Shahai Entertainment submitted an application for on-site shooting of the crew to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The China Film Group and other companies opposite were also very interested in this project.

Today, the only film industry on the other side of the Pacific Ocean can truly enter the international market is actually the only films related to "Kung Fu".

Even if other films win awards at international film festivals, most of them will lose money and gain publicity.

Movies on the other side of the Pacific want to gain a certain share in the international market, and they have a long way to go. They cannot be changed by one person or even a generation.

Surviving under the squeeze of Hollywood movies can be said to be the theme of today's global film market.

Nowadays, the gradual disappearance of the golden years of Hollywood independent films is the further global expansion of Hollywood high-concept blockbusters.

Popcorn movies produced in Hollywood assembled lines not only swallow up the local film share in the film markets of various countries, but also pose a huge threat to other types of movies.

Looking around the world, in today's global film market, except for India, which can survive alone, other countries are either completely occupied by Hollywood blockbusters, or they can only maintain it as hard as island countries and Europe. If it is better, they are comparable in their own market.

But one thing cannot be denied. From the perspective of risk control of market behavior alone, Hollywood movies are obviously more profitable than the film industry in other countries.

Even in a relatively low market period in September, there are still many movies in Hollywood that can achieve box office success.

For example, "Hunting Season", which Sony Columbia Pictures released in early September, had a box office of nearly $25 million in North America on its first weekend.

There is also a new film released by Embassy Films, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment.

"Death is Coming 4" was released on the second weekend in September. This super patterned horror film has now arrived in its fourth installment.

This is also the last film of James Huang collaborating with Relativity Entertainment.

After being frustrated in directing "The Ending of the Universe" and returning to the "Death is Coming" series and directing the third and fourth parts in succession, James Huang was tired of "Death is Coming" which could only develop in a single mode. After completely contracting with the director of Relativity Entertainment, he was ready to break out of the horror type and continue his pursuit in other aspects.

The director who has a tireless pursuit of the spirit is worthy of praise, and Ronan has no reason to hinder James Huang's choice.

Like previous directors such as Gilmore Del Toro and Gore Vipensky, Relativity Entertainment will still end the cooperation between the two sides in a very peaceful way.

Before leaving, James Huang still created huge commercial benefits for Relativity Entertainment.

The video is a carnival of dismantling corpses, and the gimmick is a ridiculous way of death of limbs flying around.

"The God of Death 4" won a box office of $27.88 million in 3,412 theaters in the three days of the painting weekend in North America.

Although this series is becoming more and more serious, it has a large number of hard-core supporters who can always drive the box office of the sequel with great enthusiasm for watching movies.

The "Death is Coming" series has such a good audience, of course it is impossible to stop there, and we must continue filming.
Chapter completed!
