Chapter 171 Spider-Man Meets Oriental Kung Fu

Su Ran’s face darkened when he heard this. He was silent for a moment, then said to Xiao Wang:”Go, make arrangements. I need to go to Sony Pictures in person.”

Xiao Wang nodded and immediately went to arrange the itinerary.

Three days later, Los Angeles, Sony Pictures headquarters.

Su Ran sat in the conference room, facing several senior executives of Sony Pictures, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.

Tom Rothman, CEO of Sony Pictures, said:”Mr. Su, first of all, I want to say that we recognize your talent very much.”

“《The success of”Iron Man” is the best proof.”

Su Ran nodded slightly and said nothing.

Tom continued:”But Spider-Man is one of our most important IPs.”

“We need to consider every detail carefully. Although you have shown amazing talent in”Iron Man”, your experience is still limited after all….”

Su Ran interrupted him:”Mr. Tom, I understand your concerns.”

“But have you ever thought that it is precisely because of my uniqueness that I can bring a new interpretation to Spider-Man?”

His eyes sparkled with confidence.

“A director from the East interprets this classic role from a brand new perspective”

“Isn’t this an exciting thing?”

Tom and several other senior executives looked at each other, as if they were touched by Su Ran’s words.

Su Ran pressed on:”Besides, don’t forget that Longguo is now the second largest film market in the world.”

“If I direct the film, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the box office in Dragon Country.”

These words obviously touched the hearts of Sony’s top executives.

They exchanged glances, and then Tom said,”Mr. Su, you are right.”

“How about this, we have three months”

“If you can come up with a satisfactory plan within three months, then this project will be handed over to you.”

Su Ran smiled slightly:”Three months? No need”

“Give me a week, and I promise to surprise you.”

One week later, in the Sony Pictures conference room,

Su Ran stood in front of the projector, presenting his”The Amazing Spider-Man” plan to Sony’s senior executives.

“In my imagination, Spider-Man is not only a superhero, but also an ordinary young man who is growing up.”Su Ran talked freely,

“We will explore in depth the difficulties he faced, the inner conflicts, and how he gradually grew into a true hero.”

As Su Ran explained, various concept drawings and storyboards flashed on the screen.

Every frame was full of creativity, which amazed everyone present.

“As for the action scenes, we will incorporate more oriental elements.”

Su Ran continued,”Imagine Spider-Man shuttling between skyscrapers while performing some kung fu moves. That scene must be very cool!”

Tom Rothman nodded repeatedly, his eyes flashing with excitement.

“Finally, about casting.”Su Ran paused for a moment and said,”I have a bold idea.”

“I hope to find an Asian actor to play Peter Parker.”

As soon as this sentence came out, the conference room exploded.

“What? Asian Spider-Man?” one executive exclaimed

“this…Isn’t this too risky?”Another senior executive also expressed his concerns.

However, Tom seemed to be thinking about it.

He was silent for a while, and then he said:”Actually, this idea is very interesting.”

“Think about it, if we really did this, it would definitely attract a huge amount of attention.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“Moreover, this is also in line with the current trend of diversification.

Seeing Tom’s attitude, others no longer objected.

Su Ran saw this and struck while the iron was hot:”Yes, this is not only an adventure, but also an innovation. I believe that such a Spider-Man will definitely bring a brand new experience to the audience.”

After two hours of discussion, Sony Pictures finally made a decision: to agree to Su Ran’s directing of”The Amazing Spider-Man” and adopt his ideas.

When the news spread, the whole of Hollywood was shocked.

“Su Ran is going to shoot an Asian version of Spider-Man? This is too crazy!”

“I have to say, this idea is very creative. I can’t wait to see the finished film!”

“Sony is betting on Su Ran. I hope it doesn’t fail.

However, just when everyone was discussing the news, Su Ran encountered an unexpected trouble.

That day, Su Ran was checking the casting information in the office.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

“Hello, Director Su.” The anxious voice of agent Xiao Li came from the other end of the phone,”Something happened!”

Su Ran frowned:”What’s wrong?”

Xiao Li’s voice revealed a hint of panic:”Director Su, the news about Peter Parker being an Asian Spider-Man was leaked by the media, and now the whole Internet is in an uproar!” Su

Ran frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind, he asked in a deep voice:”How was the news leaked?”

“The details are still under investigation, but it seems that someone inside Sony may have leaked the information on purpose.”Li answered quickly, with a hint of anger in his tone.

Su Ran sighed. He had expected that this decision would cause an uproar, but he didn’t expect the news to be exposed so quickly.

He stood up and walked to the French window, overlooking the busy streets of Los Angeles.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his handsome face, reflecting his determined eyes.

“What is the outside world’s reaction now?” Su Ran asked calmly.[]

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, but finally answered truthfully:”The response was very intense, with both support and opposition.”

“Those who support it think it is a bold attempt and can bring a new interpretation to Spider-Man, but those who oppose it think it is a blasphemy to the classic image and are worried that it will affect the box office of the movie.”

Su Ran’s mouth corners slightly raised, and a glimmer of confidence flashed in his eyes:”This has just begun, and it has attracted so much attention. It seems that our decision is correct.”

He turned around and looked at Xiao Li firmly:”Don’t pay attention to those doubts, just proceed as planned.”

“I believe that when the movie is released, all the controversy will disappear.”

Xiao Li was infected by Su Ran’s confidence and nodded repeatedly:”Yes, Director Su, I will arrange it now.”

The sun shone through the French windows, casting mottled light and shadows on the floor.

Su Ran looked out the window, his eyes gradually firmed up.

He wanted to prove himself with his strength and defeat those doubting voices with better works.

Thinking of this, Su Ran picked up a pen and quickly sketched on the white paper.

The pen tip flew, and ideas emerged in his mind like a spring: about the setting of Asian Spider-Man, about the theme of the story, about the innovation of visual effects. He wanted to make this”The Amazing Spider-Man” a classic with his name engraved on it.

Use inspiration and sweat to prove to the world the extraordinary talent of a Chinese director.
