Under the offensive of double salary, under the personal supervision of Wang Xiaohu, the filming progress of "Home Alone" can be said to have created the fastest speed in Hollywood history, and it was planned to shoot the mass scene in three days, but it actually took less than two days, those American actors touched the wallets on their waists and left the crew with a satisfied and tired smile. 【】

After that, there are very few actors, to be exact, there are only 3 actors, that is, the plot of Kevin and two stupid thieves fighting wits in a big house.

Since all the preparations were done sufficiently, the shooting was also very smooth, and the shooting was carried out in an orderly manner according to the six major scenes of the outdoor, basement, staircase, kitchen, back door, and second floor.

The whole play is dressed up like a children's amusement park, Li Guohao will carry a toy shotgun at the back door for a while, watch a boring TV series on the bed for a while, and stand at the top of the stairs to install a three-shot bow and crossbow mechanism for a while

It can be said that the whole crew maintained a happy mood of laughter during the following filming process, the reason is very simple, on the one hand, the two stupid thieves, one tall and one short, are very skillful, and the stupid thief with gold teeth is Boogis who plays Pori (slaughterhouse worker, actress Adrian's brother, Rocky's brother-in-law) in "Rocky". Medis plays the role, and the tall thief is played by a British actor from Cross.

Buges can be regarded as having a bad guy addiction this time, after all, in "Rocky", he has always wanted to play the role of the boss who collects protection money, and now he has the role of being a bad guy, and he should sign up for it. Of course, the premise is that he has to toss back and forth between the two sets of "Rocky" and "Home Alone", but fortunately, the two crews are not far apart.

On the other hand, Li Guohao is overly involved in the performance, he has completely regarded filming as a game, in Wang Xiaohu's words: children at this age have the psychology of growing up one day earlier, and when their parents are not at home, it is the children's world. He asked Li Guohao to let go of his courage to toss, how to play cool, how to play. Now Li Guohao got the sword of Shang Fang, he not only cleaned up the two stupid thieves in the play, but even tricked the crew outside the play. And because of his ungrateful devotion, he did not follow the lines of the script many times, resulting in a lot of laughter.

In normal times, Wang Xiaohu would definitely put on a straight face and reprimand, but this time he didn't. "This is a comedy, and it's a comedy on the Christmas schedule, we have to keep this happy mood until the end of shooting, and I will re-edit these NG films."

At the same time as the filming of the film, Wang Xiaohu was also busy filming MTV, yes, this is the second MTV that he was reborn to invest in filming, and the track is "Dangerous" - Michael. Jackson's song to fame. One might think that it was a bit inappropriate to have a teenage Michael sing this song at the end of '73, but Wang Xiaohu didn't think so, and he needed to use "Dangerous" as an episode to "Home Alone".

Yes, his revised ending of Home Alone goes like this: Kevin was bored at home and saw on TV that there was a Jackson Five Brothers concert on Christmas, and when the family returned home from Hong Kong, the whole family would rush to the theater to watch the Jackson Five Brothers concert.

The trailer about the concert on TV is an excerpt from the MTV of "Dangerous", because this MTV was filmed more than ten years earlier than in history, Wang Xiaohu had to consider using the appeal of the five Jackson brothers, with Michael as the lead singer, showing off space steps and mechanical dances, and the other four brothers playing street dance on the side

Wang Xiaohu did this completely to maximize the publicity of "Home Alone", and when he told Michael about this proposal, Michael was excited for a long time. "Oh God, Mr. Tiger, you've made a great suggestion, and in fact our father is considering a concert for Christmas, so it looks like we can talk about the process in detail."

In this way, this MTV, which seems to be somewhat related to the theme of the movie, is also being produced at the same time.

"Trailer, I need the idea for the trailer!" Wang Xiaohu tugged at his hair and thought about the idea of the trailer, it was already mid-December, less than half a month before Christmas, and there was still one scene in "Home Alone" to be filmed, Wang Xiaohu rarely took a free time to conceive of publicity.

Zhao Yazhi held her cheeks and looked at her husband with a sad brow, and said a little unbearably: "Ah Hu, I have an immature idea. ”

Except for the first time when she and Wang Xiaohu filmed "Righteous Heroes" and proposed to revise the script, Zhao Yazhi rarely put forward opinions during filming, so Wang Xiaohu was interested all of a sudden, looked at her and said, "Let's hear it." ”

"Actually, you don't have to worry about losing to "The Exorcist" at the box office." Zhao Yazhi frowned slightly and said: "Because you said that "The Exorcist" is a horror movie, and it seems a little out of place to choose to release it at Christmas, and our "Home Alone" is completely a family comedy, if the two are released at the same time, the audience's reaction is self-evident." ”

"First of all, the main theme of our film is Christmas, which means that we have an advantage in terms of time, and Li Guohao is the son of Brother Xiaolong, which is also a gimmick that can be used for publicity, and you also let the five Jackson brothers make cameos, in this aspect, people and we also have an advantage. Philadelphia is your main battlefield, and after three films, Hollywood theater bosses know that your films are popular, and now 800 theaters have agreed to release our films on a large scale. The more Zhao Yazhi spoke, the more she felt it, and said excitedly with a small face: "Look, the time and place are favorable, and we are all occupied, do we still have any hope of not winning?" ”

"The lady's analysis is very reasonable." Wang Xiaohu thought that it was really like this, and said that the authorities were obsessed with bystanders, which was right, "Let's talk about how we make a trailer." ”

"Hmm" Zhao Yazhi pondered for a moment and said: "I think about it this way, Christmas in the West is to celebrate the birth of Jesus, Santa Claus gives gifts, and we also edited a short video around this theme in combination with the content of the film: an eight-year-old child was forgotten by the adults at home, alone in a big empty house, and there are two Jiangyang thieves on the street, how dangerous it is for people to make people feel this melody alone."

"Yes, now it's time to play the song 'Dangerous' and move on." Wang Xiaohu nodded and encouraged.

Zhao Yazhi saw that her husband affirmed her thoughts, and her heart suddenly felt happy, and her self-confidence strengthened a little. "Then we focused on Kevin's parents, their anxious appearance, the picture of returning home by all means, several scenes in series, the suspense of this film aroused the audience's curiosity, didn't you say that Americans advocate the supremacy of family values, my idea is to move them with affection."

"Haha, lady, your idea is amazing!" Wang Xiaohu thought about it after hearing this, then slapped his thigh and jumped up and shouted: "I'm going to arrange someone to edit, lady, turn around and let me love you well." ”

"Nasty!" Zhao Yazhi scolded with a smile and beat Wang Xiaohu's chest, who made that guy's eyes too silvery, and he couldn't tell what method he would use to make himself "tired" at night.

On the basis of Zhao Yazhi's creativity, Wang Xiaohu added some gimmicks to the film, such as making the picture of the five Jackson brothers clear and flashing, and added a sentence at the end of the trailer: Do you want to see the live performance of the five Jackson brothers? Come to the theater on December 25th!

On the last day of filming, Linda and Li Xiangning accompanied by Abdul-Jabbar went to the crew to visit the class, and after learning that Li Guohao was going to star in "Home Alone", Linda has always wanted to visit the class, but she was worried about affecting the filming progress of the film, so she chose to come over on the last day after contacting.

Linda saw her son who was busy on the set, and was a little moved to tears, and said to Zhao Yazhi beside her: "Angela, Brand is as involved as Bruce when filming, and their father and son are really similar." ”

"He's a big kid already." Zhao Yazhi nodded and said: "When filming, no matter how tired he was, he didn't give up his daily training plan with Ah Hu, even if he was bitter, he didn't complain, since Brother Xiaolong died, he grew up." ”

Linda looked at Li Guohao and said with relief: "Yes, this is thanks to you and Tiger for taking care of him, without you, he may become a bad boy in Seattle." ”

"That's what we're supposed to do." Zhao Yazhi said with emotion: "What's more, there is one more member in the family, and we are also a lot happier." ”

"Wow, do you plan to have a baby when you want to?" Linda asked in a very small voice.

Zhao Yazhi smiled and said: "Although Ah Hu has mentioned it many times, I don't have this idea at the moment, wait a few more years, we are still young after all." ”

"So you've been taking," Linda almost screamed, covering her mouth.

Zhao Yazhi nodded and said, "Well, I don't want to put too much pressure on Ah Hu, not to mention that our current life is relatively happy, and I am very content." Two married women whispered in the corner of the set

On the set, Wang Xiaohu waved his right arm vigorously: "cut!" Then he raised the loudspeaker and said: "Guys, we have finally finished filming, Lao Wang, Lao Xie, Xiao Li, you hurry up and pack your things, Brandon you have to change into a down jacket, otherwise you will catch a cold, others help clean up, we will go to the hotel now to have a good rub and celebrate the completion of our crew!" ”
