“cult！”

The choir in the church collectively stopped, and continued to stand there at the signal of the assistant director, watching Kang Jianfei walk towards the little actor in this film.

Kang Jianfei was a little depressed and yelled at the little actor Cindy? Frida shrugged, then beckoned Guan Zhilin over and said, "You tell this stinky boy, let him focus on acting, don't always forget his lines!" ”

Guan Zhilin smiled at Kang Jianfei, sat next to the little boy and said, "Cindy, what were you thinking just now?" ”

The child opened his mouth and yawned, "I've been shooting all day today, and I want to sleep." ”

"Will you hold on a little longer?" Guan Zhilin smiled like a big sister next door, "When the movie is finished, my sister will take you to something delicious." ”

"Okay." The little boy said without jīng.

And by Kang Jianfei's side, Cindy? Frida's mother was yelling at Kang Jianfei: "You vampire, Cindy has been working eight hours today, and he is still a nine-year-old child!" ”

Kang Jianfei didn't understand what she was saying at all, but he didn't need to understand what she meant, and said, "Madam, I have promised to pay you 18,000 US dollars, your son is just a newcomer who has filmed a few children's clothing advertisements, and I have paid enough overtime." ”

Didn't wait for the translator to speak, Cindy? Frida's mother shouted, "Shet, my son needs sleep!" ”

After listening to the translation, Kang Jianfei sighed: "Okay, your son needs to sleep, but I think you need more US dollars, and I will raise the salary to 25,000 for you, OK?" ”

"No, at least 30,000!" The little boy's mother held out three fingers.

Kang Jian Feitou Dao: "That's decided, this is the last price, don't raise the price again!" ”

Got the kid **, Kang Jianfei asked the staff to bring in a basin of cold water, let Cindy? Frida washed her face with cold water and began to shoot when she sobered up.

Hollywood makes movies on weekends, just like office workers. This past weekend, Kang Jianfei once again bleed a handful of money in order to "persuade" a group of Yankees in the crew to work overtime.

The camera is set up to shoot again, and the choir continues to sing under the guidance of the conductor while Cindy and Gaia, who plays the role of the old man shoveling snow, begin to talk.

Some minor shots Kang Jianfei can make do, but the details of the American theme such as family affection and family must be jīng.

The reason why the first part of "Home Alone" can get more than 280 million North American box office and more than 470 million global box office cannot be as simple as a little ghost setting up an organ at home to overturn two stupid thieves.

The most successful thing about "Home Alone 1" is its discussion of family and affection, as well as its real attention to children and children. These are not only in line with the mainstream concept of Americans, but also common in the world. The later parts of "Home Alone" are much inferior in this regard, so the box office is far inferior to the first one.

It can be said that "Home Alone 1" is a god film, and the subsequent sequels can only be regarded as good comedies and excellent children's movies.

This is also the reason why Kang Jianfei went to the United States to film "Home Alone", instead of directly adapting it into the Hong Kong version. The original film is a film with a very rigorous structure and a very perfect rhythm, and adapting it will only make it nondescript, and the American audience will definitely have a gap when watching a warm Hong Kong film, and the box office will be greatly reduced.

The current church scene is the most critical and most impressive place in the whole movie, and Kang Jianfei, who rushed to shoot at speed, spent two days shooting. And the previous scenes only took three days together.

As soon as the church scene is filmed, the progress of the subsequent scenes will be faster.

Whether it is the United States or Hong Kong, the details of filming comedy need to be polished slowly. For example, those stupid thieves who are disgraced by the organs, if they are replaced by another director, it will take ten days and half a month to study how to set up the organs and ponder the jokes. However, Kang Jianfei had already made up his mind, and directly commanded the field affairs to be arranged according to the plan, and it was all done in half an hour. The whole scene only took half a day to film, and a lot of time was wasted because of makeup.

The second director team in charge of Tang Shuxuan also led the team back soon, and then the two directors combined two into one to shoot the last family scene.

From the start of the movie to the completion of the film, Kang Jianfei only took seven and a half days to shoot "Home Alone".

After returning to Hollywood, Kang Jianfei rented the venue of a second-rate film company for post-production. He directly followed the memory and storyboard script, and with the help of Tang Shuxuan and the two scene notes, it only took six hours to edit out the **, which scared Tang Shuxuan so quickly.

The soundtrack of the movie relied on Kang Jianfei's scattered memories, plus Lu Guanting's help, and it had been recorded in Hong Kong as early as Hong Kong. Although some details are different from the original film, the general feeling is not much different.

Only Kang Jianfei, who is wonderful, will record the soundtrack before the movie starts, not only the large soundtrack, but also those small sound effects. Others can't imitate it if they want to, because they can't be like Kang Jianfei, who already has a complete film in their minds before the movie starts.

By the time Kang Jianfei finished the soundtrack and subtitles, it took only 11 days in total, including the crew's time spent running back and forth between California and Massachusetts.

As for the dialogue dubbing or something, of course Kang Jianfei will not be full enough to re-dub, maybe "Home Alone" can still win an Oscar. The dialogue is also part of the performance, and if you use dubbing instead of the original soundtrack, you are not eligible for the Oscar.

Like "Farewell My Concubine" failed to compete for the Oscar, many Chinese people think that the Oscars are shady, but in fact, they lost the qualification to win the award just because "Farewell My Concubine" concealed the dubbing.

On the night when the movie was made, Tang Shuxuan watched "Home Alone" over and over again. Except for some minor details, the rest is perfect, including the shots she led the team to shoot, and the footage shot by Kang Jianfei is also very natural and smooth.

There are also many fast food movies in Hong Kong that directors rushed out within a few days, but those movies never have the profound connotation of "Home Alone".

"Such a film with a distinct theme and smooth rhythm has a chance to win an award at the Oscars, and it only took 11 days to make!" When Tang Shuxuan watched it for the fifth time, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, and she felt that her mind was messy, and she felt that there was a problem with her cognition of the world.

When Kang Jianfei took the film and went to find Xiao Alan again? At the time of Ryder, the time was only December 2, and "The Voice of China" had not even started broadcasting in Hong Kong.

Kang Jianfei didn't see Xiao Alan this time? Ryder, but a man named Henry? He was received by the head of the distribution department of Chels.

"Hello, Mr. Kang, "Royal Sister 2" has begun to be promoted, I think it will get a good box office this time." Henry? Chels held Kang Jianfei's hand and said, because of the big sale of the previous "Royal Senior Sister", he was quite polite to Kang Jianfei. If it were to be replaced by other directors in Hong Kong, I am afraid that it would not be so easy to speak.

Kang Jianfei patted the several large stacks of plastic discs he brought, and said with a smile: "Is Mr. Chels interested in watching this film again?" ”

Henry? Chels shrugged and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I have some time today. ”

Henry? Chels took Kang Jianfei to a screening room and asked as the projectionist was preparing, "What type of movie is this?" ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "Warm comedy." ”

"Oh," Henry? Chels laughed, "I thought it was a kung fu movie or an urban action movie." ”

"Just look at it." Kang Jianfei said confidently.

Indeed, just look at it, Henry? Chels only saw half of it, and knew that this was a good film with great potential. Later, the theme of family affection became more and more obvious, Henry? Chels was finally moved, and he naturally knew what elements he needed for blockbuster movies. Home Alone is a movie that can definitely cause a sensation if it works properly.

Wait until you've finished watching the movie, Henry? Chels sighed and said, "Mr. Kang, why didn't you take out this movie earlier?" ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "Because I just finished filming." ”

Henry? Chels lamented: "You should have finished filming earlier, the film is perfect for Christmas screenings." But now it's December 2, and there are more than 20 days left before Christmas, and the film scheduling plans of the major theaters have been formulated, and I don't have time to help you release it. ”

Kang Jianfei said: "I can't help it, I said hello to you **OSS before the start of filming, but unfortunately he asked me to see a doctor jīng." ”

Henry? Chels paced back and forth, suddenly stopped and asked, "Mr. Kang, how about saving this movie for next Christmas?" I'm going to get the best time for you. ”

Kang Jianfei smiled: "But I'm waiting for the money to be used urgently." ”

Henry? Chels said: "Then I can't help it." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "The film scheduling plan of the theater chain is not static, there must be room to deal with various situations, and it is completely possible to move some screens to "Home Alone". ”

Henry? Chels explained: "Mr. Kang, that would be too bad. If it is released again next Christmas, I can guarantee you more than 1,000 screens, and "Home Alone" is worth it completely. But not this year, even if some screens can be moved, it will definitely not exceed 300 yuan, and the box office will be greatly reduced. ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "It will be released a few days before Christmas, if the box office response is good, you can add a screen, and it will be a good two days before Christmas." ”

Henry? Chels smiled bitterly: "Of course that's okay, but it will be difficult for the distributor and the theater side to do it." ”

Kang Jianfei knocked on Erlang's leg and said: "All difficulties are not difficulties in the face of US dollars, I believe that those theater operators are happy to make a little more box office." ”

Henry? Chels pondered for a moment, then suddenly walked out of the screening room and shouted at his assistant, "Landa, call Robert from AMC Cinema Line, Kim from Cinemark Cinema Line, and Mr. Keith from MTI Cinema Line immediately...... Let's just say that I have a good movie in my hand, and I will hold a trial meeting this afternoon, so they must come! ”)
