Chapter 337 "Home Alone" Starts Up

Xiehe Company is busy in November. Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao's "Miscellaneous Boys" has begun to shoot, while Yuan Heping and Jackie Chan have made two films in half a year, and are currently in the rest period, so Yuan Heping was transferred to In Macau, I went to help Xu Guanwen and Wu Yusen film "Ghost Horse Twin Stars".

Liu Jialiang's TV series "Fist of Fury" was stranded again because of the filming of "God Fighting". Wang Xiaohu, who couldn't bear it, decided not to waste time this time. Anyway, he has filmed more than 20 episodes. "The script of "is completely perfect, these days I have nothing to do, I just stay at home and take lessons on how to film with Li Guohao.

Although Li Guohao is only eight and a half years old, he has a natural love for making movies. For the role of Kevin in the play, he likes it very much. In his words: "This will be a movie that allows me to do whatever I want. I believe After watching it, many children will adore me!"

Children's words are often the most direct and naive. In Xiao Guohao's mind, this film was only made to make children of the same age worship him. "Don't worry, I will send you to St. Francis College after the Chinese New Year. You are already past the age of school. Only school is the most suitable place for you."

This year, because of Brother Xiaolong's death, Linda has been busy with the funeral. A widow with two children is exhausting enough, so although Li Guohao is eight and a half years old, he did not go to school.

"The school my father used to go to!" Li Guohao jumped up excitedly and put his arms around Wang Xiaohu's neck and said, "Papa Tiger, I like St. Francis Xavier's College very much, because that is the place where my father once fought!"

"Hehe, of course, you will meet new friends there, and Xingzi and Yanzi will take care of you, so you won't be lonely." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Then now, we should start "Home Alone" filming plan."

The original version of "Home Alone" was about Kevin's parents and uncle's family going to Paris, France for Christmas. After Wang Xiaohu thought about it, he should go to Hong Kong for the holiday. After all, this is a script written by himself, and he can use his power for personal gain. The concept was changed secretly, on the one hand, because Xiehe Company mainly develops in Hong Kong, and tomorrow he can shoot some scenes at the Hong Kong airport.

On the other hand, Wang Xiaohu needs to use such small details to let Americans see the prosperity and development of Hong Kong.Let Americans have a general impression of Hong Kong, which is very important for promoting Hong Kong movies.

And the shooting of this film will not waste too much time, because the cast is very simple, except for Kevin and two wretched thieves, Kevin's parents and other extras can be caught in Hollywood casually.Because the focus is not on the supporting roles, but on the story of Kevin and the thieves fighting wits and courage, for Wang Xiaohu, designing various organs in Kevin's house is the first thing to be done.

Fortunately, when the script and blueprints were completed, he photocopied a copy and sent it to Winterdur in Los Angeles by air. Winterdur will start selecting actors according to the requirements of the script. As for the sets and mechanism props, he can directly entrust the queen prop master Wang Jiaxin was in charge, and it happened to take this opportunity to check what new knowledge Lao Wan had learned from Industrial Light & Magic.

The main shooting location, Wang Xiaohu decided to be in Philadelphia. At this time, the winter in Philadelphia is very snowy. Before Christmas, there will be a strong festive atmosphere. It would be perfect to shoot "Home Alone" there.In fact, this is Wang Xiaohu's laziness, because he is only familiar with the United States in Los Angeles and Philadelphia, and Philadelphia is Wang Xiaohu's blessed land. "Rocky II" is also being filmed very intensively. The mayor of Philadelphia will definitely welcome Wang Xiaohu to visit.

After arranging all this, Wang Xiaohu started the opening ceremony of "Home Alone", still in a low-key manner. He took three days to film several scenic spots in Hong Kong, and waited for Winterdur to bring all the actors over. Back and forth After about ten days of tossing, the filming of the Hong Kong part was considered to be over, so Wang Xiaohu, Zhao Yazhi, Li Guohao and others flew back to Los Angeles, where the most critical filming took place.

"Tiger, let me tell you some good news." Winterdur said with a smile on the plane: "Do you still remember Bill Conti?"

"Of course I remember. Does he have new works coming out?" "Gonna-Fly-Now" made Bill Conti a blockbuster. How could Wang Xiaohu forget that well-dressed musician.

Winterdur shook his head and said, "No, he doesn't have any new works. When he heard that I was looking for a band actor, he came to me personally and recommended me a band."

In "Home Alone", there is a scene described like this: Kevin's mother tried various methods at the airport to exchange for a ticket back home that day, but all failed. In the end, a member of the band was very moved after hearing what happened to her. , So I drove her back home. During the trip, the band played pretty good music to pass the time.

After Wang Xiaohu revised the plot, he felt that this part was inappropriate, because everyone knew that he had to take a plane from Hong Kong to the United States, but since this was a movie, he did not clearly tell the audience where Kevin’s home was, so he drove back from Hong Kong Kevin's family also seemed indifferent, after all, this is a movie, and it's a comedy movie, as long as everyone laughs after watching the movie, what about those so-called bugs?

"The leader of the band is Mena Ferguson, the player of "Gonna-Fly-Now", an old friend of Bill Conti."

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "It would be great if they join us!"

"Yes, Ferguson is very grateful to you for giving them the opportunity to become famous, so I am happy to help you this time." Winterdur said with a smile: "Boss, you are now a big celebrity in Hollywood. Many actors want to Acting in your film, you don’t know that our auditions for actors are very popular.”

"Just don't forget that there are black actors!" Wang Xiaohu shrugged and said, "I don't want to make the same mistake twice."

In fact, Wang Xiaohu asked for very few actors this time, and the actors present were all very ordinary. As for the black people in the film, he had already planned it out. Doesn’t Kevin often watch TV at home? A cameo by the Jackson [-], Michael recording a few of their famous songs, or Michael moonwalking, all of these will become the highlights of the film.Of course, such an arrangement is beyond what Winterdur can accomplish. Wang Xiaohu has already decided to talk to Michael after arriving in Los Angeles.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Wang Xiaohu found Michael Jackson directly after a short rest. The two "master and apprentice" met each other very cordially, "Hey, Michael, how are you doing recently?"

"Mr. Tiger, I'm glad to see you again. Come and see my moon walk." Michael Jackson said and did a few combinations of mechanical dance and space walk, which made Wang Xiaohu amazed and clapped his hands He praised: "Michael, you are a dancing genius. You have mastered it in just a few months, even better than me."

Michael Jackson shrugged, "But I never got the hang of Capola."

"That thing is not suitable for you, you should concentrate on studying the dance that suits your style." Wang Xiaohu pulled him to sit down and said, "I am here this time to invite you."

Wang Xiaohu explained his intention in the future. Michael Jackson thought for a while after hearing this and said, "Mr. Tiger, you shouldn't use the word request, you should say: Michael, come here, I need you to show your face for a movie. Oh God, If you say that, I will be very excited, because I can finally do something for you, teacher."

Wang Xiaohu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Well, it seems that your schedule is fine, so the matter has been decided. As a thank you, here are two songs, but there is only a rough outline. You also know that I am not good at English songs , the rest needs to be done by yourself, I don’t think it will be difficult for you.”

So "Dangerous" and "beat-it", two masterpieces originally belonging to MJ, were returned to MJ in this way.

The crew of "Home Alone" felt that Philadelphia was warmly welcomed by hundreds of Philadelphia citizens. As a hero of Philadelphia, Stallone stood at the forefront of the citizens, and beside him was the mayor of Philadelphia. Stallone was excited when he got off the plane Wanting to hug the young boss, but remembering his strange temper, he whispered something to the mayor, then ran over and held Wang Xiaohu's hand tightly and said, "Boss, Philadelphia welcomes you!"

This line made Wang Xiaohu stunned. During the 08 BJ Olympic Games, the phrase "BJ welcomes you" was not only used as a slogan plastered all over the streets and alleys of BJ City, but also wrote a catchy song of the same name for it.Hearing this sentence at first, Wang Xiaohu had a familiar feeling. "How did the filming go?"

"It's going very well so far, and the city government of Philadelphia has given us great convenience." After speaking, Stallone introduced the mayor of Philadelphia to Wang Xiaohu.

"Tiger, on behalf of all the citizens of Philadelphia, I welcome you. I am very glad that you came to Philadelphia to film again. Our theaters in Philadelphia have fully prepared for the Christmas schedule, and only your films will be released at that time!"

"Oh God, I don't know how to describe my excitement, thank you so much!" Wang Xiaohu excitedly shook the mayor's hand. It seems that Philadelphia is really his blessed land. With more than 300 movie theaters in Philadelphia, I believe this year's two films should have a good harvest.

Sitting in the car, Wang Xiaohu looked at the streets of Philadelphia. When passing by a movie theater, he suddenly saw a half-torn movie poster with the words "The -Exorcist" clearly written on it. Wang Xiaohu narrowed his eyes. Eyes, I finally remembered a blockbuster movie "The Exorcist" in 73 in my mind.
