Chapter 339 Linda visits the class
Under the attack of double salary and under the personal supervision of Wang Xiaohu, the shooting progress of "Home Alone" can be said to have created the fastest speed in Hollywood history. 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 around their waists, and left the set with satisfied and tired smiles.

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

Since all the preparatory work was sufficient, the shooting went very smoothly, and the shooting was carried out in an orderly manner according to six major scenes including outdoor, basement, stairs, kitchen, back door, and second floor.

The whole crew was dressed up like a children's amusement park. For a while, Li Guohao was carrying a toy shotgun to shoot coldly at the back door, for a while he was lying on the bed watching boring TV dramas, and for a while he was standing on the stairs installing a three-shot crossbow mechanism
It can be said that the whole crew maintained a happy mood of laughing and laughing during the next filming process. In "Rocky", Bugis Medis played the role of Polly (the slaughterhouse worker, the elder brother of the actress Adrian, and the brother-in-law of Rocky), and the tall dumb thief was played by a British actor from Close of.

This time Bugis can be regarded as having a bad guy addiction. After all, in "Rocky", he has always wanted to play the role of the boss who collects protection fees. Now that he has the role of being a bad guy, he signed 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". Fortunately, the distance between the two sets is not too far.

On the other hand, Li Guohao is too involved in acting. He has completely regarded filming as a game. In Wang Xiaohu's words: Children in this age group have the mentality of growing up one day earlier. When their parents are not at home, they are the children. world.He asked Li Guohao to let go of his courage to toss, how to play is fun, how to play how to get H.Now Li Guohao got Shang Fang's sword. He not only dealt with the two stupid thieves in the scene, but also tricked the crew outside the scene.And because of his unrestrained devotion, he did not follow the lines of the script to dialogue many times, resulting in a lot of NG parts.

Normally, Wang Xiaohu would definitely scold him with a straight face, but this time he didn't. "This is a comedy, and it's still a comedy in the Christmas schedule. We must maintain this happy mood until the end of the shooting. I will re-edit and use these NG films."

At the same time as filming, Wang Xiaohu was also busy shooting MTV. Yes, this was the second MTV he invested in after his rebirth, and the track was "Dangerous" - Michael Jackson's famous song.Some people may think that it is inappropriate to let the teenage Michael sing this song at the end of 73, but Wang Xiaohu doesn't think so, he needs to use "Dangerous" as the episode of "Home Alone".

Yes, the ending of his modified "Home Alone" is like this: When Kevin was bored at home, he saw on TV that there would be a concert by the Jackson Five brothers for Christmas. Everyone will rush to the theater to enjoy the concert of the Jackson [-] brothers.

The preview about the concert that was broadcast on TV is an excerpt from the MTV of "Dangerous". Since the filming of this MTV was more than ten years earlier than in history, Wang Xiaohu had to consider using the appeal of the Jackson Five brothers, with Michael as the lead singer. , a big show of moonwalk and mechanical dance, and the other four brothers were playing street dance.
Wang Xiaohu did this entirely to maximize the publicity of "Home Alone". When he mentioned this proposal to Michael, Michael was excited for a long time. "Oh my God, Mr. Tiger, you really made a great suggestion. In fact, our father is also thinking about holding a concert at Christmas. It seems that we can discuss the process in detail."

In this way, this MTV song, 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 of ​​the trailer!" Wang Xiaohu pulled his hair and thought about the idea of ​​the trailer. It was already mid-December, less than half a month before Christmas, and "Home Alone" still had a month to go. The filming of a scene is about to be finished, and Wang Xiaohu rarely finds time to conceive of promotional matters.

Zhao Yazhi looked at her husband frowning with her cheeks on her cheeks, and said with some embarrassment: "Ahu, I have an immature idea."

Except for the first time she and Wang Xiaohu filmed "The Righteous Man" and proposed to modify the script, Zhao Yazhi rarely raised opinions during the filming, so Wang Xiaohu suddenly became interested, looked at her and said, "Let's listen."

"Actually, you don't have to worry about losing to "The Exorcist" at the box office." Zhao Yazhi frowned slightly and organized her words, "Because you said that "The Exorcist" is a horror movie, and you chose to release it on Christmas." It would be a bit of an inopportune time to release it, and our Home Alone is a family comedy, and if they were to be released at the same time, the reaction from the audience would be self-evident."

"First of all, our film focuses on Christmas, which means that we have an advantage in terms of weather, and Li Guohao is the son of Brother Xiao Long, which is also a gimmick that can be used for publicity. You also let the Jackson Five brothers comeo, in this On the other hand, Renhe and we also have an advantage. Philadelphia is your main battleground. After three films, the theater owners in Hollywood know that your film is popular. Now, 800 theaters have agreed to release our film on a large scale. The more Zhao Yazhi talked, the more she felt, and she said excitedly with a small face: "Look, the right time, place, people and we are both occupied. Is there any hope for us not to win?"

"My lady's analysis is very reasonable." Wang Xiaohu thought about it, and it was true. He said that the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders, and this is true. "Let's talk about how we make the trailer."

"Well" 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, and Santa Claus gives gifts. We also edited a short film around this theme and combined with the content of the film: an eight-year-old The child is forgotten by the adults at home, alone in a big empty house, and there are two gangsters on the street, just this melody alone makes people think how dangerous it is.”

"That's right, it's time to insert the song "Dangerous", let's continue." Wang Xiaohu nodded encouragingly.

Seeing her husband affirming her thoughts, Zhao Yazhi felt very happy, and her self-confidence strengthened a bit. "Then we focused on the scenes of Kevin's parents, who were anxious and tried every means to return home. The suspense of this film aroused the curiosity of the audience. Didn't you say that Americans Advocating the concept of family first, my idea is to impress them with emotion."

"Haha, ma'am, your idea is amazing!" Wang Xiaohu thought for a while after hearing this, then jumped up and shouted, "I'll arrange someone to edit it right away, ma'am, let me love you well later."

"I hate it!" Zhao Yazhi laughed and cursed and beat Wang Xiaohu's chest, who made the guy's eyes look too lewd, maybe how to make herself "tired" at night.

Wang Xiaohu had an idea for the trailer, and immediately started making it non-stop. On the basis of Zhao Yazhi's idea, Wang Xiaohu added some gimmicks to the film, such as letting the Jackson Five brothers flash by clearly, and adding a sentence at the end of the trailer : Want to see the Jackson 12 live? Come to theaters on December 25!
On the last day of filming, Linda and Li Xiangning, accompanied by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, came down to visit the crew. After learning that Li Guohao was going to star in "Home Alone", Linda had always wanted to do the visit, but she was worried that it would affect the filming progress of the film. After contacting Choose the last day to come.

Linda was moved to tears when she saw her son who was busy on the set, and said to Zhao Yazhi beside her, "Angela, Brand was just as involved as Bruce when he was filming, the father and son are really alike. "

"He is already a big kid." Zhao Yazhi nodded and said, "When filming, no matter how tired he was, he never gave up on the daily training plan with Ah Hu, no matter how hard he was, he never complained. After my brother passed away, he grew up."

Linda looked at Li Guohao and said with satisfaction: "Yes, thank you and Tiger for taking care of him. Without you, he might become a bad boy in Seattle."

"This is what we should do." Zhao Yazhi said with emotion: "Besides, there is another member in the family, and we are much happier."

"Wow, when are you planning to have a baby?" Linda asked in a small voice.

Zhao Yazhi laughed and said: "Although Ah Hu has mentioned it many times, but I don't have this kind of thought at the moment, let's wait a few more years, we are still young after all."

"That means you have been taking it all the time." Linda covered her mouth and almost cried out.

Zhao Yazhi nodded and said: "Well, I don't want to create too much pressure on Ah Hu, besides, our current life is relatively happy, I am very content." Two married women whispered in the corner of the studio
On the set, Wang Xiaohu waved his right arm vigorously: "CUT!" Then he raised the loudspeaker and said: "Guys, we have finally finished shooting, Lao Wang, Lao Xie, Xiao Li, you should pack up your things quickly, Brandon, you must Put on a down jacket, otherwise you will catch a cold, others will help clean up, let's go to the hotel and have a good meal, congratulations to our film crew!"
