Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

Since filming began, Ian's life has not been easy. This is mainly because he wants these shots so badly.

Some are better than the original, others are worse. When Ian looked through it, he couldn't find a shot similar to the original movie. The scene Ian recorded is the scene where Kevin walks into a toy store.

"Thirty minutes, the camera should be turning!" Mason said, and the crowd began to prepare for the scene.

The initial scene reminds Ian of something, all the kids who appear in the toy store scene are allowed to take home their favorite toys as part of their paycheck, and although it's useless and a prop made specifically for the film, Macaulay Culkin is a talker.

Here, Ian has paid for all the children's toys, and the store that provides the toys also mentions how the toys can be shared among the children.

"If this scene can be filmed within two or three beats, I swear, you can bring in any toy here!" Ian said, and all the children jumped in excitement.

They're just kids, some are new to the industry, but most have acting experience.

In less than forty minutes, the shooting began.

It started outside the toy store. The camera captured the name of the store, and Ian had to customize it two or three times to get a name that perfectly matched the theme of the story.

“.... Go!" Ian shouted.

Everyone is already in their role. The streets were already packed, and it took little effort for Ian to get the streets in the Christmas spirit – even though Christmas was still a long way off.

The car stopped at the door of the store, and the driver hurriedly got out of the car.

"Here we are, sir. Duncan's Toy Box. The driver said, and Kevin looked up at the toy store in disbelief.

He ticked an "O" on the corner of his mouth and looked out of the store with great interest.

There is more to come.

"Merry Christmas, Kevin," Adam said through his mouth.

"Cards! perfect on the first shot, your expression is on point, it's something we can hold onto," Ian said, smiling back as Adam raised his hands and gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, let's go in, are you ready? Let the actors in, Adam, I'll explain your expression, I'm sure you already have the character Kevin in mind. -

They all went in and it took longer than Ian thought it would take to get everything in order.

The placement of toys and props was not satisfactory, so I had to pull around and tidy up.

"Shooting from the train and moving up, you should be able to see the front of the store. Kevin will turn here, and that's where Camera 2 moves to the left. From above the light, I wanted to zoom in on Kevin's face... Yes, that's it. Let's see what happens," Ian said, returning to the monitor screen.

The entire store is filled with Christmas decorations from left to right.

“.... "Ian commanded, as everyone was already in place.

Children are touching, watching, and enjoying the scenery in front of them. There are also actors in the toy store who show things to the children.

It's a scary scene.

"No, the entire right area is covered. You can't just stand there and look at the toys. Imagine taking your kids to a toy store and what you would do? let them look at the toys, show how they work, and entertain them in your own words... Right? I want it to be shown. And James, when she comes to you, you should act like you're in the store to take something out. Show the changes in the toys and explain them.

In the background, there will be music, but before the focus turns to Kevin, the action should be real, shall we try again?" Ian asked.

"Yes

!" "Of course

!" "We're ready!" "

Again!!"

-

a few days have passed since that scene at the toy store.

The part of Ian's focus now is where Malf and Harry are tormented by their children.

Here's the fun part. Ian initially wanted to continue working on the tricky parts, including where Malf and Harry were beaten up first, but then he decided to take his time as scripted.

"In two weeks, I'm pretty sure we'll be done," Ian said to Raelin.

"Yes, maybe I'm sure until then," she replied, and then they both went back to work.

In the scene, the main focus is on Will Murray and Hyde Wilkins. In case anyone doesn't remember, Will Murray plays Malf in Home Alone 1, while Hyde Wilkins plays Harry.

"Okay, so I guess it's right for everyone to know what they're supposed to do? When the alarm goes off, Harry and Malf have to hurry. And then Harry, you jump on this, and then Malf should run closer, and then have to jump. And then. Cut.

"After that scene, Hugh came here again to help with the acting, Chet. Then, Harry should have looked like that.

"Rainlin, pay attention to the camera position here. When Hugh replaces Harry, it shouldn't seem obvious. You know how," Ian said, laughing with Raelin.

-

“....

"I'm here, I'm really scared," Kevin shouted.

The next scene is the end scene of torture. It's a winning streak full of risky stunts.

This time, Ian made sure to share the thrill of the stunt with the actors. Just like the first Will Through the Glass toy he filmed, most of the scenes this time were a pain for the actors.

Just like what Ian sees now through the small monitor screen.

"What's that sound?" Harry asked, pressing his ear to the door. Behind the door, there is nothing, but in the movie, there will be a huge toolbox being pushed by Kevin.

Eventually, the door on the other side, along with the toolbox, was pushed towards the groom and Harry.

"Ka!" Ian shouted as everyone gave up on their actions.

"My back hit the wall hard," Will said, bending back. The popping sound sounded, causing everyone to laugh.

"We need to warm up before these shoots, and from the next shot, we're going to run five laps around the set," Hyde said with a laugh.

"I think I might as well consider joining the fitness team, lighting the lights is not an easy job, it should be dark here, and it makes things even harder. The videographer joined the discussion and said with a smile. With flying colors.

- At the moment, Malf and Harry are hanging from a rope - yes, a rope.

Some of the cables protect their lives, and if not, they are hung by ropes. Pun.

Somehow, filming has already begun, and the actors are repeating their conversations with enough expressions and body language.

Hyde Wilkins has a different mindset when he hangs on a rope.

"I don't think I'll be able to finish this scene without vomiting," he said to Ian as the director explained the scene.

Don't look down. Don't look down. Don't look down. He told himself over and over again.

"Harry, you put on aftershave?" said the groom.

The lens is basically focused on their faces, making the facial expressions stand out more.

-

Ian smiled at Malf's expression. He looked really confused when he hung on the rope.

This is understandable, as they are fighting for their lives after a lot of torture with a child, and the smell of aftershave can be confusing.

"It's not aftershave, it's kerosene, and the rope is soaked in it. "Harry is the smartest of them all, and it's proven here.

"Why would anyone dip a rope in kerosene?"

"Ka!" shouted Ian. "Perfect, the next scene is basically the stuntman's. All it takes is your facial expressions, which is easy to do. Let's take ten minutes, I have to go through it all over again," he said, as Malf and Harry were taken safely to land.

Hyde Wilkins sighed, the longest he had ever sighed, and slept on the floor.

Raelyn couldn't help but laugh as she kept filming what was happening.

"Damn! we could have done it on the floor!" he said, keeping his eyes on the sky.

"I wanted realistic facial expressions," Ian said, giggling at the sight of how scared Hyde looked.

A whole month of work is coming to an end. The day that all the actors were afraid of - the final shot was finally about to be taken.

Just like in the first film, Ian ended up retaining the ending reunion for filming. Because even in terms of film and production, it was a fitting ending for him and all the actors.

"So, we're back to the Home Alone ending, what do you think of Adam?"

They filmed a scene in the morning, and after the lunch break, Adam, Fiona, Ian and others sat around the set.

"I feel like it's more stressful and stressful than the first film. But at the same time, it's funny. I'm waiting to see the final product," he said.

Ian applauded, and the others applauded.

"As much as I'm curious to know what everyone in this room thinks, I think we should start filming the final act. Are you all ready?" Ian asked with a smile.

"Raireen isn't there, she's out," Nick said, Ian frowning.

"Huh?" Ian asked, as everyone looked at each other.

"She's out, she should be here at all times," Nick said again, noticing the unsettling silence.

After a few minutes, the environment on set became less intimidating due to where the cinematographer went.

Everyone started doing one thing or another, except to start shooting.

Ian was busy finishing the final filming script scenes. He is talking to Mason about his plans to release the film.

"The last time we posted it was Christmas. Considering that the demand for Christmas movies always increases during this season, it is going well," Mason said.

"yes, the best part is that since its release, there hasn't been a movie that has come close to Home Alone," Ian said, scrolling his phone.

"How do you know?" asked Mason rhetorically.

"Well, this film is from the Lyon studio, and it's another Christmas movie. The question is how they started promoting the film now. Just when the topic of Christmas movies came up, there was a trend about home alone. It's really important, not a joke. "

Ahaha... Yes," Mason said.

As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly went dark. Ian gasped and looked around, seeing nothing.

The whole scene looks surprising not only to Ian but to everyone. Apparently, they fell silent, and the next thing they could see was a light coming from Ian's left.

"

Happy birthday to you...""Happy birthday to you..."

"What the hell?" Ian cursed to himself as he saw the light getting closer. It's Raireen, holding the candle and the cake.

"

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday...", "Happy Birthday to you!" Adam finally shouted, and the lights came on.

Ian was really surprised.

"What—how do you know?" Ian asked, a big smile on everyone's face.

"We missed both of your birthdays, but not this one! I don't know how, but Raelyn found out about it last week, and we wanted to surprise you. Coincidentally, it was also the last day of filming. Nick said, bringing the cake to Ian.

A smile spread across Leylin's face, too.

"Happy birthday, Ian!" she said.

-

After their little celebration, Ian is stunned, and Ian's birthday on Earth is October 22nd.

The same is true of his possessed original owner in Blue Star, which is incredible?

The scene in the house was filmed after the celebration, and the final scene left is Kevin talking to the camera in front of a huge Christmas tree.

"So, that's the last act... Don't mess it up

!" "Everyone, be quiet!" Ian gave the order, and everyone fell silent.

"Sound

!" "Put!" replied the sound manager, Robert.

"Camera?"

"Put!" replied Railin, cinematographer.

"Roll...!"

"Film camera...!" "

Go!"

The clapperboard came to the camera, and everyone got into their roles.

Perfectly set up. Adam stands in front of a giant Christmas tree. The Christmas tree is perfectly celebrated with blue and red lights, and the golden lights add more charm and joy to the environment.

Behind Kevin aka Adam, the props and buildings are built based on Ian, just like they were in the original movie.

"Start.... The

camera turned, recording Kevin's every move.

"I know that even if I do a good deed, I don't deserve Christmas. I don't want any gifts. Instead, I want to take back every mean word I've said to my family... Even if they don't. I don't care. I love them all. Including buzzing. If I can't see them all, can I just see my mother? I would never want anything else, ever. I just want my mom. I knew it wasn't going to be tonight... But promise me that I can see her again. Sometimes. At all hours. Even if it's just once, and only for a few minutes. I need to tell her I'm sorry. Adam repeated the conversation, and even Ian felt sincere for his persistence.

By the end, Fiona yells, "Kevin?" "

Camera 3... Roll!" Reelin commanded.

"Mom?" Kevin asked rhetorically.

"That's fast," he continued, speaking into the Christmas tree.

"Fiona... Run!" Ian ordered, and Fiona, who played Kevin's mother, ran through the middle of the fictional building behind Kevin, and finally stood a few feet away from Adam.

"Oh, Kevin," she said with glazed eyes.

"Camera 2, in Adam's face...", Reelin commanded again.

"Mom, I'm sorry," Adam said.

"I'm sorry too," Fiona said, tears rolling down her face.

Adam appears neutral, and after a few seconds his facial expression changes.

"Give me that giggling Adam... Perfect!" said Ian, who got the perfect shot he needed.

"I need one more person like this, sad as it is, Fiona, and I want you to smile with him, change your neutral face, and show emotion when I say change. Are we ready? let's do the guys, we get it!" Ian perked up, and everyone returned to their places.

Last time, Ian was scolding how the last shot didn't meet his standards, but this time, despite all the experience he's gained, he realizes that some explanation and patience will get him the perfect shot he needs.

-

Ian is finally satisfied with the last shot. Finally, everyone sat around Ian again and talked about their experiences along the way.

"Honestly, it feels more like a remake of the first film," said one of the actresses on the set.

Filming wasn't needed by everyone, but more than half of the cast came because it was the last day and they wanted to celebrate Ian's birthday, so everyone took their share of the cake.

"Hmm... That's true, but tell me that almost all the good reviews have asked them what they want to see Marff and Harry look like they're tormented by a child. And, tell me, what's the fun of Christmas without a good Christmas movie?" Ian asked, and everyone laughed.

"I'm for it

!" "Really!"

"Aha... Best scene ever!

" "I bet they'll love this movie even more than the first one

!" "Who knows!"

People started talking about the movie, and Ian thought of something else.

Ian knows that director Chris Columbus admitted in an audio review of Home Alone (1990) that the film was "sort of" a remake of the first film.

In addition, in the original film, the deleted scene in which Kevin has a water scene in the square similar to the one in the first film, director Chris Columbus cut the scene for two reasons, the film is already two hours old, and he is afraid that others will accuse the film of being a remake and not a sequel to Home Alone.

It also makes a lot of sense.

Even when Ian remakes the movie in this world, there is such a coincidence.

Among the sponsors of the second film, 'BlueTula' is a soft drink brand that sponsored Home Alone 2.

It also reminded him of something from the original movie – Coca-Cola products appear several times in the film, including in Kevin's scenes.

Riding in a limousine, Home Alone (1990) uses Pepsi products when Kevin's cousin Fuller wakes up

at the Plaza Hotel What happened at the Plaza Hotel was that Ian rented another hotel, which unfortunately did not coincide with the original film. But things went well, as nothing happened during the shooting.

"So friends who are ready to share, would you like to hear some interesting facts about this movie?" Ian asked, and the crowd nodded in agreement.

"I'm not sure if anyone noticed—" Ian spoke as each pair of eyes focused on him. "Not once in this film or Home Alone (1990), either Harry or Malf calls Kevin's name. They didn't stand a chance, because they only knew the names of his parents from the details of the first film. At the beginning of the first film, Harry mentions Kevin by saying that all he says is "a whiny kid who is throwing a tantrum". The bag that Kevin is holding in front of Duncan's toy box has his last name and initials on it. Harry looked at Kevin's ticket before tearing it up, probably seeing his name on it. Towards the end of the film, Lady Pigeon yells, "Kevin, run!" in front of the groom and Harry. "

Wow what

?" "Is this

true?" "Damn, really?" "

This is so weird that it can't be true...!" Everyone's

comment made Ian laugh.

"I'm going to keep doing some... The kid that Malf and Harry caught in the park was wearing a hat that was almost identical to Kevin's when he

was in the house of the ghosts!" "What the hell is going on!!"

Once again, everyone realizes that this is true. Still others were speechless. The expressions were priceless, Ian giggled.

"Okay, okay, last but not least... In the first film, the McAllisters travel to France when they forget about Kevin. In this movie, when Kevin boards a plane to New York City, he sits next to a man who only speaks French.

"What?"

"No... I can't do that anymore!" "

Fucking thought there was a connection... Wow

!" "One more!" Ian announced to the cheers of everyone. Fiona covered her ears with her hands.

"I can't do this anymore!"

"Both movies ended with Kevin being scolded!".
