It's been a few days since filming began. It's been a fun journey for everyone, including Ian. And Ian has also undergone a lot of changes in the eyes of the actors and even the crew.

At first, they were just mechanically reciting their lines.

Since the actors didn't expect much from the film's performance, they didn't try to be the best at acting. They saw it as just an experimental film made by young directors to experience filmmaking.

As a result, most actors simply see it as a way to make a quick buck.

This frustrates Ian, who scolds the actors one by one. After all, they have so much editing and filming, and a scene isn't cheap.

"There are fourteen people in this room, you are the only one who wants to make trouble, go upstairs!" The actress who played the role of Kevin's mom Kate repeated the lines as they were.

"Cards!" Ian shouted.

"What?" She asked rhetorically, noticing Ian's angry face.

E-rated actress Fiona plays Mrs. Kate McAllister. Ian wanted her to play Kevin's mom well, and she played a big role in the first few scenes.

But she didn't even seem to have the will to try.

"That's not what you're supposed to do, where does the anger come from? Where does impatience come from? Where do the emotions come from? Do you think it's a joke?

He looked around the four corners of the room. This was his breaking point. Before he started scolding them, everyone was the same.

"A family with children, do you think a mother will be so calm? Knowing that it is a foreign country...? "

Uhh

After all, what Ian said was true. The only reason they're not serious is because they treat Ian like a newbie. But after his scolding again and again, their self-esteem as actors was hurt.

This makes them take the script seriously.

-

This is a scene where Kevin is watching an adult action movie after knowing that no one is home. And, of course, his snacks. In the original movie, it's not even a real movie.

"Come on, I'm eating trash and watching trash movies,"

Kevin's mom was strict and didn't allow him to eat or watch those types of movies. Not to mention, so far, Adam has done the scene perfectly.

This scene is very hilarious because he knows that Kevin is enjoying the time of his life because he has always wanted his family to disappear.

The man on screen shoots another person with a gun, talking about their black money deals. Fear was written all over Kevin's face.

"Leave the money, you filthy animal," the killer said as he killed, and continued to shoot when he was dead.

Kevin closed his eyes and shouted with all his might,

"Mom!"

They shoot the final scene in the house, and Kevin calls "Mom" after watching TV. Ian was very happy with that scene and Adam's performance.

The scene that follows is that the parents who are already on the plane find that they have left the child alone.

Adam is just as perfect as Kevin, and maybe even more perfect than the original cast in some scenes.

"Cards!" Ian paused, "Okay, Adam, that's good.

"Are you sure?" The child asked rhetorically, and he was still in good spirits after a day of filming.

"yes, let's pack our things now! Well done everyone. And

just like that, the day's work was finally over, but the shooting had just begun.

The next day, the shoot took place in the studio. This is the scene where they realize on the plane that Kevin is not with them and that they are flying. The green screen helped them complete the background. They start and continue the scene two or three times before they realize that something is missing.

"Parents, both of you should pretend not to care. It's like a couple who have forgotten their children. I mean, that's how you are—"

They all laughed. The shoot was full of jokes at the beginning, but the scene wasn't perfect.

Kevin's mom suddenly wakes up from a nap and picks up her bag. Rummaging through her bag, she found her purse.

"What's wrong?" Kevin's dad asked. "Honey?"

"I... Uh- I have a terrible premonition. "

About what?"

"What have we forgotten—

" "No, no, no... You feel that way because we left in such a hurry. We've got everything done... Trust me, we did it. "

Did I turn off the coffee machine?"

"No, I did,"

"Did you lock it?"

"Yes..."

Did you close the garage?"

"That's it... I forgot to close the garage... That's it.

She sighed at his words. No, it's not that..."

"What else can we forget?"

Ian was watching the conversation closely. He was pleased with the pace of the conversation, the expressions on it, and how smoothly it flowed.

"Kevin!"

She shouted.

Seeing this clip again, it's like there's something missing... Ian felt.

"Can we start over? I want the best you can do...! Give me more... expression," Ian asked.

They nodded and went on to redo the whole thing.

"Kevin!" Kate shouted again. This made Ian get up from his chair and rejoice in the perfect shot.

After a lot of trying, Ian was happy with the last shot of the day. Seeing how well she was doing, he applauded loudly. Everyone else joined him and was happy after so much effort.

"That's it for today!" Ian said.

It put a smile on everyone's face because it was the last scene they had to shoot that day.

Especially from the very beginning, Kevin, as the protagonist, has been playing this role seriously and perfectly, which makes people have to doubt their acting skills.

Also, seeing how hard Ian worked and the constructive criticism he gave in every bad scene made the actors start to really do their roles better.

They packed their bags one by one, and some went home directly, but the crew had to stay on the set to discuss more scenes.

While packing their things, they started talking about today's shooting.

"I never thought you'd scold them like that," assistant photographer Jack said loudly, and Ian could hear it.

"yes, but that's why they're taking their roles seriously, and now you see, we've got the perfect shot." He replied with a smile.

"This scenario can be a little tricky, so let me explain it to you. Kevin's scene where you're going to walk through a blowtorch and set your head on fire.

Hearing this, Hyde Wilkins, who played Harry, nodded and smiled. He is a middle-aged man who is fatter than the average person, but he is an excellent actor. He performs flawlessly, like the real Harry in Home Alone. However, Ian had to get a makeup artist to create fake wrinkles and make a bald head during the shoot. But most of the time, Harry wears a hat, so it's easier for them.

"Are you going to burn my head?" He asked with a smile.

"We can't do that, can we? We're going to play the old magician's trick. The fire would be blown onto a dummy's head and then painted black.

He turned to the photographer to continue his words, "The camera will be pointed at the glass at a 45° angle. When Hyde hits this very particular marker on the device, the image of the dummy's head will be obscured, leaving only the flames visible. Looks like it burned to your head. They

all nodded in understanding. So at the end of the day, my head is still going to catch fire. Hyde laughed, making everyone laugh.

They were amazed at Ian's excellent performance at everything, but Ian wanted to recover as quickly as possible, so he used the same tactics he used in Home Alone 1 in his previous life.

His memory provided him with all the strategies he needed.

It's been more than a week since the shooting. After successfully filming aerial flight scenes in the studio, they decided to travel to Canada. They rented a house in Canada that looked almost exactly like the house in the original movie.

The peculiarity is that Ian wants the same screaming Christmas furniture as in the original. It is said that the furniture and house decorations used by the original director are red and green, depicting the essence of Christmas.

Knowing that Ian rented the house with the furniture. Soon, the house was exactly the same as McAllister's house.

In the original, some of the house interiors and many others were built inside an abandoned high school. Ian was lucky enough to find the house and rent it without having to remodel things and spend more money.
