[US Entertainment] Crossover superstar

Chapter 9 Enrollment and Shooting

In mid-March, after Jeffrey Craig signed a contract with the crew of "Home Alone 3," Elena Thomas and Ryan Harrison took him on board the plane to Chicago. plane, went to Chicago to enter the filming crew.

For this filming, Jeffrey did a lot of ideological work on his mother Elena.

Just because Jeffrey asked the school for more than a month's leave, and Elena was worried that it would affect his study...

Under Jeffrey's hard work, Elena finally agreed, and then helped Jeffrey ask for leave from Edward Primary School.

However, Elena was worried about Jeffrey instead.

Because Los Angeles was so far from Chicago, and she had never been so far apart from Jeffrey.

Even with Ryan accompanying Jeffrey, Elena was still a little worried.

Therefore, she also applied to UCLA for a period of leave, and decided to accompany Jeffrey to Chicago.

The crew's director, assistant director, prop artist, make-up artist, costume artist, photographer and other staff have all returned to the shooting location in Chicago a few days in advance after filming a few scenes in Hong Kong.

But Jeffrey received the notice of joining the filming team more than half a month after signing the contract.

When Elena and Ryan took Jeffrey and the three of them to the filming base of the "Home Alone 3" crew according to the address given in the admission notice, almost all the actors of the crew had gathered.

"Hey! Jeffrey, Jeffrey! We're here, you're here!"

The sharp-eyed assistant director Catherine Duff immediately called out Jeffrey's name when she saw Jeffrey Craig, Ryan Harrison and Elena Thomas outside the production base , beckoning to several people.

Jeffrey, Elena, and Ryan, who were a little confused, immediately walked towards Catherine Duff upon hearing this.

"Hello, Director Catherine! We meet again. We are not very familiar with Chicago, so we didn't find this place all at once..."

Jeffrey and Catherine, the deputy director, hugged each other warmly, and then explained to her.

"It's okay, it's okay! Guys, come with me! You've worked hard, I'll first introduce Jeffrey to some actors who will cooperate with him in the movie, and then I will arrange a room for you guys to rest... ..."

After releasing Jeffrey, Catherine Duff leads the way.

"Ah Choo... Cough Cough Cough... Cough Cough..."

Jeffrey sniffed, his head a little dizzy.After nearly ten hours of running around, he was a little tired.

Jeffrey was a little helpless, he sighed, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Hey... this kid's body is still a little weak!" '

Even if he usually exercises deliberately, he still...

Hearing Jeffrey's cough, Catherine looked back at him carefully. She found that Jeffrey was wrapped in a thick down jacket, and his face was flushed.

"Is Jeffrey alright? Is it a cold? Why has it been..." Catherine frowned and asked Ryan and Elena, feeling a little worried.

"Jeff may be a little tired, and because of the climate, he is a little uncomfortable."

Elena was also very distressed, after all, whether in London or Los Angeles, Jeffrey had never experienced such a cold weather.

What's more, it's still going from the sunny days of Los Angeles to the icy and snowy days of Chicago...

Catherine nodded after hearing this, feeling a little relieved. "Then call a doctor to show Jeffrey later, and then go back to the room and have a good rest!"

"Jeffrey, this is Oleke Krupa, Lea Gistard, Lenny von Doren, David Thornton and Scarlett Johansson...they are in the movie with you The ones with the most supporting roles."

Catherine Duff took Jeffrey to the people who were talking, pointed at them and introduced them to Jeffrey.

And Jeffrey, who was still dizzy, became half awake when he heard the name Scarlett Johansson.

yes!How could he forget that Scarlett Johansson was in this movie?Jeffrey liked her in a previous life because of her wonderful performances and classic images in "The Avengers", "Iron Man" and "Captain America".

Although Scarlett Johansson was still a young and immature little loli at this time, she later became one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood.Scarlett Johansson, who has been awarded many awards such as the queen of Rome, the best actress at the Venice Film Festival, and multiple Golden Globe nominations, although there is still a certain distance from the top Hollywood superstars, she is definitely in the top tier .

"Hey! Jeffrey, what's the matter with you...?" Catherine Duff shook Jeffrey who was beside him in a daze.

Jeffrey, who was thinking about Scarlett Johansson, was shaken awake by Catherine, and immediately greeted several people.

"Hello! I'm Jeffrey Craig and I'm going to play the role of Alex in the movie."

Jeffrey looked up at several people with a sweet smile on his face.

Several actors also looked at Jeffrey kindly, after all, cute and delicate children are always lovable.Among them, Leia Guisted even bent down and pinched Jeffrey's cheek.

"Jeffrey, I know you! I've seen your show on Disney Kids, and I'm a fan of you too..."

Scarlett Johansson opened her eyes wide and looked at Jeffrey with a shy expression.

"Ah? Thank you for your support..."

Hearing that Scarlett Johansson, one of the goddesses in his previous life, turned out to be his fan, Jeffrey couldn't react for a while.

Considering that Geoffrey Craig was a little unwell, Catherine thought about taking Jeffrey to rest after letting the main actors get to know each other for a while.

"Okay, okay! Anyway, there is still time to talk in the future, so I will take Jeffrey to rest first!"

After finishing speaking, she led Jeffrey and the three of them to the hotel booked by the crew.

…………

In the early morning, the sky in Chicago was still gray, with scattered snowflakes, and it was very cold outside.

After a good night's rest, Jeffrey slowly adapted to Chicago's climate, and his health improved a lot.

But he still huddled in the warm blanket, a little reluctant to come out.

At this time, Jeffrey was lying on a soft bed in the hotel, lamenting in his heart the good treatment of actors in movies produced by big companies.

He had spent so many years in the entertainment industry in his previous life, but he had never stayed in such a nice hotel.

Jeffrey stretched out his head and looked into the room, and found that Elena, who was on the bed opposite him, had already woken up.

In order to take care of Jeffrey, Catherine deliberately arranged for Elena and Jeffrey to live in a double room, while Ryan lived with other actors' agents.

"Ha... huh..."

After Jeffrey yawned, he retracted his head back into the bed. He still wanted to sleep for a while.

Because the first two films in the series of "Home Alone" had a box office of over [-] million and were very popular, so the producer also strongly supported the third film.

At the same time, the outside media are also paying close attention to the filming process of the film.

However, the entire film crew of "Home Alone 3" is relatively low-key, and did not specially invite many media and hold the opening ceremony.

Only last night, after all the leading actors of the crew arrived, Director Raja Gosnell opened a large private room in the hotel, allowing the actors to eat, drink and have fun together and get to know each other!

…………

"Jeff, Jeff! Get up quickly, you're going to start filming today, don't hurry up! Otherwise, you'll be told by the director later..."

Elena poked Jeffrey who was wrapped like a silkworm chrysalis with her fingers, and urged him to get up quickly.

After Jeffrey rolled around on the bed, he finally got up resigned to his fate. He didn't want to be told by the director and others at the very beginning...

After quickly washing up and eating breakfast, Jeffrey left the hotel accompanied by Elena and Ryan, and the three rushed to the crew's shooting base.

As soon as Jeffrey arrived at the crew base, he was immediately taken to the dressing room by the on-site staff.

"Good morning! Good morning!"

After discovering that Scarlett Johansson and others were also in the dressing room, Jeffrey greeted them.

"Good morning! Jeffrey!" The few people who were being applied by the makeup artist also smiled and nodded kindly to Jeffrey.

After putting on makeup and changing into costumes, Jeffrey started shooting the first movie in his life...

"Wow! Jeffrey! You look so cute like this!" Catherine Duff looked at Jeffrey, who was wearing a thick down jacket and a cotton hat, and was immediately attracted by Jeffrey's chubby face. The appearance was captured.

Judging by Director Raja Gosnell's face, he is probably very satisfied with Jeffrey's outfit.

"Okay, okay! Everyone is ready, everyone is in your place! We are going to start shooting soon..."

Raja Gosnell clapped his hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, he gave orders to everyone.

Since it is daytime, all the scenes are filmed during the day, and Jeffrey, as the protagonist of the movie, naturally has more scenes.

"Are you all ready? It's about to start!" Raja Gosnell asked Jeffrey and the others.

"Ok!"

Jeffrey nodded, recalling in his heart the lines he had already memorized, as well as the expressions and actions to be done.

"!"

Filming began at the behest of director Raja Gosnell.

The music of the movie interlude sounded in the room where the movie was shot...

Jeffrey sat kneeling by the round table in the room, holding the remote control of the toy in his hand, manipulating the toy to feed the goldfish in the fish tank on the table. "Eat it! Little goldfish!"

After feeding the goldfish, Jeffrey walked to the door, took off his clothes and scarf, and looked at the mirror on the wall.

Jeffrey scratched his itchy neck and smoothed his golden hair back.

He opened his icy blue eyes wide, took a closer look in the mirror, and found several chicken pox on his neck and forehead.

He hurriedly lifted up his clothes, and found that he also had a lot of chickenpox on his stomach.Seeing this, Jeffrey hurried into the bathroom, took off his shirt, and stood in front of the vanity mirror in the bathroom.

"Oh my God!" Jeffrey sighed in pain after seeing a lot of chickenpox on his back.

Then, he turned sideways, faced the mirror, and slowly took off his pants.

"I hope there are no growths on the pigu..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jeffrey Craig was instantly stunned by the chickenpox on his pig.

"Ah... ah... ah..." After being stunned, Jeffrey let out a scream.

"cut!"

After filming this scene, Director Raja Gosnell stopped and did not continue filming.

"Jeffrey, take a break first! We'll start filming your other scenes in 15 minutes."

After speaking, Raja Gosnell walked towards screenwriter John Hughes and several other assistant directors.

"Hughes, Catherine! What do you think of Jeffrey Craig's performance just now?" Raja Gosnell looked at several people and asked.

"Perfect! He is just like Alex in my script, his performance is very natural and real!"

John Hughes gave a very high evaluation. You must know that even Macaulay Culkin did not receive such high praise from John Hughes.

Catherine Duff also nodded, expressing her agreement with John Hughes' words.

"Jeffrey's performance is really nothing to say. At first, I thought that this filming would be ng many times. However, I didn't expect him to be so young and have such good acting skills! It's not easy..."

Raja Gosnell was also very happy after seeing Jeffrey's performance like this, and at the same time he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the first and second films in the "Home Alone" series, directed by director Chris Columbus, were too classic and wonderful.

This also put a lot of pressure on Raja Gosnell, the new director. In addition, the protagonist of the movie is a newcomer... He also has to worry!

…………

On the other side, after hearing that the shooting of this scene was over, Jeffrey Craig immediately curled up and ran to Elena and Ryan who were waiting on the side.

"It's so cold! It's so cold!"

After taking the blanket from Elena's hand and wrapping it around his body, Jeffrey still couldn't stop shaking. He was basically naked in the scene he just shot...

"Jeff! My baby! You acted really well just now!" Elena hugged Jeffrey, who was shaking slightly, in her arms. She never imagined that her little baby Jeff had such a good acting talent.

"Yeah! Yeah! Jeff, you did a great job!"

After seeing Jeffrey's performance so well, Ryan was also very excited.He is even fantasizing about how popular Jeffrey will be after the movie is released...

It's just that the object of their praise, Jeffrey, has a completely different focus from them at this time.

"But, my body was seen by them..."

Jeffrey felt a little wronged. You must know that he had been filming for several years in his previous life, but he had never shown his body in any TV series or movies.Unexpectedly, in this life, he was so young...

After hearing this, Elena and Ryan were a little dazed at first, and then they both laughed out loud.

"Haha...haha...Jeff! You are so young, no one will pay attention to your body!"

"You don't understand that there is..." Jeffrey continued to be depressed.

"Hey! Jeffrey, get ready to continue filming!"

Just when Jeffrey sighed, no one could understand his feelings, director Raja Gosnell called him to continue shooting.
