A "Eight Immortals Hotel's Human Meat Char Siu Bun" makes people talk about eating discoloration.
In that era when there was no Internet, how many people completed their first movie viewing ceremony in the video hall. That feeling of both mystery and anticipation completely makes people forget the harsh and dim viewing environment around them. Even if you stick to it for a few hours, you can accidentally enjoy several Hong Kong and Taiwan cult works. For example, Huang Qiusheng's 1993 horror film "Eight Immortals Hotel's Human Meat Char Siu Bao" could hardly be released publicly in theaters, so people knew about such restricted movies at that time, basically in the video hall.
I have to say that Huang Qiusheng can be called a hall-level figure in the field of Chinese video halls. Whether it is watching his literary and artistic films or restrictive movies, as long as the name of Brother Qiu Sheng is mentioned, the owner of the video hall will always flash an imperceptible expression on his face, and then he will smile... It can be said that in addition to the big fly that loves to dig nostrils in "Ancient Puzzle Boy", Huang Qiusheng's most popular movie fans are probably the cult old ancestor film "Eight Immortals Hotel's Human Flesh Char Siu Bun".
It is said that after the release of this film, the business of all the fast food shops on the streets of Hong Kong was depressed, and the battle was somewhat similar to the "Ding Crab Effect" of that year. In October 1992, after TVB broadcast the drama series "Big Time", the Hong Kong stock market plunged for a while, which some people called the "Ding Crab Effect". Ding Crab (played by Zheng Shaoqiu) is the main villain in this drama, and the ending ends with Ding Crab's stock plummeting...
However, many people do not know that after the "char siu bun", what really made Huang Qiusheng famous was the movie "Ebola Virus". It is also the film that ends the convention of some fast food stores only selling "hamburgers".
What kind of existence is the movie "Ebola Virus"?
Although the film was not released publicly due to its too large scale, and even a serious poster is difficult to find on the Internet, it is fortunate to see the true face of this restrictive film today, and it is still an ultra-high-definition version. The plot of the film is very simple, can be summarized into three chapters, let's take a look at it together -
Chapter 1 Hong Kong Killings
Ah Ji (played by Huang Qiusheng) is originally a small hell... Look at this name! The movie opens with him having an affair with the boss's woman (100 words omitted here), which coincides with the boss taking his little brother home and bumping into him. So Ah Ji begged for forgiveness, the little brother also taunted on the side, and the woman pushed the matter all on Ah Ji. The boss (played by Cheng Kui'an) is also very strange, although he is very angry, but he asks Ah Ji to cut off his roots and provides a pedicure knife.
Ah Ji will not do it as soon as he looks at it, is this not a rip-off, where is the use of pedicure knife to do this kind of thing, even if you are like the Duke of Hai in "Deer Ding", the good villain also gave Wei Xiaobao a sledgehammer. So Ah Ji bravely grabbed the pedicure knife, after killing the boss, incidentally also cut off the root vein of the little brother, the bloody scene here is not much to say, everyone make up their own brains. Then Ah Ji asked the woman why she was so unreasonable, and cut her tongue and dug her heart in anger.
Before leaving, Ah Ji also wanted to burn the eldest's daughter, but because he was bumped into by a neighbor, he fled to Africa in a hurry. To say that this neighbor actor does not know where to find, a hippie face without fear, if you look at it from here alone, it is like a joke. Instead, Huang Qiusheng interpreted a pervert to the fullest, so there was that classic hair-raising still, he held a pedicure knife and his face was bloody and despised the front.
Chapter II: Flight to Africa
After arriving in Africa, Ah Ji began a working career in a restaurant. A standard waiter suit, fluent British English, plus Huang Qiusheng's unique pigtails, if not in a horror movie, it is definitely a handsome guy. Do you remember Brother Qiu Sheng in the movie "Flower Street Times"? That's the van. However, Huang Qiusheng is so strange, the male protagonist of the literary and art film is not appropriate, he prefers to take restrictive films, and the scale is not large.
Back to the point. Because the African boss knew that he had come from Hong Kong to kill people, the two of them insulted him at every turn, which made Ah Ji very annoyed. In addition to processed food, his biggest hobby is to eavesdrop on the "private conversation" of the boss's two mouths. One day, in order to buy cheap pork, the boss drove him to a steppe tribe in Africa, only to encounter the tribe doing "law" for several corpses.
When the two of them looked closely, these corpses were bleeding profusely and their deaths were very tragic. The boss asked the tribal leader where to buy pork, and the leader pointed to the corpses, which frightened the two people into a fart and urinary stream, and hurriedly said that you are not joking!? The leader explained, in fact, we can all eat, you really need pork to see there. As he spoke, he pointed to a few dead pigs next to the corpses, and they were bleeding like those corpses.
After pulling on the pork, the car broke anchor on the way back to the restaurant, and Ah Ji took advantage of the convenient gap to rescue a fainting black man, and the heart rose again. Suddenly the black man began to bleed and cling to the chicken, and in a hurry, he broke the black man's head with a stone and ran back with a smoke (120 words are omitted here)... After arriving at the restaurant, Ah Ji suddenly convulsed, and after a diagnosis, learned that he was infected with the rare Ebola virus by black people, and that the origin of this virus was the tribe where they bought pork.
In order not to affect the business, the hostess ordered the chicken to be killed. As a result, the chicken came with antibodies, not only did the Jedi strike back to kill the boss, but also what about the boss lady. Halfway through, the boss's cousin came to visit the class, and a piece was processed into a meatloaf by him. When director Qiu Litao handled this plot, he did not give close-ups as widely as in "Human Meat Char Siu Bun", but completely handed over time to Huang Qiusheng and let his acting skills play. It can be said that the horror plots of Huang Qiusheng eating human eyes and processing meat cakes are completely shown by acting skills, and there is no bloody and bloody.
The next day, as soon as the guys went to work, Ah Ji and no one else, he lied that the boss had returned to his hometown in Taiwan, and when he left, he told him to take care of the shop, and also took the opportunity to launch the "Ebola Burger" and "Char Siu Bun" series of packages. As a result, many people who have eaten have begun to fall ill, and the scene is like the end of the world... Later, African police began investigating the restaurant, and after stealing a large amount of dollars from the boss, Ah Ji changed his appearance and took a flight to Hong Kong.
Chapter 3 Final Chapter
After Ah Ji returned to Hong Kong, he began a life of paper drunk and gold fans, but those who came into contact with him soon began to develop illness, which also attracted the attention of the Hong Kong police. In the process of contacting his ex-girlfriend's family, Ah Ji once longed for a normal life. But the devil is the devil, and he not only killed his ex-girlfriend, but also kidnapped her daughter. In the process of being pursued by the police, he even kept spitting at passers-by, and the final result of the person who vomited could be imagined.
In order not to harm the children, the police used anesthesia needles to shoot, and Na Cheng thought that Ah Ji actually used a kitchen knife to peel off the meat of the place where he was shot, and as a result, he fell to the ground and was eaten by a pet dog. In the end, it was the police (played by Yin Yangming) who used the "flamethrower" to end up with Ah Ji. However, this person did too much evil, and the angry police officer fired many shots at Ah Ji's corpse.
At the end of the easter egg, a little girl eats with a dog, and next to her sits an ignorant and kind old man. That dog was the one who ate the chicken... This concludes the entire film. This is also the only cult-level film in Hong Kong and Taiwan so far that has an Easter egg. Director Qiu Litao's intention of this Easter egg is very obvious, neither to say whether the Ebola virus is cleared, nor to admit that the virus is still there, anyway, it is to let everyone be careful, especially public health.
Postscript: Demons are still on earth
In 1996, when "Ebola Virus" was filmed, it coincided with the third large-scale outbreak of Ebola virus, mainly concentrated in the Philippines, Texas in the United States and Tuscany in Italy. The virus, also known as Ebola, derives from the name of a river in the Congo, and is a collective term for many fibrovirus family Ebola viruses. It first erupted in 1976, the second in 1979, and reappeared fifteen years after mysteriously disappearing.
The biosecurity level of Ebola virus is 4, the risk factor is much higher than sars, it can be transmitted through air alone, and the Ramanra virus mentioned in Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" is Ebola. In 1992, Japanese leaders led 40 members to the virus as a tool for the holocaust, but were unsuccessful.
There have been reports that the virus still exists in Africa, the United States, the Philippines and other places. Although there have been news of Ebola virus patients being cured, it should be noted that the virus has also been producing new variants since the late 1970s, and the mortality rate has changed from the initial 88% to 90%, so for safety reasons, when using overseas mail, especially in the United States, the Philippines and other regions, it is best to avoid or buy domestic products.
