In 1980, "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" was known as the originator of psychic action films, and was deeply loved by the audience once it was released that year, and then Hong Jinbao launched the same series of works as "People Scared" and "People Scared Ghosts". After several years of development, in 1985, "Mr. Zombie" turned out to be the ninth uncle Lin Zhengying became a generation of zombie Dao chiefs.
The status of Uncle Nine Lin Zhengying in zombie movies is no different from that of Bruce Lee in action movies and Stephen Chow in comedies, and whenever he watches zombie movies, as long as Uncle Nine is present, he will not be afraid. Yellow runes, glutinous rice, peach wood swords, copper sword, Maoshan jade pendant, Bagua mirror, black dog blood, bells, etc. are all the methods of Uncle Jiu to deal with zombies, and no one can compare in terms of professionalism.
The heyday of zombie films was the mid-to-late 80s to early 90s, all kinds of genres, but also combined with Nanyang head-down techniques and Western vampires, Hong Kong filmmakers in that period had a strong sense of innovation and knew how to adapt to changes in the market. However, in the mid-90s, the zombie film market was a mess, even Uncle Nine could do nothing, could only turn to film and television dramas, and then "Zombie Road Chief" Mao Xiaofang came out, and successfully blew up a wave of zombies, unfortunately, in 1997, Uncle Jiu left us forever.
In the more than ten years since the death of The Ninth Uncle Lin Zhengying, zombie films have been stagnant and gradually withdrawn from movies. In recent years, there have also been many zombie movies that pay tribute to Uncle Nine, and the more excellent works are Mai Junlong's "Zombie", of course, there are also many shoddy and confusing audiences, such as "Heavenly Master Saves Zombie", "Save Zombie Scavenger" and so on.
On January 5, a network movie to be released has attracted the attention of Dasheng, it is "New Mr. Zombie's Head Technique", also known as "New Mr. Zombie 2", the director is Liu Guanwei, the real godfather of zombie films, the classic zombie films such as "Mr. Zombie", "New Mr. Zombie", "Uncle Zombie" and so on are all from his hands, while Liu Guanwei's uncle himself is Maoshan Master, he knows a lot about this knowledge, this time he went out to the mountains to save zombie films, is bound to be a major point of view.
Looking at the lineup again, Qian Xiaohao is the most powerful disciple of The Ninth Uncle Lin Zhengying, and he is also the person who is considered by everyone to be able to carry the banner of the Ninth Uncle Zombie Film. He officially took over the position of the head of the Ninth Uncle Zombie in "The New Zombie Mr. Descending Technique", known as the Ninth Brother, no matter what, he did not dare to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor called Uncle Nine.
When Dasheng first saw Qian Xiaohao put on the Daoist robe, he was a little worried that he would not be able to be a master, thinking that he was too solemn and lacked a righteous momentum. Look at Uncle Nine again, who is righteous, quite traditional, and occasionally comes to a little cold humor.
In addition, Xu Yuanli replaced Qian Xiaohao's previous role Qiu Sheng, and he didn't know if he could have an affair with a ghost like him. Among them, Xu Yuanli is the son of director Xu Xiaoming and has made great achievements in martial arts.
Xu Guanying's literary talent has Xiao Dingdang to take over, I believe many people should have seen his "Young Great Chincha" and "Little Devil Big Liu Luo Pot", when he was a child, he was full of spirituality.
The overall story of "New Mr. Zombie's Head Descending Technique" is that Brother Jiu took two apprentices to guard the peace of Qinglong Town, and after Brother Jiu and his apprentice came, a series of strange things began to occur, such as the morgue corpse change, the killing of the corpse chief, and various poison raids. It turned out that everything behind it was the work of the vicious Descending Head Master, and then there was the battle between the good and evil of Master Maoshan and the Descending Master.
From the synopsis of the story, it can be seen that this film has both the feelings between the brothers and sisters of the same door, and the Xiangxi corpse removal, the head of the division, can be described as wonderful, director Liu Guanwei once said that 80% of the script of this film is written by himself, if the film is not good, he will no longer make zombie movies, it seems that this time Liu Guanwei is careful.
It is worth mentioning that the martial arts guidance of this film is played by The Yuanbao of Qixiaofu, perhaps the fame of Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Kui, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Bin and others is too big, so that everyone ignores him, in fact, Yuan Bao previously focused on the martial arts guidance of film and television dramas, TVB's "Divine Eagle Hero", "Yi Tian Tu Dragon Chronicle", "Top Gun Master Sister" and other film and television dramas are all behind the scenes he did, with his joining, there is a layer of protection in action design.
Many netizens said that the background of the story must be set during the Republic of China, and at the same time, makeup, costumes, scenes, music, etc. must also have the original taste, and give us a visual experience with a sense of age, so that it is a great respect for zombie movies.
Although "The New Zombie Mr. Head-Down Technique" has Liu Guanwei and Qian Xiaohao sitting in the seat, and Yuanbao escorts it, it is impossible to surpass it, after all, the Ninth Uncle Lin Zhengying has long been a god in our hearts. Nevertheless, "New Mr. Zombie 2" is still worth looking forward to, after all, there are still people who insist on shooting zombie themes, let's wait and see!
