Born in Hong Kong in 1952, Lin Zhengying was the third oldest in the family, and his family was not rich, and he dropped out of school early to learn art before he finished primary school.
In 1963, Lin Zhengying studied Peking Opera with master Pink Chrysanthemum, who founded the Spring and Autumn Drama Academy in Hong Kong. He Zunlong, Luo Jiaying and Hong Jinbao were the same as the brothers of the teacher, and after half a year of training, Lin Zhengying officially stepped onto the theatrical stage and began his acting career.
Lin Zhengying, who earns a living by his talents, has worked the Peking Opera stage for five years and has accumulated extraordinary skills. After being introduced by a friend, he officially turned to film at the age of 17.
Dragon Tiger Martial Artist is a special public stage created by the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and in the heyday of kung fu movies, a large number of children from cold backgrounds will participate in it.
Lin Zhengying was Bruce Lee's most trusted martial artist, and it is said that he was not present, and Bruce Lee preferred not to turn on the machine.
He has done martial arts instruction for Bruce Lee's films Big Brother Tangshan, Jingwumen and Dragon Fight.
This experience with Bruce Lee was the first highlight of Lin Zhengying's acting career.
In 1973, Bruce Lee died suddenly. Hong Jinbao's "Hong Jia Ban" immediately rose.
So Lin Zhengying joined Hong Jinbao's "HongJia Class" and became a backbone elite.
In 1985, Lin Zhengying, who debuted for 16 years, co-produced "Mr. Zombie" with Qian Xiaohao and Xu Guanying.
Before filming began, Liu Guanwei, as a director, was ready to roll up and run, because the total investment was as high as 8.5 million, which was five or six times that of an ordinary movie at that time, and if he lost, I was afraid that he would not be able to afford it for a lifetime.
But I didn't expect that this movie not only did not lose money, but also won 20 million box office, and more importantly, he became the pioneering work of Chinese zombie films.
In fact, the male protagonists of the movie "Mr. Zombie" are Qian Xiaohao and Xu Guanying, but because Uncle Ying's performance is too good, the audience thinks that he is the protagonist.
And Xu Guanying is also the first person in the history of Chinese film to refuse the "Best Supporting Actor" award, because he believes that he is the protagonist in "Mr. Zombie", how can he accept this supporting role award.
Lin Zhengying, who has a one-line eyebrow, a small moustache, gray hair, holding a peach wood sword, and wearing a Taoist robe, has also become the first impression of most viewers on Taoists.
Why does it still feel classic after 30 years to look back at Lin Zhengying's zombie movie?
Quite simply, two words, ingenuity.
When making this movie, they could flip around for a day for a shot, jump on the three-meter-high platform, and toss back and forth in the muddy depression without getting tired of it. In addition to the high requirements for actors, they also put a lot of effort into the script.
Before filming began, everyone did a lot of reading and interviews just to get close to the most authentic exorcism demon.
In order to respect the history of Maoshan and make the film more authentic, they invited a real Maoshan Taoist to teach Lin Zhengying these kung fu children.
The farces such as glutinous rice, peach wood sword, chicken blood, and black dog blood used by Lin Zhengying in the movie are not nonsense, and these things do have the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil.
When filming "Exorcism Police", Lin Zhengying used the Taoist auxiliary edict and a piece of Yin-Yang Taiji Maoshan jade pendant against the Japanese female mage, which was also the real guy he entrusted people to get from the real Maoshan Daoist.
In addition, Lin Zhengying's films will always be interspersed with some supernatural pictures that have never appeared before, in order to increase the mystery of the film.
For example, this red and white double in the jungle, the eerie and poignant picture, coupled with music that hits the depths of the soul, has become the childhood shadow of many people.
Of course, this kind of mysterious thing is not convenient to interpret too much, and the audience can just watch it as a pleasure.
If it is just a simple rendering of the horror atmosphere, the audience will certainly not buy it. The biggest difference between Lin Zhengying's films and other horror films is the addition of their unique black humor.
In order to let his sister help, Lin Zhengying had to sacrifice his hue to please, so that there were many funny scenes in the movie.
And the fight between him and the two apprentices also adds a lot of fun to the movie. Of course, the one with the strongest ability to make a mess has to belong to our captain Ah Wei.
But sadly, with the popularity of "Mr. Zombie", too many people began to imitate it, so that the zombie film reached the point of rotten street.
It was not until 1989 that Lin Zhengying released "One Eyebrow Daoist", which fused Western vampires with Eastern zombies, that audiences' interest in zombie films was rekindled.
In order to revive the prestige of zombie films, in 1992, Lin Zhengying once again joined hands with Qian Xiaohao and Xu Guanying to shoot this "Mr. New Zombie", although the overall creation of the film was unique, but it could not stand more than a dozen zombie movies released at the same time, and finally only received 6 million box office.
Perhaps the audience became numb or even disgusted with zombies, and then Lin Zhengying stopped making movies, but switched to TV series.
In 1995, the zombie leader he starred in achieved a good result at the time, but perhaps even he did not know that the TV series would be the final highlight of Chinese zombie films.
At the age of 40, he shot eight psychic horror films in a year, but gradually, the audience began to feel numb to such films, and Lin Zhengying's film career began to show a downward trend, and then Lin Zhengying prepared the Hollywood movie "Green Hornet" to pay tribute to his former friend Bruce Lee.
In 1997, Lin Zhengying was diagnosed with liver cancer when he was preparing to rehearse "Zombie Road Chief THREE", but he did not tell anyone, but chose to suffer alone.
In order not to drag down the pomegranate sister Yuan Qiongdan, Lin Zhengying forced her to break up with herself. Before his death, Lin Zhengying refused to be visited by everyone. It was he who didn't want everyone to see himself tormented by illness.
On October 8, 1997, Lim Cheng Ying passed away at St. Teresa's Hospital in Kowloon at the age of 45.
Uncle Nine's departure also marks the complete end of the era of Hong Kong zombie films.
