He is a regular in ghost zombie movies, and audiences are familiar with his face, but few people know his name.
As the Dao Chief, he is no worse than Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa, because he and Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa are originally brothers of the same disciple.
He is not only a martial arts instructor, but also a director, he is Qian Yuesheng.
Mention Qian Yuesheng, you have to say his mentor Pink Chrysanthemum.
Pink Chrysanthemum is a Peking Opera Wudan actor and famous opera master. In 1949, Pink Chrysanthemum opened the Spring and Autumn Drama School of Peking Opera in Hong Kong, and many people learned martial arts with her from an early age, and many film actors and Cantonese opera artists worshiped her as a teacher.
At first, Pink Chrysanthemum only accepted female disciples, such as the famous actresses Chen Baozhu and Shen Zhihua, who were her apprentices; it was only around 1962 that she began to accept male disciples, and Qian Yuesheng, Lin Zhengying, and Dong Wei also had the honor of worshipping her as a teacher. For the apprentices, Pink Chrysanthemum was very severe, her disciples were often beaten by her, and Meng Hai was even more unable to stand it and conspired with other brothers to escape, for which Pink Chrysanthemum had to be kind to persuade, and when they returned, it was a more severe beating.
It is precisely with the attitude of "strict teachers and high disciples" that Pink Chrysanthemum has cultivated a batch of high-ranking disciples who will be surprised in the entertainment circle in the future, such as Chen Baozhu, Shen Zhihua, Lin Zhengying, Dong Wei, Meng Hai, Zhong Fa, Yang Panpan, etc., of course, including Qian Yuesheng.
Qian Yuesheng was one of the first male apprentices to enter the Spring and Autumn Drama School, and had already entered the entertainment circle in the 1960s, and after joining Shaw, he filmed with luo Wei and other directors.
Because of his solid kung fu foundation, Qian Yuesheng mainly served as a martial arts instructor after entering the entertainment industry, and often made cameos in movies. Later, at the invitation of Hong Jinbao, Qian Yuesheng, Lin Zhengying, Dong Wei, Zhong Fa and other brothers joined the "Hongjia Class" and became the backbone of the "Hongjia Class", and with their help, the "HongjiaBan" could stand shoulder to shoulder with the "Liu Jiaban" and so on, becoming the mainstay of kung fu films.
Qian Yuesheng has acted in nearly a hundred films, most of which appear in supporting roles, but the most well-known is the spiritual kung fu film he starred in.
In 1984, Qian Yuesheng, Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei starred together in "People Scared Ghosts", as one of the "Ghosts Fight Ghosts" series, the film still combines ghost and kung fu comedy elements. Qian Yuesheng plays the unlucky Teochew ghost in the film, who is not only bullied by the ghost king in the underworld, but also bullied by people in the yang. In the film, Lin Zhengying has not yet officially become a "zombie Dao Leader" with advanced Daofa, and it is with the help of Chaozhou ghosts that he has the opportunity to eliminate the ghost king.
After the fire of "Mr. Zombie", "Zombie Rebirth" starring Qian Yuesheng, Qian Xiaohao, Wang Xiaofeng and Zhong Fa in 1986 came into being.
As a follow-up work of "Mr. Zombie", the film is also remarkable. In the film, Qian Yuesheng's "Dao Chief" image was formally formed, and he fought with Zhong Fa and did not show weakness, but had the potential to win.
In the same year, Qian Yuesheng and Wang Xiaofeng cooperated in the sequel to "Zombie Rebirth", "Everyone Gets Rich".
Compared with the previous work, the quality of "Everyone Gets Rich" has dropped a lot, but fortunately, Wang Xiaofeng's female ghost is still amazing, and Qian Yuesheng's Dao Commander also responded to the sentence "Self-inflicted sins, do not live" and was killed by zombies.
In the "Qiannu Returns the Soul" cooperated with Qian Xiaohao and Li Dianxin, Qian Yuesheng finally played a righteous Taoist. Qian Xiaohao in the film naturally became his apprentice, and the two of them worked together to bring the evil way to justice.
The film is actually directed by Qian Yuesheng, the quality is not satisfactory, but in today's era of lack of ghost films, it can still be seen.
In 1992, Qian Yuesheng cooperated with Zhong Fa again in "Gambler", which integrated ghost films with gambling films, but unfortunately the special effects were poor and the production was rough, but it was good that Qian Yuesheng, Zhong Fa and Cao Charlie these old drama bones supported the scene. In the film, Qian Yuesheng plays the ghost king, and Zhong Fa is a kind little ghost.
In 1998, Qian Yuesheng once again played an evil ghost in the horror film "Face Qingqing with Fright", which cooperated with Hao Shaowen, which is also the only ghost film hao Shaowen has acted in so far.
In 1995, Qian Yuesheng starred with Lin Zhengying in "Zombie Road Chief", in which he played the evil man Qian Dazhong, who played the tiger, and helped Yang Feiyun and Western zombies do a lot of bad things.
In addition, Qian Yuesheng also made cameo appearances in films such as "Man Ghost God", "One Eyebrow Dao Long", "People Scary", "Raising Ghost Boy" and so on.
As a martial arts director, Qian Yuesheng has designed actions for dozens of films, the most famous of which are "Provincial Hong Kong Flag Soldier", "Zombie Rebirth", "Hell Without Doors", "Heroes Without Tears" and "Demon Road".
Of course, Qian Yuesheng is also an excellent director, and the classic ghost films "People Scared Ghosts", "People Ghosts and Gods" and "Ghost Hunting and Family Fun" are his works.
"Ghost Hunting and Family Fun" and "Man Ghost God" have the same style, people, ghosts, zombies and other elements are combined, as well as more avant-garde high-tech. In the film, we see loyal ghost servants, we see domineering copper-armored zombies, and we can also see novel high-tech products.
There are many funny elements in the whole film, and the husband and wife fighting spirit, the brothers and sisters of the green plum bamboo horse, and the ghost servants make trouble bring a funny feast. "Ghost Hunting and Family Fun" revived the zombie films that have been poor in the years since "Mr. Zombie", and launched the first shots of zombie movies in the 1990s, and it seems that the film is still a classic.
And "Man Ghost God" and "Man Scared Ghost" needless to say, they have long been widely known because of the appearance of Mr. Lin Zhengying, and are regarded as classics by fans.
Qian Yuesheng appears as a villain in the film because of his fierce appearance, either a ghost or a vicious way; and he himself is good at kung fu, often taking the rigid route, which makes a deep impression.
And because Qian Yuesheng often appears in the form of supporting roles or cameos in front of the stage, few people know his name, and his fame is not as good as Lin Zhengying, Zhong Fa and others. Despite this, Qian Yuesheng is still a powerful drama bone. In the late 1990s, Qian Yuesheng rarely had any new news. In today's era of lack of psychic zombie movies, it is more and more nostalgic for the Hong Kong film era when the "ghost catcher" and "ghost prevalence" were once full of spirits.
