Lin Zhengying filmed Mr. Zombie during the strange things
After the filming, the three died early and many went crazy
So what happened during the filming
He died in his prime
Why refuse to see your children before you die?
The word zombie first came from the Taoist book "The Great Thousand Records", which refers to the so-called zombies. The head is not low, the eyes are not oblique, the legs are not divided, the limbs are stiff and the body does not decompose.
Uncle Ying, who became famous with the zombie Road Chief, can be said to be the originator of zombie movies in supernatural movies, and unconsciously his movies are still played on the screen, and non-traditional horror films that integrate comedy and horror have also made countless people like this kind of movie.
Uncle Ying's Taoist hat and peach wood sword have also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they can also be regarded as the childhood memories of a generation. However, it is said that during Lin Zhengying's filming of "Mr. Zombie", many incredible strange things happened, is this true or false?
The most frightening thing about this fire-fighting supernatural film is that its screenwriters Huang Ying and Huang Bingyao, as well as the actors Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying in the film, died one by one, and Lin Zhengying and Xu Guanying both died on November 8. Such a coincidence is like a predestined providence...
Hong Kong filming has always worshipped ghosts and gods, which may be related to hong Kong people's belief in "one life, two luck, three feng shui", which is why there are many urban horror legends in Hong Kong.
As an indispensable part of Hong Kong cinema, spiritual films are based on classical Chinese ghost culture, and although they are mysterious and mysterious (ɡuǐ) when telling ghost stories, they are often inseparable from the actual human nature.
During the filming of Mr. Zombie that year, in accordance with the traditional customs and rules, before shooting, he cut and burned pigs to worship the gods and buddhas of heaven and earth, which was mainly to greet the land gong and the "cow ghost snake gods" around him.
The number of offerings prepared during the worship, such as fruits, biscuits and chicken legs, must be singular, as well as simple rice bowls, the most important thing is that the worship must be sincere and cannot be superficially respectful and dismissive.
In addition, during the filming, for topics such as ghosts and gods, it is best to avoid talking about them, so as not to offend the gods and cause trouble.
It is said that before filming "Mr. Zombie", in order to avoid some senseless disasters, Lin Zhengying will also invite some well-known feng shui masters to check whether the feng shui situation of the filming site is suitable for shooting, and even spend a lot of time on various feng shui arrangements.
Especially some old buildings that have been abandoned for many years, or deep mountains and old forests where few people have set foot, if the feng shui master thinks that the venue is not suitable, Lin Zhengying will ask for artificial installation, and even the start time must be accurate to the second, the purpose of this is just to seek peace of mind.
Not only that, if there is an accident in the filming process, then the venue can not be used again, because in the eyes of the Hong Kong people, once an accident occurs, it means that the owner of the place has been disturbed, so after the crew evacuates, it is necessary to respectfully perform the incense sacrifice ceremony in situ.
Because there are many actors in the supernatural movie, playing ghosts or dead people, for ordinary people, it is still somewhat obscure, so in order to make them feel more comfortable, the director and the crew will give them red envelopes, the number of which is not important, mainly for the sake of auspiciousness.
The last point is essential that after the shooting, the director shouts the card, and the purpose of this is to allow the actors to quickly detach themselves from the roles in the play. Because before that, there were many incidents of evil in the spirit film industry, and worshipping ghosts and gods was a consistent tradition of Hong Kong people.
Is Lin Zhengying's death related to the filming of ghost films, how to explain the strange things when Uncle Ying died, and qiongdan of the former Red Face Garden is still afraid after recalling it...
In 1997, Lin Zhengying, who was only 45 years old, died of liver cancer, and because he did not want everyone to see his sick face, he told his relatives and friends not to visit him until he only had one month left.
For a long time after Lin Zhengying's death, the outside world once spread that there was another hidden plot behind the mystery of his death.
Why did a dao chief who has been fighting against zombies for a long time in the movie die in his career? Is this related to Lin Zhengying's long-term shooting of zombie films?
Nowadays, horror movies are no longer the mainstream theme of Chinese films, but Uncle Ying and his "Zombie Daochang" are an important past that Hong Kong movies must not fail to mention. At that time, many people knew that Lin Zhengying's shooting was very particular about rules, which was because Hong Kong and Taiwan stars generally respected ghosts and gods.
The role of Lin Zhengying in front of the screen is a classic, and the love affair between Lin Zhengying and Sister Pomegranate behind the screen is also eye-catching.
Years later, Yuàn Qiongdan mentioned Lin Zhengying and could not help revealing a strange incident of that year.
On the morning of Lin Zhengying's death, Yuan Qiongdan had made an appointment with her friend to go out, but when she walked to the door, she was suddenly dizzy, and the bottom of her feet fluttered lightly, as if she did not have a little strength, so she returned to her home and lay down to rest.
It was also during this time that she dreamed of Lin Zhengying saying goodbye to herself. After waking up, when she was worried about the innocence of this dream, she happened to have a phone call to tell him the news of Lin Zhengying's death.
Yuan Qiongdan was completely confused, and did not know how to be good when standing in the same place. Because she did not have a cold and fever before going out, as soon as she went out, she suddenly felt unwell, and after sleeping and having a dream, everything returned to its original state. Except for Lin Zhengying saying goodbye to himself in the dream, there was no other special thing happening, was this the destiny in the underworld?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and then rushed to the Spirit Hall as a surviving person to bid farewell to Lin Zhengying's last journey.
And the next day when the funeral came out, many groups of black butterflies flew from the funeral site, flying up and down around Lin Zhengying's coffin, which made everyone present feel incredible.
According to legend, Lin Zhengying was born in the drama team. He once studied at the Spring and Autumn Drama Academy of the famous Peking Opera artist "Pink Chrysanthemum", and studied with a Peking Opera troupe in Hong Kong. Lin Zhengying studied martial arts, was talented and willing to endure hardships, and became brothers with Hong Jinbao after not fighting or knowing each other.
During the period, when he came out to go to the toilet one night, Lin Zhengying accidentally stepped on a bottle in the corner of the hut next to the hut, and the movement alarmed the whole courtyard, but the master had a new understanding of this hairy boy, and since then he has looked at him differently, specifically teaching him Maoshan Taoist techniques and various martial arts, laying the groundwork for Lin Zhengying to star in "Mr. Zombie".
Before his death, the master repeatedly told him that these secret techniques taught to him could only be used to protect himself and never let him use them to make money, but Lin Zhengying did not seem to put this sentence on his body, but began to visit some well-known "warlocks" to ask them for advice, learn the knowledge and theories of Xuanmen, and use them to make movies and TV dramas.
However, folk say that Lin Zhengying died early because filming ghost films is not scientific, because Lin Zhengying usually loves to drink, and often works day and night in order to shoot, which is the reason why he died in his prime.
The era of Hong Kong's zombie films shined because of him, and with his end, the booming Hong Kong zombie movies no longer had the glory of the past...
Lin Zhengying, who starred in "Uncle Nine" in "Mr. Zombie", once spent more than a month in the wilderness during filming, although there was no "collision" incident similar to Feng Baobao's "Miss Spirit", but as the saying goes: often walk by the river Where there are not wet shoes.
Looking back at the encounters of Mr. Zombie's main creators, as well as the supernatural events circulating on the Internet when Lin Zhengying died, I have to think more about it, whether it is nonsense or providence in the underworld, I believe that everyone has different answers in their hearts.
In the more than two decades since the release of "Mr. Zombie", the screenwriters Wong BingYao and Huang Ying seem to be cursed.
One of them became one of the most important screenwriters of Hong Kong films, and even Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai, who were famous in the entertainment industry, received his guidance and promotion. But in his forties, he suddenly suffered a heart attack and died in a foreign country.
Another because of writing more ghost films and supernatural novels, deeply loved by the majority of audiences and the media, was praised by Zeng Zhiwei as the "ghost king", but also could not escape the doom of short life, in order to film he was confused for a while to borrow usury, and finally was seriously injured by the creditor, because there was no money for treatment, he could only wait for death at home until the body was moldy.
What is even more coincidental is that the death of these two screenwriters is only one year apart, and both died less than fifty, which was only six or seven years after the release of "Mr. Zombie".
Not only that, Wang Xiaofeng, who is known as the "ghost queen" for starring in "Mr. Zombie", has shined in supernatural films since her debut, and because of her personal conditions and excellent acting skills, her female ghost image is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then she won the crown of the Hong Kong Academy Awards.
In addition to the masterpiece "Mr. Zombie", she also starred in thrillers such as "The Ghost Out of the Cage", as well as "Ghost Bride", and later she moved to the United States with her husband after getting married, but I don't know if it was too deep into the drama, Wang Xiaofeng suffered from manic depression, and her spirit also began to trance, and when she was serious, she also had serious suicidal tendencies.
Later, in order to let her receive better treatment, her husband sent her to the hospital, but this behavior made Wang Xiaofeng more resistant, and once almost killed her husband, fortunately, under the regular treatment, and her husband's continuous prayer to god and Buddha, her condition finally improved.
Xu Guanying, a disciple of Uncle Nine in "Mr. Zombie", although he often plays a humble grassroots small person in the movie, he has not escaped the disaster in real life.
Although Hui Guanying won the Best Supporting Actor at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards for this role in this film, he was also the first actor to reject the Nomination of the Academy Awards, when Hui Guanying thought he should be the protagonist of the film, and the Academy Awards were awarded to him as a supporting actor, so he refused to accept the award.
Since then, in the many ghost films starring Lin Zhengying since then, Xu Guanying has not wanted to be just a green leaf, so he did not continue to participate in the starring role, until seven years later, he continued his master-apprentice relationship with Uncle Ying.
What is more coincidental is that no matter how the two have a personal relationship, the date of Xu Guanying's death is Lin Zhengying's death day, and he has been living alone with heart disease in his later years, until one day he was discovered by the police who broke into the door, suspected of sudden heart attack and sudden death at home, and when the body has produced corpse spots, people are shocked to realize that the day of his death is exactly the day of the 14th anniversary of Lin Zhengying's death.
Maybe everything is just a coincidence, maybe everything is not a coincidence...
