Huang Fu glutinous rice is still there today, and the ghost catchers of that year are not seen. Speaking of the classic movies of the Hong Kong film circle that year, in addition to the impressive gu puzzle boy and police gangster films, there is also a theme that is also popular, that is, the Mr. Zombie series starring Lin Zhengying is still the leader in horror films, even now it can make everyone enjoy watching.
It is said that Lin Zhengying made four rules when he made a movie, several of which are still in use in the film and television circles, so let's take a look at it together. Speaking of Lin Zhengying, he should also be a household name, he was born in Hong Kong in 1952, his original name was Lin Genbao, and later changed his name to Lin Zhengying under the guidance of Mr. Suan Gua. Because there are many brothers and sisters in the family and they are very poor, Lin Zhengying was sent to the opera class to learn to sing at a very young age, that is, at that time, he met his best friend Hong Jinbao. At the age of 17, in order to make a living, Lin Zhengying had worked as an actor and stand-in in the crew, and since then he has begun to grope in the film circle, and in 1971, he worked as a work director in Jiahe Film, becoming Bruce Lee's right hand man. It is said that only Lin Zhengying was present at that time. Bruce Lee will officially start construction, and then Hong Jinbao set up Hong Jia Bao, as a good friend Lin Zhengying was naturally pulled in, and once won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Action Direction. At that time, everyone thought that Lin Zhengying would become a generation of action stars, but what everyone did not expect was that Lin Zhengying quickly became popular in Southeast Asia with the Mr. Zombie series of movies, opening up a legendary road.
The release of Mr. Zombie in 1985 quickly caused a wave of zombie films in the Hong Kong film industry. Speaking of Maoshan Daoists, what comes to mind is the image of Lin Zhengying, a Bagua robe, holding a peach wood sword, white eyebrows, white beard, and fairy wind Dao bone have become the inherent impression of Lin Zhengying. However, zombie movies are different from normal movies after all, so Lin Zhengying once set four rules on the set when shooting.
When Lin Zhengying filmed some zombie films, he made four provisions that seemed very strange to the parties, first of all, the first stipulation was that a zodiac auspicious day must be chosen at the start of the movie, which has actually become an unwritten rule in today's film and television circles, and every time the movie starts, a boot will be held. You're begging for a good head. The second is that the location where the film is filmed should also pay great attention, because of the particularity of the subject matter, so the choice of venue will also be particularly cautious. Before each movie starts, Lin Zhengying will first go to the scene to check the feng shui, the old building that has not been lived for too long is not filmed, and the old forest in the deep mountains is not filmed, on the one hand, because of some traditional reasons, on the other hand, it can also reduce the psychological burden of the actors. The dilapidated old houses we see in the movies are usually the soundstages built by the crew. The third and most important one is that after each shot is finished, be sure to shout at him, which every actor must abide by. Because in the process of filming, many actors will appear to be too deep into the scene, especially this kind of supernatural theme, which is a very big test for the actor's emotions. Shouting after filming allows the actors to distinguish between the inside and outside of the play. There is also an interesting point that some actors who play zombies will still stand there without moving after shouting, and some people quipped that it is likely that Ah Piao is too absorbed and attaches to the actor, of course, this is just a joke. In addition, the last rule is that the actors must be protected.
Unfortunately, in November 1997, the 54-year-old Lin Zhengying passed away, and after his death, Hong Kong's zombie films gradually declined, but the films he left behind became indelible memories in people's hearts
