Hong Jinbao also did not expect that in 1988, when he made "Uncle Zombie", his old brother Lin Zhengying was unwilling to star
Lin Zhengying was a member of Hong Jinbao's Hong family class very early, and the "Mr. Zombie" of that year was also produced by Hong Jinbao, who invested money in the crowd, and the production company was Hong Jinbao's Baohe Film Company
"Mr. Zombie" unexpectedly became popular, opening the glory of Hong Kong zombie movies
Hong Kong filmmakers like to follow the trend the most, Liu Zhenwei is even more of a wizard, and also began to produce the "Fierce Ghost Mission" series, the box office began to compete with "Mr. Zombie", at this time Hong Jinbao wanted to shoot "Uncle Zombie" and "Fierce Ghost Mission" to fight
Hong Jinbao directly called liu Guanwei, the director of "Mr. Zombie", to direct "Uncle Zombie", but he did not expect that Uncle Ying was unwilling to star in "Uncle Zombie", and also took away Qian Xiaohao, Wu Junru, Lou Nanguang and other "Mr. Zombie"
It turned out that Uncle Ying at that time had already taken the lead and established the Dalu Film Company
And began to prepare for the first movie "One Eyebrow Daoren", Uncle Ying also wanted to be a director for the first time, Uncle Ying had already seen the results of the zombie film flocking up, thinking that zombie films must be innovative, resulting in "One Eyebrow Daoren" filming for a whole year, the delay in the shooting schedule made Uncle Ying unable to pull out to play "Uncle Zombie"
Hong Jinbao is really a big brother and doesn't care at all
Began to think of his own way, Uncle Ying did not come, he let Uncle Ying's disciple Zhong Fa play the Head of the Thousand Cranes, Qian Xiaohao had no schedule, he let his brother Qian Jiale play the apprentice of the gas bag, and the golden supporting roles of Noon Ma and Yuanhua were on call
Originally, Uncle Ying wanted to play the four-eyed Daoist chief, and Hong Jinbao invited Chen You, who had a cold smile
Interestingly, "Uncle Zombie" started after, but the production was very fast, it was released in 1988, the box office sold more than 14 million, and Uncle Ying spent his efforts on "One Eyebrow Dao Man" because it was produced for more than a year, but it was released in 1989, and the box office was only more than 11 million, to know that the cost of "One Eyebrow Road Man" can be much higher than "Uncle Zombie"
"Uncle Zombie" follows the path of traditional zombie film fighting methods, but adds a lot of comedy elements
And "One Eyebrow Road Man" Uncle Ying subverted the settings of many traditional zombie films, and even the villains became Western vampires, although this setting was accepted and continued by many movies later, but the audience did not pay at that time
After that, Uncle Ying filmed innovative zombie films such as "Exorcist Cop" and "Exorcist", but unfortunately the box office is getting worse and worse
"Uncle Zombie" has become one of the few classics in the later stages of zombie films
