#Film and television miscellaneous talk# Lin Zhengying, who became famous in the first battle with "Zombie S Road Chief", was officially promoted to the originator of Zombie S films.
The Taoist hat and peach wood sword are his standard. It is said that the shooting of supernatural G films in those years had to be in accordance with traditional customs, and a shooting ceremony was held before the start of filming, cutting and burning pigs to worship the gods and Buddhas, and the tribute to worship must be singular, such as fruits and biscuits. When worshiping, you must be sincere, and you must not be inconsistent and dismissive.
It is said that it is forbidden to talk about topics such as G God during filming, so as not to offend the gods and get into trouble.
Before Lin Zhengying filmed Mr. Zombie, he also specially invited some feng shui masters to check the feng shui situation of the filming location, and would spend a lot of time on various feng shui layouts, in order to avoid some vain disasters.
When shooting some abandoned buildings or deep mountains and old forests, if the feng shui master feels that it is not suitable, he will take some artificial exteriors, and it is said that the shooting time should be accurate to the second, in order to be at ease.
There are still many rules for shooting supernatural movies, and the actors who play G or S people in the play, the director team will send them red envelopes, in order to remove some unnecessary obscurity. It doesn't matter how much money it is.
After the filming is over, the director also shouts cards loudly, so that the actors can quickly withdraw from the characters in the play.
Lin Zhengying is the pioneer of Chinese film supernatural films, and in every movie he participates in, he can see the aura of a generation of grandmasters, and his excellent acting skills are popular throughout China and even Southeast Asia.
In the end, Lin Zhengying died on November 8, 1997 in St. Teresa Hospital at the age of 45.
There are many opinions about his S. Some people say that because he made a lot of G movies during his lifetime, he was punished. Later, the details of his cause of death were exposed, and he was overworked and usually loved to drink, and he was caused by liver cancer under double pressure.
According to media reports at the time, "Lin Zhengying refused to see anyone, including his children, before his death, not even his old partner Sammo Hung, who had worked with him for many years, and his brother Zun Long." He said that his illness was terrifying, and he was afraid of scaring others.
After Lin Zhengying's death, his family held a very sensational funeral for him, and the Buddhist ceremony was chosen for his funeral, which made people look a little "weird". This should also be related to his daily work, knowing what kind of role he plays, and it will make people feel afraid when they think about it.
At the funeral, Sammo Hung cried extremely sadly, because since Sammo Hung opened the company. The first he promoted was Lin Zhengying, who partnered with him for half his life.
At Lin Zhengying's funeral, there were many surprising places, which until now have been a mystery. It is said that on the day of Lin Zhengying's funeral, a group of black butterflies flew in the spiritual hall, and these butterflies seemed to have come to see them off in advance, until Lin Zhengying's coffin was covered, these black butterflies flew away and never appeared in front of everyone's eyes again.
At that time, many people thought that it was not who sprayed the perfume at the funeral, so it attracted flocks of butterflies, but after investigation, it was found that none of the guests who attended the funeral that day had sprayed perfume on their bodies, and this matter has become the biggest mystery at the funeral.
What is even more strange is that Lin Zhengying specially explained before his death, hoping that his funeral could be held with Taoist specifications, after all, he played a real Taoist priest in the zombie S movie, but many people at the scene were surprised to find that this was obviously a Buddhist ritual funeral, but in the face of doubts from the outside world, Lin Zhengying's family was always unwilling to respond positively to this matter.
It is also said that all the directors or actors involved in the shooting of weird movies do not live to be 50 years old, coincidentally, the two screenwriters of "Mr. Zombie S", Huang Ying and Huang Bingyao, died before the age of 50, and even a generation of ghost queen Wang Xiaofeng became insane after filming the movie, and Lin Zhengying died at the age of 45, these coincidences seem to confirm the truth of this sentence.
Lam Ching-ying's untimely death is a loss for the supernatural film industry, and his departure marks the end of the golden age of Hong Kong film classics.
It has been decades since Lin Zhengying's death, but his movies have grown up with many people, and his classics have not been surpassed so far, let us always remember "Zombie S Road Chief" - Lin Zhengying!
