How much do you know about these behind-the-scenes knowledge of the movie? Due to the success of Mr. Zombie, the entire Hong Kong film market rushed to shoot zombie-themed films that year, and the result was mostly bad films, resulting in audiences being very disgusted with traditional Maoshan zombie films. As a result, Jiahe Film Company produced this spiritual zombie film Yimei Daoren. The film has a lot of untold behind-the-scenes stories.
First, this movie is actually a self-directed and self-acting work of Uncle Ying, and because of this, there is no time to participate in the shooting of another movie, and the god work that is missed is called Uncle Zombie.
Second, a brow Ofo people have been shooting for more than a year, Uncle Ying has high requirements for this movie, the executive of the set works no less than 8 hours a day, in order to perform the scene of surrendering basho essence, he also specially planted a banana tree, built a high platform with heavy wood, and finally the cost exceeded 10 million, but the movie box office was only more than 11 million, barely returning to the cost. Therefore, Lin Zhengying has not been a director for five years.
Third, the scene of surrendering basho essence is very classic, and the basho is exquisite and moving, leaving a deep impression on the audience. Many netizens are curious about who the actor who plays Basho Jing is, her real name is called Ye Zhuo, but she is not an actress, maybe she just found a passerby to perform.
Fourth, there is a little nun in the movie who plays a young nun named Jian Huizhen, who is a rich family in real life, the eldest daughter of the major shareholder of Hong Kong's Luk Fook Jewelry, and later quit the entertainment industry to do business.
Fifth, there is a fat nun in the movie who is impressive, this person is not small, her real name is Maria Cordero, is a pop singer in the 80s of the last century, was invited by US President Clinton to attend an awards party, and co-hosted the defense of Hong Kong with Chen Baixiang in 2019.
Sixth, I believe that the audience who has seen the movie is deeply impressed by the little zombie inside, and the actor who plays this role is called Lin Zhenghong, and it is rumored that he is Uncle Ying's cousin. But in fact, Lin Zhenghong is only his stage name, his real name is Zhang Yuli, and he was only 5 years old when he starred in this movie. Later, few works gradually disappeared from the audience's sight.
Seventh, this combination of Chinese and Western zombie theme movie, the idea is not Lin Zhengying came up with, but borrowed from the creativity of a movie in the 70s, Seven Golden Corpses, when the Seven Golden Corpses boldly combined vampires and Maoshan Daoist techniques, the result was that because of too many things, the box office was not strong, and I did not expect to carry it forward here in Uncle Ying. Although the box office is not strong, the film has been a success.
