We all know that the 25-year-old Tan Yonglin is a superstar of the Hong Kong music industry, and we also know that the artists of that era are mostly song and film amphibious development, and indeed have seen many movies starring Tan Yonglin, but not necessarily Tan Yonglin is actually very good at acting, as early as 1981, he won the Best Actor of taiwan's Golden Horse Awards, when he was only 31 years old. [Tan Yonglin won the 18th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards in 1981 with the feature film "If I Were True", while Andy Lau was 39 years old when he won the first Film Award in 2000, Liu Qingyun's first film emperor was 43 years old, and Gu Tianle's first film emperor was 48 years old, and his film road was smoother than many people. 】
The films starring Tan Yonglin, in addition to "The Tale of Two Cities", which made Zeng Zhiwei the film emperor of the Academy Awards, are mostly comedy movies, including "The Best Partner's Drunken Street Partner", "Huang Feihong's Laughter", "Guangdong Five Tigers' Iron Fist Invincible Sun Yat-sen", "Fat Powder Double Male", "Supreme Ji Zhuangyuancai", "Rich And Noble Corps", "Best Lucky Star", "Eight Joys Linmen", "Wishing you prosperity" and so on, which are also very in line with his funny and happy personality. In fact, in the early years, he also made some ghost films like "Little Fear", but this is still quite relaxed and happy, there is a ghost film "Yin and Yang Wrong" released in 1983, which is more supernatural than comedy, especially the filming process of this movie, accidents and coincidences continue, making people think of panic. [After 1983, Tam Yonglin stopped starring in such films, and I don't know if she was influenced by this film.] 】
"Yin and Yang Mistake" is directed by Lin Lingdong, starring Tan Yonglin and Ni Shujun, co-starring Ye Tong, Chen Xinjian, Dong Biao, Lou Nanguang, Deng Biyun, Tian Feng, etc., produced by Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, produced by Mai Jia, planned by Shi Nansheng, screenwriters Gao Zhisen, Lu Jian, Feng Shixiong, and the story Huang Baiming. It was released in Hong Kong on December 15, 1983, and at the box office was HK$14.1 million, ranking 6th in the year, 4 million more than Hong Jinbao's "Scary People". This achievement was very good in that year, and it was the main market in Taiwan that year, and the harvest in Taiwan was even more abundant. The idea of "Yin and Yang Mistake" comes from Huang Baiming, once when he visited the grave, he saw a photo of a woman on an unknown tombstone in the cemetery, the woman looked very beautiful, but suddenly saw a chill behind Huang Baiming. That night, Huang Baiming tossed and turned in bed, remembering the situation in the cemetery, and conceived a romantic and poignant story of ghost love. When I was ready to make a movie, I remembered playing disc fairy when I was a child, and I thought of putting this thing into the story, so I had the final idea of "Yin and Yang Mistake".
In those years, Taiwan's funds were the main force of Hong Kong film investment, and many filmmakers went to Taiwan to develop at that time, and Tan Yonglin's film "If You Are True" was produced by Taiwan Film Company. After that, the new art city films supported by the big financial lords sprung up, and the largest investment of "Best Partner" won the annual box office championship in the record, while the small-budget "Difficult Brothers" and "Little Afraid" won the 3rd and 6th respectively, these two films are a Tan Yonglin cameo and a starring role. Since this time, Tam Wing Lin has also officially returned to Hong Kong, and has developed rapidly in the double-line film industry in the music world, and has successively starred in a number of new art city films, "Yin and Yang Mistake" is the second part, and the theme song and soundtrack of this film are based on his masterpiece "Phantom".
Tan Yonglin sang the theme song "Phantom", which was not yet released at the time, and this song was ignored; when Tan Yonglin released the album "Late Spring", it was ranked last on the second side, a completely unappreciated position. Later, "Yin and Yang Mistake" was very popular when it was released, many audiences liked this song very much, Poly Gold Records released the record "Mist Love", putting "Phantom" in the first main position, the result sold a full house, and also won the Top Ten Golden Melody Award, becoming an important representative work of Tan Yonglin. After that, Tan Yonglin became the supreme emperor in the song world, but became more and more general in the film world, I don't know if it is also because of "Yin and Yang Wrong".
At the end of 1982, when New Art City was preparing for this romantic and poignant film "Yin and Yang Wrong", director Liang Puzhi was in the casting process, and the heroine was ready to use a new face to play the cute female ghost Zhang Xiaoyu in the movie. At the age of just 18, Maggie Cheung, who had not yet participated in the Hong Kong sister contest when she returned to Hong Kong from the United Kingdom, ran to the new art city office building alone to audition as the heroine; director Liang Puzhi also returned from the United Kingdom, and Maggie Cheung was quite chatty, but in the end, taking into account the factors of the Taiwan market, Maggie Cheung was not selected, but chose Ni Shujun, a newcomer from Taiwan. Ni Shujun was only 16 years old at the time, "Yin and Yang Mistake" was her first film; Ni Shujun became popular because of this film, and it is still her masterpiece, and she herself was positioned and stayed in Hong Kong to develop because of this film, and many of the subsequent films were starred in female ghosts, such as "Yiren Goodbye", "Ghost Informant", "Little Fox Fairy", "Baby Spirit", "Atai's Purple Micro Life Disk" and so on. [At that time, Ni Shujun's temperament and potential were not inferior to Maggie Cheung, especially the temperament was very suitable for this role; Maggie Cheung also starred in "Happy Ghost 3" after that, but later the achievements of the two were very different. 】
"Yin and Yang Mistake" was originally a commercial film promoted by the new art city in the Taiwan market, and at that time Taiwan was also popular with a handsome young student and romantic love story such as Tan Yonglin; using Tan Yonglin, who had just won the Golden Horse Award, and a Taiwanese girl as the male and female protagonists, Yang Dechang from Taiwan served as the director and screenwriter, indicating the attitude of the new art city. As a result, the script and shooting plan made by Yang Dechang were repeatedly rejected by the decision-making level of New Art City, especially later, the director of "Happy Ghost", Gao Zhisen, advocated overturning the original work, rewriting it himself, and the director was also replaced. According to the heroine Ni Shujun recalled, "Yin and Yang Mistake" changed a total of 5 directors, used 7 photographers, and finally Lin Lingdong completed the shooting of this film, and the final signature was also him. Lin Lingdong graduated from the wireless artist training class in 1973, went to Canada to study film production after a few years of mixing in television, and joined New Art City after returning to Hong Kong, which was his film directorial debut, and the result was also a hit, but unfortunately he died in the last few days of 2018. [Lou Nanguang, Gao Zhisen, Chen Yuezhong, Wu Hanqiang are named assistant directors, and the photographers are Huang Zhongbiao, Tang Baosheng, Zhong Zhiwen, Lin Yadu, Liang Zhiming, Chen Junjie, Huang Yuetai, Lin Huitai. 】
The original title of "Yin and Yang Mistake" is "Human Ghost Love", the movie is about the ghost of the insurance broker played by Tan Yonglin and the girl who accidentally fell off the building, and the story of long-term love but finally the eternal separation of heaven and man is considered to be a Hong Kong-made "Man Ghost Love". The scene that led to the story, Tan Yonglin and her friends played disc immortals at home, the girl fell to her death that night, Tan Yonglin accurately asked on the disc xiantai, Zhang Xiaoyu's name and home address, and the next day to the company one by one. However, after the start of filming of "Yin and Yang", accidents continued, and the cast members were injured or sick one after another, and many of them were night scenes, which made the entire crew panic. New Art City believes that the title of the film has not been counted as a stroke, and asked the master to re-check the stroke and rename it "Yin and Yang Mistake". The director of the initial planning was Liang Puzhi, and finally changed to Lin Lingdong, and then the title was changed from "Wonderful" to "Yin and Yang Wrong". The most bizarre thing is that during the filming, the wives of 5 crew members were pregnant, and then they all miscarried at the same time.
By this year, "Yin and Yang Mistake" has been released for 36 years, the director is gone, the female protagonist has been in the film for many years, and even the New Art City film that produced it has been closed for more than 20 years, only the male protagonist Tan Yonglin has occasionally held concerts. [In the film, Dong Biao, Tian Feng and other old predecessors also passed away for many years, but the cameo Lou Nanguang later acted in many ghost films, and in recent years he is still insisting. 】
