80, the most brilliant movies in Hong Kong in the 1990s were zombie movies and comedy movies. Comedy movies were promoted by Stephen Chow. Even today, half of the Chinese movie box office is still firmly tied to comedy movies, and zombie movies Not so lucky. In 1997, the master of zombie movies, Lam Ching-ying, died young, which caused the complete decline of zombie movies in Hong Kong. What is meant by decline is actually equivalent to what the biological world calls "extinction."
In recent years, with the development of theater movies and the rise of online movies, zombie movies, a subject that has been dusted for nearly 10 years, has been put on the agenda again. Major online movies have been titled "Tribute to Lin Ching-ying" and "Tribute to Hong Kong Films". They scrambled to take pictures under the banner of ", and in the end they made money. Unfortunately, they were all shoddy Internet hodgepodges. They were more of a waste than a tribute. This made netizens miss Lin Zhengying's era even more. Some even lamented: After Lin Zhengying died, Zombie movies really have no successor!
So are there really no successors to zombie movies? We might as well think optimistically. Although Master Lin has passed away long ago, Wu Ma and Xu Guanying have also passed away, but most of the partners who made zombie movies with Lin Zhengying are still there. So who can carry this banner of revival? ?
Qian Xiaohao, although Qian Xiaohao looks old now and his skills are not as good as before, he is still the best candidate for "reviving zombie movies" in the eyes of netizens, because he is "Qiu Sheng, the direct disciple of Lin Zhengying".
Time is fleeting. When he was at his peak, Qian Xiaohao was banned due to personal life issues. Now that he has come back, things have changed. Although Qian Xiaohao has also been determined to carry the banner of revival in recent years, he is just powerless and has made many zombie-type Internet movies. The final quality of the film is worrisome.
Of course, Qian Xiaohao is not the only apprentice in Lin Zhengying's movie. People other than Qian Xiaohao may also be able to carry this banner.
Lu Fang is also an apprentice who often appears in Lam Ching-ying's zombie movies. He has performed well in "One Eyebrow Taoist Master" and " Mr. Phantom ". As an important member of Lam Ching-ying's films, his status is second only to Qian Xiaohao and the late Xu Guanying. .
Lou Nanguang , although Lou Nanguang has only played the role of Lin Zhengying's apprentice in "Mr. Phantom", but obviously, no one will question Lou Nanguang's god-like existence in Lin Zhengying's zombie movie. As a gold medal supporting role, Lou Nanguang also You can carry this banner.
Meng Hai (right in the picture above), in reality, this is not Lin Zhengying's apprentice, but a fellow apprentice who studied in the same school as him. In the movie " Ghost Bite Ghost " and the later TV series " Zombie Taoist Master 2 "" played the role of Lin Zhengying's apprentice, but he is not only an actor, but also a very famous martial arts instructor and director.
Yin Tianzhao , I wonder if you still remember this one - Kuang Tianyou in "I Have a Date with a Zombie", who collaborated with Lin Zhengying in " Zombie Taoist 1". After Lin Zhengying's death, he also took up the zombie series for a time The work's banner has made him a smash hit, but his personality is too outspoken, which offended people and was hidden away. If Yin Tianzhao comes back and acts in a zombie movie again, will his career have a second spring?
Others such as Lin Wenlong , Wang Shuqi who plays "Zhong Bang", and Zou Zhaolong are also active in the entertainment industry. So who do you think is most likely to revive zombie movies?
Perhaps no one in this world can replace Lin Zhengying's unique zombie Taoist priest .
