Stephen Chow movies are very familiar with. You have watched them several times or more than ten times, and you will never get tired of watching them.
As for the type, there are no shortage of comedy movies, martial arts movies, ghost movies, and police and gangster movies, but in fact, he has also participated in a zombie movie "African Monk" .
"African Monk" is produced by Yongsheng Movie and Sanhe Film Company, directed by Chen Huiyi , written by Huang Bingyao , and co-starred by Lin Zhengying , Lisu , Chen Shanhe , Chen Long , was released in Hong Kong on July 5, 1991, and won a box office of 10.95 million.
Many people are puzzled that there is no scene of Stephen Chow in the movie. In fact, Stephen Chow and Ng Mengda only serve as the narration of this film , and it is the Cantonese version.
This is the only collaboration between Stephen Chow and Uncle Ninth Lam Zhengying, and it is also the only zombie film that Stephen Chow participated in. It is worth mentioning that " Bruce Lee " also came to help.
1, "world-famous" actor Li Su
Yongsheng Film Company Why did it film "African Monk" back then is inseparable from the "world-famous" actor Li Su in the movie, This film is also known as " God is also crazy 3" , and Li Su's famous work is " God is also crazy ".
Lisu is an authentic Bushman indigenous people. Before making movies, his life was very simple, just a primitive and simple safari collection.
In 1980, he was accidentally discovered by director Gamee Yuis and invited him to participate in the shooting of "God is Crazy". Although Li Su didn't understand what a movie was, his natural and generous performance left a deep impression on everyone.
and he also received a $1300 salary for html. , but because of it, he had no idea about money, the 300 US dollars in the end was blown away by the wind.
"God is also crazy" is a simple and kind movie. It sold 50 million US dollars in box office worldwide (equivalent to RMB 400 million), and Li Su has also become a "world-famous" actor.
years later, the director invited him to participate in the sequel again. At this time, he had roughly understood what money was and asked the crew for a South African rand of 500,000.
After receiving the salary, he improved his life for his family. After all, he had 3 wives and 6 children in the family.
Hong Kong filmmakers have always liked to follow the trend and took a fancy to Li Su's comedy skills, so they invited him to participate in "African Monk".
After "African Monk", Li Su participated in two Hong Kong films: " Hong Kong is also crazy " and "African Superman" .
Liu Qingyun , Carina Lau , Ye Tong , Lei Yuyang and others who have worked with him all praise him as a friendly and easy-going person.
Li Su often doesn't need to act, and it makes people feel funny when he goes to that stop. Although he has brought a lot of joy to everyone in the movie, , he doesn't like being an actor . After he played "African Superman" in 1994, he returned to his hometown.
When he returned to his hometown, he became a farmer and relied on growing crops and raising animals to support his family. Unfortunately, on July 1, 2003, Li Su died of an accident when he was looking for wood.
2, Hong Kong version of "God is Crazy"
The film is considered a hybrid of the Hong Kong magic film and the comedy film "God is Crazy". It is full of creativity. Uncle Ninth, Lin Zhengying, went to Africa for a "public expense" and was chased by a lion and rhino. He was fooled by a monkey. He was almost swallowed by a snake. He encountered a poisonous snake when he went to the toilet. He was also specially treated by a fat female indigenous residents.
Of course, as a generation of Maoshan masters, Lin Zhengying also wants to save face and has a halo of justice. uses ostrich as a mount and calls on Chinese zombies to fight against the African wizard . At the same time, he also invited Bruce Lee to go to the scene and had a big fight.
Director Chen Huiyi and Ninth Uncle Lin Zhengying were Bruce Lee's right-hand man back then. They asked Bruce Lee to make a guest appearance. I believe Brother Xiaolong would not mind either.
Unlike previous zombies, the zombies in "African Monk" are given feelings, He is just, will shed tears, and will also win glory for the country .
At the beginning, he faced the powerful wizard in Africa. He was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, but was despised by the ninth uncle Lin Zhengying and the children of the indigenous Africans.
people have to fight for a sigh of relief, let alone the zombie. The "he" with hatred beat up the African wizard, winning back the face and glory for the Chinese zombies.
At the end of the story, Uncle Jiu and the zombies helped Li Su drive away people and outsiders from other tribes, and gave each other gifts. perfectly interprets you, I respect you, .
Chen Long, who plays the role of a zombie, is not only the brother of director Chen Huiyi, but also a golden supporting role in Hong Kong movies.
in the Hong family class, He and Sammo Hung , and have participated in " Miscellaneous Boy ", " Ghost Fighting Ghost ", " Scary ", " Prodigal ", "Fang Shiyu", "Six Finger Piano Demon", etc. They are best at playing roles such as housekeepers and servants, and their appearance is full of joy and cuteness.
Another actor with a relatively low presence in the film, Chen Shanhe, has a very good background. biological father is Shaw Brothers well-known director Qin Jian (formerly known as Chen Jian ), Chu Yuan , Xie Xian , Wang Wei , Hu Yanni have been supported by him.
Mother Lin Cui (formerly known as Zeng Yi ), a well-known Hong Kong actor, who was the title of student lover at that time. After he separated from Qin Jian, he married the "one-armed sword hero" Wang Yu .
so that's all, Wang Yu is his stepfather, and his uncle is Huang Laoxie Zeng Jiang (sister is Lin Cui).
Although Chen Shanhe has a strong background, he is still lukewarm in the entertainment industry. He has collaborated with Li Lizhen for " Ghost Campus " and "Rich and Glory Again and Again", and has participated in "Three People World", "Happy Big Mac", and "Ghost Campus", but none of them have caused much response.
even made it to the music scene and released albums, but compared with sister Wang Xinping , it is far behind.
1995, his mother Lin Cui passed away, and he also faded out of the entertainment industry. His last movie was "Super Class Leader" in 1996, and there was no trace since.
3. After Lin Zhengying, there are no more zombie films
zombie films, also known as spiritual action films. In 1980, Sammo Hung created this type of film with "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" and successfully made it "break the circle".In the years after
, "People Scared" and " People Scared Ghosts " came out one after another. The next door brand New Art City also filmed the " Happy Ghosts " series, echoing each other.
Jiahe was not to be outdone. In 1985, he sold " Mr. Zombie ", which occupies the highest place in the magic action movie and is known as a monumental work.
"Mr. Zombie" not only completely made this theme popular, but also allowed Uncle Ninth Lin Zhengying to truly open up the road to zombie Taoist priests. Since then, no one in this field has been his opponent .
Follow-up Lin Zhengying starred in " Zombie Family ", " Linghuan ", "One-Brow Taoist Master", " Exorcist Police ", " Zombie Supreme ", " Exorcist Taoist Master ", " New Zombie ", " Music Zombie " and other films. Although there are innovations in Eastern Zombies vs. Western vampires and the return of Wencai to , they cannot resist the decline of zombie movies.
html There are several reasons for the loneliness of zombie films in the 190s. One is the bad shooting of Hong Kong filmmakers, and the second is the rise of other film types, such as martial arts films and Stephen Chow's comedy films.
Unyielding Uncle Nine, Lin Zhengying, began to switch to the TV circle, explore new gameplay, and wrote, directed and acted in two "Zombie Taoist Master", which achieved great success.
Just when he was about to show off his strength in the TV circle, he had a problem with his body and left us on November 8, 1997.
After Lin Zhengying, there are no more zombie movies. Qian Xiaohao + Liu Guanwei cannot carry this banner. " New Mr. Zombie 2", " Linghuan Master ", "Mr. Four-Minute", and "Mr. Yimei" are all failed cases.
There is even a man named Ge Shuai, , under the banner of "like" Uncle Jiu , and made a large-scale imitation show such as " Uncle Jiu Returns ". What's even more exaggerated is that there is " Uncle Jiu Returns 2", which is enough to think about it. (Uncle Jiu: I was offended)
tribute to Uncle Jiu Lin Zhengying. In fact, Mai Junlong's "Zombies" has given the answer. The tribute is not blindly imitating, but meticulous production and careful care. Please do not borrow the title of Uncle Jiu in future zombie movies.
Yellow Talisman glutinous rice is still there today, and Lin Zhengying is gone. (written by: Xiaoer)
