Lin Zhengying In 1985, at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards, Xu Guanying was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for " Mr. Zombie", but he refused to accept the award because he thought he was the protagonist, not a supporting actor . This is also the first time in the history of the Academy Awards.
"Mr. Zombie" filmed in 1985 is a zombie kung fu movie, or called a "spiritual kung fu movie." The film was released in Hong Kong with a box office of up to 20 million. No one of the same type of film has broken this record so far. It has also attracted countless follow-ups. From 1986 to 1991, Hong Kong and Taiwan shot more than 100 supernatural movies about zombies, but none of them could. The brilliance of "Mr. Zombie" can be called the number one zombie film.
I want to come to see this video for everyone!
The film mainly tells that a rich squire's father used to coerce and lure him into a feng shui treasure land. According to Feng Shui's guidance, the grave must be relocated 20 years after the burial in order to be used by children and grandchildren. Ren Fa invited the Taoist Jiushu played by Lin Zhengying and his two apprentices to relocate. Unexpectedly, the corpses had been turned into zombies, and a fierce battle began.
Then again, who is the protagonist in "Mr. Zombie"?
Is it the wretched and timid literary talent (Xu Guanying) who refused the Academy Award, or the handsome and funny Qiu Sheng ( Qian Xiaohao ) or the Taoist master nine uncle (Lin Zhengying)?
According to my understanding, the first actor should be Qiu Sheng Qian Xiaohao.
Why do you say that, let me elaborate.
From the perspective of the novel: "Mr. Zombie" is adapted from Huang Ying's novel of the same name. The beginning of the novel is that Qiu Sheng meets a cunning old ghost at night and can't stand it.The description of this paragraph took a long chapter. Finally, Qiusheng brought the old ghost back to Yizhuang and was subdued by the Jiushu. From here, Jiushu and Wencai played.
means that the whole story begins with Qiusheng.
The eight characters of the autumn birthday in the novel are very hard. He lost his father at the age of three and his mother at the age of 7. This kind of setting was used by the protagonists in many psychic movies later. So from here we can see the status of Qiusheng in the novel.
is followed by a section about "Human Ghost Love" about Qiusheng, which is also a common part of the protagonist in ghost movies.
In the novel, Qiusheng plays far more roles than Jiushu and Wencai, so he is the real protagonist.
But the novel is only a novel, we still need to watch the scenes in the movie. We watch the scenes of the movie:
The scenes of Mid-Autumn and Wencai in the movie "Mr. Zombie" are very even. "Lian", and Lin Zhengying's Jiushu is a supporting role, but it is so dazzling that I dominate the scene, so that most people think Jiushu is the real protagonist, probably Qiusheng's role is similar to Jiushu.
There are many scenes from the novel or the movie Qiusheng, and there are even more literary talents and Jiushu, so it can be justified to be called a male protagonist.
Another reason is that Lin Zhengying was nominated for Best Supporting Actor by Mr. Zombie's Ninth Uncle, and Wen Cai is also, so the Golden Image Award also indirectly indicates that the protagonist is Qiusheng!
A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets. You can say that the actor is Xu Guanying, Qian Xiaohao or Lin Zhengying, as long as you think he is the protagonist.
But what is the point of fighting for the male protagonist now? Jiu Shu and Wencai passed away one after another, now only Qiusheng is alive, and zombie movies are lonely, and there are no zombie movies after Jiu Shu That's it!
Will there be zombie movies in a few years? There are also nonsensical style movies by Xing Ye and funny action movies by Uncle Long. Will there be such movies in the future?
Has the movie era progressed?
