What are the three rules that Ching-Ying Lam made when shooting "ghost films"?

Hong kong TV used to be brilliant, known as? Oriental Hollywood? Various types of movies emerge one after another, and comedies, romances, gangster movies and zombie movies have to be mentioned. Speaking of zombie movies, we have to talk about Ching-Ying Lam. Ching-Ying Lam's films such as Mr. Zombie have always been regarded as classics. After Ching-Ying Lam's death, zombie movies in Hong Kong's film industry have been in a slump. Ching-Ying Lam shooting? Ghost film? At that time, he made three rules. At that time, he and the crew had to abide by these three rules.

Rule 1: Choose an auspicious day to start shooting.

Ghost movies are essentially different from other movies, and Ching-Ying Lam is a little superstitious. He hopes the film can get a good start, so he will find a feng shui master to choose a good day to start shooting. In fact, not only the shooting date, shooting location and other aspects are also calculated by the Feng Shui master, and the best quality place is selected for shooting.

Article 2: Burn incense, worship and pray.

In the process of shooting, if there is an accident, Ching-Ying Lam will arrange the relevant personnel of the crew to burn incense and pray together to ensure the smooth completion of the film works, and will also send different tributes according to different local customs. This practice is actually based on Ching-Ying Lam's superstition that burning incense when shooting ghost films can offset some bad things. Also, if an actor is injured while filming in this venue, then this venue will never be used for filming again, no matter how suitable the venue is for the plot, because Ching-Ying Lam thinks it is unlucky to be injured. In fact, these are his personal habits, and he is even more taboo to shoot ghost films. These things are understandable, and actors will respect the director's personal habits very much. Article 3: Do I have to shout after the filming? Card?

Before that, it was the feeling of the actor himself at the end. This rule is undoubtedly very good and has been used ever since. We always heard that because the director forgot to call the roll, the actors had to improvise, so many classic shots were born. But ghost films are different. Actors should go deep into the atmosphere of fear and sadness. If you don't stop in time, the actors will get deeper and deeper in this emotion, which will affect their mental health on the one hand, and it will take longer to calm down their emotions on the other hand, which will affect the shooting time. Although the shooting scene is definitely not as scary as when we watched it, the environment is definitely gloomy and dark. Anyone who stays in that environment for a long time will be depressed, so shout in time after shooting? Card? Let the actors get out of that environment as soon as possible.

Ching-Ying Lam is a huge fan of Hong Kong horror movies, but there are fewer and fewer good domestic horror movies. While we miss Uncle Ying's works, we also miss him who made great contributions to the film industry.
