Why is the zombie Taoist priest played by Lin Zhengying so expressive?
No one was allowed to visit Uncle Ying one week before his death, including his fellow apprentices and best friend Sammo Hung, and not even his biological children were seen. So why was Uncle Ying so decisive when he was dying?
The zombie movies shot by Lin Zhengying have become eternal classics in the hearts of movie fans. We read them out and watch them again from time to time. Only we die-hard movie fans can experience that hearty and satisfying feeling. Fans of Uncle Ying all know that Uncle Ying died young and died of advanced liver cancer.
In the film, the Taoist priest played by Uncle Ying is called Uncle Jiu, so many fans who meet him in real life, ranging from uncles and aunts in their seventies to children in their teens, also call him Uncle Jiu. His ninth uncle. The Taoist Master of Maoshan played by Uncle Ying can occasionally be serious and funny, but most of the time he has a righteous and omnipotent image. How deeply rooted is this image?
It is said that when Uncle Ying is walking on the street, an old man or old lady will come over and ask: "Are you the Uncle Jiu, right? Uncle Ninth wants to ask you, our family has not been going well recently. I don't know why. It’s not that the feng shui is not very good, can Uncle Jiu help me resolve it and draw a talisman to ward off the evil spirits?” Uncle Ying could only smile bitterly and say that it was a movie, so don’t take it too seriously.
Liu Guanwei, the director of "Mr. Zombie", said in an interview that Uncle Ying's uncle was a Maoshan master, and when Uncle Ying was very young, his uncle told many stories about Maoshan Taoist priests. Therefore, the editor speculates that Uncle Ying's performance as a Maoshan Taoist priest is so lifelike that it has a lot to do with the stories told by his uncle.
Uncle Ying's untimely death has made many movie fans sigh with regret. It has been 21 years since Uncle Ying's death, but online fans have been pouring in to express their condolences. Why did Uncle Ying not allow anyone to see him before his death? There are two kinds of rumors from the outside:
1. Because the illness makes his face look scary, he doesn’t want to see anyone. However, according to the symptoms of late-stage liver cancer, the appearance will not change much, but the person will become abnormally thin because he cannot eat, the whole body will be edematous, and it will be very painful.
2. Those in their 40s cannot accept the fact that they have terminal liver cancer, so they become depressed about life and resist the outside world.
As a super fan of Uncle Ying, the editor combined various theories and guessed that the reason why Uncle Ying did not want to see anyone in the end was because of the torture of illness and the psychological shock that caused Uncle Ying to Extremely resistant to life and unwilling to see anyone.
There is something that many movie fans do not know. Uncle Ying and Sister Shiliu (real name Yuan Qiongdan) met while filming "Zombie Taoist Priest" and established a relationship the following year and started a happy cohabitation life. . Sister Shiliu was actually quite beautiful when she was young, and Uncle Ying still had very good eyesight. Sister Pomegranate is just deliberately ugly for the purpose of making her role in the plot clearer. Later, after Uncle Ying learned that he had terminal liver cancer, he broke up with Yuan Qiongdan without any reason or warning, and Yuan Qiongdan had no idea about Uncle Ying's liver cancer.
According to Yuan Qiongdan later, she had lost contact with Lin Zhengying for a long time. One day when she was about to go out, she suddenly felt dizzy. It was like someone was holding her back, and she had to lie down to rest. . But this trip seemed to fall into a half-asleep and half-awake state, as if I was dreaming but not dreaming. She said: "In the dream, Lin Zhengying came to say goodbye to her!". The dizzy feeling disappeared after saying goodbye, and then she got up. As soon as I got up, I heard the phone ringing. I picked up the phone, but the news of Lin Zhengying's death came on the phone.
Only then did she know that he had passed away, leaving this world forever and leaving her forever. The dizziness just now was probably because Lin Zhengying couldn't bear to leave her and came to say goodbye to her.
