There was a strange scene at Ching-Ying Lam's funeral. It was suspected that it had something to do with shooting zombie movies. Is it a coincidence or a curse?
I believe many people have seen Ching-Ying Lam's "zombie movies", and many of his movie characters are still deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Many people describe the artistic image left by Ching-Ying Lam with unsurpassable classics. It can be said that the "zombie Taoist" played by Ching-Ying Lam in the Hong Kong film industry is? No one can surpass and replace his position.
Ching-Ying Lam's death is over? For more than twenty years, how many people have tried to create another "Ching-Ying Lam" or arouse the audience's enthusiasm for zombie movies again in this long period of time, but they always ended in vain, and everyone sighed. Because there is no Ching-Ying Lam in the world. The pinnacle of "Zombie Movie"
Ching-Ying Lam was signed by Shaw at the age of 17, but because he was short and unattractive, he had to be body double. It is worth mentioning that when he first entered the business, he worked as body double in Bruce Lee, and was appreciated by Bruce Lee because of his duet with Bruce Lee, and he worked as a film director.
Later, Sammo Hung became famous, and asked Ching-Ying Lam to cooperate in filming. They made a lot of money together, and they began to switch to zombie movies.
The success of Mr. Zombie made Ching-Ying Lam famous and became a representative of zombie movies. Since then, it has also opened the road of zombie movies in Ching-Ying Lam.
And Ching-Ying Lam has become the most important Taoist in everyone's mind, even though he is not a real Taoist, but an actor. Until now, when many people are afraid, they still like to say "Uncle Ying bless". Although this is a joke, it is inexplicably reassuring. Ching-Ying Lam's four rules
In people's minds, shooting these supernatural films is relatively obscure. Many people will ask, is Ching-Ying Lam really not afraid of accidents after shooting zombie films for many years?
In this respect, Ching-Ying Lam, as a human being, must have taken precautions and taboos, so from the beginning of directing zombie films, he made four hard and fast rules.
First, before filming, Mr. Feng Shui will be invited to pray for a smooth and safe filming. The second is to calculate a good day to turn on the phone. Choosing the right day will definitely be very smooth for people. The third is to give red envelopes to actors, from staff to actors, which indicates good luck. The fourth is that whenever the filming ends, the director will definitely use the ending words of shouting. Hearing this word, the actor knew that the play was over and he was going to jump out of the role.
After these four rules were established, every zombie film made by Ching-Ying Lam was warmly welcomed, because the zombie series movies pushed Ching-Ying Lam to the position of the ancestor of zombie films. Ching-Ying Lam died of liver cancer
It may be a jealous genius. Just as "The Zombie Master" received enthusiastic response and was preparing to shoot the third film, the bad news came that Ching-Ying Lam, who was in his prime, was unfortunately diagnosed with liver cancer. But Ching-Ying Lam insisted on finishing the trick, and as a result, his condition worsened. In the end, Lin Daochang, who "exorcised evil spirits and avoided harm" in the movie, didn't finally overcome the disease. Ching-Ying Lam was only 45 years old when he died.
Before his death, Ching-Ying Lam refused to see anyone, because his illness was terrible, which made people think a lot.
After him, many people have imitated and remaked some zombie movies he performed, and some of them have invested heavily, but what makes people feel helpless is that the result is always nothing. In the eyes of many viewers? Ching-Ying Lam is synonymous with "zombie" movies. Without him, zombie movies always seem to be missing something. The funeral arrangement is weird
Ching-Ying Lam's funeral arrangement is weird, and a strange thing happened at the funeral. When the coffin was about to be closed, a lot of black butterflies suddenly flew in, which made people think that Ching-Ying Lam was shooting too many ghost films, so he would encounter some weird things.
But what makes everyone feel even weirder is that Xu Guanying and Ching-Ying Lam, who played Ching-Ying Lam's apprentice in the play many years later, died on the same day, which is said to be sudden death, which can not help but remind people of the curse again.
The deceased is like a husband, and I don't give up day and night. In fact, I am an atheist, but under many coincidences, it is inevitable that I won't guess at random. However, we can not believe this kind of thing, but we must have a "heart of awe". Conclusion
How many audiences grew up watching his "ghost films", and his image of "Taoist priest" is irreplaceable so far. Some people say that Ching-Ying Lam is the starting point, the peak and the end point of zombie films. As the originator of the beautiful era of classic zombie films, his contribution to this series of films is indelible, and there is still no successor on the road of this series of films.
Some people regret that there is no successor, that there is no zombie movie that will surprise everyone, and that they miss "? Those surprises and laughter that "a Taoist with one eyebrow" once brought us.
