Hong Kong people dare not shoot ghost films anymore, because it is unknown.
Rao, there are many supernatural things. When Mr. Zombie filmed, a group of experts filmed in the wild for more than a month, but three people died young in the 20 years after the screening! A person is crazy! The "supernatural king" and "Mr. Zombie" are indeed ominous, but they are probably the common view of the world.

Huang Bingyao and Huang Ying are both screenwriters of Mr. Zombie. 199 1 year, Huang Bingyao suddenly died in a foreign country! Only one year later, Ying Huang also died young. Surprisingly, both of them were under 50 years old when they died, and they were all sudden deaths! At that time, it was only six or seven years before Mr. Zombie was released!
Ching-Ying Lam
The popularity of Mr. Zombie also made the leading actor Ching-Ying Lam famous, and he was nicknamed "Zombie Master". Unfortunately, he died of advanced liver cancer.
Xu Guanying has made more than 30 films since he entered the business. 1984, he collaborated with Ching-Ying Lam to produce Mr. Zombie. They play master and apprentice in the play. "Master" Ching-Ying Lam died of liver cancer on June 8th, 1997. Unexpectedly, "apprentice" Xu Guanying died on the same day in the same month. Some netizens lamented that the master and apprentice could finally go to heaven.
Hong Kong people are no longer keen on making ghost films. First of all, the early death of Ching-Ying Lam did lead to the rapid decline of zombie movies. It can be said that since the 1990s, Hong Kong zombie films have been supported by Ching-Ying Lam alone, and Hong Kong people's superstition of geomantic omen also keeps them at a distance.
Another reason is that because superstitions are not advocated in the Mainland, movies featuring ghosts and gods are banned from being shown in the Mainland, and the mainland market has been lost. Many film companies have also given up shooting ghost films.
Ghost films can't be made in Chinese mainland, but Chen Jiashang successfully started filming The Painted Skin that year, changed the ghost into a demon, and successfully got the approval to be shown in Chinese mainland. Later, the demon films started shooting one after another. In the end, the content of the film really has the true love on earth, and the old story of hello, I am good and everyone is good has long lost the purity of ghost films.
