Do you like the movie Ching-Ying Lam Zombie Family?

Ching-Ying Lam is a legendary figure in Hong Kong film industry and the founder of zombie movies. He has brought us countless laughs. His unique comedy+horror style breaks the fixed pattern of traditional horror movies, which makes people feel scared and laugh instantly. This feeling of being nervous and relaxing for a while is very enjoyable. Unfortunately, Ching-Ying Lam died young, but he left us many classics and memories. Here I will introduce Master Lin's works. What you are most familiar with is Mr. Zombie by Liu Guanwei, which caused a great response in Hong Kong at that time, and the box office reached an astonishing 30 million (it was a great box office at that time, and even in Hong Kong today, this kind of box office is rare). Ching-Ying Lam's master image is the most deeply rooted in people's hearts. Later, a master, two apprentices and a zombie dressed in Qing Dynasty became a mode of zombie movies.

It usually happened during the Republic of China, so it is not surprising that zombies in the Qing Dynasty. In Mr. Zombie, Ying Shu's two apprentices: one is Xiao Haoqin, who can play better, and his kung fu is not even worse than his master's, but he is a little lazy and almost Taoist; The other is Xu Guanying, whose kung fu is very poor. His role is mainly funny (Ghost Painting Academy and Ghost Painting Hall, both of which are good with Jacky Cheung). A serious master sometimes tells some cold jokes, plus two clown apprentices, which is not funny at all. They have cooperated with Ching-Ying Lam in several films, all of which are of high quality. They appeared in Mr. New Zombie. This time, they had to deal with a female ghost bent over by evil spirits and broke out a lot of jokes: on the one hand, my brother didn't like my sister, but he needed her help and was embarrassed to say it; On the other hand, the younger sister who is in the spring is trying to seduce her brother (everyone knows that she is not a sexy master, just think about it and you will know how miserable Uncle Ying is! ), two apprentices who have never learned countless things are not helpful. But ran to the next village and provoked a group of zombies to come back. Female ghosts fight zombies, and the drama is staged. Finally, the brothers and sisters joined hands to subdue the female ghost.

In "Zombie Supreme", there was a big gathering of Taoist Mao Shan, and uncles and uncles all showed up. This time, it was none other than Uncle Ying's brother Liu Shun. Although his ways are profound, he is dishonest. After his apprentice was miserable, he turned him into a spectre and sucked human blood everywhere. Uncle Ying, who has always upheld justice, decided to put justice first. With the treasure left by our ancestors, the downstream was destroyed. At the same time, raiders of the lost ark is a follow-up work. That's my grandfather's generation of zombies, but it's still funny. On Mr. Linghuan, zombies no longer jump out to mix, but witches instead. There is a wonderful fight at the beginning of the film. What attracts us most about Master Ching-Ying Lam is not only that he looks like maoshan taoist, but also his agility. Chasing ghosts is really an eye-opener. Since half of them come from action movies, we have to abide by one principle: the enemy must be more and more tough, otherwise the audience will not buy tickets. Maoshan taoist and the witch are bound to have a fierce battle. At that time, there was another person who could compete with Ching-Ying Lam. Zheng Zeshi's Ghost Hunting and Ghost King are also outstanding in horror movies.

In Ghost, the two men cooperated strongly, emphasizing comedy, but weakening action and terror. The villain is still a female ghost. He was arrested once, which is a little suspected of fried rice, but the joke is quite interesting. In the later period, Ching-Ying Lam's films began to be dissatisfied with Manchu zombies, and began to point the finger at foreign vampires, hoping to attract audiences again with the help of foreign horror culture. Exorcists, Taoist priests and African monks appeared one after another. The exorcist was replaced by a male and female apprentice (originally a male and a female). Besides Ching-Ying Lam and Ni Xing (formerly known as Zou Zhaolong) who plays his apprentice, this film directed by Oh Ma deserves attention. Should be a rookie, the only impression is the muscles all over. That's what the Taoist priest said with a smile. Senior nuns inevitably have a war of words with maoshan taoist, and the cultural differences between the East and the West have caused great laughter. China's Maoshan technique knows nothing about foreign vampires, so it's really interesting to watch them being teased by vampires. African monks simply go to Africa to shoot. Obviously, tropical desert areas are not suitable for zombie activities. This film is neither scary nor funny, and it is considered as the most failed work.

There are few good works in Ching-Ying Lam's later period. It can be said that zombie movies have reached the point where there is nothing to shoot. I remember that Uncle Ying's last classic film was "Exorcism Police", which tells the story of Uncle Ying's long-retired comeback after encountering an adventure and smashing the drug case in one fell swoop. Long-distance fighting between the enemy and ourselves was very elegant in the heyday of Uncle Ying. Ching-Ying Lam's films also include: Zombie Family, Spiritual Change, Painted King of Yin and Yang, Ghost Golden Taoist, Ghost Cadres, Demon City, Ghost Tour Group, People Scaring Ghosts, Musical Zombies and so on, so I won't introduce them one by one. The TV series Zombie Master has been loved by many viewers. Uncle Ying's death was a bolt from the blue for the Hong Kong film industry. No matter how many people imitated Ching-Ying Lam later, the effect was not recognized by everyone. After the 1990s, zombie movies disappeared, and horror movies became something we could only dream of.

Finally, I want to say sincerely: Uncle Ying, have a nice trip!
