, Linghuan film hit Zhou Xingchi .
The fantasy film developed into the 1990s, but it has actually come to a dead end. The next time
will be remembered by the public will be 1992's " Mr. New Zombie", but unfortunately it was short-lived.
This kind of regret can be seen in " Ghost Bite Ghost ".
"Ghost Bite Ghost" continues the routine of "Mr. Zombie". Director Liu Guanwei , screenwriter Huang Bingyao , starring Lin Zhengying , the two apprentices were replaced by Xu Guanying and Qian Xiaohao to Hong Jinbao and Meng Hai .
But the story is far less exciting than "Mr. Zombie", and the genre of the movie has also changed from a fantasy movie to a martial arts movie. The only fantasy element that can be seen is Lin Zhengying.
As for the Maoshan Taoist fighting Nanyang witches throughout the whole process, it is just a magical coat for the martial arts film, and there is nothing innovative about the film.
Because the movie focuses on Sammo Hung's actions instead of Lin Zhengying's techniques, this change makes the plot a bit long and boring, and the funny parts are not well done.
Various deficiencies have led to the all-star lineup of "Ghost Bite Ghost" only earning 13.58 million box office, not even in the top ten of the year, showing the exhaustion of the sun.
In 1990, Lin Zhengying also had a fantasy film " Exorcism Police ".
let people see the elements of phantom kung fu + police and bandits, did you make a fool of yourself? The answer is to have a head start but no box office.
"The Exorcist Police" still adheres to the model of "Mr. Zombie".
gags, witty and funny, good and evil fighting, plus Wang Meihua, who looks like Maggie Cheung , spent more than 80 minutes with a tight rhythm.
If "The Exorcist Cops" is strengthened in the police-robber confrontation detective part, this film will be the lore.
Unfortunately, in 1990, they met Stephen Chow, and the box office of "The Exorcist Police" was only 3.64 million.
And this year's champion and runner-up are Stephen Chow's " Gambler " and " Gambler ", Stephen Chow proved that comedy films are still popular in the film market, and Hong Kong movies have entered the next stage.
In the second year, Lin Zhengying took " Linghuan Supreme " to test the water again. From the film, it can be seen that the main creator is seeking changes in Linghuan films.
Ghost Queen Wang Xiaofeng became a ghost hunter of a good wife and mother, Lin Zhengying started a love triangle, flirting, the genre changed to a light comedy of family life, and also joined the young and beautiful Gigi Lai .
It's a pity that the fantasy films of the 1990s are gradually declining, and this innovation has only brought in 3.4 million box office.
"The Supreme Being of Ghosts and Spirits" has also become the least well-known of Lin Zhengying's zombie films, and there is no director or screenwriter entry on Douban.
may have seen the potential of Stephen Chow. In 1991, Lin Zhengying and Stephen Chow co-starred in "African Monk".
is a creative work of Maoshan magic, exotic customs, African natives, and kind-hearted zombie ancestors fighting African giants.
box office, the releaseThe total box office of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in 20 days was the highest-grossing fantasy film of the year, but in the Hong Kong-style market at that time, the box office of more than 10 million yuan still could not enter the top ten of the year.
In 1991, it was still a double-weekly world.
the first, second and fourth places are Stephen Chow's " truancy dragon ", Jackie Chan 's " Eagle Plan ", Chow Yun-fat 's "Across the World", only four non-weekly stars in the top ten. One of
is Jet Li's "Once Upon a Time in the Sky", and the emperor of kung fu rises again through this, and Double Monday is divided into four parts of the world, and there is no more soil for spiritual films to survive.
But Lin Zhengying will never admit defeat easily. In 1992, he shot 8 fantasy films in a row.
started with "The Ghost Tour Group", Lin Zhengying and Wu Junru cooperated again after "One Eyebrow", which is also the continuation of Liu Shiyu "The Ghost" series.
It's just that this film is boring except for the beginning and a few fights, and the light effects of the old movies can barely be seen.
The subsequent " Monster City " is a lot stronger than "Ghost Tour Group" in the production team. The screenwriter of
is Wang Jing, who is already famous for his gambling series, the director is Yuan Xiangren of Yuan Jiaban , and the starring is Lin Zhengying of Hong Jiaban, but they worked together to give a bad movie.
"Monster City" combines various elements, salty, wet, curious, cult, Maoshan Taoism, Nanyang bowing, coupled with the grading system already implemented in Hong Kong movies at that time, deceived many audiences.
But gimmicks can't make a film's box office continue to grow. After the first batch of audiences watched the movie, the box office of "Monster City" dropped rapidly, and finally stopped at 3.06 million.
In terms of quality, " Music Zombie " is higher than "Ghost Tour Group" and "Monster City".
But on the surface, this movie is starring Lin Zhengying, but in fact the real starring is Li Lizhen and these young actors. The combination of
's music and zombies made "A Bird Falls into the Water" popular, and with the clip of Lin Zhengying as a zombie follower, the sincerity of "Music Zombie" is still enough, but the box office was a fiasco, only 1.06 million.
came to " ", and even Yingshu couldn't do anything. Even though
is a member of Hong Jiaban's team, they have to add a lot of vulgar parts for the market.
This rough feeling has continued to " Ghost Fighting Ghost: Golden Taoist ", this movie is a farce from beginning to end.
's jokes are vulgar and the plot is boring. It bears the golden name of Sammo Hung's "Ghost Fighting Ghost" series, and also makes Luo Huijuan continue to sell cute in the film, but the traces of the film's shoddy production are too obvious, and the box office is only 1.28 million.
The next "Spirit Transformation" and "The Swordsman Wong Tai Sin" are even more appalling.
Fortunately, "Mr. Zombie" created by the original team of "Mr. Zombie" won the honor of Uncle Ying, but the box office was only 6.36 million, not even 10 million.
Because this year, Lin Zhengying met Stephen Chow again. It was also the year of Stephen Chow in 1992. The top five films at the box office were all Stephen Chow films. Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li and Jackie Chan could only compete for the sixth to tenth positions.
In 1993, there was only one " Exorcism Daoist " starring Lin Zhengying Zhenger Bajing.
"Exorcism Daoist" basically refers to the " Yimei Daoist " directed and acted by Jiu Shu. The plot is quite lively, Catholics are against Daoist priests, priests are against Daoist priests, Western vampires are against zombies, and crosses are against peach wood swords.
Due to the good box office of the last "Mr. New Zombie" in Wanwan, "The Exorcist" was the first to be released in Wanwan, but the box office was only 3.4 million, but it was abandoned in Hong Kong and released on disc.
Facing this kind of failure, Lin Zhengying lost confidence in the fantasy film, which became his last zombie film.
The fantasy film has been thin since then, Sammo Hung no longer involved in this subject, and Lin Zhengying turned to the TV series " Zombie Dao ".
A few years later, Lin Zhengying passed away due to illness, and the glory of Hong Kong films is gone. It's time to say goodbye to the bizarre world of light and shadow.
