Taking the opportunity to reflect on yourself, Du Xinghe felt that when facing some uncontrollable and unpredictable things, he always acted very frivolously, just like when he was scared by a white-haired drunkard on the hillside of Luoshan last time, he seemed very "idiot".

This time he was scared by the bastard father and son, and he almost fell into the trap again.

This plane respects the culture of gods and ghosts, but it is not a big deal to be scared like this.

He has to adjust his mindset.

To be more precise, it is to increase your courage.

Since he knew that his courage was still lacking some training, he took advantage of this opportunity to be "incarnated" in the dark elevator to do something to strengthen his courage.

Aren't you afraid of the black or the ghost?

Then he is in this confined space and dares to put a horror movie in his mind to watch it!

Watching horror movies alone in a small dark room is the most courageous.

Not to mention whether Du Xinghe plays it directly in his mind or in an unknown safe elevator, this is definitely not something that a timid person dares to do.

Du Xinghe did it when he thought of it, and he really started to broadcast a horror movie in his mind.

The image of a zombie with a copper coin mask on his face as Wang Jingyun can't remember. He put the previous plane of the movie "Zombies" directed by the rich second-generation director Mai Junlong.

The zombie played by Wu Yaohan in that movie looks much more terrifying than that bastard Wang Jingyun.

Speaking of which, this "Zombies" is a very sincere nostalgic work, and the starring actors are all the pillars of Hong Kong's Golden Age zombie films.

The whole film is different from the traditional zombie films with humor and relaxed style, which is very depressing and sad.

The outdated ghost movie actor, the last celestial master, the waning warlock, the elderly and demented old man... Even the always disgusting Baolou Nanguang has to hide in the market this time, with a crumbling building, broken costumes, yellowed photos... The film is full of vicissitudes and desolation. This heaviness is not only to set off the horror atmosphere, but more mourning for the declining zombie culture.

The cast of this movie is led by the outdated movie star Qian Xiaohao, and a group of veteran actors gathered, with the effect comparable to another nostalgic classic "The Battle of the Star".

Like Chen You and Lou Nanguang. Audiences who have watched the pioneering work of "Mr. Zombie", should still have an impression. To Zhong Fa, who is good at playing villains and is famous for his roles, plus the existence of acting players such as Bao Qijing and Hui Yinghong, and familiar faces such as Wu Yaohan and Lu Haipeng, "Zombies" does not only focus on horror effects, but also ignore the performance of actors. Especially in Qian Xiaohao, Bao Qijing and Hui Yinghong. Everyone arranges an emotional past that deepens the character itself and is more three-dimensional.

"Zombies" opens with "Ghost Bride" chorus of children (a classic episode from "Mr. Zombies"), which is extremely warm and nostalgic. In addition to the common haunted house and evil spirit settings, "Zombies" has a lot of plasma. The killing aura is extremely strong.

This movie focuses on refining zombies and rebirth of seven days. The five elements and gossips of demons are also quite creative.

As for the zombie appearance that the audience is looking forward to, the movie is reluctant to appear for a long time. The zombie jumps out several times and uses the screen breath once. For some viewers who pursue the taste of ancient times, the performance of the film may disappoint them a little.

The use of a large number of special effects scenes and the incorporation of Japanese terrifying insults have greatly weakened the humor and funnyness of previous zombie films, and zombies have become less lively.

However, the past has become the past, and zombie films cannot be resurrected from the dead. If no one innovates, then zombie films will only be buried underground forever.

From this perspective, Mai Junlong's innovation and attempts are definitely worthy of appreciation. In any case, someone must rely on his enthusiasm to spend money to do things that do not count for rewards.

In addition to the horror passages, the public housing buildings in the film are complex, old and gloomy, and extremely ghostly. "Zombies" makes a big deal about this feeling, with a full tone.

Room 2442, just a light and a cabinet, mottled walls are enough to come in handy.

Times were different. In the past, in the Republic of China era, one master and two apprentices, one rich man and one security captain, the setting was simple and the setting was simple.

Back now, zombies no longer have room for survival and appearance, and old bones are no longer able to fight. So, how can zombies appear? Not inferior to evil spirits in terms of momentum? This is exactly the problem that "Zombies" need to solve.

The film is good at filming art props. As soon as the building comes out, you can't help but exclaim: There is a ghost.

As for the protagonist like Qian Xiaohao, he looks in a state of dismay since he appeared, so it is no wonder that he has to attract ghosts and gets involved. However, the horror experience is lingering, but the neighbors still have warm feelings.

A big food stall shows a salty and light taste, knowing the roots and the bottom of the house, and everyone is as close as a family. This is probably an attempt by the director, rather than being entangled with ghosts and fighting to the end.

The movie is not satisfied with the happy ending of winning hand and the evil spirits retreating, because as the story progresses, "Zombies" is already full of blood and countless dead people, and it is difficult to turn back. Borrowing Qian Xiaohao's eyes, "Zombies" leaves a semi-open ending, just like you don't know whether a gyro fell down in the end.

In an era of increasingly declining Hong Kong films, Mai Junlong's "Zombies" is undoubtedly a memory of the rise and fall of Hong Kong films.

Looking at the Hong Kong horror movies that last plane have been in the new millennium, the number is completely inequality that is getting smaller and smaller than that of the heyday.

In the five years from 2009 to 2014 before Du Xinghe traveled, there were less than 10 horror films produced in Hong Kong, many of which included horror films such as "The Love Story of Ghosts", "The Blurred Night", and "Fantasy Night". They all have one thing in common, which is the lack of horror films in the Hong Kong market to save the nation.

The film "Zombies" directed by Mai Junlong was filmed and produced, and a total investment of 15 million yuan was invested. Such investment is already a coveted "big production" among horror themes, but for Hollywood, it is undoubtedly a big mistake, and this phenomenon is also a cold joke that reflects the dilemma of the investment market in the Hong Kong film market.

But it is worthy of recognition that Mai Junlong has made indelible advantages in the novel and transcendent shooting techniques of "Zombies", which is also the enlightenment of Hong Kong directors.

The production of Hong Kong movies in horror films has once been praised as classics by people today. However, there are very few movies that represent this horror film now.

Most people always remember Nie Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story", not because of Pu Songling, but because of Hong Kong movies, which is enough to prove that the influence of Hong Kong movies at that time was enough to influence generations.

As the most unique traditional cultural and artistic film among Hong Kong movies, Lin Zhengying made an indelible contribution. But after that, how many people can replace or surpass him on this road?

"Zombies" is actually not just a horror film. Its success lies in the self-deprecation of the contemporary film industry reflected by this passing sentiment.

As the more representative figures of the 1980s, Qian Xiaohao, Chen You, Hui Yinghong... etc., they are all participants in Hong Kong zombie films. Once again, they are used to interpret this movie. What they have to express more or less is not difficult to understand. The things that the audience who have learned about this history are actually not difficult to understand. The thing that "Zombies" remember is the old version of Hong Kong zombie films in the period of Lin Zhengying. This unique zombie culture has many different things from the "zombies" in the period of Lin Zhengying, including posture and shape. These things can be regarded as a trendy variety in the hands of Mai Junlong. After all, if you take the things from your ancestors and leverage the capital, the meaning of this film will be gone.

Therefore, when we see the merger of China and Japan, and the scenes with a strong cult style, we have to say that the changes here almost subvert the image in the original Lin-style zombie films, and it is not difficult to understand here. It can be explained by the words Chen You said in the play: Because in our generation, there are no Taoist priests, let alone zombies. This sentence also advances the story like a boat, combining traditional Chinese magic submission methods such as training corpses, raising ghosts, and mutual generation and restraint, and localizes the story of a zombie.

As a horror film, "Zombies", it is actually a romantic film dressed in the guise of horror films. In the design and dialogue communication of many plots in "Zombies", Mai Junlong actually hides a lot of unpainful and unpainful information.

Just talk about why Zhong Fa had to become the last zombie before he died. The diffraction of this plot is more of reluctance and helplessness towards zombie films.

And the dream of yellow in the ending also has many things worth pondering. Therefore, those who can truly understand "Zombies" are all those who have experienced the rise and fall of Hong Kong movies and have feelings.

As a new generation of directors, Mai Junlong made a big splash with his self-written and directed debut work "Zombies", which is indeed outstanding. There is no doubt about this.

The plot arrangement and directorial ability alone are enough to prove that he is not the simple "rich second generation" that outsiders rumored, nor is he a bad guy who used Gillian to hype him in the early years when the photos were first revealed.

Of course, the surprises given by "Zombies" are much more than that. In the handling of Aunt Mei's scenes, the handling of emotions, and the four-minute 360° long shot, you can see the director's actions and the strength of the actors.

A good script can often allow some actors to perform their acting skills to the extreme. Bao Qijing and Wu Yaohan are the second amazing place here. Their performances in "Zombies" can subvert their previous representative works and are worthy of being redefined.

When it comes to the story of the film, in fact, it is actually a pessimistic color that runs through the entire main line from beginning to end. Coupled with the familiar old actors, it is easy to shape the nostalgic complex of movie fans.

Aunt Mei’s reluctance and persistence towards her husband, and the dead Qian Xiaohao are undoubtedly helpless about the rise and fall of Hong Kong films. The times have created the glory of Hong Kong films and have also made Hong Kong films lose their glory.

In the society where the previous plane is constantly changing, if it does not change, Hong Kong films would have died long ago. This is how Mai Junlong's "Zombies" is inherited. It inherits the incense of Hong Kong films and goes up against the current during the decline of Hong Kong films. It is actually a sincere work. (To be continued...)
