In 1960s+0980s and 1960s+0990s, Hong Kong films were popular all over the world, attracting the favor of countless people, and the image of "Uncle Jiu" created by Ching-Ying Lam was even more popular on both sides of the strait.
His films are mainly about zombies, which are both scary and funny, making people laugh at the same time.
The zombie he starred in was a nightmare for those people at that time. He played an exorcist and caught zombies, and he has set up a great image in my mind since he was a child. I want to see something scary, but I dare not.
From 65438 to 0952, Ching-Ying Lam was born in a poor family in Hongkong. Ching-Ying Lam ranks third with six brothers and sisters. Parents try their best to raise six brothers and sisters.
The so-called children of poor families are in charge early. Therefore, Ching-Ying Lam was very sensible and independent from an early age. He dropped out of primary school after only two years, because his family was in financial difficulties and he could not continue his studies.
In order to make a living, Ching-Ying Lam went to the Hong Kong Spring and Autumn Theatre Academy, where he studied and performed, and worshipped Ju-hua Fen, a famous Peking Opera teacher.
From then on, I entered the powder class. Five years of Beijing opera career, wrong turn to the film circle.
Ching-Ying Lam's efforts and assiduousness were quickly taken by Jiahe Film, and he was invited to be a martial arts coach. That year, Bruce Lee had just made a comeback in Big Brother Tangshan, and Ching-Ying Lam was the martial arts director of this drama.
After their first tacit cooperation, they also ushered in more opportunities for cooperation. Therefore, many of Bruce Lee's works are directed by Ching-Ying Lam.
The relationship between Bruce Lee and Ching-Ying Lam is as inseparable as brothers. However, the good times didn't last long, and Bruce Lee died unexpectedly, which brought him back to the original starting point.
Ching-Ying Lam had to go back to his brothers, so with the help of Sammo Hung, Ching-Ying Lam officially joined Hong Jiaban.
1982, his films "Iron Fist" and "Scary Man" were deeply loved by the audience, and he gradually entered the public eye, so Sammo Hung made a film "Mr. Zombie" specially for him.
The film invested 8 million yuan. Originally, people didn't have much hope for it, because at that time, zombie films were not so popular in Hong Kong film circles.
But unexpectedly, the film caused a great sensation after its release. There was a "zombie fever", and Ching-Ying Lam became an instant hit.
At that time, the box office of this movie reached an astonishing 20 million, which is a record that horror movies have never broken.
Ching-Ying Lam also found his place in front of the screen, so he made zombie movies such as Zombie Family, Mr. Ghost, One Eyebrow Road flyover and Exorcist Police. ...
1983, married his ex-wife, and had a son Lin Jiayao and a daughter Lin. But five years after the divorce, the custody of the children returned to Ching-Ying Lam.
When I was filming Master Zombie, I met Wan Qiongdan, the person I wanted to protect most. Ching-Ying Lam and King-Tan Yuen wrote a love song, and King-Tan Yuen deliberately moved from Happy Valley to Saigon to live with Ching-Ying Lam. When they were about to get married, Ching-Ying Lam suddenly broke up with her.
Wan Qiongdan waited for a long time, but Ching-Ying Lam was unmoved. Sad and desperate, Wan Qiongdan left Hong Kong and went to the mainland for development.
In fact, Ching-Ying Lam is hiding something, because he has liver cancer. He didn't tell anyone but his good brother Sammo Hung about his illness.
Ching-Ying Lam likes smoking, drinking and staying up late to film. His biological clock has already failed, leading to liver cancer. Sammo Hung is still unwilling to believe the news.
108, Ching-Ying Lam died of cancer at the age of 45.
Before he died, Ching-Ying Lam called Sammo Hung and said, "Don't let anyone see my body."
Maybe he doesn't want people who like him to see him like this, or maybe he is afraid that everyone can't accept this fact.
Ching-Ying Lam asked for a low-key funeral before his death and told Sammo Hung that a Taoist ceremony must be held, so only his parents, family and friends attended the funeral. 1997165438+1October 13 at 7 pm, but a Buddhist ceremony was held at the funeral. Sammo Hung was very angry, but helpless.
Neither of the brothers' wishes came true. Wan Qiongdan appeared in mourning as his wife, but kept everyone waiting. Then, looking at Wan Qiongdan's painful crying, Sammo Hung began to cry.
Just as the coffin was about to close, groups of black butterflies gathered.
These black butterflies caused a lot of discussion at the scene, because in Hong Kong, moths and butterflies were seen in funeral homes, and no one beat them.
According to legend, relatives of the deceased came to pay their respects, and the black butterfly at Ching-Ying Lam's funeral didn't disappear until the pavilion was built.
On the same day after Ching-Ying Lam's death 14, Xu Guanying, who played his apprentice, passed away one after another.
Since the death of Ching-Ying Lam, Hong Kong's funeral movies have been very lonely! No one can carry this type of girder from now on!
May Ching-Ying Lam be safe in heaven!
