Let me be the starring actor!"

Lin Zhengying's eyes widened, looking at Huo Yaowen with an incredible face, he didn't expect Manager Wen to call him back in a hurry to tell himself that the boss had written a movie script, and the male number one in the new film was him, Lin Zhengying!

"Yes, this is a script written by the general manager himself, you must act it well, don't mess up the performance!"

Although Wen Yingguang didn't understand why the boss wanted to hand over the script of "Zombie Taoist" that looked good to Lin Zhengying for filming, in his opinion, this male number one could be handed over to some newly recruited actors from some companies.

But the boss has spoken, how dare he refuse.

"Yes...... But I ......" Lin Zhengying stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence, looked at Manager Wen, then looked at the general manager, swallowed his saliva, and then plucked up the courage to say: "General manager, I... I'm so grateful to you for giving me this great opportunity, but I've never acted in any roles, I've always been just a trick. ”

"No one is born with acting. ”

Looking at the young and excessively young Ninth Uncle at this time, Huo Yaowen smiled and said, "Have you read some I Ching, Taoist Scripture, or heard some legends of Taoist priests exorcism and ghost hunting in the past?"

Lin Zhengying recalled it and said: "When I was a child, I heard some ghost legends in the countryside from the past era from my neighbors, and I also read the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" written by you before, the general manager. ”

"Then you have to study more in this area, you can find some Maoshan sect or Taoist charm scriptures to take a look. As for the male protagonist of this script, Uncle Jiu, he doesn't need too much acting skills for this role, you can understand him as a master of enlightenment, in order to maintain his own majesty, he generally treats people coldly on weekdays, and knows some fist and foot kung fu, this role is very suitable for you in my opinion. Specifically, you take the script back and think about it. ”

Huo Yaowen handed the script on the table to Lin Zhengying.

Zombie Road Leader!

Lin Zhengying, who took over the script, when he saw the name of the script, roughly understood what kind of role he wanted to play as Uncle Jiu, a Taoist who can catch ghosts and exorcise demons who knows how to spell.

Huo Yaowen said: "Since you have read my "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", you should still remember some ghost legends written in my book, or zombies in the tomb, and ghosts and ghosts. ”

"Remember, if I'm not mistaken, if you want to fight zombies and zongzi, you should use props and magic weapons such as black donkey hooves, glutinous rice, ink buckets, red threads, and peach wood swords. Lin Zhengying said a lot of zombie fighting props that appeared in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in one breath, it seems that he has indeed read it deeply, otherwise he would not remember it in such detail.

"That's right, you can understand my script "Zombie Dao Chief" as being in the same world as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and I may also shoot Huo Hero in the future. Huo Yaowen said.

In this era, there is no concept of homogenity, so Huo Yaowen can only briefly talk about the relationship between "Zombie Taoist" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

After all, if "Zombie Dao Chang" is good at the box office, he will definitely continue to make zombie movies in the future, he has the good IP of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and Hong Kong has such a high reputation and readers, it is really a waste if you don't use it.

But for the time being, Huo Hero will definitely not be filmed, this series will be filmed, the investment will definitely be very large, and the construction of the catacombs alone is not a small amount.

In addition, Huo Yaowen also wants to make it into an oriental version of "The Mummy", which may become a dark universe similar to that proposed by the future generations of the world, so naturally it cannot be filmed too hastily.

Lin Zhengying didn't understand the same world that the general manager said at first, but then he pondered, although the hero written by this ghost blowing the lamp is Huo Yingying, but since there are zombies and some demons and monsters in this world, there must be other Taoist priests who know magic, otherwise the world would have been in chaos long ago.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Zhengying understands the reason why the general manager invited him to be the leading actor!

It turned out that I wanted to try to shoot a zombie ghost film to see the reaction of the Hong Kong audience, if the effect is good, I am afraid that a second zombie film will be launched immediately, and then someone else should be found to play Huo Yingying.

To shoot or not to shoot?

Lin Zhengying's mind is racing at the moment, and if he shoots, it doesn't seem to have much impact on him, and if the box office of the movie is good, he may not be able to change careers to become a kung fu actor, after all, he is not bad, and it seems to be almost the same as that movie star Wang Yu!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhengying touched his face, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind: "Since the general manager likes me, I, Lin Zhengying, will definitely live up to the expectations of the general manager and Manager Wen, and I will definitely make this movie well!"

"Haha, you don't want to put too much pressure on yourself. ”

Huo Yaowen patted Lin Zhengying on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Although this zombie film is not a big innovation, someone made a black and white film "The Walking Dead in the Ancient House" in the Republic of China a few decades ago, and it should not be found now."

So as the first zombie film in Hong Kong to be made, you have to explore the script a lot, or look at my book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which has a paragraph describing zombies in detail. As for the way of exorcism and ghost catching, or spells such as charms, you need to study it yourself. ”

"General manager, don't worry, I will definitely study carefully, and I will definitely not let you down. Lin Zhengying patted his chest with a "dong dong" sound, as if he had an attitude of swearing to the end.

It's no wonder that Lin Zhengying is like this, although he has made a lot of movies and served as Bruce Lee's martial arts instructor, he has never been an important actor, let alone the leading actor.

Such a great opportunity, a great opportunity is in front of him, it is no wonder that Lin Zhengying is not moved.

"Work hard, this "Zombie Daoist" company will invest one million Hong Kong dollars, and the director will be directed by Chu Yuan himself, as the male lead, if you have any ideas, you can also communicate with the director, after all, this is a movie with a new theme. ”

Hong Kong's first psychedelic zombie film should be Sammo Hung's "Ghost Fighting Ghost", although Shaw Brothers also made a "Zombie Revenge" in 1959 before this, but that kind of zombie film is not the zombie in the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty in our memory, but the kind similar to a dry corpse.

It wasn't until Hong Jinbao filmed "Ghost Fighting" that it was determined that zombies could avoid zombies by wearing and holding their breath.

And these have been written by Huo Yaowen in the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", so as long as Lin Zhengying reviews this book again, it will definitely be no problem.

"Okay chairman!" Lin Zhengying heard that this movie invested 1 million, and the director was still the company's No. 1 director Chu Yuan, he was even more excited, and he promised to play this role well!
