Speaking from the heart, the script of "Zombie Supreme" that was originally delivered to Lin Xiaozhi's shore was not outstanding.

Continuing the consistent setting of traditional Hong Kong zombie films, two second-hand apprentices are paired with a typical Chinese-style strict master with a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and the incompetence of the apprentice who can only make trouble is used to set off the greatness of the master, and the plot of the whole movie is also basically the template of "Mr. Zombie".

Screenwriter Luo Zezhi is not well-known in the industry at all, and I am afraid that even he himself did not expect that a script that he handed over that he thought could only get a few million or even tens of millions of investments at most was actually favored by the big boss Lin Xiaozhi, and he was ready to use it to test the in-depth development potential of special effects in traditional Hong Kong films.

Although the script of "Zombie Supreme" has all kinds of shortcomings and limitations, there is one thing that Luo Zezhi did very well for Lin Xiaozhi to choose it, that is, he designed the scale of the scenes in the entire script to be very grand.

In "Zombie Supreme", whether it is the two fools of Zhongyuan Halloween Wencai and Qiusheng who were confused by female ghosts and let go of the hundred ghosts, or then the ninth uncle Lin Fengjiao summoned the same sect of Maoshan to jointly arrange the innate gossip array to collect ghosts, and all the Maoshan masters cast spells to subdue the ghosts, or the ninth uncle and apprentice fought the zombie king on the coffin mountain, and the Maoshan Taoist battle between the ninth uncle and the senior brother Shi Jian in the final scene, the grandeur of the scene changed the 'small pattern' of traditional Hong Kong films.

So Lin Xiaozhi finally chose this script, and convened a number of well-known screenwriters under the name of Media Asia to work together for polishing and minor revisions, and finally started filming in September last year, after more than four months of filming and a few months of post-production special effects, the movie was finally completed in mid to late May this year, and a satisfactory movie that made him score 80 points was handed over.

Lin Zhengying walked out of the theater slowly with a peaked cap, although the big sunglasses on his face half covered half of his face, whether it was the corners of his mouth that completed an arc, or the flush on his cheeks that had not yet dissipated because of excitement, his girlfriend Yuan Qiongdan next to him felt the excitement and excitement in his heart.

"Congratulations, A-Ying. After a few years of depression, you finally got to wash it away, and you made another good movie! ”

is also eating the bowl of rice filming, Yuan Qiongdan naturally has a vision. Fang just accompanied her boyfriend Lin Zhengying to secretly come to the theater to watch "Zombie Supreme", which will be released today, and she was attracted by the dazzling and exciting wonderful fighting scenes in the movie for the first time, as well as the grand movie scenes. There are also exclamations and discussions from the audience watching the movie in the theater from time to time, all of them no longer tell her, Lin Zhengying is afraid that she will turn over this time.

Lin Zhengying had gradually calmed down at this time, and from the mouths of some audiences who came out of the theater at the same time, he already knew that he had succeeded.

“…… I'll just say that the movie invested by Media Asia must be no bad, Uncle Nine's "Zombie Supreme" invested 40 or 50 million, and the special effects are really great! ”

"It's worthy of a big production, the previous scene of the Taoist priests in Maoshan collecting ghosts was so good, it was thunder and lightning, gossip and flames, it's so cool!"

"Uncle Nine is the most handsome, the scene of fighting with the zombie king on Coffin Mountain made my heart jump to my throat, and when I fought with Shi Jian's father and son at the end, the special effects were not bad at all "Resident Evil"!"

"Media Asia is worthy of being the most powerful film group in Hong Kong, and the film department is a classic!"

……

He smiled slightly when he heard this, but his hand tightened his girlfriend Yuan Qiongdan's soft hand, and he let out a sigh of relief and did not speak.

Yes, after a few years of depression, what better comfort could there be!

People who know him Lin Zhengying know that he is a high-minded and arrogant person, Lin Zhengying's family background is average when he was a child, his parents help people make food for a living, there are six brothers and sisters, Lin Zhengying ranks third, like his brothers and sisters, he studied in Lutheran Church Primary School for two years but then dropped out, after which he joined a Peking Opera troupe in Hong Kong, and worshiped Fan Chrysanthemum and Yu Zhanyuan as his teacher, and trained with Cheng Long and Sammo Hung, members of the Seven Little Blessings, and Zunlong, Hui Tianci, Meng Hai, Dong Wei as the same brothers, Lin Zhengying was trained for half a year and put into performance, But his Peking Opera career only lasted three or four years, and he was introduced by a friend to enter the film industry.

Because of his handsome and solid martial arts kung fu, Lin Zhengying was like a fish in water as soon as he entered the film industry, and soon filmed and served as a martial arts instructor in the movie "Tangshan Big Brother", the most famous martial arts star in Hong Kong and even the entire Chinese film circle at that time, and then became Bruce Lee's designated martial arts commander and participated in many of his film shooting, and even acted in many rival scenes with him, which made him famous in the circle early.

But creation makes people, with Bruce Lee's untimely death, although he switched to Sammo Hung 's Hong family class to become the backbone of the Hong family class, but then he was more engaged in behind-the-scenes work, although he often took over the drama but has been tepid, for more than ten years, until 85 years he relied on a "Mr. Zombie" to become famous in Hong Kong and even the whole of Southeast Asia, the most beautiful 86-88 years, not only once there were more than a dozen companies invited him to film at the same time, and he was offered more than one million first-line superstar treatment, and even many peers in the industry had to respectfully shout 'Uncle Nine' when they met. Uncle Ying'.

However, this scenery comes and goes quickly, "Mr. Zombie" brought a frenzy of zombie films in a short period of time, and the investment of less than 10 million has been exchanged for tens of millions of earnings, and for a while, countless capital and film companies have put on the shelves to shoot zombie films, under the bombardment of hundreds of zombie films in just a few years, a genre theme that has not yet been formed was quickly overdrawn in the market, and the audience was lured and deceived by those shoddy productions again and again, and finally retreated from enthusiasm for zombie movies, Even the zombie movies he starred in were also under the box office, and his salary fell back from nearly two million at the peak to about four or five hundred thousand.

Why do you say that the media is a dog/mother's female cousin, because the more beautiful you were in the past, the more ruthless it fell when you were down. Lin Zhengying once again proved the unscrupulousness of the media, just because he smoked and drank well, spent money lavishly, and could afford it when the salary was high in the past, but later he could only take on more movies when the salary was getting worse, and it was inevitable to take on some shoddy zombie films, but in the past few years, many media have almost accused him of overwhelming accusations, as if the reason for the decline of the entire zombie film was all on him.

The zombie movie that made his own career became like this, Lin Zhengying is not without a little idea. In fact, he has teamed up with friends on several occasions to try to change this unhealthy trend in the industry. "Mr. Zombie 2" and "Mr. Zombie 3" may not be as amazing as the first one, but whether it is "Exorcism Police" starring him in 90 years, or "Ghost Fighting Ghosts: Golden Taoist" starring him in the middle of last year, he and his partners have been trying to innovate, but unfortunately due to the limitations of investment and the times, the money has been earned, but it has little effect if they want to influence the industry with these two movies.

Originally, he had no expectations for reviving zombie movies, but he didn't expect a turnaround to come suddenly, and even he didn't expect Lin Xiaozhi to personally approve the investment of 40 million to make a zombie movie, and apply a lot of computer special effects in it.

Maybe his good days are coming back!

Thinking about it this way, Lin Zhengying felt even better, and was just about to light a cigarette for himself to smoke, but his hand touched his pocket but was stunned by the empty touch, and he suddenly remembered that he was found to have a shadow on his liver during the regular medical examination provided by Media Asia for all his artists a few months ago, and the hospital suspected that it was an early sign of liver cancer. Taken aback, despite his addiction to smoking and drinking, he decided to quit smoking and drinking under the care of his life and family and friends. In the past few months, although the addiction to cigarettes and alcohol has increased from time to time, there are still some results.

Yuan Qiongdan saw that his throat was dry and he went to dig out his pocket, where he didn't know that he was addicted to smoking, so he glanced at him angrily, "Why are you so addicted to smoking......

Lin Zhengying smiled brightly, stretched out his hand from his empty pocket, and pressed the brim of his hat to hide the embarrassment in his heart: "I have relied on it for so many years, how can I throw it away so easily!" ”

"You......"

Yuan Qiongdan rarely saw the cold and pitiful look on the screen, and it was heartbroken when she heard the words, and after thinking about it, her tone couldn't help but soften: "The hospital also said that your body is not suitable for smoking and drinking more." You have to quit smoking, but alcohol is not a must. Accompany me to buy some food and go home, I will cook a few side dishes you like to eat in the evening, and I will accompany you to have a few drinks! ”

Lin Zhengying was moved and happy when he heard this, and he had other reactions besides nodding. The two held hands, quickly hailed a taxi, and disappeared into the street.

The release of "Zombie Supreme" undoubtedly lit a fire for Hong Kong in July, and with this niche zombie film with a large number of special effects packaging crazy in Hong Kong, for a while, the media was full of topics about it.

"The box office broke 5 million on the first Wednesday of its release, and Lin Zhengying's new film "Zombie Supreme" set off another zombie movie viewing boom!"

"Media Asia's new film "Zombie Supreme" is applauded and acclaimed, and the large-scale special effects make the movie scene grand and exciting!"

"The movie continues the old routine of traditional zombie films, two stupid apprentices and a shrewd master, the increase in fighting scenes is difficult to hide, the plot is not innovative, and the movie has no new ideas except for the special effects!"

"Lin Zhengying was cautious in an interview, hoping that the box office in this port can exceed 30 million!"

"With a nine-day box office of 15 million, the well-known director Wang Jing praised the special effects of "Zombie Supreme", 'Media Asia tries to combine computer special effects with more traditional Hong Kong films, pointing out a development path for us, and we will consider cooperating with Media Asia in future action movies'!"

……

Since "Red Alert" tried to make the movie scene more grand with special effects modifications, and made a lot of money for Media Asia, Media Asia did not kill chickens and eggs like Xu Ke Studio a few years ago, but invested more money to upgrade equipment and hired a large number of professionals from Europe, America, Hong Kong and Taiwan with high salaries, so the special effects production ability has become stronger and stronger, and it has the strength to be the first in Asia. As soon as "Resident Evil" came out, it became popular all over the world and swept the markets everywhere.

Originally, the investment in these two films was very expensive, and the high production cost of European and American films left a 'bad impression'. Although everyone in the Hong Kong film industry is looking forward to special effects, they are very cautious and vaguely regard them as 'giant toys'.

However, since the second half of last year, Media Asia, which has become the largest and most powerful film group in Hong Kong, has suddenly increased its support for special effects for films with low and medium investment, first a "Black Man" faintly has a bit of the spirit of European and American films, and then even the newly released Hong Kong's unique zombie movie "Zombie Supreme" has increased by leaps and bounds at the box office and audience reputation because of a large number of hero movie special effects. Although it has also increased some filming costs, on the other hand, many of Media Asia's movies that use a lot of special effects have been applauded and acclaimed, making Lin Xiaozhi and his Media Asia earn a lot of money.

With the best role model of Media Asia in front, even the blind can see the power of computer special effects, and for a while, several major film giants in Hong Kong have expanded their special effects departments or simply set up branches. But I wanted to dig people, but suddenly I was dumbfounded. Although Hong Kong is a civilized and wealthy city, its faculty is also extraordinary, and many of its universities are among the best in Asia. However, Hong Kong people are more literate and reasonable, and can train first-class media reporters and lawyers, and produce the best bankers and investment consultants, but there is no soil for science and technology subjects to flourish.

So much so that there were only two or three professional special effects companies in the huge Hong Kong, and there were only more than 100 such talents, most of whom were taken into the pocket by Lin Xiaozhi in advance, and a few were held tightly in the hands of Xu Ke, who woke up in advance. So much so that even Lin Xiaozhi wants to expand the technical team of Media Asia, and has to go to Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States to poach people, not to mention other companies.

Soon found that no one was available, although Media Asia reiterated that its special effects company was willing to cooperate with any counterparts in Hong Kong, but other people's are someone else's, how can they have their own use. Soon, some people began to use their brains, and frequently began to contact the special effects production team under the name of Huanya.
