Lin Zhengying, the man who is known as Uncle Jiu, is the source of Jiahe's confidence. In that year, Mr. Zombie not only made Lin Zhengying, who has never been popular, become a first-line actor, but also made him a zombie film and a symbol of Maoshan Taoist priests.

That apricot yellow Taoist robe, gray hair, two straight sword eyebrows, and a small beard, is Lin Zhengying and also a symbol of zombie films.

Not to mention at this time, just twenty or thirty years later, many loyal Hong Kong film enthusiasts are obsessed with Uncle Jiu’s zombie films back then.

When it comes to Lin Zhengying, we must talk about zombie movies. When it comes to zombie movies, Lin Zhengying's acting must be a guarantee of high-quality products.

Furthermore, in addition to Lin Zhengying, Qian Xiaohao, who played Mr. Zombie, was also among the main creators, and these are also the source of confidence for Jiahe.

With such a lineup at the gathering place, Jiahe completely wanted to replicate the glory of Mr. Zombie at the time under the banner of Mr. Zombie's original team.

In fact, whether the main creators such as Lin Zhengying and even He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai are not sure whether they can continue their glory, but it is necessary to attract audiences with the gimmick of Mr. Zombie.

Moreover, when the traditional Maoshan zombie film in Hong Kong was repeatedly imitated by many followers without innovation, and gradually lost audiences, Lin Zhengying's film Yimei Taoist made bold reforms and innovations. In order to avoid the Hong Kong zombie film being exhausted and cutting off its own way of life, while filming such films while ensuring that local folk fun was not lost, Lin Zhengying incorporated Western vampires and zombies into this Hong Kong zombie film.

This drama is very invested and the filming time is long, which is much more time-consuming than when I first filmed Mr. Zombie.

The field staff have to do it for more than 8 hours a day, and during the shooting, they also need to build high platforms and plant banana trees, and they can't stop as soon as they start construction. Moreover, there are more than 30 high platforms, all of which are heavy wood. It's just like this that it takes a full year to shoot it.

This is a big company like Jiahe. If you change to those small film companies, you can be exhausted in a year, and maybe the company will survive for less than a year.

For this film, if you invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars, you have to get a box office of more than 20 million to make a profit. In the same way, Jiahe family is big and has a big business, and dares to invest and bet. Otherwise, in the current market of zombie films, no other company dares to support Lin Zhengying doing this.

Of course, such a large investment also shows how confident Jiahe is in Lin Zhengying.

Lin Zhengying is indeed very right to Jiahe’s confidence in him. The Yimei Taoist photographed him very well, which was very exciting and funny.

On the first day of release, it won a box office of over 3 million, which was a little worse than the bloody two heroes with fairy hair and a lot better than the rejuvenation of Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baiqing.

And because the two heroes have been released for a while, their daily box office has dropped below two million, so Yimei Taoist successfully won the box office championship that week.

Yizi eyebrows, cold and humorous, quick-witted, even painting talismans and chanting mantras have styles, they still have a familiar taste, a familiar formula, and a familiar Uncle Jiu.

In Yimei Taoist, Taoist Maoshan and Christians have "chicken and duck talks", and the novel effect of Maoshan fighting with Western zombies makes the audience very much like it.

But compared to Mr. Zombie, Taoist Yimei is even more terrifying.

The plot of the movie is driven by emotions. When emotions move, the intention moves, and when intention moves, the thought moves. Evil thoughts are used by ghosts and gods. The appearance of ghosts in the film is quite consistent with the traditional concept of ghosts and gods to warn people, so it is real. The real horror is the most terrifying, and this fear reaches people's hearts.

It is precisely because of this even more terrifying plot that this Yimei Taoist also violates the taboo of the summer season like the two heroes who are bleeding.

Although the zombie was also terrifying, to be honest, the terrifying thing was not that obvious. Even if the zombie bites people and then becomes a corpse, it makes people look more happy than terrifying.

However, Yimei Taoist reduced the joyful plot and added terrifying factors, which made Yimei Taoist far smaller in audience than the original Mr. Zombie.

Lin Zhengying wanted to move zombie movies closer to European and American horror movies, but Hong Kong audiences did not buy it.

Of course, not only Hong Kong audiences, but also the entire Eastern audience are not that popular with horror movies.

Apart from people with a slightly flavour, not many Oriental people like to watch horror movies. This is also the reason why pure horror movies are far less popular in the East than in the West.

In the summer, everyone is happy, but you will have a big tragedy, a big horror, and it would be strange if you can be very popular.

This is also the reason why in China, the summer and Spring Festival periods, whether at this time or in the future, most of the people who can make a big hit are comedy and action films, and there are very few other types, or even no one.

The first day of Yimei Taoist's release, the box office was gratifying, the second day was good, and the third day was OK, but after the initial reliance on a specific audience and the fans of zombie movies exploded, starting from the fourth and fifth day, Yimei Taoist's attendance rate inevitably ushered in a rapid decline.

The attendance rate of the two men who were reborn and reborn and the Yimei Taoist disrupted the situation was also declining every day.

However, the decline of the two bloody heroes is very stable, and sometimes they can even explode slightly.

This has to be said that while the quality is higher, the audience of action movies and gunfight movies is much higher than that of spiritual zombie movies.

If we talk about the audience alone, there will definitely be more comedy movies that are loved by the whole family. Then we will have kung fu action movies that are deeply rooted in the bones of Chinese people.

The Bloody Two Heroes are gunfight action movies, with a large audience, and the quality of them is far higher than the rejuvenation and the Taoist priest. There are also Zhou Runfa and Ye Shanwen, who has huge popularity, and it is not surprising that the box office is strong.

But neither the Yimei Taoist nor the Bloody Two Heroes, judging from the current situation, it cannot reach the level of satisfying investors.

Whether Yimei Taoist can make a profit in the end is definitely a question, because judging from the current box office trend and attendance rate, it is difficult for Yimei Taoist to have a final box office of more than 15 million, and it will take a miracle to exceed 20 million.

Of course, Jiahe will definitely not lose money in the end, because there are still box offices in Taiwan and overseas that can make money.

But the profit is definitely far less than Jiahe expected.

The two heroes who are in the bloody lineup are considered failures if they are not profitable or even less profitable.

The current bloody two heroes will eventually have a box office of more than 20 million, but there is still a distance from success.

It can only be said that there is no merit or fault.

And this result also made Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa, two men who were nervous, determined to make a breakthrough in Hollywood.

Because they have reached the peak of their careers in this corner of Hong Kong. If they don’t want to go forward and backward, the only way is to go to a larger stage and climb a higher peak.
