When Ching-Ying Lam is mentioned, a man with pale face, bright red lips and fangs will come to mind. I believe that many people will think that there are zombies in the world when they watch it when they are young. If they are bitten by zombies, they will be poisoned and become zombies. When they grow up, they find that zombies are fictional, probably because Ching-Ying Lam's acting skills are good.
Ching-Ying Lam lives in an ordinary family. His parents are ordinary workers, helping people cook for a living and raising six brothers and sisters. Family living conditions are very difficult. All six brothers and sisters dropped out of school only in the second grade of primary school.
After dropping out of school, Ching-Ying Lam joined a troupe to support his family. He trained with Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung since childhood, and was classmates with John Lone and Meng Hai. He insists on practicing martial arts every day.
Ching-Ying Lam, 17 years old, joined Shaw Pictures. He is a petite and unattractive person. From the beginning, I could only be a stuntman, and I also worked as a body double for Cheng Peipei when there was no fire. Ching-Ying Lam is an upright and unsmiling person.
The evaluation of his friends around him also means that Ching-Ying Lam is not easy to joke. He is a serious person. In the entertainment circle, everyone praised him as a very serious, dedicated and hardworking actor. He will be familiar with his lines before shooting, and he will never use body double. Ching-Ying Lam thinks this is his respect for the profession of actors.
At first, Ching-Ying Lam was a stuntman and gradually became famous. Later, he became a martial arts action director. During his martial arts instruction, he also cooperated with Kung Fu superstars Bruce Lee and He, which shows that martial arts is very high. 1983 acted as an action director in the comedy "Five Lucky Stars" and won the best action director in the 3rd Hong Kong Golden Awards. He took every job seriously, and through continuous efforts, Ching-Ying Lam began to become a director and actor.
By chance, Mr. Zombie, starring Ching-Ying Lam, was accepted by the public and received high praise and evaluation. This zombie movie made Ching-Ying Lam famous at once. Since then, when people mention Ching-Ying Lam, the first thing that comes to mind is the zombie movie, which seems to have become his label.
In China's traditional concept, ghosts and gods are unavoidable, and making supernatural films is mostly unknown. Ching-Ying Lam, a professional zombie movie user, isn't afraid of an accident? Well said, no matter which line has its own rules, most people still believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and Ching-Ying Lam must follow the rules when making zombie films.
Ching-Ying Lam abided by four rules, which made his career step by step towards this line. What are these four rules?
Rule 1: Ask the expert to watch the shooting time.
In daily life, China has an old rule, that is, counting the days. Whether you get married, build a house, or fly away, you will look at the lunar calendar to see which time is better. People who attach great importance to these things will ask the master to count the days. Shooting a zombie TV series like Ching-Ying Lam will take a long time to develop in this industry. Before filming or shooting TV, we will find a Feng Shui master to see which day is suitable.
Zombie-themed TV shooting locations are mostly in abandoned old houses, late-night hospitals and deep mountains and forests. Shooting in such a venue will increase the sense of atmosphere and make people feel horrible. Zombie movies are mostly shot at night. Without sunshine, the crew will be afraid. Find a master to look at the shooting location and shooting time, and start shooting when you choose the right one, which will also alleviate the fear of the crew to some extent.
Rule 2: Let the host choose the shooting location.
Zombie movies must be filmed in a more secretive and horrible environment in order to make better movies.
In some places, murder really happened. If you choose this place, you must burn incense and sacrifice, and turn over the dead here. This is a crucial step. Before shooting, we should hold a start-up ceremony, burn incense and worship Buddha. I hope there will be no casualties during shooting and the shooting can go smoothly.
Rule 3: Give the actor a red envelope.
Red envelopes first appeared in the Song Dynasty and became popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They are lucky money given to the younger generation by the elders of a big family. Now we have this custom all the time during the Spring Festival, which means to send good luck and wish good health.
Making movies with supernatural themes will also give red envelopes to actors, including not only actors, but also all crew members. Giving everyone a red envelope represents good luck and indicates good luck. The amount of each red envelope will not be very large, and everyone is trying to make a good start. I hope everyone will be safe during the filming.
Rule four: shout "cut" after shooting.
When you watch a lot of shooting tidbits or interviews with actors, you will hear a "card" indicating that the shooting is over. At the end of every day, in many film and television shooting, the director will shout card. This not only represents the end of filming, but also represents that actors should jump out of the role, not indulge in the role in the play and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Ching-Ying Lam has always adhered to these four rules in the filming process, and he has been safe and sound in the filming process of zombie films for many years. These four rules are now adhered to by many directors, and everyone hopes that their film and television works can be successfully completed.
When Ching-Ying Lam was preparing the second sequel to a zombie movie from 65438 to 0997, he found himself suffering from liver cancer when he went to the hospital for a physical examination. As an actor, he has no time to rest after filming. Ching-Ying Lam is still an alcoholic. Under such influence, his health was damaged and he died soon. In this way, the good actors in people's minds left, and a generation of zombie leaders left.
Ching-Ying Lam has been away from everyone for more than 20 years, and his zombie movies still look classic. We feel sorry for the death of such an excellent actor. Besides, I want to give you a suggestion. You must cherish your health while working hard.
