Seven Days Rebirth / Rigor Mortis The "Zombie" that Mai Junlong pays tribute to "Mr. Zombie" once made Hong Kong film fans look forward to it. Under the general trend of co-productions between China and Hong Kong, the production of once-popular ghost films has been greatly reduced due to the mainland's restrictions on "leading people to superstition." "Zombie" is reminiscent of the golden age of Hong Kong-produced films, and it seems that it has also embarked on the "local" route that has emerged in recent years. If the so-called "local" route is based on the background of co-productions as the mainstream, "Hong Kong films" respond consciously based on cultural anxiety. "Frustrated middle-aged," like "Pulp Comedy." But Mai Jun Longzhi is not here. He does not have all the vitality of the above-mentioned "local" route, but instead inherits his dark route in music. The protagonist "Qian Xiaohao" uses the actor as a model, allowing the audience to understand the role according to their knowledge of the actor. Actor Qian Xiaohao has starred in many zombie films. He was once a smash hit, but now he is not as famous as before. The "Qian Xiaohao" in the movie lives in a dilapidated public housing estate. He hangs himself in the murder house and is rescued by the Taoist priest Chen You who has no zombies to catch. The atmosphere of the development is just like that of "Fighting the Ring." The actors who have been recruited to play some of the middle-aged/elderly who are no longer beautiful are like "mouldy" as a Hong Kong film; and the plot develops, when the protagonist regains his glory, It seems to mean that Hong Kong movies can also be refreshed. In the ending, Chen and Qian eliminated the zombies, but the plot twisted and a counter-climax came. It turns out that the previous battle was probably a fantasy just before "Qian Xiaohao" hanged, just like the legendary "Memories before Death". It was he who reappeared the most beautiful days (starring in the popular zombie film) in the form of fantasy in an instant. Then his "son" came to recognize the corpse, he looked invisible, and his voice seemed to be Mai Junlong. If so, "Zombies" does not once again cheer for the so-called "local" movies, but pessimistically refers to those "local" sceneries that cherish the past are only "fantasy/memories before death", and even if Mai Junlong is the successor, it is only Come to "recognize the corpse." And even "Zombie" itself is not immune to this splash of cold water. The plot of the final stage of the final battle was rebutted and the setting was chaotic. It can be seen that this drama is not only nostalgic, but also accepts the old problems of poor scripts in Hong Kong movies. In the design of the scare scene, there is no innovation, just like the Peng brothers, it is performed by sudden sound effects and sensory operations of "ghost rushing to the camera", plus some models such as imitating "The Shining". Waiting for the scenes that are not interesting in narrative, it can be seen that the director has many ideas, but he has not digested them properly. Mai Junlong's enthusiasm is worthy of recognition, but there are too many areas for improvement in his skills.
