What's the feud between Leslie Cheung, the king of the 1990s, and the entertainment circle?

In a blink of an eye, 16 years passed. Life in Leslie Cheung was still on April Fool's Day 16 years ago. Because of his departure, this happy day was covered with a gray gauze. Therefore, people who miss him simply forget this festival and hold one commemorative ceremony after another for him wholeheartedly. Magnificent, all over the mountains. In a word, people have been thinking about him. We might as well talk about the feud between Leslie Cheung, the king of the 1990s, and the entertainment circle, and understand his life story from another angle.

The competition in the performing arts industry is fierce, and ordinary peers are reluctant to raise offspring. But Leslie Cheung is an exception. Apart from special guidance, he often gives new opportunities inadvertently. He has made many outstanding artists, such as Louis Koo. At that time, Louis Koo was a punk, living at the bottom of the entertainment circle all day, just to make a living. As for Leslie Cheung, his career is in full swing, and the slightest sign of trouble will attract public attention.

On one occasion, Vivian Chow took Louis Koo to do odd jobs and asked him to buy coffee. He went honestly, but secretly vowed in his heart that he would be superior in the future and would not be looked down upon. This scene was seen by Leslie Cheung. Therefore, when he participated in the programs of Wu Junru and Huang Weiwen, he said, "I think we can pay attention to two people, Louis Koo in acting and Ku Kuiji in music." At that time, Wu Junru and Huang Weiwen were blindsided, because they basically didn't know these two people. Only then did the major media focus on these two young people and began to report their information in a large space. Later, Louis Koo became an instant hit with the 1995 version of The Condor Heroes, and was also called "the last star in Hong Kong" by Du Qifeng. Why do you say that? Because he never hypes, he is very dedicated and attaches great importance to feelings and righteousness, so he has been paying attention to the life at the bottom of society. As we all know, Louis Koo donated hundreds of schools, held a funeral for Lan Jieying, and contracted all the expenses. From this perspective, we have to admit that Leslie Cheung has a pair of "eyes" to know people.

1992, Ku Kuiji is in charge of tvbi. When he went to interview Leslie Cheung on the set of Ashes of the Times, he was still a novice. Two years later, he released his first album Explanation of Love, which coincided with Leslie Cheung's mention of his name on the radio. Leslie Cheung saw Ku Kuiji's musical talent from that album, so he mentioned his name in public many times and introduced him to famous music producers. Besides, as a superstar, he often teaches Ku Quidditch privately. Later, Ku Kuiji really lived up to expectations and became an all-powerful male singer on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Debuted for 20 years and released more than 30 albums. A few years later, when he heard the recording supported by Leslie Cheung, he burst into tears and said, "I missed my brother's radio interview that year. After 20 years, I finally heard it through the bustling network. Thank you, brother. I won't let you despair. You are a respected superstar in my heart. "

In the early years, it was widely rumored that Dicky Cheung was Leslie Cheung's cousin. At that time, Dicky Cheung was still working in a magazine. In order to fulfill his musical fantasy, he had to stay in the bar after work. After a chance, he knew Leslie Cheung's fixed telephone number, so he often dialed this number to try his luck. After many troubles, Leslie Cheung finally received a phone call from Dicky Cheung. After that, he introduced Dicky Cheung to sing in a restaurant and said that Dicky Cheung was my cousin. 1984, Leslie Cheung encouraged Dicky Cheung to take part in the singing contest and instructed him to sing his own song "Love Interspersed" before the final. Dicky Cheung won the championship, so people ask about his relationship with Leslie Cheung, because he has a high degree of similarity. He generously said that he was Leslie Cheung's cousin, but Leslie Cheung never understood, but told his peers to take care of him. Unexpectedly, before long, there were media rumors that Dicky Cheung became famous by the title of Leslie Cheung, and I basically had no strength.

At this time, Leslie Cheung clarified the relationship between them in Ming Pao, and said that Dicky Cheung is not my shadow, he has his own style and strength. I think this is why Hong Kong media often say, "One idol a year, a hundred years in Leslie Cheung"! A friendly elder is not only willing to support his offspring, but also willing to support them, which is very rare.

Leslie Cheung has taken care of countless new people, many of whom have become the mainstay of Hong Kong's music and film industry. In fact, there are also stars in the Mainland who are taken care of by him, and Chiu Man-Cheuk is one of them. Chiu Man-Cheuk has just arrived in Hongkong, and his acting skills are average, so he can't speak. He often hides in the corner when the crew is eating and taking pictures, and rarely talks about life. Once seen by Leslie Cheung, he invited him to sit beside him and introduced him to Anita Mui as a fitness instructor. Wang Leehom is certainly not a mainland star, nor is he an artist from other parts of Hong Kong. He and Leslie Cheung had an indissoluble bond with the shooting scene of "Smoke flies and smoke goes out". Leslie Cheung heard that he had no friends and connections, so he said to him, "When you come to Hong Kong in the future, I will be your family. If you don't want to stay in a hotel, you can stay in my house. "

In addition, Wang Jiegang was rejected by big-name artists when he debuted, and Leslie Cheung also stood out for him. In the background of TV recording, Leslie Cheung saw him crouching in the corner and shouted, "What are you doing here alone? Come with me! " Then I stood in the center of the stage with him, invited him to dinner after the performance, and left the opportunity to take pictures to the media. Years later, when Wang Jie talked about Leslie Cheung, he choked up and said, "I remember my brother's most influential sentence. He said that artists should never make fakes, but should set an example for fans. Rumors will not last. "

After talking about male artists, let's talk about female artists who are "favored" by Leslie Cheung. He once called Karen Mok my niece. In his more than 20 concerts, Karen Mok was invited as the guest the most times. Later, Karen Mok had his own music world. When he gave his first concert, the male guest invited was Leslie Cheung. In addition, Leslie Cheung often takes Vivian Chow to KTV to practice songs. When I talked to her about her acting career, Leslie Cheung casually said, "I'll write you a song. A week later, he really wrote "If You Know My Difficulties", which became a classic of Vivian Chow.

In the film and television circle, 43-year-old Leslie Cheung regards 19 Cecilia Cheung as her own sister. When making a musical, the first heroine that comes to mind is her. In 2002, when she was in a car accident, Leslie Cheung took out her amulet and said, "This amulet has always followed me, and it has always protected my life. Now I give it to you and let it continue to protect you. You must take good care of it. " When filming Ashes of Time, Yang Caini played opposite Maggie Cheung and Leslie Cheung. At that time, she was still a rookie. Even if she has only a few short lines, Leslie Cheung will practice with her countless times. She said, "Without my brother's help, my acting career would not be so smooth."

After many people came into contact with Leslie Cheung, they all said that he didn't put on airs like a star and was very approachable. Wang Shuqi once said: "My brother not only didn't despise me, but took care of me!" In his mind, Leslie Cheung is undoubtedly a model figure among the stars, with sound and shadow, and is polite to others. I think this is not only because of Leslie Cheung's virtue and skill, but also because he always thinks of others. When Brigitte Lin first entered the film industry, he was not only rejected by his peers, but also threatened by gangsters. At that time, no one dared to speak for him, only Leslie Cheung stepped forward, first criticizing her colleagues in the newspaper, and then secretly looking for someone to defend her.

In 2003, indecent photos of Carina Lau's kidnapping were published in newspapers. Anita Mui called on 100 stars to launch a "Heaven and Earth Will Not Allow" campaign. Although Leslie Cheung was desperate, he still insisted on supporting him there, and finally forced Oriental Weekly to stop publishing indefinitely. But after Zhao Yan's door was exposed, no one spoke for Cecilia Cheung, Gillian and others. I think that people who have been in the entertainment circle have forgotten that someone was so warm and virtuous. Youth is gone, but virtue lives on. Leslie Cheung will live in our hearts for a long time, longer than the world, the sun and the moon. ...
