523. Sorry, I didn't hold back (Chapter 8)(1/2)
When she was young, Leslie Cheung saw her friend being beaten up by her parents, her eyes were full of envy. Later, when Leslie Cheung was interviewed, she said: "From the birth to the death of her father, the family will be together for no more than five days."
Parents were originally the best teachers for their children, but Zhang Huohai and Pan Yuyao became the opposite textbooks. Many years later, the two words that Leslie Cheung described his father the most were "selfish".
Of course, selfish parents also love their children, otherwise their father would not spend a lot of money to send him to study in the UK, hoping that he would inherit his legacy!
Unfortunately, all this disappeared in his freshman year with his father's death and he had to return to China to deal with his father's funeral. The factory also went bankrupt with Zhang Huohai's death. This is why his brother did not become a tailor.
After becoming famous, Leslie Cheung had always wanted to make up for his lack of family affection, which was too difficult. He wanted to bring his mother to his side and invited her to play, but his mother asked him politely: "Can I use your bathroom?"
This sentence hit him a big blow. My brother has been looking for family affection all his life. He regards many people as his family. He said: "I don't like others calling me Leslie or Leslie. I like calling me brother, so that I feel more friendly and family-friendly."
My father and mother have different feelings. They rarely return home except holidays throughout the year. Since childhood, they have lived separately from their parents. Leslie Cheung was raised by the worker Sixth Sister.
Leslie Cheung's father is a very awesome tailor. In addition to Leslie Cheung's mother, he also married a concubine. This woman quarreled with Leslie Cheung's mother every day. She hated her once picked up the urinary pubicle and pressed it on Leslie Cheung's head.
Therefore, Leslie Cheung has no feelings for his father.
My mother also has a great gap with him and his brothers and sisters, and it is difficult to communicate with each other, and he talks like a stranger.
The brothers and sisters above him have very indifferent family affection, basically in groups of two, and rarely have any situations of being particularly close to each other.
Looking back on his childhood, Leslie Cheung said, "There is nothing worth remembering, nothing worth nostalgic for me."
This also left a big shadow in Leslie Cheung's heart. He always kept a low profile whenever he talked about his family.
Although Leslie Cheung and his brothers and sisters have different growth paths, many family members have become leaders in their respective industries when they grow up. The Zhang family's influence spans the political, business, academic and performing arts circles, and has a great influence in the Xiangjiang society.
Zhang Luping, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, was 18 years older than Leslie Cheung. After graduation, she was an active member of the Hong Kong women's circle. She served in many high positions during the British and political affairs period of the Hong Kong government, including the founder and first director-general of the Hong Kong Consumer Council, former member of the Women's Committee for Women's Affairs, etc. In 1978, she was selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong. She is the person Leslie Cheung admires the most.
Zhang Luping's second husband, Leslie Cheung's eldest brother-in-law, Ian Ma, worked as a government official in the Hong Kong government in the 1970s and 1980s, second only to Gang Hong Kong. After retirement in 1985, he served as vice president of the Xiangjiang Civil Servants Association. He is also one of the behind-the-scenes officials in the preparation for the Xiangjiang University of Science and Technology and the vice president of the school.
So my elder sister Zhang Luping has a very status and status in Xiangjiang.
Other family members are either rich or noble, and they have no worries about food and clothing. They seem to be not very concerned about Bomi Company's promise to pay them.
On the contrary, Zhang Luping believes that if the world still needs Leslie Cheung and needs to appear as a symbolic image, then they can accept it.
"As long as you don't insult and slander my brother in the movie, don't deliberately slander him. Do something that damages his reputation, I think it's acceptable." Zhang Luping said.
Ai Xiaomi was a little surprised because she didn't expect it to be so smooth.
"Definitely not. This movie is full of positive descriptions of the brother, and there will be no content that is harmful to his reputation." Ai Xiaomi swore to the sky.
"I have a question," Zhang Luping asked, "Since the movie is called Resurrection Leslie Cheung, then my brother will be resurrected in the movie, right?"
"Well...it's the case in form, but we still have to keep it confidential for the specifics." Ai Xiaomi said.
"So where does life come from without death?" Zhang Luping continued to ask, "Will you mention how my brother died in the movie?"
"Please rest assured that this is not mentioned at all." Ai Xiaomi swears to the sky.
Um?
Everyone here felt a little strange when they heard their conversation.
They all raised their heads and thought.
Zhang Luping’s words make sense.
Where does life come from without death?
You don’t mention how Leslie Cheung died in the movie, so how did he be resurrected?
Zhang Luping raised her head, frowned, and her face was covered with wrinkles.
About ten seconds passed.
"Okay, forget it, then we'll be relieved."
Since she couldn't figure it out, she was too lazy to pursue it.
She didn't want to get involved in movie-related matters. Since they had already made swearing to God, you couldn't say anything.
Zhang Luping turned around and asked the other family members, "What do you think?"
...
After waiting for about half an hour, the Zhang family discussed a result and agreed to Bomi Film and Television to shoot with Leslie Cheung's image, but as Zhang Luping said just now, an agreement must be signed before the filming.
We guarantee that there will be no scenes related to Leslie Cheung's death in the movie, and we will not mention how Leslie Cheung died.
And in the movie, no acts that insult Leslie Cheung or tarnish his reputation shall be allowed.
"Don't worry, we still want to be in the entertainment industry. We are also a conscientious company and will not do such a thing," said Ai Xiaomi. "If we do this, fans will not let me go first."
After reaching an oral agreement, Ai Xiaomi and Zhang family agreed to sign a relevant cooperation agreement with a lawyer the day after tomorrow, and would add the content discussed just now in the agreement.
...
"By the way," Ai Xiaomi remembered Cao Yang's instructions before leaving, so he asked, "We want to pay tribute to Mr. Leslie Cheung before making this movie. I don't know where he is buried now."
No matter what, you should pay tribute to the deceased out of respect for the deceased.
What's more, the deceased is Ai Xiaomi's idol.
"This..." Everyone looked at each other.
Zhang Luping stood up and said, "You may have to go find Tang Tang."
...
Tang Tang is the nickname of Tang Hede.
Tang Hede was Leslie Cheung's favorite person in his life.
Before being with Tang Tang, Leslie Cheung had experienced several relationships
Mao Shunjun, Ni Shibei, Yang Noss...
During the last period of time when they were with Yang Nuosi, the relationship between the two entered a period of fading, and they even had few greetings and birthday wishes.
At this time, Leslie Cheung's career was just right, and he was eager to have a love relationship.
Because he lacks care since childhood, his biggest wish is to find a lover who can rely on each other.
At that time, he didn't know that there was a man waiting for him around him, constantly expressing his love for Leslie Cheung in various ways.
This person is Tang Hede, who met Leslie Cheung when he was a child.
When Tang Hede was in middle school, he was a school-level celebrity. He looked handsome and tall. He was fascinated by many girls, and he didn't know how many girls were crazy about it.
As an adult, Tang Hede worked in the financial industry. He spoke elegantly and had a gentle appearance. He always exuded a particularly charming smell, and was so handsome that he had a strong sense of security.
During the trough period of Leslie Cheung's life, Tang Hede helped him and kept cheering him up, accompanied him through the difficult period step by step, and gave Leslie Cheung a sentence: I will always support you!
At this moment, Leslie Cheung was completely moved.
Tang Hede also received the highest evaluation of "purstrous product" and "hard and clean". It is not easy for a man to receive these two praises at the same time.
In 1985, Leslie Cheung reached another peak in his career with the song "Touching Nia", and he really knew who he really loved.
So, when Yang Nuosi came home during the holiday, he told him frankly. Unexpectedly, Yang Nuosi understood him very much. Not only did he not get angry, he turned over and comforted him. He was worthy of being a daughter of a famous family, and he was really generous.
In 1997, Leslie Cheung, who had always been so happy, generously admitted his life's "love" Mr. Tang on the stage of his concert.
Facing the tens of thousands of fans in the audience, he sang the song "The Moon Represents My Heart" and expressed his love to Tang Hede.
Unexpectedly, his actions unexpectedly gained the understanding and support of fans. Not only did he not object, but he received countless applause and blessings.
After the relationship between the two became popular, they often went out to have sex. Tang Hede even gave up his high-paying banking job and stayed with his brother to manage his financial work, which made countless couples envious.
Leslie Cheung even used the three words "I love you" to the limit, and publicly stated that he would not say "I love you" to the second person, and these three words were only left to Mr. Tang.
Tang Hede was even more infatuated with his brother. He never refused to chat with others. Because of his handsome appearance, people often chatted with him on their own initiative, but he never chose to refuse.
In 2000, Leslie Cheung held a world tour concert. The costumes designed by designer Paul Gaultier caused controversy. Leslie Cheung, who pursues art in his heart, was once again criticized by the secular world.
In 2002, Nicholas Tse's ex-wife Cecilia Cheung had a car accident. Not only did her brother visit the hospital in person, but he also gave her close-fitting amulet to Cecilia Cheung, hoping to make her safe for the rest of her life.
However, no one knew that at that time he was already deeply in the pain of depression.
On April 1, 2003, he left a suicide note and asked loudly: "I have never done bad things in my life, why is this happening?", and then left the world in that way.
At the funeral, Tang Hede choked several times and needed someone to support him to stand. He was so sad that he could never have imagined that the people he loved for his life would eventually leave him in this way.
When Leslie Cheung was cremated, Tang Hede cried like a child.
After Leslie Cheung's death in 2003, the Gu family handed over the ashes to his beloved Tang Hede during his lifetime.
Mr. Tang chose not to be buried.
There are several statements that there is no burial. One of them is that according to the customs of Xiangjiang, if a person dies, he cannot be buried again, so Leslie Cheung's ashes are not buried.
Another one, perhaps because of Mr. Tang and Leslie Cheung’s years of mutual support, he became the person who understands Leslie Cheung the best.
Earlier, Leslie Cheung once said to his partner half-jokingly that he did not like to be buried.
Therefore, Tang Hede chose not to be buried in order to respect Mr. Leslie Cheung's opinions during his lifetime.
It’s right to think about it. Leslie Cheung, who is as gorgeous as a summer flower, loves freedom, is afraid of loneliness, and has serious phobia for closed spaces.
How could a person like the red tape that makes no sense after death but disturbs the living?
