Coincidentally, with Hong Kong's senior media person, Zhang Guorong friend Cha Xiaoxin agreed to interview in Tsim Sha Tsui, the famous Intercontinental Hotel, the lounge huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows is the Victoria Harbor's unrivaled sea view. Cha Xiaoxin to the West China Metropolis Daily reporter said, in this place, more than 20 years ago, leaving Zhang Guorong's "glimpse of the world", this glimpse, still y engraved in her mind: "too beautiful".
Cha Xiaoxin and Leslie Cheung know in the micro-time, friendship for decades, she did for his first concert in Hung Hom magazine; he was always in her need without hesitation to help each other. She is a person in the circle, witnessed the prosperity of Hong Kong's entertainment industry and the growth of superstars in that era; and she is also a member of the media, maintaining the objectivity and calmness that the media should have. Cha Xiaoxin eyes, Zhang Guorong on feelings "very serious", in the two well-known relationship, whether it is Mao Shunyun, or Tang Hedong (Tang Tang), outside the always around countless "why", today, by her to answer.
A/He and she Mo Shun-筠, from lover to brother and sister
(Mo Shun-筠 is what kind of a woman?). "Have you ever seen her in a comedy? That's her now, married, with two daughters, very cheerful and happy." Cha Xiaoxin is talking about the somewhat maniacal happy-go-lucky girl in Family Guy, but she wasn't like that when she met and fell in love with Leslie Cheung).
Proposing to her scared off "Linda"
"She didn't used to talk much, and she was in the 'Lai's' (a Hong Kong TV station that has now changed hands and been bought by 'ATV'). ATV' acquisition) in addition to hosting programs will also shoot TV dramas, then played the 'Dream of Red Mansions' in the Lin Daiyu, you can imagine what she was like at that time. The face is just chubby, and a little baby fat." Zhang Guorong entered the "Li's", saw this chubby girl, and thought it was so beautiful. The two did not really pursue each other, very naturally together dating, and soon proposed, did not want to put less than 20-year-old Mao Shunyun scared away.
The lover became a sister
After a long breakup, they didn't see each other for a long time, and then they met again when they were approached to shoot "A Family Affair" together. The two played crazy while filming, and much of the plot was of their own design, such as the mahjong playing bridge that both loved. This cooperation allows Zhang and Mao Shunyun regained friendship, Zhang said that at that time, we are mature, more concerned about each other, dating when the avoidance, accommodation, constraints have disappeared no longer, the lover has become a sister, loved ones, more tacit understanding of the precious. Two people found that in many things are very compatible, playing cards is more incisive, the two once on the mahjong table to Lin Qingxia and Liu Jialing to gasp for air, dizziness away from the table. "Later we also have dinner together, but are not talking about the year again. They were very close, like brother and sister, casually cracking all kinds of jokes. Mo Shun-kiun was hosting for Hong Kong Cable TV in 2001, specializing in interviewing artists. Leslie Cheung was there too, and you have to realize that was pretty special because Leslie Cheung hadn't done interviews for a long time." On that occasion, the two were nestled comfortably on the sofa with their legs crossed, chatting, and Mo Sun-Kwan said that she didn't know how to cherish it back then, and was too innocent; and Leslie Cheung said, "You may have changed my life.
B/He and him
Tang Tang first willing to say this about Zhang Guo Rong
(Teresa Mo once said this about the first time she met Tang Tang: "The heart is a little bit not the same, thinking, what kind of character will he be? I remember it was in the back garden of my house in Vancouver, and he stood on the slope so I could see him, and I saw him then, and I knew he was a good guy, and I've always liked him to this day, and then I understood why everyone liked him.")
He's a slow burner
Cha Xiaoxin also likes him, "I met Daffy (Tang Tang) at the Mandarin for a long time, and at that time, Leslie Cheung was already very popular, and we'd often just have tea, meet up and chat. One day when I was interviewing him at the Mandarin, he brought Daffy out, and I didn't know his Chinese name at that time. He was a very quiet person, he didn't make a sound, and he sat next to us and accompanied us as we talked. He came out afterward, but because he was shy and I didn't want him to be embarrassed, I didn't talk to him. However, although he did not speak, but also very engaged, heard the funny will also laugh along. Zhang would sometimes ask him specifically 'What do you think about this?' He will speak a sentence or two, until now is also very quiet."
From Cha Xiaoxin's observations over the years, Zhang Guorong has an infinite dependence on Tang Tang. Zhang said, I like him, because he is good, to me really good, he will love the house again, to friends, colleagues are righteous, to me, simply no words!
"Daffy is very tall, very handsome, very concerned about the quality of life. My feeling, he is a little slower, calm, Zhang Guorong is very fast, very anxious. Regardless of life, mood aspects, a lot of things to deal with Zhang Guorong are handed over to Daffy, Daffy will also get it right. Like many artists, Leslie Cheung needs the care of others. For example, to open the concert, he will be closed all day in the room rehearsal, practicing songs, dancing, a day can work twelve or thirteen hours. You need to rely on other people to do things at home, personal things, and Daffy is such a person, a very reliable person."
He stays in great shape
Ten years on, Tang Tang only occasionally appears in the press, "I often bump into him because he often goes to the Peninsula Hotel, where Leslie Cheung also liked to go when he was alive. I sometimes go to drink tea, and occasionally run into him, still will not make a sound, very quietly nodded with you. He tried very hard to keep everything the same, his state of life, his whole person, not wanting to look haggard. For the first two years he was still living in the same house he had with his brother. Fortunately, he has a group of very good friends, many times to go to the house to chat and play mahjong, encountered Leslie Cheung's birthday, the anniversary of his death will be commemorated together. He also likes sports, playing badminton, a three four times, so the state to keep very good."
In the long time after Zhang Guorong's death, Daffy and Chen Shufen meet can not mention the name, each other dare not. "It's a little bit better in these years, this time Daffy took three photos he took with Leslie Cheung out, one put in the photo book of Wing Hsia [microblogging] for Leslie Cheung, and the other put in two commemorative books. I've read them, and there's a writing by Leslie Cheung in them, and Daffy has written a paragraph as well. It's the first time he's been so cooperative, willing to take something out, and can talk about Leslie Cheung like this." Ten years, perhaps the wound gradually calmed down, but Cha Xiaoxin confessed that Tang Tang will not fall in love with someone else: "Not because of pressure, he has given all his love to Leslie Cheung."
The next generation of red faces
They said: now do not speak, I do not know there is not another decade to speak
The most thankful woman: Chen Shufen
Chen Shufen, Zhang Guo Rong's life agent, but also one of the most important women in life.
"I asked Tiffany Chen, you are mother and son? Sister and brother? Friends? Teacher and student? She said, I will not tell. I guess, any identity. Chen Shufen really loved and cared for him, I remember one time Zhang Guorong's concert was to be released on DVD after the concert, I had lunch with her, she looked very tired. She was, 'a few nights without sleep, watching concert videos, choosing bit by bit, how to be the most perfect'." Cha Xiaoxin frankly said, on these very fine and fine things, Chen Shufen can be no matter what.
"Mrs. Chan and Daffy the same, they do not want to make people feel that in taking Leslie Cheung to publicize, this time to say that will be the scene to reveal a hidden ten years of information, she told me on one side, one side of the side of the crying, she said, now do not speak, do not know there is not another ten years to come to speak." This tenth anniversary of the event, Cha Xiaoxin described as "unbelievable". "Chen Shufen thought of a lot of things, such as the exhibition in Times Square, the center of a huge bust of Leslie Cheung two people high, walk into the venue room covered with fans to Leslie Cheung folded paper cranes, but also to apply to break the Guinness Book of World Records. Photographs, songs, images, and Daffy personally selected, a variety of commemorative value of the clothes. Five different computer screens outside the venue, scrolling clips of scenes that Leslie Cheung has filmed. The magnitude of the project was really impressive. In fact, by the end of the day, Leslie Cheung and Tiffany Chan were no longer in a relationship between artist and agent, they were close friends."
Most beloved sister: Anita Mui
The same agent, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui, are best partners on stage and as close as brother and sister in private.
Once Leslie Cheung had a terrible stomach ache, but still for Anita Mui as a guest of honor at the concert, and did not show a hint of pain, Anita Mui was moved to tears afterwards. Zhang Guorong once said that although he and Anita Mui in private not too much contact, but their tacit understanding is very good, they do the program together as long as a look, an action can be matched flawlessly.
"Leslie Cheung loved Anita Mui, but she had too many friends. Before not red, when the two people together on stage, more contact. Later, Anita Mui red after too many people around, although still good friends, and before or some different. However, my brother is still very worried about her, once Anita Mui was late for an hour and a half at a book signing, and the reporters were all kinds of negative reports, just when I ran into Leslie Cheung at the Peninsula Hotel, he was very anxious to say to me: 'Look at her being late again, it's no use for me to say that, you go and talk about her.' It's the kind of thing that hurts but there's nothing you can do about it." Cha Xiaoxin said. Leslie Cheung once joked with Anita Mui that when we get to 40 and you're not married and I'm not married, we'll be together. As a result, he died first, after he left, Anita Mui has not been out of the house, in tears at home for her brother to pray for blessings, I did not expect that she also died in 2003, the year she was exactly 40 years old.
First public girlfriend: Ni Shi Bei
The first publicly recognized girlfriend of his brother was not Teresa Mo, but a woman called Ni Shi Bei. Many people don't know who she is and what she has acted in. However, she was the only one recognized by the media as her brother's real girlfriend, and the two were regarded as the golden couple, posing for photos in front of the news media, but the romance was later put on hiatus as the flowers fell and the water ran cold. In the course of Zhang Guorong's love, modeling, with a poetic name, she should not be an accidental point of water "passing dragonfly" it!
The first person called "brother": Joey Wong
Mention of Leslie Cheung can not be bypassed Ning Tsai-shen, can not forget Joey Wong. Wang Zuxian once revealed himself in the "Sinister Spirit" in the "demon gas" is too heavy, almost crying Zhang Guo Rong, Wang Zuxian also said, Zhang Guo Rong at that time is very young, let him and the fruit civet, snake acting rivalry, he was scared out of the fast crying. However, it is a pity that the rivalry between Zhang Guorong and the fruit beaver did not appear in the finished movie.
The greatest commemoration for Leslie Cheung is the title of "Brother". The female ghost "Siu Sin" Wang Zuxian in the play called Ning Caixin with "brother" two words, and then Wang Zuxian called smoothly on the set when also so called, did not expect the cast and crew followed suit, coupled with Zhang Guorong is also very much like this name, and over time, everyone is The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
Times to carry the female artists: Cecilia Cheung
Cecilia Cheung's best friend, can also be said to be the division is Cheung Kwok Wing, the two have cooperated in the music movie "left and right love affair", a difference of more than 20 years of age to play a couple, but it is very compatible, and in this regard, the establishment of a deep friendship. The two co-produced a movie to become a good friend, and Zhang Guorong also doubled to Cecilia Zhang, has publicly praised Cecilia Zhang, and is sure that in the circle can become the successor of only three, Cecilia Zhang, Nicholas Tse and Lin Jiaxin. Cecilia Cheung has said that when she was hospitalized in a car accident, her brother often visited her, and in order for her to get well soon, he gave her the amulet that he hung around his neck. After his death, Cecilia Cheung was very mournful and felt that if the amulet had not left her brother would not have had an accident.
Best friend told
Cha Xiaoxin: Leslie Cheung is two-faced
Some people say that the rejection of Mo Shunyun, so that her brother was hit and lost confidence in women, Cha Xiaoxin does not think so: "Leslie Cheung is two-faced. One is very crazy, playing mahjong can make you crazy. He loved to sing Cantonese opera, and when he touched a card, he would hum a tune and sing, 'Hey, what kind of card is this one'; on the other hand, he had the sensitivity that many artists have, and he cared a lot about other people's comments. Mao Shunyun is not the first girlfriend of Leslie Cheung, the first is Ni Shibei, then puppy love (adolescent love). Although Cheung was very serious about his relationship, he was devastated, I don't think it was that serious. You know Leslie Cheung is so handsome, many girls like him. I didn't even know they used to date until after they separated for a long time. Because both of them were not popular at that time, they didn't pay attention to it. Later on, when both of them became more famous, the relationship was only rehashed, and it was actually a pure and innocent love."
