Seventeen years ago, a generation of superstar Leslie ended his life on April Fool's Day in 2003, leaving behind a number of popular songs, films and television works. The famous work "Monica" by his brother Zhang Guorong was written by Peter Li, who still felt that his brother's departure was very unreal.
The annual April Fool's Day commemorates my brother's brother, whose good friend Peter Lee has hung up on him for years.
I don't believe Zhang Guorong died
Peter Lee shared his feelings in an interview: "In fact, Leslie walks, and Bruce Lee walk has a common point, that is, it is very unreal. When he left on April 1st, Oda called me that day, and I said to him, "Don't play," April Fool's Day."
At first, Peter Lee thought that Lai Xiaotian was teasing him on April Fool's Day: "'You say Leslie is gone?' Still going to jump off at Mandarin Hotel?' This lie is too big." He didn't want to believe his brother had died: "But that's the way it is. The reality is very cruel, no way, can not accept." Who thought it was Providence that made people.
In 1984, Peter Lai's "Monica" made his brother famous overnight, establishing him as a superstar in the Hong Kong music scene.
Lovelorn Creation of "Monica"
Peter Lee recalled: "At that time, I had a friendly relationship with Oda, and he told me that Leslie was very good, but he lacked luck. Unexpectedly, after I wrote "Monica" to him, it was like the current "washing", which made him a hit. It's a lot of luck. ”
He confessed that he was in the period of lovelessness when he wrote "Monica": "When Oda swung down only songs, I forgot about it for more than a month and kept it under the counter. Later, he urged me to deliver, and I told him that I was in love, so I didn't have the heart to write. ”
Later, Peter Li figured it out: "The first sad song is a slow song, I want to break the box, I want to write a sad song with fast songs." Just lost love, just let me write the story of me and my ex-girlfriend, the truth is presented in the lyrics. Flesh and blood! ”
He continued: "I was in my 20s at the time, and I felt that I had always had only her in my heart. Because I am so poor that I have low self-esteem, I have not struggled well and how to talk about love. ”
Zhang Guorong is very affectionate
"Monica" concludes the love story of Peter Lee and his ex-girlfriend, and opens a new page for his brother's acting career.
His brother, who has soared to become an emperor superstar, sees Peter Lai as his benefactor, and no matter how busy he is at work, he will still take time to meet each other, and from time to time he will meet Peter Lee to drink coffee at the Regent Hotel.
Ascending to the throne of the superstar doubled his brother's fame and fortune, but his brother still did not have half a shelf, And Peter Li laughed: "We often meet and party, occasionally play sparrows together, he is a 'eighth wife', he can say anything." Tongfeng Que friends also include Chen Jieling, Xu Xiaofeng, Mei Yanfang and so on.
Peter Li misses the past time: "People should come out to eat face to face, everyone is a group, eating and playing together, not facing machinery, if you have a relationship with machinery, you will lose people's feelings." 」 ”
He sighed: "The relationship between them has become more and more distant, and it used to be very touching, but now it has become very sad. ”
17 years have passed, and Peter Li has not forgotten his brother's thoughts, just as his brother has not forgotten him after he became a superstar.
