Born in a middle-class family in Hong Kong, Cheung's father was in the garment industry, and he accumulated a lot of wealth with his diligent work and flexible business acumen. #张国荣 #
Even if he can make money, Zhang Guorong's father is not a good man. In addition to his wife at home, he also raised Xiao San outside. And the most luxurious hotel room in Hong Kong all year round, just to "talk" with some beautiful ladies.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > lack of love since childhood</h1>
Because the parents were very busy, they lost all ten children in the family to their grandmother and two servants. Zhang Guorong did not get the care from his parents, nor did he get from his brother and sister.
Because of the age gap, my brothers and sisters have people who can talk to themselves. For example, the eldest sister and the second sister can talk, and the seventh brother and the starling can also play together. Only no one and Zhang Guorong can play together.
Being absent from his parents for a long time has led to a very weak blood relationship. Years later, Zhang Guorong recalled his relationship with his parents: "It is not so much a parental relationship as it is just a relationship like a friend." ”
Zhang Guorong felt that his parents were very selfish and never wanted to live with him. Not to mention taking Zhang Guorong out to play, even if it is a luxury to meet with his parents. Because his parents simply didn't have the time or energy to pay attention to him.
After a long time, Zhang Guorong gradually got used to being alone and became very quiet. Later, when describing his childhood to others, he also used the word "deformed" to describe it, which can be seen that Zhang Guorong's childhood life hurt him greatly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="62" > The UK is still lonely</h1>
At the age of 13, because his father felt that Zhang Guorong's academic performance was too poor, staying in Hong Kong would face the dilemma of no school to go to, and it would make his father feel very faceless, so he sent Zhang Guorong to the United Kingdom to study.
Before getting on the plane, everyone in the family came to send Zhang Guorong, but Zhang Guorong did not have the same sadness. Just want to get out of this part of Hong Kong quickly, and then escaping Hong Kong seems to become a relief.
After arriving in Britain, Zhang Guorong once again fell into loneliness. Because there are only two Chinese in the whole school, Zhang Guorong, who has just arrived at the school, is very uncomfortable. Because he was also very lonely at home, he quickly adapted to the environment here. (So skilled that it hurts)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" > dreams shattered</h1>
Four years later, Zhang Guorong was successfully admitted to the University of Leeds in textiles. At that time, Zhang Guorong was very fond of textile majors and wanted to continue to study and become a design master.
However, the good times were short-lived, and Zhang Guorong, who was a sophomore in college, received a letter from his mother saying: "My father was paralyzed by drinking alcohol and felt that his time was short. So he let Zhang Guorong rush back.
When Zhang Guorong arrived home, he found that his father was not in danger, and he was relieved. After a while, Zhang Guorong felt bored and wanted to go back to The UK to continue his studies. But his father did not allow it, because he felt that when he died, Zhang Guorong could not be around to send him to the end.
Zhang Guorong's design dream was also shattered, and his father held out for more than a decade until he died in 1989.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > tricked into making scale movies</h1>
At that time, Zhang Guorong did not want to go to work, nor did he want to go to his father's company to help. I went to a school as a transfer student, met a group of friends who played music here, and accidentally entered the entertainment circle.
In 1977, the TV station held the Asian Singing Competition, and friends were ready to participate in the competition, so they helped Zhang Guorong sign up. But the friend was brushed off in the audition stage, and Zhang Guorong went all the way to the Final of the Hong Kong Region and won the runner-up.
At that time, the income of the entertainment industry was still relatively normal, even if the money earned by the red was not particularly much. Later, a producer invited Zhang Guorong to make a movie, and said that it was a movie with the theme of Dream of the Red Chamber, and he starred as the male number one, with a salary of 6500 yuan.
Zhang Guorong was immediately moved, which is the highest paid job since he entered the entertainment industry. So Zhang Guorong agreed and signed the contract.
However, Zhang Guorong found on the set that a large number of erotic scenes were added to the film. But Zhang Guorong did not dare to quit halfway, because the other party had a background in the underworld, and if he ran away now, he was likely to be beaten. Zhang Guorong finished the film with a hard scalp, but this film has now been banned.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" > was frustrated with singing</h1>
In 1984, Cheung Kwok Wing swept Hong Kong with "Monica". Although Zhang Guorong was singing very hard at that time, he was exchanged for a lot of boos and insults, which also made him feel discouraged.
In 1987, Zhang Guorong published an article in the magazine, "Cherish the Past, Affirm the Present, and Grasp the Future". That is, this year, Zhang Guorong opened 33 consecutive "farewell concerts" to officially bid farewell to the music scene.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="70" > overwhelmed him</h1>
In 1990, at the invitation of Wong Kar-wai, Cheung returned to Hong Kong and filmed "The Legend of Ah Fei". It is not only Wong Kar-wai's famous work, but also a sign that Cheung Kwok Wing has turned from the music world to the film world after experiencing the wind and rain.
With the advent of many masterpieces such as "Farewell to the Overlord", "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", "East Evil and West Poison", "New on the Beach" and so on, Zhang Guorong successfully transformed. It also gives it the right to change the environment, and he no longer needs to meet the evaluation of others.
Zhang Guorong made more than 70 films, which made him have the idea of being a director in his heart. In 2002, Zhang Guorong got ready and began to make his first film. But the only thing that he finds imperfect is that the investors are Japanese and mainlanders, not Hong Kongers.
However, this film was not completed in the end due to changes in mainland investors. For Zhang Guorong, a person who pursues perfection, it is undoubtedly a huge blow.
The abortion of this film dealt a devastating blow to Zhang Guorong and became the last straw that overwhelmed his life. In November 2002, he tried to commit suicide, but was unsuccessful. Five months later, he chose to live again, this time unloading all the burdens on his body.
After Zhang Guorong's sudden death, the police found a suicide note from him: This year has been so hard, can no longer bear it, thank you Tang Tang, thank you family, thank you fat sister, I have not done anything bad in my life, why is this so?
