You may not have heard of Zhang Xuezhi, but you must have heard of his younger brother, Jacky Cheung. At that time, Zhang Xuezhi asked his brother for help, saying that he wanted 6 million to tide over the difficulties. But Jacky Cheung, who has become a song god and once paid more than 800,000 yuan for Mei Yanfang's medical expenses, "cruelly" refused his brother's request, and the brothers did not interact for more than twenty years until they were reunited at their father's funeral, leaving a sigh.
Is it Jacky Cheung who "sees death and does not save", or is there another reason?
A few days ago, Jacky Cheung sang at the Hong Kong Sister Beauty Pageant Final, at this time it has been exactly 20 years since he last helped the Hong Kong Sister Competition.
Jacky Cheung always said that he is a "vested interest" in the Hong Kong music scene: he has witnessed the Hong Kong music scene from the beginning to the peak, and then from the peak to the downhill.
"And I'm lucky enough to be at the forefront."
But today's god of song has almost ruined his future with his own hands.
When people describe talent, they always like to say that God appreciates rice to eat, but generally When God appreciates rice, he will only give half a bowl, and the remaining half bowl will rely on his own life to earn.
Jacky Cheung's meal is not only half a bowl - one bowl is singing, one bowl is acting. However, Jacky Cheung, who has just entered the society, still knows nothing about these.
Having worked as a clerk and a ticketer, Jacky Cheung at that time was still a social animal sealed in the cubicle.
At the age of 23, Jacky Cheung stood out in the Hong Kong 18th District Amateur Singing Competition with a song "Grace of the Earth", so he was selected by the record company.
Jacky Cheung's first album sold 200,000 copies, which can be said to be very lucky compared with Zhang Guorong, who was snubbed when he debuted.
Two years later, his "Sun and Stars" was even predicted by music critics: "It can change the Cantonese music scene".
However, the Cantonese music scene did not change so quickly, and it was Jacky Cheung who changed first.
Jacky Cheung's new works plummeted in sales, and the huge gap made him feel stressed, so he began to indulge in alcohol.
The absurd thing is that the alcoholic Jacky Cheung not only made a big fuss about Mei Yanfang's birthday party, but also got drunk at his good friend's wedding banquet and the child's full moon banquet.
One farce after another made Jacky Cheung's reputation plummet, and in the three years of the late 80s, as long as he took the stage, the audience was bound to boo. Luo Meiwei, who has been in a relationship with Jacky Cheung for two years, also announced her breakup with him in public.
At this time, Jacky Cheung suddenly woke up and felt that he had been yawning for too long.
At the suggestion of a friend, Jacky Cheung found Chen Shufen, a gold-medal agent who won the popularity of Mei Yanfang and Zhang Guorong, hoping that she could help her revive her career.
Chen Shufen said that it was no problem, but Jacky Cheung must promise her that she would change the problem of drinking and making trouble from then on.
In front of Chen Shufen, Jacky Cheung vowed on the spot not to touch alcohol until he was 40 years old.
At that time, Jacky Cheung was 33 years old, and it had been 10 years since his debut, and it was not a simple thing to return to the peak after the word of mouth was broken.
So, while preparing a new song, he developed a second skill for his livelihood - acting.
At most, Jacky Cheung made 9 movies a year.
That year, wong Kar-wai's script was rejected, and he was very unconvinced.
After Andy Lau accidentally saw the script, he said that he was willing to play one of the male protagonists.
Who else is there to play?
Wong Kar-wai pulled Jacky Cheung. The unlearned and self-righteous "Black Fly Brother" was born, and that movie was "Carmen in Mong Kok".
The sunglasses king who came out in early 1988, Andy Lau who just left TVB, and Jacky Cheung when he fell, three men have achieved classics in the history of Hong Kong films.
The scene that became Jacky Cheung's well-known emoji was filmed three times, and he later won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actor.
This is also the first Academy Awards performance award of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Of course, at that time, they were not yet called the "Four Heavenly Kings".
In 1991, Jacky Cheung began to turn over in the music scene, and began to win awards to get soft hands, and Luo Meiwei was also chased back by him. 、
A year later, the media began to refer to him, along with Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok and Dawn as the "Four Kings", and they became the most iconic symbols in the history of Hong Kong entertainment.
In 1993, "Kiss Goodbye" cut 4 million sales throughout the year, and Jacky Cheung began to explode in full swing, repeatedly breaking records.
With the help of Chen Shufen, Jacky Cheung's world tour embarked on a journey from the beginning of 1995, with 100 concerts, the total number of spectators reached 2 million, creating a record for Asian singers to hold concerts, and was recognized by Guinness World Records, Jacky Cheung also became the first Asian singer to hold a concert in Madison Garden Square;
In the same year, Jacky Cheung released the album "True Love", with cumulative sales of more than 10 million copies;
At the World Music Awards Ceremony, the two awards of "The World's Highest Selling Asian Pop Singer" and "The World's Highest Selling Chinese Singer" were both collected by Jacky Cheung;
In 1997, Jacky Cheung participated in the planning, directing and starring of the original musical "Snow Wolf Lake" in Hong Kong for 42 consecutive performances, with a cumulative number of more than 300,000 viewers, which not only refreshed the performance record of the Hong Kong Red Pavilion, but also created a box office record for Hong Kong musical performances;
After repeated canonizations, Jacky Cheung's status in the entertainment industry has no one to shake.
Along the way, Jacky Cheung and Luo Meiwei also cultivated positive results, gave birth to two lovely daughters, in the eyes of the audience, he is not only a superstar who can sing and act, but also a good husband and father without lace news, but also a good boy with love and righteousness.
When Ke Shouliang actively raised funds for flying over the Yellow River but was in a small amount of money, Jacky Cheung learned that his move was for the country and the people, and without saying a word, he transferred 200,000 yuan to Ke Shouliang's bank account, and this kindness has always made Ke Shouliang remember;
Later, Ke Shouliang successfully flew over the Yellow River, created history, and scattered the family wealth, so that after his death, the Ke family could not even take out the money for the funeral, and it was Jacky Cheung who stood up and solved the urgent need for them.
Jacky Cheung anonymously donated 200,000 yuan, and also single-handedly pulled Ke Shouliang's son to become a singer, when Ke Shouliang's daughter got married, it was also he and Andy Lau who joined hands to complete the wish of his old friend to send his daughter to marry.
Mei Yanfang, who died in the same year as Ke Shouliang, was the sister of Jacky Cheung's wife Luo Meiwei.
Mei Yanfang has always taken good care of Luo Meiwei and his wife before she died, and when she died, she was also accompanied by Jacky Cheung and Luo Meiwei, and even in the last moments of her life, she took Jacky Cheung's hand and left.
Unfortunately, when Mei Yanfang died, her family was in a desperate fight for the inheritance, and no one wanted to settle the cost of Mei Jie's treatment in the hospital, and the deceased Mei Jie almost had to bear the name of "Lao Lai".
At this time, Jacky Cheung, who was dressed in filial piety and sitting in the seat of his relatives, quietly got up and went to the hospital to pay more than 800,000 yuan for treatment, which protected Mei Jie's last dignity.
Such Jacky Cheung, known as "the last good person in the entertainment industry", can be in the circle with friends of Jacky Cheung, why to the side of the family, but become "six relatives do not recognize"?
When his brother Zhang Xuezhi pulled down his face to borrow 6 million yuan from him, why did Jacky Cheung refuse so cruelly?
Years later, Jacky Cheung admitted that because he refused to lend 3 million yuan to his brother Zhang Xuezhi, the two brothers described strange roads, which has always been their own knot.
Can you be replaced by you, this 6 million, will you lend it out?
Like Chow Yun-fat, Jacky Cheung's father was also a good seafarer.
Under the influence of his father, Jacky Cheung and Zhang Xuezhi knew how to spend money at a very young age, the difference is that after growing up, Jacky Cheung began to know that money was not easy to come by, and after entering the entertainment circle, he gradually focused on his career.
But Zhang Xuezhi has always been obsessed.
In order to let his brother walk on the right path, Jacky Cheung painstakingly arranged for Zhang Xuezhi to be responsible for his own performance activities, etc., but Zhang Xuezhi did not quit du because of this, but sank step by step.
Jacky Cheung has also repaid several du debts for his brother, but he can't stand Zhang Xuezhi too much to love du, and Jacky Cheung will make money again and fill the bottomless pit.
After Yan Ci refused to pay for his brother's mistakes, Jacky Cheung announced in the newspaper that he would no longer pay off the debt for Zhang Xuezhi, but under the bitter pleading of his mother, Jacky Cheung still paid back the money for his brother.
But all this, Zhang Xuezhi was not satisfied in his eyes.
He complained that Jacky Cheung was "ugly and out of the house", and said that his brother, who was worth hundreds of millions, did not help him, and finally ran away from home.
Later, perhaps smoothed out by the poor and depressed life, Zhang Xuezhi slowly changed Du Bo's vices and returned to his family.
But his relationship with his brother never returned to the past, even at his father's funeral, the brothers had little communication.
After the funeral, Jacky Cheung was interviewed by the media, and when asked about his brother, his expression was difficult to express, and regret, relief, and sadness were mixed together.
Ruptures are often regrettable.
The close friends of Miriam Yeung and Huang Weiwen, because after the trivial affairs broke up, they can still use a high song to repair the rift and reconcile as before.
But Jacky Cheung and Zhang Xuezhi could not wait for that day.
In any case, I believe that Jacky Cheung must have been painful at the moment when he made his decision.
The absurdity of their father made their brothers' childhood full of panic without a meal, and their mother washed her face with tears all day long, but her brother was also ignorant.
If so, who wants to make a fuss to the end, and the brothers and sisters will not interact with each other?
In "Time Has Tears", Jacky Cheung once sang: "Over the years, we have all made mistakes, and in the end, there is only a process, no results." "Some regrets, in the end, can only be regrets."
