Zheng Peipei said Leslie Cheung was the first friend to "come out" to her.
Zheng Peipei and Leslie Cheung in "Woman Thirty Three"
In 1978, Zheng Peipei and Leslie Cheung starred in "Woman Thirty Three" . It was a story of a big girl and a little boy in which the two played lovers. Then there was a very normal filming interval of , Leslie Cheung suddenly talked to Zheng Peipei about his sexual orientation .
Zheng Peipei said she was a little surprised at the time. Because "How can such a normal person and such a perfect person be gay?"
later in an interview, Zheng Peipei said that was because Leslie Cheung was gay, and she suddenly realized that sexual orientation is not a problem. It cannot judge a person's quality. And, "If there are any characteristics of the homosexual community," Zheng Peipei concluded, "that is all outstanding!"
"Really! Look at the same-sex-oriented groups around you, they all have expertise in one aspect. "
"For example...a designer?" the host added.
"Yes, including the designer." Zheng Peipei continued, "At that time Leslie Cheung was not very popular---he hadn't concealed it. He really regarded me as a sister and told me something intimate."
In fact, it is not a secret in the circle about the "orientation" of "Brother" (Leslie Cheung).
Wang Jing also mentioned in an interview, "The only person I see is Leslie Cheung." The phrase "look away"
does not mean that there is a problem with his brother’s character or style. It refers to Wang Jing from a director, From the perspective of a producer, judge whether a certain artist will "fire".
Wang Jing went on to say the basis for his judgment, ""Across the World"! What a great film! Leslie Cheung performed well in it, and handsome! As a result, the audience choked in front of the audience when he ran the announcement. 'Shhh'! Whistling, booing... I felt it was over at the time, he would not be popular forever!"
"Why?" Wang Jing pondered the reporter's question, "Need to talk! He is gay! Who could accept this at the time!"
In "Across the World", brother A bang
, we can understand from Wang Jing's narration. In fact, people in the circle not only knew about the orientation of "brother", but also to a certain extent. His development is hampered--- is a heavyweight like Wang Jing and slanders him. How difficult is it for an artist to participate in good works? ! can be said that Leslie Cheung has grasped every olive branch thrown to him, rejected by the mainstream society, with acting skills and charm, difficult to gain a foothold in the swing of capital.
Fortunately, my brother was relatively optimistic in the early days. He even teased others about his "orientation".
's "He Baorong" is the eternal "bright moonlight" in my heart ("Happy Together")
For example, when filming "Happy Together", when Tony Leung defended the right to "underwear" on the set. Not only didn't help persuade the director, but also made fun of others, "Now you know how difficult it is for me to play'heterosexual' for so many years"? ! "
friends who have watched this film know that "Spring" is a gay movie. director Wang Jiawei puts the love and pain between Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung on the love and pain, nostalgia and unacceptable filming It is extremely tense, and even has crossed the theme of same-sex love, hitting the audience on the big motif of love. In order to maintain the last insistence of being a heterosexual, Tony Leung resolutely refused the director’s "pants" in a certain scene. "Take off" request, resolutely control myself not to really fall in love with my brother-because of this, he was "relentlessly mocked" by his brother.
Love in "Happy Together"
It seems that Tony Leung's persistence won. Because in the movie, we can only seeTwo beautiful young men play "partial truth" (the truth is naked). But a long time later, when Tony Leung recalled the past, he also said, "I regret not listening to the director's opinion at the time." How to interpret.
may not be finished or stopped abruptly is the footnote of my brother's visit to the world.
