His sudden death left behind a lonely Mr. Tang, a group of sad fans, and a mystery that has not been solved yet: Why didn’t Andy Lau who had been friends with Leslie Cheung take part in it? Brother's funeral?
Absent Mystery
On April 1, 2003, Leslie Cheung jumped from the fitness center on the 24th floor of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, using his own life to make a huge "joke" to the world.
Six days later, Leslie Cheung’s funeral was held in the Hong Kong funeral home. Anita Mui, who had been crying at home for 6 days, was supported by others; Chow Yun-fat and his wife Chen Huilian, dressed in formal attire, attended the ceremony; Anita Yuan attended the funeral and wept in front of Leslie Cheung's portrait; Zhang Weijian, Edison Chen, Sammo Hung, Tony Leung, Lin Qingxia, Chung Chuhong, Famous movie stars such as Alan Tam attended the event.
But it is strange that Andy Lau, the "good old man" in the circle, was absent. Except for the absence of Leslie Cheung's funeral, Andy Lau did not even go to the funeral the afternoon before the funeral.
According to Andy Lau's own explanation, the reason for not going is that he was filming that day and didn't know about it. But just the day before the funeral, Andy Lau also sang "The Love of the Year" with Liming, Aaron Kwok, and Jacky Cheung at the Golden Statue Awards ceremony to pay tribute to Leslie Cheung. The reason for "I don't know" is hard to convince.
Is there any grievance between Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau?
Liu Zhang's friendship
What can be clear is that Leslie Cheung is friendly and gentle to Andy Lau. When
Leslie Cheung retired from the music scene, some media asked him to comment on the four kings of heaven, and he was very beautiful about Andy Lau;
Leslie Cheung rushed to the audience to hug Andy Lau after receiving the Golden Needle Award;
Leslie Cheung won the Golden Melody Award At that time, he sincerely encouraged Andy Lau on the stage, saying "I hope you can get this award in the future."
But Andy Lau's feelings for Leslie Cheung should be closer to envy, jealousy and hatred.
It is rumored that Leslie Cheung has repeatedly "robbed" Andy Lau's roles and songs. The original protagonist of "Happy Together" was Andy Lau, who was later replaced by Leslie Cheung; the song "Love for You" originally belonged to Andy Lau, but the copyright was directly bought by Leslie Cheung's music tutor; the protagonist of "A Fei True Story" was originally Andy Lau, but because Leslie Cheung performed better, Andy Lau became a supporting role later.
When Andy Lau participated in "Kangxi Is Coming", Xiao S asked him if he had any thorny spots in the entertainment industry. Andy Lau clearly stated that he did, and also said that "he is no longer there", which almost clearly indicated that Leslie Cheung's thorny spots were in his eyes. Both
and He Shengliang
all kinds of signs indicate that at that time, Andy Lau and Leslie Cheung were likely to be in a competitive relationship, and Leslie Cheung had the upper hand.
They are very different people.
Leslie Cheung is free and easy, is proficient in smoking, cursing, and playing mahjong. He never regards himself as an "orthodox idol". He is both elegant and approachable. Regarding his love affair, he is even more unconcealed. If he loves Mr. Tang, he is in love. He says that if you want to make it public, you must make it public, not afraid of others' gossip.
And Andy Lau is cautious and always maintains his image as a "perfect idol". What he shows to the media is always his restrained, polite, decent and tolerant side. Regarding his marriage, he dared not make an announcement to the world. After being photographed by the media, he would come out to apologize to fans and ask for forgiveness.
Maybe Andy Lau also envied Leslie Cheung to live freely, jealous of Leslie Cheung can easily stand at the top of the entertainment circle, hate why I have to work so hard to stand on the same level with him.
regards them as ordinary colleagues with a little grudge. Perhaps you can understand why Andy Lau did not attend Leslie Cheung's funeral.
