Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?
Chapter 49 Chronicles of Hong Kong in the Past 7
Perhaps it was the success of his acting career, or perhaps it was the effective psychological counseling provided by Teresa Carpio, but until 82, Leslie Cheung focused all his energy on his work, spending most of his free time playing mahjong with friends.
Although he had a relationship with a female celebrity during that time, he wasn't in a rush to get married this time. Instead, they took their time getting to know each other. Later, because they were both too busy with work, they broke up peacefully, but they remained good friends.
On December 9th of that year, at a banquet held by Leslie Cheung's godmother, Cheung Yuk-lin, at the Regent Hotel, he met Mr. Tong. Both he and Mr. Tong were Cheung Yuk-lin's godsons and had known each other since childhood, but had never been in contact. Perhaps this was a predestined fate. In this life, Leslie Cheung did not suffer setbacks in love. Through Teresa Carpio's years of efforts, Leslie Cheung no longer felt much lack in his emotions, but the two still fell for each other.
Leslie Cheung was extremely serious about relationships. He was truly the kind of person who "had nothing to hide from others," living a very open and honest life. He also hoped to receive blessings from others. He always thought, "This is who I am. Why should I hide or deceive?" His mind was as simple as a child's, but the adult world is always full of complexity and darkness.
Once the relationship between the two is confirmed, it needs to be reported according to company regulations. After all, they are celebrities, and the company must know these things in a timely manner so that it can control public opinion and prevent the artist from getting involved in negative news. Hong Kong paparazzi are too crazy. If you don't prepare in advance, just wait for them to make things more and more outrageous.
Upon receiving the report, Liu Yuxi was already thinking about how to persuade Leslie Cheung not to be so high-profile in showing off his relationship. Actually, he wasn't high-profile at all; who doesn't go shopping, have meals, and watch movies when they're in love? But the current social environment isn't as tolerant as it is in later years. Even in the early 2010s, if an idol officially announced their relationship, the fans would go crazy. Let alone now, especially since they lost to a gay man. Wouldn't that drive them even crazier?
Although the company usually trains its artists to guide their fans to focus on the artists' work, most of Huanyu Artists' fans are still very rational in their pursuit of stars. But who doesn't have some die-hard fans?
This is a tricky situation. It's possible to keep Leslie Cheung in the dark for a while, but it's unrealistic to expect him to keep it a secret indefinitely. It seems like it's time for a wave of "bromance" culture to take hold. Liu Yuxi is really something else as a boss…
Everyone in the company knows that the big boss has a special fondness for Leslie Cheung. Of course, everyone also knows that the boss doesn't have romantic feelings for Leslie Cheung; he's more like a fan. But when Leslie Cheung was signed to the company, he was nobody. So where did this fandom come from? It's always been a mystery. However, everyone just envies Leslie Cheung for being chosen by the big boss. The company treats all its artists well, at most occasionally teasing Leslie Cheung.
After Mr. Tang visited the company several times, everyone learned about the relationship between the two. Everyone wondered if Leslie Cheung would fall out of favor with the big boss this time. However, just a few days later, many novels about male-male and female-female relationships appeared in Hong Kong newspapers. Although many people could not accept love between people of the same sex, the novels were so well-written that everyone was engrossed in reading them.
People can be brainwashed, either by being brainwashed or by themselves. With the proliferation of homosexual literature, people are less averse to same-sex love when discussing the plot and protagonists of these novels. Of course, this is an extremely slow process.
When artists from the entertainment industry are interviewed and asked about new relationships, they sometimes joke, "I don't even know if I'm attracted to the opposite sex or the same sex yet, haha. I'll tell you guys when I'm sure and have someone in mind." If only one person does or says something, people might think that person is an oddball. But if everyone does or says the same thing, then it seems pretty normal—that's the herd mentality.
In a later interview, Leslie Cheung gradually revealed that he already had a lover, but he did not make Mr. Tong public. He followed Liu Yuxi's advice and did not have too many intimate actions with Mr. Tong in public.
In Liu Yuxi's words: "You're so young now, and your fans can't accept that you have a partner while you're in the prime of your life. No matter who that partner is, they'll feel they're not good enough for you. If you go public with Mr. Tang now, it will only put him under the spotlight from now on, leaving him with no privacy. Moreover, some of your fans and some media outlets will make some negative comments. We're not pounds; not everyone will like us. You're in the entertainment industry yourself, so you should have a more direct understanding of this. If you just adopt an attitude of neither denying nor going public, and wait until your fans' children are in school, if you're still single, they'll be anxious even if you're not. When you're over forty and still single, I think they'll all be urging you to get married."
He felt that what Boss said made a lot of sense. He was already living in the spotlight and couldn't selfishly drag Mr. Tang into it. Although the paparazzi in Hong Kong were powerful, if he paid more attention, they wouldn't be exposed in the short term.
Liu Yuxi also made a statement to the Hong Kong paparazzi circle: if anyone photographs the undisclosed relationship of an artist under her company, they can contact Universe Entertainment first. Money is not a problem. Most paparazzi are after money. With this double insurance, Leslie Cheung's life couldn't be more comfortable.
People in the company say that the big boss used to treat Leslie Cheung like a treasure, but now they treat him like a son. Because the boss is young and doesn't put on airs, she would even ask for autographs and photos whenever she saw them. So, except when she was in a meeting, you really couldn't treat her like a boss!
Although Leslie Cheung's record label changed, the Hong Kong entertainment industry is only so big, so his friends from his past life remained his friends. He even brought several future famous Hong Kong artists into the company. In his words, there was no better company to be found again.
Liu Yuxi is patriotic at heart, so in 90, he established a branch of Huanyu in Beijing, copying all the systems from the head office. Although it was difficult at first, once he had people and works, and others made money, he could then get others to follow the rules he set.
She dislikes Aunt QY, so she's been targeting Aunt QY's films and TV shows for years. Whether in Hong Kong or mainland China, teenagers' values shouldn't be poisoned! What the hell is this "You only lost a leg, but Zi Ling lost her love!"? Stop this nonsense!
After Universal Music established itself in Hong Kong, because Universal Music never remade or covered everyday songs, more and more creators emerged. Isn't it better to develop your own music? By the time the Japanese and Korean pop waves were rising in the original world, Liu Yuxi had already achieved cultural export. We are determined to let those tiny people know that Chinese pop culture is the coolest.
