In the history of Chinese films, "Farewell My Concubine" is undoubtedly a landmark work. This feature film, directed by Chen Kaige and starring Leslie Cheung, Gong Li, and Zhang Fengyi, tells the story of the joys and sorrows of two Peking Opera singers for half a century, as well as their firm dedication to opera and life. However, during the filming process, there was an episode caused by Ge You's words, which made Leslie Cheung change his name from then on.
At that time, Ge You played a small character with a complex personality in the film, and had a lot of rivalry with Cheng Dieyi played by Leslie Cheung. In a gap between shooting, Ge You inadvertently said: "Hey, the role of my brother is not easy to play!" This sentence was originally said casually by Ge You, but Leslie Cheung listened to it in his heart.
From then on, Leslie Cheung began to call Ge You "elder brother", a title that lasted until the end of his life. This change not only reflects Leslie Cheung's respect and recognition of Ge You, but also reflects his devotion and focus on the work "Farewell My Concubine".
The success of "Farewell My Concubine" is not accidental, behind it is the hard work of countless staff and actors. This film has not only won many awards at home and abroad, but also become a classic in the history of Chinese cinema. Among them, Leslie Cheung's superb performance and unique charm have contributed a lot.
In retrospect, that episode seems to be an interesting episode in the movie, but it has become a special memory between Leslie Cheung and Ge You. This not only shows Leslie Cheung's respect and recognition for actors, but also shows his professionalism and personality charm in his acting career.
In addition, this vignette is also a reminder that in our daily lives, our words and actions can have a profound impact on others.
