Andy Lau's father died, and the big names in the entertainment industry gathered to say goodbye, but Jacky Cheung was absent, what is the relationship between the two?
Recently, Hong Kong king Andy Lau's father Liu Li died of illness at the age of 89. Andy Lau held a funeral and cremation ceremony for his father on December 5 and 6, respectively, and many people in the film industry came to mourn, showing the unity of the entertainment industry.
However, on such an occasion, Andy Lau's old partner Jacky Cheung did not appear, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung are both singers and actors who are both "Four Heavenly Kings", what is the relationship between them?Why didn't Jacky Cheung come to say goodbye to Andy Lau's father?Are they really at odds?
The intersection of Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung can be traced back to the first decade of the last century, when they were both popular students in Hong Kong films and had collaborated on many films. They are also leading figures in the Hong Kong music scene, and have sung on the same stage at various award ceremonies and concerts, such as "The Days We Walked Together" and "No Defense Tonight". Their fans also often compare their songs with their singing skills, such as "Forget the Love Water", "With You All the Way", etc. It can be said that they are both partners and competitors.
However, as time went by, Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung communicated less and less, and they did not interact even when they were on the same stage. Some people believe that this is because their personalities are incompatible, Andy Lau is outgoing and lively, and Jacky Cheung is introverted and calm. This is because their careers are in different directions, with Andy Lau developing more in the mainland and Jacky Cheung touring more overseas. This is because their status is unequal, Andy Lau is the almighty king, Jacky Cheung is the god of songs, they both have unshakable status in their respective fields, and there is an unbridgeable gap between them.
However, these are just speculations from the outside world, and neither Andy Lau nor Jacky Cheung himself has responded positively to their relationship. Jacky Cheung once said in an interview that he and Andy Lau are not at odds, but they are not very close, and sometimes they want to call Andy Lau, but they don't know what to say. Andy Lau also once said in an interview that he and Jacky Cheung are competing friends and rivals, and he can only be a supporting role in movies with Jacky Cheung. From their words, it can be seen that there is no grudge between them, just a sense of distance of mutual respect.
As for the reason why Jacky Cheung did not come to bid farewell to Andy Lau's father, perhaps only he knows. Maybe it's because he's busy touring, maybe it's because he doesn't want to attract the attention of **, maybe it's because he feels that this is Andy Lau's private matter and it's inconvenient to meddle. In any case, there should be no groundless accusations and speculations against him, after all, the relationship between him and Andy Lau can only be understood by themselves.
The death of Andy Lau's father is a major event in the entertainment industry, and it is also a life test for Andy Lau. At such a moment, Andy Lau should be given more care and support, rather than paying attention to the relationship between him and Jacky Cheung.
Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung are both artists we admire and love, and their ** and movies have brought us countless joys and touches. Their choices should be respected and their future should be blessed. What do you think?Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section.
