洛杉矶张国荣致敬影展图文报道
2)致敬影展张国荣生平简介
Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing was born in Hong Kong on September 12, 1956; the youngest of ten children, his father was a successful tailor—and a largely unsuccessful father, as Leslie later recalled being a lonely and emotionally-neglected child. After receiving his education in both Hong Kong and Britain, Leslie went on to major in Textiles at Leeds University, but was called back to Hong Kong only a year later when his father became ill. Although his father hoped the young Leslie would take over the family business, Leslie’s destiny was changed forever when his performance of Don McLean’s “American Pie” earned him second place in the 1977 RTV Asian Song Contest. A year later the photogenic Leslie starred in his first movie—Erotic Dream of Red Chamber—and for the next four years he honed his acting skills in RTV television series.
He returned to the big screen in 1982, appearing in films for both the venerable Shaw Brothers and Hong Kong’s “New Wave” filmmakers; his performance in Patrick Tam’s Nomad as a drifting, uncertain young man earned him his first of eight nominations for Best Actor in the Hong Kong Film Awards. After releasing four CD’s, his 1984 song “Monica” (from the CD of the same name) won nearly every major Hong Kong music award, and his 1985 series of concerts established him as Asia’s biggest pop star.
Leslie followed that success with his performance in 1986’s A Better Tomorrow (directed by John Woo and produced by Tsui Hark), which not only became Hong Kong’s biggest film of the year, but also marked the Hong Kong film industry’s emergence into global cinema. A year later Leslie received his second Best Actor nomination for A Better Tomorrow 2, and also starred for producer Tsui Hark in A Chinese Ghost Story, which became a worldwide hit. After again winning all of the major music awards in 1987 for his song “No Mood to Sleep”, Leslie starred in Stanley Kwan’s 1988 arthouse hit Rouge, and also became the first Asian star signed to represent Pepsi Cola.
In 1989, Leslie was voted number one in Commercial Radio’s “Top Ten Most Beautiful People in Hong Kong,” and he shocked his fans when he revealed that he wanted to retire from music to concentrate on acting. His decision seemed to pay off, since in 1990 he won Best Actor for his performance as the sensual womanizer Yuddy in Wong Kar-Wai’s Days of Being Wild, and in 1993 he starred in Chen Kaige’s universally-acclaimed Farewell My Concubine, which earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Film and set a new standard for gay-themed films. As if to boldly demonstrate his diversity, that same year Leslie played a swaggering swordsman and lover to Brigitte Lin’s title character in Ronny Yu’s exquisite period fantasy The Bride With White Hair, and received a Hong Kong Film Awards Best Original Song nomination for “Hung Ngaan Baak Faat” (“Red Face White Hair”), which he not only performed but also wrote the music for. In 1994 Leslie was named Best Actor by the Hong Kong Film Critics Society, for his performances in Wong Kar-wai’s Ashes of Time, as well as He’s a Woman, She’s a Man, It’s a Wonderful Life and Long and Winding Road. 1995 and ‘96 saw Leslie give two of his funniest performances, first in Tsui Hark’s The Chinese Feast and then in Derek Yee’s Viva Erotica; 1995 also saw Leslie’s return to music, as he released four CD’s that year alone. As Hong Kong was being handed over from Britain to China in 1997, Leslie played a petulant gay lover adrift in Buenos Aires in Wong Kar-Wai’s Happy Together, garnering Best Actor nominations from both the Hong Kong Film Awards and Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards, and in 2000 he cemented his status as Hong Kong’s preeminent gay icon when he dedicated a song during one of his concerts to his longtime partner Daffy Tong.
As the Hong Kong film industry experienced a slump in the early 2000’s, Leslie seemed to focus more on music, although his performances as a gun-obsessed psychotic in Double Tap and a troubled psychiatrist in Inner Senses garnered him more Best Actor nominations. On April 1, 2003, Leslie shocked his legions of fans by leaping from a 24th-floor balcony of a luxury hotel in downtown Hong Kong, leaving only a note that cited “depression.” His funeral services were attended by roughly 10,000 fans, and his passing was mourned by virtually every member of Hong Kong’s entertainment community (where he was known simply as “Gor-gor,” or older brother). As director Chen Kaige wrote in memorium, “Leslie was a rare flower in Hong Kong’s entertainment world, which only blossoms once in a century.”
参考译文
张国荣(Leslie Cheung)于1956年9月12日生于香港,是家里十个孩子中最小的一个。他的父亲是一个成功的制衣商,却是一个极不成功的父亲,以至于Leslie日后回忆自己是一个孤独寂寞,情感上被忽视的孩子。Leslie先后在香港和英国接受了教育,并且考入英国里兹大学修读纺织专业,但是一年后因为父亲病重被召回香港。虽然父亲期望年轻的Leslie继承家族生意,但是在1977年丽的电视台举行的亚洲歌唱大赛上,Leslie以一曲Don Mclean的《American Pie》夺得亚军,从此改变了一生命运。一年后,形象出众的Leslie出演了他的第一部电影《红楼春上春》,随后四年里在丽的电视台的电视剧集里磨练了他的演技。
1982年,Leslie重回大银幕,在传统的邵氏电影和香港新浪潮电影中都有演出。在谭家明导演的电影《烈火青春》中,他成功地扮演了一位漂泊无助的年轻人,赢得了香港电影金像奖最佳男主角提名,这是他八次提名金像奖影帝中的第一次。1984年,他出品的第五张专辑唱片《Monica》中的主打歌曲《Monica》获得了香港音乐界几乎全部大奖,1985年的一系列个人演唱会更是确立了他作为亚洲首席歌星的地位。
1986年,Leslie出演电影《英雄本色》,再续成功之路。这部电影由吴宇森导演,徐克监制,不仅是当年香港最佳电影,也标志着香港电影事业冲上世界银幕。一年后,Leslie以《英雄本色II》中的精彩表演赢得了第二个香港电影金像奖最佳男主角提名,同年演出的徐克作品《倩女幽魂》,也轰动全球影圈。随后,Leslie的一曲《无心睡眠》包揽香港音乐界所有最高荣誉,在关锦鹏作品《胭脂扣》中的表演再一次获得金像奖最佳男主角提名,并受邀成为百事可乐的首位亚洲代言人。
1989年,Leslie在香港商业电台“十大靓人”选举中名列第一。同年,他做出了令歌迷们震惊的决定:退出乐坛,专注电影事业。他的决定似乎得到了回报,1990年,他在王家卫作品《阿飞正传》中扮演的对女人有致命诱惑的雅皮士为他赢来了香港电影金像奖最佳男主角奖。1993年,他出演陈凯歌作品《霸王别姬》,这部电影在全世界受到广泛好评,获得美国奥斯卡金像奖最佳外语片提名和法国戛纳电影节金棕榈奖,他扮演的痴迷于事业和爱情的艺术家也获得了戛纳电影节最佳男主角提名。同年,他扮演的另一个迥然不同的角色证明了他演技的全面性和多样性,那是于仁泰作品《白发魔女传》中一位狂放的剑侠,与林青霞扮演的女主角陷入苦恋,他亲自作曲并演唱的主题曲《红颜白发》获得了台湾电影金马奖最佳原创歌曲奖。1994年,Leslie以在王家卫作品《东邪西毒》中的演出获得香港电影评论协会最佳男演员奖,同年在《金枝玉叶》中的演出获得香港电影金像奖最佳男主角提名。1995年和1996年,Leslie献出了两次精彩的喜剧表演,一个是徐克作品《金玉满堂》,一个是尔东升作品《色情男女》,后者再一次获得香港电影金像奖最佳男主角提名。1995年也是Leslie重返歌坛的一年,他在那一年里出品了四张专辑唱片。1997年,当香港回归中国大陆之际,Leslie在王家卫作品《春光乍泄》中扮演了一位漂泊在阿根廷的任性的同志情人,兼获香港电影金像奖和台湾电影金马奖两个最佳男主角提名。二十一世纪初,当香港电影陷入低潮之际,Leslie似乎更多地致力于发展音乐事业,成功举行了上百场世界巡回演唱会,但是他在《枪王》中扮演的痴迷枪技的精神病人和《异度空间》中烦恼缠身的心理医生又为他赢来三项最佳男主角提名。
令所有爱他的人们震惊的是,2003年4月1日,Leslie从香港市区中心的高级酒店文华酒店二十四楼阳台一跃而下,只留下了一张写着“Depression”(抑郁)等词句的便条。他的葬礼有数万名香港公众参加,他的离世也使香港演艺界每个成员都陷于深深的哀悼之中。正如陈凯歌在回忆文章中形容的那样:“Leslie是香港演艺界百年一放的奇花。”
