Zhang Huo Marine Clothing Store in D'Aguilar Street, Central is a very famous tailor shop in Hong Kong, with a long history, as early as the fifties or so has been established, the owner Zhang Huo Hai is also well-known in Hong Kong, is a famous tailor king in Hong Kong, has a garment factory in Central, Hong Kong, and has a number of other business investments, and has also served as the head of the Hong Kong Zhang Clan Association and the Zhongsheng Winter Swimming Group.

Grant, Malone? Brando, William? Hollywood superstars such as Holden have also made special trips, earning him the nickname "TailorKing".

The signboard of Zhang Huo Marine Clothing Store is very large and conspicuous, and Liang Botao saw the signboard at a glance when he came to Jili Street.

"Boss, do you want to make custom clothes?" As soon as he walked into Zhang Kuohai's tailor shop, a guy immediately came over to greet Liang Botao.

didn't answer directly, after looking at the store, Liang Botao said, "Man, is your boss here?"

"Sorry sir, our boss has not done it himself for the past two years, and the other masters in our store are not bad at craftsmanship, and the clothes made will definitely be satisfactory to you."

"No, no, man, I'm not looking for your boss to make clothes, I'm looking for him to have something, this is my business card, you help me convey it" Seeing that the guy misunderstood himself, Liang Botao just explained briefly, and handed over his business card as he spoke.

Hearing Liang Baitao say this, the guy hesitated a little and took the business card, and then entered the inner hall of the tailor's shop, and it didn't take long for him to come out and invite Liang Baitao in.

"You are Manager Liang, hello"

'Hello Boss Zhang'

As soon as Liang Botao walked into the office, Zhang Kuohai, as the owner, was very enthusiastic, since the wind in the previous year, Zhang Kuohai's health has not been as good as before. Although he still insists on coming to the tailor shop every day to see, he no longer does it himself, so the business of his clothing store is much worse than before, Liang Botao's business card has the position of Wen Na's band agent, Zhang Kuohai's clothing company's biggest business source is those artists, for Zhang Kuohai, people like Liang Botao are his big customers.

"Manager Liang is looking for me for something?" the two politely exchanged words to each other, and Zhang Kuohai asked Liang Baitao after he sat down.

"Boss Zhang, I'm here today, first, I want to ask your garment factory to order a few clothes for my artists, and second, I want to meet your youngest son Leslie Cheung."

'You want to see Guorong' After listening to Liang Botao's words, Zhang Kuohai's expression was a little surprised. It is normal for the other party to order clothes from him, but he didn't expect Liang Botao to see Leslie Cheung.

'Yes, I have something I want to talk to your son about、、、、、、、、

Zhang Huohai has three wives, the main room is Pan Yuyao, and he also has two concubines. Pan Yuyao gave birth to ten children, but three of them died after birth, leaving seven children, the youngest son is Hong Kong's future superstar Leslie Cheung.

Chen Yihua thought that if he made a career in the media field, how could he let go of his brother Leslie Cheung, who had a prominent family. I am one of the three princes of Central, don't look at the Zhang family's business is not big now, only a small garment factory, in fact, Leslie Cheung's grandfather was the largest landlord in Guangdong Province. At that time, the Zhang family could be called a famous family in Guangdong. Leslie Cheung's father did not trust the British colonial government in Hong Kong, so he kept most of the money he earned from doing business in Hong Kong in the mainland. During the Cultural Revolution, Zhang's grandfather was killed, all assets were confiscated, and the Zhang family suffered heavy losses. But no matter how down-and-out he is, he is also a famous family, and he is still a little famous in Hong Kong.

And Leslie Cheung has an eldest sister Zhang Luping, who is also a celebrity in Hong Kong. 18 years older than Leslie Cheung, he entered politics after graduating from the University of Hong Kong, is an active figure in the Hong Kong women's circle, held many high positions in the British government of Hong Kong, is the founder and first executive director of the Hong Kong Consumer Council, and is one of the members of the Women's Commission.

"Guorong, have you talked to Liang Botao clearly?" Looking at the slightly young son in front of him, Zhang Kuohai asked in a deep voice.

In the afternoon, Liang Botao and Zhang Kuohai talked about wanting to sign Leslie Cheung and said that they wanted to train him to become an artist, Zhang Kuohai was quite surprised at first, but he did not object, he is not the kind of old antique and old feudal who looks down on movie stars, the most profitable business of Zhang Kuohai's clothing store is to help artists make clothes, and the reason why the Zhang family can live so much today is that artists play an important role.

'I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm going to go to Rolling Stone tomorrow and see what it's like there'

In 1969, Leslie Cheung went to the United Kingdom to study alone, and after graduating from middle school, he was admitted to the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom to study textiles. In the first year of university, that is, in 76, because Zhang Kuohai suddenly suffered a stroke, Leslie Cheung had to return to Hong Kong, and his studies were interrupted.

After almost a year of doing nothing in Hong Kong, Leslie Cheung has no intention of returning to the UK to continue his studies, according to his original plan, Leslie Cheung planned to sign up for the Asian Singing Contest held by Li's TV station on April 15 this year.

April 15, 1977 was the day of the second Asian Singing Contest held by Leigh's TV station, which was held in a grand manner, with contestants from Brunei, Bangkok, Manila, Seoul, Sydney, Taipei, Tokyo, and Hong Kong participating in the competition, and the total prize money for the champion, runner-up, third runner-up and winner in the finals was as high as HK$60,000. Including the champion bonus of 15,000 yuan, the runner-up 12,000 yuan, and the third place 7,500 yuan.

Participating in the singing competition, Leslie Cheung did not go for the prize money, his godmother is Tan Ailian, the wife of the famous Hong Kong tycoon Zhang Yulin, Zhang Yulin's family is also a celebrity for three generations, and he is a famous industrialist in China. In the 70s, Zhang Yulin's family wealth exceeded 1 billion, and he was one of the most famous billionaires in Hong Kong. Zhang Yulin's wife Tan Ailian is a famous person who dotes on children, she not only dotes on her own three sons, but also dotes on her baby godson Leslie Cheung very much.

The reason why Leslie Cheung wants to participate in the singing competition is just to find something to do, and he has no intention of becoming a singer now, when he heard that Rolling Stone Records wanted to sign him, Leslie Cheung also had a long time, and the current Rolling Stone's fame is not smaller than that of Polygram, Leslie Cheung said that he was not tempted and it was fake, the reason why he did not agree on the spot was only because this situation came too suddenly, and he had never thought about this aspect before, so he wanted to think about it.

"Guorong, you are not young anymore, you have to think about what kind of road you will take in the future, being an artist is not as simple as you imagined, this industry has to suffer a lot, I still think you should go back to the UK first to complete the rest of your studies, as for what you want to do in the future, I think you should finish your studies and then think about others"

'I don't want to go back to the UK to continue my studies, I think I can sing okay, Rolling Stone is very famous, if it can really train me, maybe I can really become popular'

"How can being an artist be as simple as you think, I also know some big stars, but after all, people like them are a small number, and in this industry, more people are unknown."

'Dad, don't say it, I know these things, but I want to try'

Leslie Cheung doesn't buy Zhang Kuohai's account very much, he has been independent and sensible since he was a child and has his own ideas, Leslie Cheung doesn't know how to listen to Zhang Kuohai's words, and the relationship between the two fathers and sons is not very good since childhood, in terms of private life, Zhang Huohai is a famous playboy, in addition to the main room Pan Yuyao There are two concubines, and he has been dating celebrities and ladies from all walks of life in the most luxurious Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong for many years.

Leslie Cheung's mother, Pan Yuyao, is also a typical big family, and the Pan family has produced a lot of talents. However, Pan Yuyao's married life was not happy after marrying into the Zhang family, she was depressed for a long time, and she was also very indifferent to her children, so Leslie Cheung's relationship with her mother was also very estranged.

The relationship between his father and his mother is not compatible, Leslie Cheung rarely returns home all year round except for holidays, and several other children of the Zhang family have lived separately from their parents since they were young, and Leslie Cheung was raised by the sixth sister of the worker. Therefore, Leslie Cheung has no feelings for his father. And his mother is also very estranged from him and his brothers and sisters, it is difficult to communicate with each other, and the family is as polite as strangers every time they talk, Leslie Cheung now looks back on his childhood, there is nothing worth him to remember, and there is nothing worth him to remember, and the life of the family has left a big shadow in Leslie Cheung's heart since he was a child.

"Guorong, anyway, you are so old, you can make your own decisions, my words are here, in fact, no matter what your decision is, I will not object, I just hope you can consider my words carefully" Zhang Kuohai knows the truth that the child is involuntarily mother, coupled with the relationship between the two fathers and sons, the son must be even more reluctant to listen to himself, so Zhang Kuohai doesn't want to say anything.

'Dad, I'll think about it' Leslie Cheung hesitated for a moment and said incorrectly.

Zhang Kuohai has been a lot older since he had a stroke, and he doesn't feel much when he is often in contact, but seeing his helpless appearance today, Leslie Cheung is particularly touched, he found out that his father is really old, I don't know why he saw him like this, Leslie Cheung's heart is soft, maybe he wants to make the other party feel better, even if he knows that his words are not his true thoughts, Leslie Cheung still decided to say so.
