June 5th.

John personally drove Wu Yuan to Los Angeles International Airport.

"Daniel, you have to rush back as soon as possible, "Juno" is scheduled for July 8th, and there is not much time left for us to do publicity."

On the way, John also kept instructing Wu Yuan, worried that he would never return.

"Don't worry, I have something to do with Hong Kong Island." Wu Yuan said helplessly.

John's eyes lit up: "Daniel, you're a director who suddenly wants to go to Hong Kong Island, won't you be looking for actors?" ”

"You already have plans for your next movie?"

"Hey, I think you should consider considering our Fox Searchlight, the company would love to invest in your film."

Wu Yuan glanced at John meaningfully, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "John, you are really a good employee of Fox Searchlight, and you never forget the interests of the company." ”

"Haha, after all, they pay me, aren't they?" John said disapprehantly.

"Oh?" Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "So you mean, whoever pays you a salary, you will work hard for whom?" ”

“Oh！ Daniel, what do you mean by that? John looked at Wu Yuan suspiciously.

"It's nothing, my flight has arrived, let's talk about it when I get back." Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, said goodbye to John, and walked into the airport.

Looking at his departing back, John fell into deep thought.

......

China Film was indeed able to contact Mr. Zhang Guorong.

Mr. Zhang Guorong is one of the first batch of actors in the Hong Kong circle to go north to the mainland to make movies, and he came to the mainland to shoot "Farewell My Concubine" in 1992.

Back then, "Farewell My Concubine" was co-produced by Beijing Film Studio and Hong Kong Island Film Company, and now Beijing Film Studio still has a contact channel with Mr. Zhang Guorong.

Han Dong heard that Wu Yuan wanted to meet Zhang Guorong, so he immediately handed the message to Hong Kong Island through connections.

When Cheung heard that a mainland director filming in Hollywood (Note 1) wanted to meet him, he had no choice but to make an appointment with Wu Yuan to meet him at a date and place.

Both of them are resolute personalities, so Wu Yuan embarked on a flight to Hong Kong Island.

On the plane, Wu Yuan lay in the first-class cabin with his eyes closed, and all that flashed in his mind were the movies that Zhang Guorong had made.

I have to admit that even in the glorious era of the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island, Zhang Guorong was one of the most shining stars.

is not from any professional background, debuted from the runner-up of the singing contest to enter the music scene, and it only took five years to become the most popular singer on Hong Kong Island.

Later, he and Alan Tam opened the era of Tam Island music's Tan Zhang hegemony, and the two dominated the Hong Kong Island music scene that year!

At the same time, he turned to the film industry and filmed films such as "The True Color of Heroes", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The True Story of A Fei", "Across the Seas", etc., which are extremely popular throughout Asia.

"Farewell My Concubine" and "Springtime", two films that won the favor of the Cannes Film Festival, prove Zhang Guorong's acting skills!

From Japan and South Korea to Southeast Asia, almost everyone knows Zhang Guorong and has conquered countless Asian fans!

To this day, he is still recognized as a superstar in Asia!

Until, two years later, when he took the leap, everything came to an abrupt end.

I have to say that this is a big regret in the Chinese film industry.

Although, after his death, Zhang Guorong will always live in the hearts of fans, and even more well-known, and has been praised on the altar, just like those other artists who have died, who are more famous after death than when they were alive.

But for the Chinese film industry, a living Zhang Guorong is definitely more important than being hung on the wall to commemorate it!

He is only in his 40s, and he is at the peak of an actor in all aspects, if he hadn't jumped in, he would have been able to create more classic roles for the Chinese film industry and give more movie souls!

Wu Yuan actually thought about reversing this regret and saving Mr. Zhang Guorong since a few years ago.

But before he couldn't do anything.

Now, he has the qualifications to contact Zhang Guorong, but he is a little hesitant.

It's really hard to save.

According to what he saw in his dream, Zhang Guorong suffered from endogenous depression.

The so-called endogenous is actually caused by what most people call physiological factors, that is, endocrine problems.

He was not depressed due to external influences, pressure from public opinion, or psychological factors, but depression caused by physiological pathologies.

At first, it was because of the recurrence of stomach problems, and there were some torturous pains in the body, such as acid reflux, stomach pain, convulsions in the limbs, etc., and then dragged it all the time, which affected the brain, led to endocrine disorders, and induced depression.

And even before he died, he was actually full of desire to survive, and he subjectively never wanted to commit suicide.

Zhang Guorong was well aware of the seriousness of his condition and actively sought medical treatment and actively cooperated with the treatment.

When he finally committed suicide out of control, the words "This year has been very hard and I can't bear it anymore" in his suicide note and "I haven't done anything bad in my life, why is this?" at the end. It also expressed his extreme helplessness and willingness to be nostalgic for this life.

It was the torture of illness and physical pain that caused him to finally lose control.

Later, people also analyzed it.

Endocrine problems in the body, as well as recurrent stomach problems, are mostly due to overwork.

According to the disclosed information, Leslie Cheung should have had physical problems in the second half of 2001, and then was diagnosed with depression in March 02.

Precisely, this time is the busiest time for Zhang Guorong.

While holding concerts one after another, he is also preparing for the movie he directed, writing songs to prepare for a new album, taking on new dramas to study roles, and dealing with the ubiquitous paparazzi on Hong Kong Island.

To cope with so many things, can the body not be overworked, can it not cause stomach problems?

The only way to change Zhang Guorong's life is to stop him from being so tired during this time, and when stomach problems first appear, he will be actively treated immediately, so as not to delay the brain lesions caused by endocrine disorders, which may prevent depression from appearing.

Once endogenous depression really suffers, there is really no way to save it, and you can only carefully stop the suicidal behavior at the onset again and again.

Fortunately, Wu Yuan still has a chance, Zhang Guorong's depression was delayed until March and April of 02, and there is still time to change.

Regardless of whether he can do it in the end or not, Wu Yuan wants to give it a try!

As a director, he can't just watch an excellent actor go to a dead end.

......

Another overnight long-distance flight, Wu Yuan arrived at Hong Kong Island International Airport in the early morning of Hong Kong Island time.

Wu Yuan, who didn't bring any luggage and only a travel bag, stepped on his backpack and took a taxi, found a hotel casually and went to make up for his sleep.

The next day, before eight o'clock in the morning, Wu Yuan left the hotel neatly dressed and went to a very famous tea restaurant on Hong Kong Island.

He and Zhang Guorong made an appointment to meet here.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, Mr. Leslie's private room."

Although the front desk waiter was a little uncomfortable with Wu Yuan's Mandarin, he still showed his signature smile for the first time and guided him to the private box behind the tea restaurant, which was not open to the public.

Soon, Wu Yuan met the Asian legendary superstar in a very elegantly decorated box.

"Hello Mr. Zhang Guorong, I am director Wu Yuan, and I am very happy to meet you."

Wu Yuan took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Guorong.

Now, whether in terms of fame, achievements, or status, he is inferior to the Asian superstar in front of him.

He didn't know the other party's future himself, so he represented the idea of superiority.

"Hello Director Wu."

Zhang Guorong also had a bright smile on his face, and he didn't look down on or put on a face just because Wu Yuan was relatively low in fame compared to him.

"I've heard of you, you're amazing, your first movie sold to the global market."

Zhang Guorong spoke Chinese very well, and even had a little Beijing accent, and he greeted Wu Yuan with a smile on his face.

"I've seen your "The Night the Comet Comed" and it's really well made, and I heard that the version of this film adapted in the United States has already earned more than $30 million at the box office?"

"It's really amazing!"

"Come, let's sit down and talk."
