Heavenly Queen's Male Friends & Colleagues (2012)

Faye Wong, whose ancestral hometown is in Harbin, was born in Beijing on August 8, 1969. In 1987, she gave up her admission to the Department of Biology at Xiamen University and moved to Hong Kong where she studied music with Dai Si-Chung. In 1989, she signed with Cinepoly Records and released her first solo album. Since then, she officially entered the music industry. As one of the best female singers in Chinese music, she has a high reputation in the Chinese world, and also a certain level of popularity overseas, especially in Japan. She has sung many popular songs and her music has a very personal style and an ethereal voice. She is known for her straightforward personality, wise eyes, languid expression, and can be sometimes random, sometimes frivolous, sometimes calm, sometimes inspiring.

It is said that behind every successful man, there is always a woman who silently contributes. And behind this goddess, there are also men who we are familiar and unfamiliar with. Of course, the Heavenly Queen's men are not only a part of her "love history", some can be said to have made Faye Wong today.

Faye Wong & Leslie Cheung

Film and television

These are two outstandingly unique people in the hypocritical entertainment industry. They were born for love, with the same adult childlike innocence, the same straightforwardness, the same sensitivity and passion, the same love and hatred, the same low-keyness and elegance, the same status above common mortals! To everyone, their biggest collaboration was the movie "Okinawa Rendezvous".

According to reports, the actor in "Okinawa Rendezvous" was supposed to be Xiang Tai's son. But Faye Wong said she only wanted to collaborate with Gor Gor (Legend Leslie). The friendship between the two also began with "Okinawa Rendezvous". At the time, the two were filming on location in Okinawa. Leslie Cheung greatly appreciated Faye Wong's personal character and praised her: "This woman is special!"

Faye Wong has starred in few movies. In "Chungking Express", her character liked Tony Leung a lot but didn't kiss him. But in "Okinawa Rendezvous" she finally gave her first on screen kiss opposite Leslie Cheung. Leslie joked at the time that the biggest attraction to make this movie was to kiss Faye. However, this scene was later deleted, so we missed it in the film.

At the Hong Kong Film Awards, Faye Wong and Leslie Cheung were guests. Leslie Cheung "touted" Faye Wong's acting skills. Faye was embarrassed and quickly changed the topic. Gor Gor reacted well and made fun of her. Faye showed affection in her eyes. It can be seen that the two have a good relationship.

Music

In music, the two also had a collaboration with the song "Forgetting You Is Like Forgetting Me". Leslie Cheung sang "Beloved" in Shanghai one year, the last line was la la la la, he asked the audience: "Do you think I am learning from Faye Wong?"

To shoot the music video for the "Okinawa Rendezvous" theme song "Without Love"; Faye Wong, who is in a different record company from Gor Gor, also knew how to cast the female lead for this song.

Life Stories

Leslie Cheung went to Faye Wong's house and liked to play with [Leah] Jing Tong. Later, after Gor Gor's tragedy, Jing Tong asked Faye, why did Uncle Cheung not come over for a long time?

Once the two snuck away to go shopping and agreed to buy something to eat together. But when the time came, Gor Gor went to the restaurant and found that Ah Fei had not yet arrived, so he took Tong Tong to wait for Ah Fei at the door. It was more than an hour wait. When Ah Fei finally showed up, not only did Gor Gor not complain, but he also asked her excitedly what she bought. Faye Wong, who is introverted, quickly melted in the face of her enthusiastic brother. Ah Fei's simplicity and true temperament amazed Gor Gor, so he always loved Ah Fei as his sister.

Mahjong Story

The joke about Faye Wong playing mahjong has been widely spread, but many people do not know that this joke was originally revealed by Leslie Cheung. In an interview, he talked about Faye Wong playing mahjong and imitated her expression and Beijing accent.

Faye Wong's big diamond ring flickered in the eyes of friends during the game. Because of this, Gor Gor said that when he plays mahjong in the future, he must wear one to match!

Program Transcript:

Leslie Cheung: I just told [Matilda] Tao Zi the story of Faye Wong playing mahjong. Would you like to hear it? Once she played mahjong at my house and wore a diamond ring with many carats. Then I said, "Okay, I will win your ring today!" She said, "It's not that easy, it's expensive!"

Once Carina Lau was sitting behind her, watching her play mahjong and she said, "Hey Faye, how can you play this card?." She (Faye Wong) turned back and said very seriously: "I tell you, if you say I can't sing well, I can accept it. But if you say that I am bad at mahjong then I totally cannot accept it!”

Although he has passed, may Gor Gor be happy in heaven and may Faye Wong be happy in the mortal world!

Faye Wong & Leon Lai

"The Legendary Ranger" was a TV drama that Faye acted in. Whether on set or in real life, Faye was very close to Leon Lai, the leading actor. Leon Lai was another gossip king. In fact, all these rumors started because they are both Dai Si-Chung's students and also both are from Beijing. It was very natural for the two to become good friends immediately after they met in the Dai family. What's more, Faye Wong was new in Hong Kong at that time and her connections were very sparse. There were only a few close friends. It was normal to meet someone who spoke Mandarin and had some personal contact. Moreover, both of them have a passion for Beijing. Faye Wong wanted to go back to Beijing to date her boyfriend Luan Shu. Leon Lai wanted to go to Beijing for some social activities. The two would go together and it was reasonable.

The Hong Kong media discovered by accident that the two appeared together at the Hong Kong airport, and they were on the same flight, and the destination was both Beijing. They asserted that Leon was a lecherous male friend, the gossip was constant, but their love affair was simply impossible.

Seeing these reports, Faye Wong just smiled lightly. She was an extremely assertive girl, and she knew in her heart what kind of man she wanted and what her emotional needs were. First, she doesn't like men who talk too much. Second, she doesn't like high-profile men. Third, she doesn't like uncommunicative men. Judging from these three points alone, Leon Lai is not among her choices. What's more, the man she likes is the kind that is extremely mature, highly opinionated, and very individualistic. He doesn't have to be tall and handsome, but he must be independent.

Later, Faye Wong also addressed her own scandal. She seemed to have completely changed her previous style and started talking to the media. Rumor had it, that Leon invested 30 million to shoot "Leaving Me Loving You" in order to chase her. The outcome was futile and she couldn't help but laugh.

Leon himself is the gossip king and almost all the actresses he has worked with have exploded in popularity. As early as when the two first collaborated on "The Legendary Ranger", the gossip had already been reported. Later, Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse fell in love, and the media said that Faye’s love object was Leon Lai and Nicholas Tse was suspected of winning her love. Later, when Faye and Nicholas Tse were at odds with each other, there was news that Leon intervened. Faye and Nicholas Tse have gone through four years of turbulence, and the road has finally come to an end. In "Leaving Me Loving You", there were some interesting performances between Faye and Leon, especially the image of Leon burying his head in Faye's arms. It was naturally intimate which cannot help but be analyzed by the media.

In 2004, Leon Lai served as the producer and creative director of the film "Leaving Me Loving You". It was reported that Faye Wong's offer for the film was originally HK$8 million, but because of her close relationship with Leon, she agreed to appear in the film for HK$5 million.

Faye Wong and Leon went to Taiwan to promote the new romantic film "Leaving Me Loving You", and their gossip became the focus of public concern. Regarding the rumor that Leon was looking for Faye to co-star in order to rekindle an "old love", Faye immediately denied that "there is no old love at all!" and Leon said: "If I wanted to date her, why bother shooting a film and make it so difficult?"

Faye Wong said that she and Leon Lai knew each other when they studied with Dai Si-chung more than ten years ago. Because they are both from Beijing, they felt very friendly every time they met, so this time Leon was promoted to be the boss to shoot "Leaving Me Loving You" and invited her to collaborate. After reading the script, she readily agreed.

In 1992, there was a magazine article when Leon was already a heavenly king, and Faye Wong, who was called Wong Jing Man, was just becoming famous. The reporter asked Leon: “You seem to have a good relationship with this girl?” Leon said, “Yeah, because we are both from Beijing, we have known each other for several years. Don’t look at her as cool. She is actually a very sincere, honest, and easy-going person.”

Faye Wong & Beyond

The science fiction TV series "The Legendary Ranger" is not Faye Wong's acting debut. Before Faye Wong went to the United States in 1991, she made her first film. This movie is called "Beyond's Diary", a typical early Hong Kong film, very cheesy but catering to the mindset of Hong Kong people at that time. The film's leading actors are Wong Ka Kui, Wong Ka Keung, Yip Sai Wing and Paul Wong. Faye Wong plays Yip Sai Wing's girlfriend in the film. In the film, the four friends of Beyond are good brothers who have a sense of justice and struggle for a common music dream. But in life, they are constantly frustrated, trapped, and persevering. As Yip Sai Wing's girlfriend, Faye Wong has a very small role in the film, just a very ordinary supporting role. But at the time, Wong Ka Kui, who was already a big brother, favored Faye Wong and said publicly on many occasions: "Wong Jing Man will definitely become popular in the future."

Yip Sai Wings’s manager said that the film was made a long time ago. She only remembered that Faye Wong wasn’t as fashionable as now, but Wong Ka Kui predicted that she would be popular. Beyond was very supportive of her and has written several songs for her.

Faye Wong and Beyond's collaborations:

Movie: "Beyond's Diary"

Songs:

"Singing A Never Ending Song" (sung by Wong Jing Man and Beyond), included in an early Beyond album.

"The Unsettled Heart" (sung by Wong Jing Man and Paul Wong), included in the album "Wong Jing Man" in 1989

"Can You Hold Me Tight" (composed by Wong Ka Kui), included in the album “Everything” in 1991.

"Reignite" (composed by Wong Ka Kui), included in the album "Coming Home" in 1992.

"Guardian Angel" (composed by Wong Ka Keung), included in "Help Yourself" EP in 1997.

Faye Wong & Tony Leung

Tony Leung and Faye Wong have collaborated three times on the big screen: Chungking Express, Chinese Odyssey 2002, and 2046. In Chungking Express, Tony was the policeman who talked to soap and charmed everyone. Faye Wong also acted well in it, languidly, which is her consistent mood. This film was the first time that Tony Leung played a leading role in a Wong Kar Wai film. "Chinese Odyssey 2002" is a Jeffrey Lau-style mo lei tau comedy film. Faye Wong and Tony Leung sang Huangmei opera which is very impressive. 2046: Did you understand this film? After seeing it, I felt dazed and confused. I only remember Faye Wong talking on the phone in Japanese. Tony Leung and Faye Wong acted as purely good friends.

It is said that Tony Leung is a fan of Faye Wong. There are several women in the entertainment circle who love mahjong. When Carina Lau, Faye Wong, and Matilda Tao were at the same table, Carina Lau called Tony, who was filming, and gave the phone to Faye to talk to him. Because Carina Lau knew that Tony liked Faye, he stammered on the phone which was awkward. Tony must really like to listen to Faye to have this reaction.

Tony Leung once commented that Faye Wong was "a very humble person who often confessed to being "unable to act" on set, but in fact she was very straightforward and was an excellent actress who was good at using body language to perform."

As we all know, Faye Wong and Tony's wife Carina Lau are best friends. Faye and her family attended Tony and Carina's wedding and Faye also sang. A reporter interviewed Carina Lau and felt that she and Tony had different personalities. They asked if there was friction between them. Carina Lau replied frankly: "There will be friction. Not only between two personalities, but there will be friction between people. Sometimes my teeth will bite my tongue. I have also thought about this problem. My good friend Faye Wong and Tony are quite similar to each other, but if they lived together, they may not produce a good result. I am very similar to Ya Peng, so these traits actually need to complement each other." This shows that Faye Wong and Tony Leung are more similar people than personal friends.

Faye Wong & Jacky Cheung

Faye Wong and Jacky Cheung have always been the only Chinese gods in many people's minds. It is rare to see two powerful people on the same stage. In 1997 on TVB, Faye Wong and Jacky Cheung paired up and the reverberations can still be felt to this day. Jacky Cheung once said: “Ah Fei is the pride of Chinese music, I always admire her!”

Faye Wong & Andy Lau

Andy Lau said: “If Faye Wong sings, I am willing to be part of the audience!” And on many occasions, Wah Jai expressed his hope to collaborate with Faye in movies. Many years ago, Faye Wong and Andy Lau did a photoshoot. In the photo, Faye "teased" Wah Jai.

Faye Wong & Aaron Kwok

Most people think that Faye Wong and Aaron Kwok had no interactions and their only collaboration was probably a series of Pepsi advertisements. In fact, there was a performance of the Heavenly King and Queen in 1993 on the TVB Singers Anniversary. He and Faye coolly performed Aaron's famous song "Never Ending Love for You".

Faye Wong & Zhang Yadong

One is the queen of music and the other is a golden producer. For some time, the names of Faye Wong and Zhang Yadong were often closely linked. Some people say that because Faye gave him a relaxed creative environment and no pressure, he was able to develop his musical talent, fame, and became popular all the way, so Faye Wong made Zhang Yadong. Some people also said that it was Zhang Yadong who was different from the mainstream. He had a vibrant and gloomy electronic sound at that time and developed a temperament that was different from other Hong Kong and Taiwan mainstream songs, which made Faye Wong reborn and gave her her own new style. Continuously creating new peaks, Zhang Yadong paved the way for Faye Wong, and finally let Faye Wong sit on the throne of the Asian music world. Regardless of which argument is supported, it has been an indisputable fact that the two have collaborated in the music world for more than 10 years and brought us many popular songs.

According to rumors, Faye Wong and Zhang Yadong had a brief love affair, but it is not known whether it is indeed fact or wishful thinking by outsiders. However, Zhang Yadong never hesitated to appreciate Faye Wong: “Faye Wong is a near-perfect person in my eyes, and I admire her!”

Faye Wong & Lin Xi

Without Lin Xi’s lyrics, Faye Wong’s sound of nature voice could not resonate. Lin Xi said, "Faye Wong is my unnamed wife", which shows how sharp he is to Faye’s insight. It was rumored in a gossip tabloid that Lin Xi saw Faye Wong catch Dou Wei in bed cheating, and wrote the song "New Tenant" with a pen. Admittedly, even if Lin Xi did not meet Faye Wong, she would not be without a name. But when meeting Faye Wong, Lin Xi can be said to have obtained a rare source of inspiration for life.

Faye Wong & Dai Si-chung

Dai Si-chung is a famous music teacher in Hong Kong, known as "the godfather of music" and "father of superstars". Since the 1970s, Dai Si-chung has cultivated Cheung Ming-man, Faye Wong, Andy Lau, Leon Lai, Aaron Kwok, Nicholas Tse, Daniel Chan, etc. At the same time, Tony Leung, Michelle Reis Ray Lui, Frankie Lam, Nina Li Chi, Gigi Lai, Anne Heung and other actors also studied under Dai Si-chung .

It is said that Faye Wong was first introduced to Dai Si-chung by her father's friend. At that time, Dai Si-chung was giving vocal lessons to several students. He carefully looked at Faye Wong and found that she had a distinctive temperament. At that time, he thought that with her temperament, her standing on the stage would definitely interest the fans, but he wondered if her talent was really that good. He asked her, “whose song do you like best?” in Cantonese and found Faye Wong standing there with question marks on her face. Then he asked again in very pure Mandarin. It was the first time in Hong Kong that Faye Wong had heard someone use Mandarin so accurately and freely. It was a bit surprising and unusual, and she said without hesitation: “Teresa Teng”.

Soon after, Dai Si-chung recommended Faye Wong to his friend Chan Siu Bo, general manager of Cinepoly Records. Dai Si-chung said, “I just accepted a student and her talent is very good. It may be unmatched in the entire performing arts circle in Hong Kong.” After only meeting once, Chan Siu Bo decided to sign a contract with Faye Wong.

Another rumor was revealed after Dai Si-chung passed away from illness... If it were not for Dai Si-chung who desperately called Faye Wong back to Hong Kong on New Year's Day in 1992, the "Heavenly Queen Faye" who later ruled the Chinese music industry would not exist.

At the end of 1991, Faye Wong had a conflict with "Ah Lai”, a general manager at Cinepoly and decided to study in the United States. But she missed the start date when she arrived in the United States and could not enter the school.

On New Year's Day in 1992, Faye Wong called Dai Si-chung and asked what she should do next. Dai Si-chung told Faye Wong very firmly: "You must come back immediately! If you stop [promoting] in Hong Kong for half a year, people will forget who you are, and all previous efforts will be lost." Dai Si-chung also analyzed the situation at the time for her, because Anita Mui announced that she would no longer accept awards, and there was a lack of dominating female singers, this was the perfect time for Faye Wong to grab the top spot...

Faye Wong flew back from New York to Hong Kong on the third day of the Chinese New Year. Next, Faye Wong's "Fragile Woman" was a smash hit and since then, she has skyrocketed to become an unparalleled queen.

In 2010, Dai Si-chung died of illness. Faye Wong went to Hong Kong for the funeral and brought Buddhist scriptures to Dai Si-chung's family. In addition to writing a eulogy, Faye Wong used an MP3 to record a personal vocal "Heart Sutra" and sent it to her teacher. An insider said: "Faye Wong instructed Wancy Tai to put the MP3 in teacher's bed and play it day and night, and at home. Open a chant for teacher and hope that he can rest in peace!"

Faye Wong & Wong Kar Wai

In Faye Wong's few big screen experiences, the collaboration with Wong Kar Wai is definitely a highlight. In addition to "Chungking Express" and "2046", a mobile phone advertisement filmed by Faye in 1997 was also directed by Wong Kar Wai. Although "Chinese Odyssey 2002" was directed by Jeffrey Lau, it was produced by Wong Kar Wai. Wong Kar Wai once evaluated Faye Wong as the sexiest actress he has ever worked with and said she is a natural actor.

Faye Wong & Chang Chen

When Chang Chen filmed Wong Kar Wai's new film "2046" in Hong Kong, he admired Faye Wong very much to the media. As a result, news of his admiration for Faye Wong came out. At the time, Chang Chen revealed that he hoped to start shooting "2046" as soon as possible because he wanted to collaborate with Faye Wong. He frankly admitted that he had a great affection for Faye Wong and said that "secret love for a person can actually be a happy thing and no one can stop it..." Afterwards, a reporter asked Faye about his secret crush on her. Heavenly Queen who is always straightforward, asked the reporter: "What should be my reaction?"

Faye Wong & Phil Chang

Na Ying, Phil Chang, and Faye Wong belonged to EMI at that time. Phil Chang said that he, Faye Wong, Na Ying together supported Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland markets. Faye sang the Cantonese version of Phil Chang's song "Well-Intentioned" called “Heaven and Earth". The two are also friends. Years later, Phil Chang once revealed on a show the interesting fact that Faye Wong and Na Ying played mahjong.

Faye Wong & Jeff Chang

Faye Wong once invited three friends to hold a concert: Na Ying, Jeff Chang and Carina Lau. At the time, there were some songs that Faye Wong sang to Tong Tong, such as Health Song, Too Soft-hearted, Love's First Taste, One Night in Beijing, Give Up Halfway, and so on.

Faye Wong was very good in this performance when she he sang Mavis Fans’s [Health Song] with Na Ying and Jeff Chang. Jeff Chang pretended to be a grandpa and sang "three turns left, three turns right, twisted neck, twisted butt, early sleep and early rise, let's play mahjong!" And Faye Wong sang "Grandpa, jiāyóu!"

WRIT3007 Final Project

Group Member: Cheung Chun Ming, Mingming (15214516)

Zheng Xiaoting, Tina (15215091)

Title: Happy Chair Friends - Lack of Public Seats in Hong Kong

Link: https://www.instagram.com/happychairfrds/

1) Technical Efforts

We have created an Instagram account for our final project. After discuss, we have chosen a theme to reflect that Hong Kong is lacking chairs for people to take rest. We discover some places that suitable to install chairs, including shopping malls, MTR stations, bus stops. These pictures were mainly took in Kowloon City and Kowloon Tong, which is near to HKBU.

Some of the location of the pictures is board but some is narrow. No matter how long the width of the places is, the common point of them is that they are lacking chairs in the area nearby. Even that there is, it’s not so user-friendly.

We took photos of these places by the build-in camera of iPhone. To present the photos in an interesting way, we created a cartoon character, Happy Chair, with the use of photoshop. We combined the two elements together by photoshop too.

We put the cartoon icon in different parts of the picture in different posts. We put it at the corners of the pictures, to make it seems to be a selfie of the chair. To expand our ideas, we edited the mouth and eyes of the icon to given out different expressions. It is hoped to arouse people to rethink the importance of open space.

2）Aesthetic influences

We didn't add any effect to the photos we took before we posted them. We only use Photoshop to add the cartoon character in it as we aimed to show the real side of the society. With this simple and direct way to show the environment and people lives, it helps people to focus on the issue we want them to rethink and discuss but not on beauty of the photos.

To make the Instagram post more interesting and 'beautiful', We create a cartoon character using the technology of illustration artwork. It brings artistic element and fun to this project under a serious topic. The project of finding places missing seats in fact need attention and involvement of the public. We created a special and humanized cartoon character in order to draw public attention and attract people to keep following the account.

We chose a folding chair as the prototype of our cartoon character because it is an item which can represent Hong Kong culture but it seldom come in handy. Besides, it can represent the feature of Hong Kong people, being submissive. They ‘fold’ themselves to adapt the environment when they are facing problems and adversity. Just like they are forced to accept that there are not enough public seats for them to take rest.

3) Conceptual ideas

Compare with other countries, it is easy to recognize that Hong Kong is a over-crowded city. There’s obviously not enough open space for the public to take rest. Our group have choose this topic to work on, and made an Instagram account to introduce these areas. We agree that Instagram is the best medium to present our project, so as to achieve remediation. First, from the reading of ‘The double logic of remediation.’ by Bolter and Grusin, the author wrote that “the world appears to us as an endless and unstructured collection of images, texts, and other data records”. Under this situation, Instagram carries a function that combining the images and texts into one post, so as to systemize the data. Another advantage is, the project is based on real life experiences. At the same time, Instagram has a function to let users to tag the location of their post. If we click in the location tag, it would show up a map pinning the location tag.

Furthermore, it is able for us to open the tag in google map, and google map can show us the reality view. It becomes “a new way to structure our experience of ourselves and of the world”. The above points enables our project to achieve immediacy. Meanwhile, the project contains our cartoon character, Happy Chair. And we edited the caption and the expression of the character differently in every post, in order to achieve hypermediacy. It is hoped that the project can make good effects to the public by an interesting way.

Hulin, the author and photographer who released a novel ‘Hey Harry Hey Matilda’ on Instagram said she thought photography and writing really inform each other, and it was so nice that something like Instagram could allow them to coexist. Our group also make good use of this platform to present our message through corporation of text and images.

We took photos of the places we found suitable to install public seats. However, this is not enough to bring out the messages of our works. It would even lead to another meaning if people guess it wrong. For example, one of the photo shows some elderly sitting on the street and talking to each other happily. It aims to carry some positive messages. With the caption describing the photo and the story behind the scene, people clearly note that the Instagram posts are investigating and questioning some social issue. People can fully feel the necessity of well-placed public seats and how is the condition nowadays of lacking places to sit when photos and caption co-exist.

Also, it makes the personification of the character cartoon Happy Chair successful. Happy Chair just like a real person who try to interact with followers by using the Instagram account. The images show what Happy Chair 'see' and the caption shows what he ‘think’ and ‘feel’. The Instagram posts become more interesting and attractive.
