Leslie Cheung quit the music scene in 1989, because he felt that he was tied down by the record company, just a pop idol singer, unable to do what he really wanted to do. So he chose to resign and go to Canada to study and teach himself. Later, someone went to Canada and invited him to make another film. Finally, out of friendship with Huang Baiming, he decided to star in Huang Baiming's New Year's film "Ninety-two Families Have Happy Events". Later, a friend advised him that he just quit the music world, not the film industry, and encouraged him to make movies for his fans and fans. During this period, he made films such as Farewell My Concubine, White-haired Witch and Golden Branches and Jade Leaves. Although Leslie Cheung himself said that he would no longer sing in public, in order to pursue the perfection of the film, he sometimes helped to sing the theme song of the film, such as the theme song of the white-haired witch "White-haired Beauty". At that time, in order to improve the box office, the director only played the theme song sung by Leslie Cheung at the end of the film, even in the DVD and VCD of the film, there was no trace of that song. For example, Leslie Cheung sang three songs to cater to the role of a musician in "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", but he hasn't come back yet. These three songs are highly sought after, and many fans take tape recorders to the cinema to secretly record them.
The yearning of fans, the persuasion and encouragement of friends around, the kind invitation of several record companies, and the excitement-loving Leslie Cheung feel that life in Canada is too comfortable, and the place where they live has become a local tourist attraction. These have become the reasons for his comeback. (These reasons come from some video interviews and written materials. This does not fully represent the reason for Leslie Cheung's comeback at that time. For your reference only. I think the biggest reason is the enthusiasm and expectation of fans. As we all know, Leslie Cheung likes fans. )
Leslie Cheung's comeback brought more beautiful new songs and made more good movies, and his enthusiastic concert was an unprecedented creation. After her comeback, Leslie Cheung completely broke away from the status of an idol singer and could do what she really wanted to do. Without the burden of "idol", she is more casual and dare to innovate.
PS: If you haven't seen the enthusiastic concert, I really recommend you to go and see it. Only after you have really seen this film can you know its beauty. Just from a few photos on the internet, a few news items are incomprehensible.
