On April 1, 2003, Leslie Cheung asked agent Chen Shufen to meet in the restaurant. Chen Shufen rushed to the restaurant, but Leslie Cheung was not seen at the scene.
After a while, Leslie Cheung called: Shufen, please pick me up at the door of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. When Chen Shufen arrived at the hotel, she heard a loud noise of something falling to the ground. She couldn’t get through Leslie Cheung’s call again, and she felt a little stunned.
Leslie Cheung jumped off the building.
She tremblingly called Mr. Tang’s phone, notified the news, and then notified the security to protect Leslie Cheung’s body from being photographed by the media. Some people say that it is a miracle that Leslie Cheung did not circulate photos of his body in a gossiping city like Hong Kong.
Chen Shufen is not only Leslie Cheung’s last dignity protector, but also an agent who accompanies him along the way. Leslie Cheung said more than once: “Behind me, there is a woman who is very helpful to my career. She is Chen Shufen.”
01. “Newcomer” Leslie Cheung
In 1977, when Chen Shufen was watching Li’s Asian singing contest, she found a newcomer named Leslie Cheung. When performing “American pie”, Leslie Cheung wore red boots and sang and danced. Some people criticized his image for being too outrageous, but Chen Shufen was fascinated by him: “This young man has a special voice and deserves the first place. If I have a chance, I must know him.” In the following years, Leslie Cheung appeared I played a few records and played a few plays, but none of them became popular.
In 1982, Chen Shufen set up the record department of Huaxing Company and needed to find new talents. While eating at the Xiangmanlou in Tsim Sha Tsui, she ran into Leslie Cheung and asked him if he would join.
