The story of Danny Chan's beloved commemorative collection

Life's Purple Love-Danny Chan

I hate it when people say that Danny was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He earned every penny, and he was proud and bitter. He was the most sensitive to others when he was a playboy. He is eager to play this role.

An interesting conversation with Leslie Cheung.

When Leslie Cheung was a hit, Danny was stuck in his career. He is already good in others' eyes, but he thinks it is not good enough. Once, Chen and Zhang got together with friends and sang a song together. Danny always forgets the lyrics and says childishly, "I'm not as smart as you." La! Leslie Cheung still pulled him to sing, and Danny said happily: When we were in Tsim Sha Tsui; When …, Leslie Cheung's words were straightforward: The ghost is with you! Danny is sad again, or Leslie Cheung coaxes him back.

Mother's painstaking efforts

When Danny is depressed, he often calls the names of Anita Mui, Lin Yanni and Chen Jiaying. But his personality is like his father's, with a cold surface and a warm heart. Mother Chen knows best who her son's good friend is. Whenever a good friend hangs up the phone to look for him, it happens that Danny is depressed and refuses to answer the phone. Mother Chen always tries to pull her son to answer the phone, hoping to untie his heart.

Relations with Lin Yanni

Danny needs others to love him very much, and Lin Yanni knows his temperament very well. They said loudly on the phone: I love you, which made Lin Yanni's boyfriend jealous, but he didn't understand that they cared about each other, which was beyond the scope of secular friendship.

Anticipated love

In real life, Danny is a lonely person. He once lamented: I have never had a long-term partner in my 33 years of life. (The above text will be reproduced in Hong Kong next week)

Trilogy of life

When Danny was in BB, no matter how expensive the milk powder was, he didn't like to drink it, only the condensed milk of Shouxing. When he was a child, the girl in the cake shop would leave him an egg tart every day; When he grows up, he often says to his mother: If I have a wife in the future, I will treat him well, buy her the most beautiful clothes and jewelry, and I will satisfy the people I love most.

Brother and sister's words

Danny Chan's eldest brother, Chen Bailing, called his younger brother who died young a "legend". "It didn't take long for my debut to become red immediately, and my luck was very good. At the same time, it won a lot of popularity, which is very rare. He paused: "I dare say that many people are poor all their lives and are not half as good as him." Danny's life is brilliant. He really didn't waste it! " 」

Danny Chan's sister Xiaoyi said, "In my eyes, he is a very excellent, sensitive and talented child. His talents are manifold, whether composing music, singing, painting (he is best at sketching) or even playing mahjong. " In Xiaoyi's mind, "Looking around all the musicians in Hong Kong, Danny is the first composer. 」

Chen Bailing said: Danny has always been interested in swimming; In addition, when it comes to playing mahjong, it turns out that he is also a master-"play with him and lose." "Chen Bailing recalled with a smile. His sister xiaoyi said with a smile, "Danny won all his brother's personal money when he was a child, but when he grew up, he and his friends moved to bury his hands and the bag was safe." "Eldest brother revealed that at that time, the family was very strict and children were not allowed to play mahjong. However, based on their brothers' rebellious psychology, the Chen family often holds secret mahjong games. But Chen Bailing attributed Danny's success as a bamboo master to his head. " Danny has a flexible mind and is particularly clever, so he learns things quickly every time. "For example, he won the third place in the Open soon after learning the electronic organ; For example, he dances without a teacher, and even if he doesn't practice much, he dances well-he may not be very studious, but his talent is undeniable. It turns out that several brothers and sisters of the Chen family have a special hobby, that is, they like to travel to other places separately on holidays and then meet in the same place. " We tried to meet in America and said to each other, "Well, why don't you come and play again?"

Danny, growing up, has a beautiful appearance, plus a clever and virtuous character. Is there a reason why he is not loved? What impressed Xiao Yi the most was playing a lovely little angel in a kindergarten performance. "Danny's cheeks are painted red and he has a pair of wings behind him. He is very lively and lovely. " "Probably because he was spoiled since he was a child, he often resented that he could not reach his goal." He looks like the NG camera at the end of a special "emotional portrait" shouting, "Hey, the more you say it, the worse it gets ...". "Every time this happens, Xiaoyi retaliates with a trick of' silence', ignoring him and letting him take care of himself.

As for Danny Chan's personality since childhood, Chen Bailing has this comment: "Danny is meticulous, but he is more inclined to think than his peers when he was a child". His personality is a little withdrawn, but he is much more peaceful when he grows up. Even so, we can see that Danny was always sad and unhappy for a long time in his early years. What prompted it? Listen to Chen Bailing's analysis: "Top 100 is a very emotional and perfect person, and a little flaw is enough to make him uncomfortable." In fact, over the years, he has been pursuing what he wants, but in the end, with fame and altruism, he gradually didn't know the direction he was pursuing. Unlike when he first debuted, he really didn't need to pursue anything in his field. Instead, I worry that I will fall down one day. This kind of worry, in the abstract, is a knot in his heart and often disturbs his mood. Finally, Chen Bailing summed it up in one sentence: "I have been proud to have a younger brother like Danny all my life!" 」

Modern love history

Four or five years ago, Danny appeared in a restaurant in Lan Kwai Fong every night. It turns out that drunkards don't want to eat, just because they have a crush on beautiful Chinese-English girls for public relations. Danny's best friend saw through his boy's mind and tried to thread the needle for him, but Danny didn't take the initiative, only dared to "take a closer look" and didn't have time to launch an offensive. Later, Jing PR and the manager of this restaurant resigned, dated and left Hong Kong. From then on, Danny disappeared, very sad, and his friends thought he was lovelorn.

Danny's last girlfriend was a European beauty Bridget, who once praised her to her friends: "She has a good figure. However, some of Danny's old friends think she is too fat: "The breasts are big enough, but she has a belly." "Aesthetic experts' eyes have not been recognized, so I am a little unhappy. However, as friends all know, Bridget only belongs to Danny's female companion who "passes the time on the street", and she is definitely not a lover who "basks in the sun", and she is not as valued as that female publicist. The relationship lasted for a short time, and then it ended.

As for Elaine Eca Da Silva, who was once rumored to be Danny's girlfriend, according to friends' observation, they are just ordinary friends, and Elaine Eca Da Silva even called Danny the main person, which seems to draw a clear line.

Three best friends

Cherie Chung-For Danny, Zhong Ji has an apology: "How little did I know when he was alive?" Zhong Ji doesn't like exposure. Once, Danny invited her to star in his special edition, but she declined. Now she is a little annoyed: "Why did I refuse?" In his other special program, Sally … was also present. Everyone kept it from Danny except that a mysterious guest would appear. He was very happy when he saw me. She met him a long time ago. At that time, Zhong Ji was a frequent visitor to discos. She often meets Danny there, sometimes on the dance floor, and sometimes sees him standing alone drinking. She remembers: "Danny likes romance and champagne, and he likes the artistic conception of being slightly drunk. She often chats with him, and he gives him the impression: "He is very emotional, but kind-hearted, understanding, attaches great importance to other people's feelings, and never says anything that hurts others." 」

Chow Yun Fat-He thinks Danny's death is a loss to the music industry. The longest time he spent with Danny was when he was filming Autumn Fairy Tales. "When he was in new york, he was very happy and put aside all the shackles; However, when the plane arrived in Hong Kong, it seemed that it was under invisible pressure and it was not so happy. " In new york, their activities are just eating food and shopping. Danny likes to go to art galleries, museums and discotheques alone in his spare time. Fazi said, "He doesn't like to reveal his inner world to others. It's really not easy to get into his heart (Fazi can only stand outside and watch). He is an easily injured person, and few people can explain him. What he needs is a "pat" who can communicate.

Zhong Zhentao is Danny's hometown, and our friendship started from the last generation. However, A B really knows Danny. It was Wen Na's first concert on the Leigh stage. "He is a guest invited by the organizer. He plays the electronic organ very well, and his hands and feet move like flying. Since then, Danny has often appeared in nightclubs where Wen Na sings. A B recalls, "He likes to surprise people. Sometimes I suddenly see a young man dancing hard on the dance floor. It's him at first sight. Sometimes when I go to the parking lot to pick up the car, the windshield will clip the note he left behind; Sometimes when I get off the bus, he will jump out and scare me. "A B says Danny is a big boy who likes to play, but he is very emotional." He is a protected animal in the circle. He is disgusted and never hurts anyone. He likes all beautiful things, beautiful people, beautiful shirts and beautiful makeup ... "(from City Weekly 1993)

Relations with Chen Jiaying

She met him and began to direct his first concert in 1982. 1985, Danny passed away. He was in a bad mood and didn't want to see anyone. He often talks to Katie on the phone for hours in the middle of the night, telling her his troubles. Later, Chen Jiaying stood up and refuted the rumor for him. "He thinks I'm helpful, and his heart is getting steady. 1986, she officially became his agent. Chen Jiaying said, "He and I are not ordinary managers and artists. We are like close relatives, sisters and brothers, even mother and son. He described us as stray dogs and cats. At work, they often quarrel, but as soon as they turn around, it's over. "Danny likes meetings very much. He always carries a briefcase and pretends to be the administrator. Recalling the past, Katie smiled gently and piteously: "He is very cute, very cute and extremely sensitive. She often receives cards written by him, and the previous paragraph always says: to my best friend; Draw an interesting doll in the next paragraph, which reads: A Zi Shang. She keeps these cards as a personal treasure.

The people you travel with should also be beautiful.

Everyone knows that he loves beauty. When Chen Jiaying finishes a busy day's work, he sometimes goes to dinner with Danny without going home to freshen up. "Several times, he helped me home." How are you? Go back to change clothes and make up first. " He not only pays attention to his appearance, but also pays attention to the appearance of his peers. He is not a person who actively digs for silver, even a little lazy, so she has to do everything possible to coax him: "Be good, don't eat, I still have to live on your commission. On one occasion, TV stations visited them separately. The question was: Does Chen Jiaying smoke heavily? Danny replied, "Great. Katie replied, "It's not enough to buy the right shoes. The two looked at the edited footage and laughed at each other: "Our mother and son have never tried to run counter to each other. Danny has always given the impression that he is melancholy and unsmiling. Katie says he can be really crazy when he plays. "Once on a cruise ship, he was in a good mood and told many jokes. It's really funny. Chen Jiaying said, "He thinks he is funny, but in fact those jokes are not funny. Just because he is happy, I am happy. Shooting "Fairy Tales in Autumn" in new york started the morning shift every day. Danny is not used to getting up early, so Katie tries her best to coax him out of bed. One day, he said he wanted to eat fried beef with river. In order to make him happy, Chen Jiaying had to look everywhere. "I'm not used to the traffic conditions in the United States, and I was almost killed by a car. When she returned to the hotel with a hot fried beef river, Danny was moved and got up at once.

Do good deeds without publicity.

One Christmas, Danny said to Katie in advance, "Find me an orphan's home in Hong Kong. As a result, Katie found an orphanage in a very remote place in the New Territories. The mother and son drove to visit, and there was still a long way to go after getting off. Danny donated a sum of money to the orphanage, but vowed not to let anyone know. " He is a kind man. "She said. On New Year's Eve two years before his accident, mother and son went to the dance. When the countdown started, he was still greeting his friends at another table. Before the countdown came to an end, he finally pushed himself back to Katie, took her arm and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time to count down with you." Katie told me: "He attaches great importance to these things and is afraid that he can't welcome the New Year together. This is his childish side. He likes to share his inner world with her, including his feelings, but never mentions who he loves most. What Katie can feel is: "Among his friends, Anita Mui, He Chaoqiong and Lin Yanni are his favorite people. As for He Chaoqiong being rumored to have an affair with Danny, Chen Jiaying just said, "Pingsi is a girl, of course he likes her. 」

Extract a short passage

What kind of life do you want?

That night, a cool breeze blew gently. Late at night, alone, watching the "Danny Chan Music Special" on TV, the first guest to appear was Zhong Baoluo. Looking at the scene of the two of them talking and laughing, I feel a lot in my heart!

I can say that I am a contemporary of them. For a while, I also went to nightclubs, which was thirteen or fourteen years ago. I met him in the "Cat Street" of Hilton Hotel or the "Disco Disco" in Lan Kwai Fong. However, every time I see Danny Chan, he is a lonely man who seems to be full of worries and unhappiness. What impressed me most was meeting him in Cat Street. I still remember him wearing a short jacket with yellow and white stripes. That night, he also appeared alone, but kept calling the counter all night, as if someone could not find him. Finally, he left unhappily.

At that time, I didn't like Danny Chan. At that time, young people's mentality and experience were relatively shallow, and they only looked at things by appearances and subjective feelings, but did not know how to think of others. I just think Danny Chan is very happy, with money at home and a successful career. He was loved by thousands of people and became famous for it. How can he not teach boys his age to envy?

So, I was willing to support Leslie Cheung, which was overwhelmed by Danny Chan at that time.

Until a few years later, Leslie Cheung became a big hit, and I no longer had to look at them with the mentality of "going to the strong and helping the weak". Plus, when people grow up, their thoughts are more mature, and they can analyze things objectively, they realize that Danny Chan's songs are actually good, and some of his good songs have already penetrated into my heart. In our time, who won't just hum songs like Tears in My Heart, Ripples and Caring for Parents! So, 199 1 year, I became a guest of his concert. It was one of the two favorite concerts I have ever seen. I still remember, under the flickering light bulb, Danny Chan and I sang "Caring for Your Family" and "Please Take Care Tonight" softly.

Of course, the most important thing is that I can realize that Danny Chan is behind "happiness and good luck" in the eyes of others, and it is still the cause of unhappiness.

Does life have to be like this? What kind of life do you want? Are you unable to catch up or get the best? If you are unhappy, you often don't know how to cherish what you already have. In pursuit of what you didn't get, you lost what you already had. How to care about gains and losses?

After the special broadcast, turn off the TV and lie in bed, unable to sleep for a long time. The question of life and death has been haunting me.

Danny Chan is in the prime of life, but he has finished his life journey. What did he get from his short life? What do we want from the generation that is still struggling for life?

Danny, may you rest in peace.

memory

Since 1984, Xu Riqin, a musician who cooperated frequently with Danny Chan, not only made records for Danny Chan, but also attended almost all his concerts. Many people? Danny Chan is emotional and pessimistic, while Xu Riqin said, "It is inevitable that people are depressed sometimes, but basically Danny is still a cheerful person, but he just keeps a low profile. I don't think there is any low tide in his career, and he is indifferent to the fame and fortune of this circle. At the beginning of the year, he told me that he would try his best to fire his business after the farewell concert at the end of the year. He was quite happy and relaxed, and never seemed reluctant or unwilling. Danny at work is a person who hates being sharp and demanding. It is painful to cooperate with him, and he has no chance to be lazy. If he can't sing well when recording, he will stop and record another day, and he will not' grind to death' or receive goods casually. " In private, they sometimes go to "wet" together, but Danny Chan seldom talks about his feelings, and drinking is an indisputable thing. "Two people often drink a glass of red wine after dinner, but mostly I drink less than half, and he drinks more than half. I feel dizzy, but he's fine. Anita, a middle school classmate of Danny Chan, described Danny as an unhappy person when he was studying. His self-confidence is as strong as his inferiority complex, and he cares about other people's opinions. Whenever he sends out his report card, he will ask other students how their grades are. Once he knows that his grades are not as good as others, he will ask, "Why? He constantly asks himself to surpass others, but when things are not like this, he will appear very concerned and unhappy. 」

"He doesn't have many friends and doesn't like to talk about housework. When he was studying, he had shown great interest in music. Sometimes he will write some songs and then show them to everyone. When he is unhappy, he will go drinking with one or two classmates to relieve boredom. 」

(Excerpted from a weekly newspaper)

I remember Danny entered the music world by winning a prize in a pop song writing competition. A song "Tears for You" made him famous, and later "With You" and "Sunflower" established his status as an idol singer in the 1980s. The first time I really got in touch with Danny was working with him on Breakthrough Choice. As the response was satisfactory, I began to supervise Danny. The first project was "Take care of yourself tonight", and our public-private relationship began from then on! And Danny's music career at that time also went to a height.

Early Danny, I think he is a very active, cheerful, enterprising and ambitious young man. On the one hand, Danny's unique temperament and taste, which was at the forefront of the times, was loved by young people in those days, bringing a craze and becoming a limelight figure in the 1980s. The melody of Danny's songs is not only surprisingly beautiful, but also contains deep feelings that cannot be dispelled. After listening to it, no one is not moved! Danny? Constantly pursuing perfection, until one day, he felt that what he had been looking forward to and pursuing was out of reach, and his thought went to a higher level. So Danny's personality changed obviously in his later period and began to isolate himself. "The Destiny of Hope" may be Danny's heartfelt words. I also tried to encourage Danny in many ways, and explained and supported him through many of Danny's friends, hoping to let Danny know that many people care about him.

Maybe it's really jealousy. Danny's departure, in public, is a great loss to the music world, and from the standpoint of a friend, it also makes me very sad. How many nights, recalling the days when we walked together, I can't help but feel dejected! I think no matter how many years have passed, Danny will never be forgotten in our hearts.

Anyway, it is an ironclad fact that Danny left us. I call for the "Danny Chan Purple Memory" project, hoping to do more things for Danny, hoping to make Danny's classic works ring again and sublimate again.

Something, something.

Danny felt that he had been unfairly treated and hurt by some rumors before his death, and he always had a wish. I hope everyone understands him. One day, with red eyes, he told his mother in detail, "If one day he encounters misfortune, you can publish a biography for him, record everything about him, dissect his inner world and rehabilitate all his rumors." 」

Danny's favorite foods are kiwi fruit, boiled chicken and Sin Chew fried rice. I like to write letters in cartoon envelopes with Mickey and Minnie printed on them. Besides Winnie Houston and Lang Lulegen, he also likes Michael Jackson and Stephen Chow.

Danny's mother opened a "Sunflower Salon" in Happy Valley, Hong Kong. There is a big sign outside the store that says "Sunflower Hair Salon", next to which is the sign of "Sunflower Hair Salon". In the corner of the store, there is a huge black and white photo of Danny Bart, and the towel to wipe the guest's hair is purple.

Danny and his father Chen Pengfei have always been close. He said that the person he respects most is his father, so he took it as a highlight to accompany his father to Lu Yu, Central for tea and lunch. The relationship between Danny and Weng Jingjing was described by Weng as "he is a gentleman, and the closest thing to him for many years is just holding hands and kissing his face, and his communication is pure and flawless." The feeling of being with Danny is faint, faint and resentful, like fog and flowers. We never quarrel, but it feels like rain or shine, and it often rains in Mao Mao, so we can't jump out of this realm for a long time. It is said that Danny's Ripple and Please Take Care Tonight were written for Weng Jingjing.

During Danny's coma, many of his friends dreamed that he was so bored and happy to play around, even some teachers in the temple dreamed of him.

Danny once fell down in the street because of carelessness. At home, he had a childish attack and pulled out a decorative dog's front tooth to vent.

Some people think that singer Chen Xiaodong is like a big boy in the sunshine in Danny Chan. She is kind and handsome, with a little Cang Sang temperament and femininity. Girls are like ants, and men don't resist. But if we insist on comparison, Danny Chan has a natural temperament and spontaneous talent, while Chen Xiaodong is a well-shaped idol, and his soul and body are hidden in the folder of the record company.
