Why did Wong Kar-wai and Leslie Cheung turn against each other?

Those things about Wong Kar-wai and Leslie Cheung. 2009 was the sixth year since Leslie Cheung passed away and the fifteenth year since "Ashes of Time" was released. That movie was a dismal box office that year. The film, many years later, is making a comeback with thunderous momentum. Xidu is no longer around, and it is said that Wong Kar-Wai, who has always shown off his sunglasses, couldn't help but burst into tears at the press conference. Wong Kar-wai and Leslie Cheung met in 1990 and turned against each other in 1997. After seven years of cooperation, they achieved each other, but they also parted ways. The gratitude and resentment among them cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Leslie Cheung and Wong Kar-wai seem to be completely opposite people. Leslie Cheung is desperate for desire, while Wong Kar-wai is desperate to refuse. But at their core, they are the same Lone Star, with a certain elusive and confusing temperament. In the role of Western Poison, it was Leslie Cheung who was borrowed by Wong Kar-Wai to use his identity in the film to express the loss and search in Wong's heart. The same theme also appears in "Days of Wild" and "Happy Together", so Leslie Cheung will be likened to a "footless bird" until his death, and Ho Po-wing is more like a trap to him. From then on, he could not refuse others to use He Baorong to speculate on his words and deeds. Wong Kar-Wai understands Leslie Cheung so well. Leslie Cheung has always wanted to live a drunken life and dream of death, but the drunken life is actually Xidu, the dreamer of death should be Xu Zai, and Ho Po-wing can truly be called a drunken life and a dream of death. Wong Kar-Wai captured the soul of Leslie Cheung and expressed it vividly. But these two people are too willful. "Happy Together" is undoubtedly Leslie Cheung's best film, not to mention that he has been doing his homework in a state of loneliness, depression, acclimatization, and infighting. In addition, the Yue 97 concert is about to take place. He was anxious to go back to the rehearsal to ensure that every link on the stage was flawless, but Wang was also a person who insisted on his own principles and had to wait for better inspiration before continuing. Seeing that the contract period was far over, but the end of the film was still not in sight, Zhang had no choice but to leave the crew cruelly. The two broke up unhappy and parted ways from then on. Wong Kar-wai and Leslie Cheung once again appeared on the big screen as directors and actors in "Ashes of Time" fifteen years later, and there will be no next time. For Wong Kar-Wai, Leslie Cheung's death may mean that he will never have the opportunity to express something. Some artists will give people a kind of vitality. With this kind of vitality, the director can make something unique. And when this person is gone, that part of life is lost forever. The last shot of the film freezes Leslie Cheung. I am afraid it is not only a memory for all the viewers who like Leslie Cheung, as Wong Kar-wai said, but also a commemoration for himself. When you can no longer have it, the only thing you can do is to make yourself not forget it. Now that I think about it, one of the most famous lines in "Ashes of Time" has become the perfect footnote for this re-release.
