何桂蓝 BBC中文记者2018年3月30日 15年前的4月1日,香港传出一个消息;起初,港人都以为那只是愚人节玩笑。 但随着电视新闻报导证实,人们才意识到这是真的:一代巨星张国荣自文华东方酒店24楼纵身跃下,当场死亡。 1980年代以来,张国荣一直是两岸三地家传户晓的歌手与演员,在亚洲其他国家也有大批歌迷影迷;他的死讯,在华语世界造成轰动,同时也引发争议。 张国荣留下了无数经典演出与电影作品。在生命中的最后几年,他的演绎越来越着意挑战保守社会的道德框架,开拓了性别多元的空间;然而这些跨越性别界限的艺术追求,于张国荣仍然在生的年代,在相对保守的香港社会,一度成为大众媒体口诛笔伐的对象。 不少香港传媒与评论者将其自杀归咎于他的性取向;但香港社会既有批判张性取向的声音,也有对他不离不弃的支持者。葬礼当日,逾万歌迷围在灵堂之外,冒雨送别偶像。 时至今日,华语演艺界仍未见如此俊朗却又如此妩媚,既受大众追捧亦能拓阔艺术疆界的巨星:直到张国荣死后多年,香港社会才慢慢追上了他当年超前的步伐。 程蝶衣与何宝荣 早在上世纪80年代,张国荣已经是香港流行乐坛中的天王巨星,影响力遍及亚洲多国。90年代,张退出乐坛专注电影事业,成就非凡:1994年,张国荣在陈凯歌导演的《霸王别姬》中,饰演恋慕师兄段小楼的干旦程蝶衣。电影获得戛纳(Cannes,另译康城、坎城)影展金棕榈奖,张国荣的演出备受赞誉。 事实上,早在1981年,张国荣就曾获邀出演电视版的同一角色,但因为要保护歌手形象而未有接受;十年后,陈凯歌开拍电影版《霸王别姬》,张国荣在主动争取之下,才获得这个角色。 为何事隔十年,张国荣才出演程蝶衣一角?香港文化研究学者洛枫(陈少红)在《禁色的蝴蝶:张国荣的艺术形象》中指出,除了因为已成为“殿堂级”的张国荣可以随心所欲之外,也有香港性别运动发展的背景。 上世纪80年代的香港,同性性行为仍属刑事罪行,社会上对同性恋者十分鄙夷,在1984年香港首宗爱滋病例确诊后更是如此,以“屎忽鬼”(针对同性性行为的骂语)等污名冠之,不少人仍坚信同性恋是“疾病”;直到1991年,同性性行为正式非刑事化,香港的同志社群才得以从地下慢慢浮上水面, “90年代是香港同志运动发展的重要阶段,社会上开始听得到同志的声音。张国荣的情况,可谓与这股思潮相辅相乘,”研究同志文化的香港大学社会系副教授江绍祺向BBC中文表示。 虽然如此,社会上的歧见仍未消除。 在主流娱乐电影中,张国荣不时出演性别模糊的形象,如《家有囍事》及《金枝玉叶》,就以较阴柔、甚至“娘娘腔”的角色,与扮演男人婆/假小子的女主角擦出火花;这些电影以性别倒置作为笑料,结局往往是两人回复“正常”的男女身份,才得以终成眷属。 “香港人对gay的处理太过喜剧化、太过丑化,我觉得并不需要如此……”1994年受访时,张国荣曾表达自己对针对同志偏见的不满。 跳过 YouTube 帖子, 1允许Google YouTube内容此文包含Google YouTube提供的内容。由于这些内容会使用曲奇或小甜饼等科技,我们在加载任何内容前会寻求您的认可。 您可能在给与许可前愿意阅读Google YouTube小甜饼政策和隐私政策。 希望阅读上述内容,请点击“接受并继续”。 Accept and continue告知:第三方内容可能包含广告结尾 YouTube 帖子, 1 到1997年,张国荣与梁朝伟合演王家伟导演的《春光乍泄》,以一对同志恋人避走他乡的爱情故事,隐喻香港人在回归前夕的身份迷惘;电影在全球范围引起很大回响,是历来最知名的亚洲同志电影之一。 近年曾凭多部同志影片作品,获得国际影展奖项及提名的香港青年导演洪荣杰向BBC中文说,《春光乍泄》中对同志关系的处理,对他影响甚深。 “《春》的力量在于,讲一个最普通、最符合异性恋想像的爱情故事,但将女性的角色换成男人去演,突然就威胁到主流爱情关系的观念。” 洪荣杰指出,九十年代在欧美,同志角色在电影中才渐渐摆脱过往的负面定型,因此大部分同志电影都着重呈现社会对同志的压迫、同志承受的歧见与挣扎;而《春》完全没有这样的元素,对同志的处理,在当时即使在世界范围也是非常罕见的。 “《春光乍泄》最厉害的,是呈现到原来同志关系是可以这么‘普通’的!放下同性恋或异性恋的框框,就会见到人与人之间真正的感情。” 挑战主流的天王巨星 在电影以外,张国荣在舞台上的演绎,也更加自我、更加大胆。 “过往的香港社会,会将‘中性’视为‘不男不女’,看法十分负面,”江绍祺说,“但张国荣却冲破了这个非黑即白的看法,告诉社会‘亦男亦女’可以是‘正’(好、吸引)。” 1997年复出歌坛的演唱会中,张国荣参考英国歌手大卫·鲍伊(David Bowie,大卫·保儿)的先例,脚踏一双珠片闪灿的红色高跟鞋演唱《红》。 张国荣曾说,“姣、型、靓、寸”(风骚、有型、美丽、高傲)是一个表演者的成功之道。 而比《红》的妖娆表演更惹人注目的,是张在演唱会上将一曲《月亮代表我的心》献给“两位我挚爱的人”——向母亲致意后,张再揭示另一人的身份: “我生命中很重要的一位好朋友……唐先生(唐鹤德)。” 跳过 YouTube 帖子, 2允许Google YouTube内容此文包含Google YouTube提供的内容。由于这些内容会使用曲奇或小甜饼等科技,我们在加载任何内容前会寻求您的认可。 您可能在给与许可前愿意阅读Google YouTube小甜饼政策和隐私政策。 希望阅读上述内容,请点击“接受并继续”。 Accept and continue告知:第三方内容可能包含广告结尾 YouTube 帖子, 2 这段委婉的告白,被外界视为张国荣的“出柜”宣言。 江绍祺形容,张国荣的行为可谓为同志赋权:“八、九十年代的(香港)社会环境,对同性恋者非常压迫,还在讲‘爱滋佬’、‘变态佬’等词,非常负面,同志如何告诉别人,自己属于这个群体?” “一个如此知名的明星,站出来承认自己的身份,对社会有非常正面的影响,也令更多同志有信心面对自己的性取向。” 一方面,张国荣的天王级地位,一定程度上扭转了香港社会对同志的负面印象,但他亦因此承受极大的舆论压力与质疑。 香港演艺界对同志题材的歧见,可见于1998年的香港电影金像奖:当年,三名喜剧演员以搞笑形式介绍五部“最佳电影”提名作品,讲到《春光乍泄》时,三人作出呕吐状。 镜头扫到台下的张国荣时,他只礼貌地微笑。 2000年,因在电影中的演出打动了对方,张国荣成为第一位邀得法国时装大师高堤耶(Jean Paul Gaultier)合作的亚洲歌手,为其量身设计《热·情》世界巡回演唱会中的服饰。驳上及腰长发,身穿透视装与及膝短裙,张国荣再一次向观众展示出超越性别规范的独特气质。 然而,在那个年代的香港,这样的尝试并未获得主流大众的认可。对于张在《热·情》演唱会中的演出,香港传媒以“贞子(日本电影中的长发女鬼)化身”、“扮女人”等污名来嘲弄,更有电视剧以“人妖”、“变态”来影射张国荣。
