A bright star in the Chinese film industry, with a brilliant career, she has assets of more than 100 million yuan at a young age.
However, this talented actress has no one to inherit her inheritance, and Zhang Yu's single life has attracted the attention of the majority of netizens.
Now 66 years old, she is still alone, unmarried and without children, living a simple but fulfilling life.
Many netizens lamented that these hundreds of millions of assets, where will they go in the future?
All the effort will pay off
Zhang Yu was born in Shanghai in 1957 and grew up in a loving family environment.
At the age of 16, she was already slim, pure and beautiful, and she also entered the entertainment industry because of her outstanding appearance.
After graduating from high school, Zhang Yu was selected to work at the Shanghai Film Studio, and she was full of curiosity about acting at that time.
At first, I thought it was fun, but because of the requirements of the studio, Zhang Yu could only play a supporting role, but I didn't expect this to be six or seven years.
After a long time, she felt bored and bored, and often had the idea of boycotting.
Later, an old actor in the factory told Zhang Yu that everyone came over like this, and each stage has its own harvest, which is good for the future.
Since then, Zhang Yu has listened to this, no longer has the idea of boycotting, and even takes the supporting roles very seriously.
Her performances in "Spring Miao" and "Youth" in Shanghai Studio were very well received, and even won the favor of director Xie Jin.
Only people with similar souls can attract each other
In 1979, Shanghai Film Studio was preparing to shoot the lyrical film "Lushan Love", and the male protagonist of the movie was decided early, it was the studio's 21-year-old young actor Guo Kaimin, but the heroine had no suitable candidate.
The director wanted to find a girl next door who was well-behaved and cute, good-looking, likable, and not cheesy, which made men fascinated at first glance.
Such a girl is rare, and when the director was at a loss, the director of Shanghai Studio recommended Zhang Yu to him.
Zhang Yu, who came to the interview, did not have stage fright at all, she also knew that this opportunity was rare, compared to the supporting roles that honed her acting skills, everyone must want to see the excellent protagonist.
In this way, Zhang Yu presented his housekeeping skills to the director one by one, looking at the girl in front of him who showed herself, the director also understood that this girl was the innocent and lively heroine he was looking for.
In this way, Zhang Yu successfully won the heroine of the movie "Lushan Love".
Everything is developing according to the trend, but there are new troubles, 22-year-old Zhang Yu has been acting in the factory since he graduated from junior high school, and he has never been in contact with the outside world at all, let alone falling in love, and he has never even held hands with a boy.
Although they both work in Shanghai studios, Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu are not familiar with each other, and it can be said that they have not been in contact with each other before.
This can make the director worried, because "Lushan Love" is a lyrical film, and it was not easy to set the male and female protagonists, time is life, and it can't be delayed any longer.
The filming of the movie is about to start, in order to familiarize the male and female protagonists, the director deliberately created opportunities for the two, and only Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu, two young people, sat together and chatted on the huge set.
The two are also getting better, although the two are separated by a distance outside the play, but they are good friends of the opposite sex.
In the play, the good-looking Zhang Yu looks particularly dazzling under the fashionable outfits specially brought back from Hong Kong, which makes the male protagonist Guo Kaimin unable to take his eyes off it.
The "goddess of the masses" is looking for a match
In 1980, "Lushan Love" was officially broadcast in major theaters, and for a time, it caused a sensation across the country.
Among them, the heroine Zhang Yu relied on the action of kissing the cheek, creating a precedent for kissing in film history, setting a box office record of 100 million yuan.
Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu became a well-known on-screen couple in the 80s.
Zhang Yu even won the Hundred Flowers Award and became the "public goddess" of many men, exaggerating the courtship letters from all over the country, which could not be collected every day, and the accumulated letters were packed in sacks.
In the same year, she starred in film and television works such as "Bashan Night Rain" and "Bosom Friend" and won the Golden Rooster Award, and won four major awards the following year.
After Guo Kaimin's introduction, Zhang Yu also began to harvest his true love.
This person is Zhang Jianya, Zhang Jianya was just a small actor with a "director dream" at that time.
Zhang Yu is 6 years younger than Zhang Jianya, and as soon as he comes and goes, Zhang Jianya has a love for the sister in front of him.
After Zhang Jianya's enthusiastic pursuit, the two came together, and their married life was also very sweet.
In 1985, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya had just been married for one year, and although the two were in love, they still put each other's careers first.
The recession of domestic film and television development, Zhang Yu came up with the idea of studying abroad, so she did it and immediately began to pack her package.
Zhang Yu promised her husband Zhang Jianya that she would return to China as soon as she completed her studies and let her husband wait for her at home.
Although Zhang Jianya didn't want Zhang Yu to go abroad, whoever made himself earn as much as Zhang Yu didn't have the right to speak.
Zhang Yu was not as good as she imagined, feeling helpless, and being anxious about loneliness, language barriers, cultural differences, and financial pressures.
In order to save money, she lived in a dark and damp basement and did manual labor.
One day Zhang Yu fell ill, and Zhang Jianya, who was far away in China, learned of his wife's plight and helped her through the difficult time.
He took the opportunity to participate in the film exhibition to go to the United States, and when Zhang Jianya saw the thin Zhang Yu, his heart was like a knife, and he decided to stay in the United States to accompany his wife.
Under the care of her husband, Zhang Yu gradually regained her health, and she rekindled hope, which made Zhang Yu feel that it was the most beautiful time of her life.
She finally graduated from California State University, Northridge with a master's degree, and Zhang decided to stay in the United States.
However, they had a disagreement, and Zhang Jianya insisted on returning to China to continue his career as a director.
The two tried to convince each other, but they were unsuccessful and had no choice but to divorce.
After the divorce, Zhang Yu did not give up her dream, and she stayed in the United States to continue to pursue the development of her acting career.
Hollywood was not as easy to get into as she thought, and she encountered all kinds of setbacks and difficulties.
Despite this, Zhang Yu did not bow his head and worked hard to improve his acting skills.
A few years later, at the invitation of a friend, Zhang Yu switched to the Taiwanese film and television industry, and her acting skills were recognized and loved by the audience, becoming a high-profile actress at that time.
However, she has never been able to forget one person in her heart - her ex-husband Zhang Jianya.
epilogue
A few years later, Zhang Yu met Zhang Jianya in China by chance, but at this time Zhang Jianya had already formed his own family and had children.
When the two meet again, the emotions are still the same, and they reminisce about those good times. However, the reality cannot be changed, and the two cannot go back to the past in the end.
Zhang Yu said in an interview with "Movie Channel": "He is my first and last husband. ”
After this meeting, Zhang Jianya introduced his current wife to her, and the two women did not fall out, but became good sisters.
Zhang Yu is still alone, and Zhang Jianya has a happy family.
