"Lushan Love" back then can be said to open a new era of our films.
It's a pity that Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin, the "screen couple", couldn't really get together.
However, this film helped her reach the peak of her career.
However, Zhang Yu, who came to his peak, did not continue to develop in China, but packed up his things and went abroad.
But when she came back, she found that there was almost no place for her to "survive" in front of the big screen, and even her happy marriage had disappeared......
Today's Zhang Yu is 66 years old, not only "no one dares to marry", but also has no children and no daughters......
Zhang Yu is obviously so famous, why did he end up "helpless"?
So what should she do with the assets she has worked so hard to accumulate all her life?
Zhang Yu's failed marriage
Zhang Yu, as the heroine of the "First Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award", her suitors should be from home to France.
But why do you still experience a failed marriage?
It turns out that all this has to start with "Lushan Love", and we all hoped that Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin would eventually become married.
It's just that the pair of young people they played in the play made everyone refreshed, and the story of finally becoming a family after ups and downs made everyone think that these two people are definitely the most suitable partners in reality.
But there is a gap between the characters in the play and himself in reality after all, and in the end, Guo Kaimin did not get together with Zhang Yu, but with Guo Kaimin's encouragement, Zhang Yu met Zhang Jianya of Shanghai Film Studio.
The story outside the play is as exciting as the inside of the play, and after Zhang Jianya and Zhang Yu met, the two had different feelings.
Especially from Zhang Jianya's enthusiasm and help in life, the two of them gradually had the warmth of home in each other, so in 1984, the two entered the marriage hall with everyone's blessings.
I thought that when the marriage began, they would live a life of "no envy of mandarin ducks and no immortals".
But the reality gave them a "slap in the face".
It turned out that before marriage, Zhang Yu's career soared, and the movies she starred in basically caused huge repercussions, and she naturally became the most popular actress.
However, Zhang Yu did not feel satisfied with this, but felt that as an idol, she was no different from ordinary people.
She even thinks that her appearance is just accidental, although she can receive a lot of letters a day, but she still feels that her performance is lacking.
However, due to her growing reputation in China, there are fewer and fewer people who dare to teach her, so the idea of entering Hollywood was born.
And she and Zhang Jianya began to become a "long-distance relationship" from here, and Zhang Yu, who went to the United States alone, may be the starting point of the breakdown of their marriage......
Break out of Asia and go to the world
Since Zhang Yu is not a person who has always received formal acting training, her desire to develop overseas is becoming stronger day by day.
On the one hand, it is the newly married family, and on the other hand, it is the development of a future career.
If the relationship between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight, so Zhang Yu still chose the latter, and Zhang Yu, who went overseas, did not live a life of "head and face".
After all, domestic fame can't be taken overseas, and because few people know her, even eating has become a problem, and sometimes she can get a job as a tutor to ensure that she won't be starved.
During the Spring Festival in 1985, Zhang Yu still did not reunite with Zhang Jianya.
On the contrary, Zhang Yu had an illness overseas, suffering from being alone, and there was no one around him to bring tea and water......
At that time, there was no such developed network as it is now, and if you wanted to get in touch, you had to rely on long-distance phone calls, but the phone bill became a "huge" expense.
So when he was overseas, Zhang Yu's happiest time was when he received a letter from Zhang Jianya in China.
At that time, Zhang Yu may not have experienced the "torture" of reality, she naively thought that as long as it was true feelings, she would not be affected by separation, but when she returned to China, she found that Zhang Jianya, who often corresponded with her, was actually like a stranger.
Although it is said to be a relationship between husband and wife, this relationship is like a name......
If Zhang Jianya agrees to go to the United States with him, or if Zhang Yu returns to China to continue to develop, then this marriage is likely to be another result.
In the end, neither of the two could convince anyone, Zhang Yu continued to insist on studying and developing overseas, and Zhang Jianya still hoped that he would take root in China, so the marriage between the two had to announce divorce before they had time to have children......
Leave the screen and go behind the scenes
thought that Zhang Jianya and Zhang Yu would be separated from each other after the breakup, and no one would contact anyone......
But the two are still very good friends, although they are divorced, Zhang Jianya still cares about Zhang Yu very much.
Zhang Yu is probably the only one who knows how hard she has lived in the United States, not only to face the problem of adapting to the water and soil, but also to language and loneliness are also a big enemy of living alone.
How could Zhang Jianya not know this?
Just when he needed to shoot the new film "Mr. Wang's Burning Desire", the role of the heroine wanted to be left to Zhang Yu, so he made this call.
Zhang Yu, who was once a husband and wife, must have known Zhang Jianya's "careful thinking", and under Zhang Jianya's repeated encouragement and persuasion, Zhang Yu finally embarked on a journey back to China.
After coming back, she plans to let go of her fists and feet, because she studied film and television directing overseas, and she has been separated from the motherland for a long time, and there are already new actors on the big screen who have replaced her status as an "idol".
So he transferred half of his energy to the background, and the other half was still put in front of the stage.
1995's "The Sun Has Ears" was her first work directed and acted in, and this work gave her great encouragement, after all, it was awarded some awards at the 46th Berlin International Film Festival.
Inspired by this, she chose to pursue the victory, and her second self-directed and self-starred work "Sunfire" met with everyone the following year......
Zhang Yu's current situation
Zhang Yu, who returned from school, can be said to continue to shine in the entertainment industry.
Both as a behind-the-scenes producer and as a heroine in front of the scenes.
It wasn't until 2005 that it ushered in a hit again, and her "Ren Changxia" was seen by audiences across the country in a new style, and it also received good reviews.
In this way, actor Zhang Yu is still quite powerful, but she is still quite "pitiful" in life, because she has not remarried since her divorce from Zhang Jianya, let alone having children to support her in the future.
And the savings she has struggled for a lifetime must be astronomical, since there are no children to inherit, then I believe that Zhang Yu has already considered what will happen to this property in the future......
epilogue
It's a pity that the "Golden Boy" and the "Jade Girl" couldn't be together!
But what is even more regrettable is her marriage to Zhang Jianya, if the two of them persist until now, it may be another story.
We don't know if the 66-year-old Zhang Yu regrets his choice to stay abroad......
