The movie "Lushan Love" is played on a loop in Lushan all year round and has become a Guinness book record for the number of movies broadcast in the world.
Can be played 365 days a year, such a movie, the degree of classics is self-evident.
Today is about the heroine in the movie that year, her name is Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu has bright eyes, a handsome face, and is a well-known goddess star in the 80s.
Like actresses such as Liu Xiaoqing, Gong Xue, and Pan Hong, she is a collective memory of a generation.
In 1980, Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin starred in the movie "Lushan Love", which became a miracle of new Chinese cinema, it is an excellent love story movie, or the first film in China to have a kiss scene.
The film gave Zhang Yu the best actress at the first Golden Rooster Awards for Chinese Cinema, when she was only 23 years old.
Since then, Zhang Yu has successively starred in classic movies such as "Bashan Night Rain", "Small Street", "Zhiyin" and so on.
But soon, Zhang Yu, like Chen Chong and others, went to the United States to study, and after many years, finally became a U.S. citizen.
Looking back at Zhang Yu's path to fame, she was not so smooth in the early days.
Zhang Yu did not think about becoming an actor in his childhood, but had a great interest in swimming.
If she hadn't become an actress later, she would have become a swimmer, but things are so coincidental.
In 1973, the Shanghai Film Studio resumed production, and if you want to shoot a movie, the actors face a huge gap.
So the directors had to target Zhang Yu, Guo Kaimin and other people who were studying in middle school, that year, the film studio was preparing to make the movie "One Point Dispute" to choose actors, some students wanted to go to the interview, and they were scared and pulled Zhang Yu to accompany them.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Zhang Yu was selected by the director, although the final film was not made, but Zhang Yu has been registered by the director in the backup talent pool.
In 1974, after graduation, Zhang Yu began to participate in film performances.
Compared with other students, Zhang Yu was lucky, because some students were also excellent in literature and art, but they did not take the road of art in the end.

After "Lushan Love", Zhang Yu cooperated with Guo Kaimin in the film "Little Street", and the film won her four championships, including the Xiaobaihua Award for Best Actress, and some people said that year was "Zhang Yu Nian".
So far, Zhang Yu has won the post-film title of China's major film festivals with the films "Little Street", "Bashan Night Rain" and "Lushan Love", and has become one of the female superstars of Chinese films.
Zhang Yu, who is only in her twenties, has already achieved fame in the Chinese film industry, but she is not satisfied.

In 1984, Zhang Yu heard that the Beijing Film Academy was going to run a star class, and when she went to apply for the exam, she was rejected by dean Xie Fei, who said: You are already a big star, who dares to teach you? Let's go to Hollywood.
Soon, a relative in the United States wrote to Zhang Yu, asking her to go to the United States to study for further study, the procedures can be all inclusive, then she was moved, instead of growing up in the domestic environment, it is better to go outside to study abroad, and maybe there will be a new world waiting for her.

However, at that time, Zhang Yu was already married to the director Zhang Jianya, and her husband was initially opposed.
But Zhang Yu said: Rest assured, I will come back.
In the face of his eager wife, Zhang Jianya had to reluctantly agree, and reluctantly sent Zhang Yu on the plane.
Zhang Yu, who has just arrived in the United States, the first difficulty to overcome is the language barrier, after several years of hard work, she finally slowly adapted to the life of study.
But in the life of the couple's feelings, they often cry while talking on the phone, and when she comes back a few years later, she has found that their feelings have no longer the passion of the past.
In the early 1990s, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya agreed to divorce, but they were still good friends.
He has studied in the United States for many years and learned a lot of filmmaking techniques, but Zhang Yu has no place to exert his artistic talents.
Although she is a big star in China, in the United States, she is just an ordinary Chinese, and if she wants to make movies, she has to pass basic jobs such as auditions and interviews, and may not be able to be selected.
In 1991, Zhang Yu was invited to Taiwan to shoot a drama, and in more than three years, she took over a lot of TV dramas.
No wonder some people ask, why did Zhang Yu appear in the TV series "Bao Qingtian"? It turned out to be her work during the Taiwan period.

In 1993, Zhang Yu returned to the mainland of the motherland after an 8-year absence and continued to work in film.
But she has risen from being an actress to the height of a producer, and she began to try to invest in film and television.
In 2005, Zhang Yu starred in the film "Ren Changxia", which won the award for Best Feature Film, and she herself was nominated for both the Huabiao Award and the Best Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Award.
Zhang Yu, who had been silent for many years, finally received attention again, but at that time, she was already middle-aged, and there was not much chance to become popular again.
Therefore, Zhang Yu also understood her own situation, and she began to try to be a director and a producer.
Because of the fame of "Lushan Love", so she has a deep affection for this movie, in 2010 Zhang Yu directed Lushan Love's sequel film "Lushan Love 2010", but the cost of 10 million yuan was invested, and it only received 1.5 million box office in 2011.
Since directing the film "Cloud Brocade" in 2012, Zhang Yu has not appeared in any other work, and it is not known whether she is in the United States or China.
Zhang Yu, born in 1957, is 63 years old, but it is rumored that she did not remarry after her divorce and lived childlessly.
A generation of legendary actresses, in the most popular time chose to run away, if she has been in the country, perhaps another achievement, married life may be more satisfactory.
But this is everyone's choice, the fate is different, only to produce a different color.
