In 2013, the movie "Chinese Partner" was released, and many young audiences may not understand one thing, why are Cheng Dongqing, Meng Xiaojun and others so insistent on going abroad?
In fact, the prototype of Meng Xiaojun is Xu Xiaoping, his situation in Canada was not much stronger than Meng Xiaojun in the movie, and he put the domestic Peking University teachers improperly, running abroad for his livelihood, what is the picture?
Twenty years ago, in 1994, "Beijingers in New York" premiered, Wang Qiming, who was a cellist in China, dragged his family to live in the basement abroad, brushed dishes and washed dishes and delivered takeaways.
In fact, the people in these movies are just a small wave in the tide of going abroad that year, in the eighties, domestic female stars going abroad has almost become a common thing, and many female stars as long as they get the award immediately go abroad, as a result, Ma Xiaoqing's best supporting actress award has been stirred up by her mentor Xie Jin: "Can't give her an award, give the award she also went abroad."
Those female celebrities who went abroad in the 1980s, are they doing well?
1. Chen Chong
No matter who sorts out this list of female stars who go abroad, Chen Chong is always the first to appear, first she is famous, and second, she goes abroad early.
Chen Chong was born in 1961, won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress in 1980, and went abroad in 1981, when she was only twenty years old, after going abroad, she earned tuition through part-time work like others, and continued to study and further study.
Later female stars who went abroad will also be somewhat influenced by Chen Chong, but Chen Chong's situation is still a little special, her grandfather once studied abroad, this family has a tradition of going abroad, and her brother later went to the United States to become a painter.
In addition, Chen Chong did not seem to go abroad to prove anything, in her cognition, this is probably one of her lifestyles, she has no psychological burden to come and go freely. So, although you know that Chen Chong went abroad very early, it always felt that she had never gone far around the audience.
Today's Chen Chong is not only an Academy Awards judge, but also an excellent actress, who has starred in "Manslaughter", "Rock Solid" and "Loyal Dog Hachiko", it can be said that Chen Chong is probably the most dashing of these female stars who have gone abroad.
Second, Schenkova
Many people do not feel that Schenkova has actually gone abroad, because her works seem to have never stopped, in fact, the 36-year-old Schengova in 1986 with her ex-husband's daughter with her husband Chen Liangsheng to settle in Switzerland, but unlike others, Schengova has been running in two places for many years, and the domestic drama photos are not wrong, so in addition to her nationality is Swiss, other places do not seem to be much different from domestic actresses.
There is a saying that Schenkova also has an unspeakable secret of going abroad, her two husbands are a bit strange, one has a habit of domestic violence, and the other is not accustomed to her flirting with other men in film and television dramas so that she runs to the set to make a big fuss. Schenkova's trip abroad probably also had the idea of healing.
3. Zhang Yu
Who were the hottest female stars of the 1980s? Liu Xiaoqing can be counted, Zhang Yu can also be counted, she is the public lover of that era, and her acting skills have won four awards a year. In 2005, when she returned to Beijing to shoot "Ren Changxia", it caused a sensation, and many uncles ran to the press conference to see Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was born in 1957, in the 1980s, her "Lushan Love", "Bashan Night Rain", "Zhiyin", "Thunderstorm" and "Little Street" and other films were all good movies in that year, but Zhang Yu became an actor because she graduated from junior high school, so she still wanted to further her education, so in 1985 she went to California to study film and television production, due to language problems, she started very poorly, but finally persevered.
After graduation, Zhang Yu persuaded her husband Zhang Jianya to go to the United States to develop, but Zhang Jianya did not want to go, so the two divorced, and Zhang Yu, who was alone, did not shoot in the United States and did not want to return to China, so he went to Taiwan Province to shoot for three years, until he received an invitation from her ex-husband Zhang Jianya to return to the mainland.
In her later years, Zhang Yu occasionally filmed and filmed in China on the one hand and worked as a producer on the other hand, but in the end she could not go back to the past, and people's impression of her seemed to stay on Lushan Mountain. Zhang Yu's going abroad this time, personally, seems unwise.
Fourth, Gong Xue
In the list of the most beautiful actresses in the eighties, Gong Xue will definitely be among the best, her beauty is really beautiful, beautiful without flaws and without regrets, like a white moonlight.
Born in 1953, Gong Xue became popular in the 1980s with films such as "Zhang Heng", "Happy Bachelor" and "Under the Bridge", and won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress in 1984.
However, just when Gong Xue was attracted by everyone's attention, shameless rumors also found her, and some rumors in society troubled her, even if the lawyer of the client published the rumors, it was useless, which made Gong Xue and other actresses who were rumored to be in trouble for a while.
In 1986, Gong Xue, who was tired of fame, went abroad to marry Zhang Xun, a talented son of Peking University, and bid farewell to film and television actor work, and in the following decades, she almost always lived a stable life at home in addition to making cameo appearances in two film and television dramas, in other words, she retired at the age of 33, for this actress who had the reputation of the first beautiful woman, such a life may have some regrets, but more is comfort.
5. Chen Ye
Chen Ye was born in 1955, she is a lucky person, after graduating from high school assigned to work on the farm, accidentally selected by the "Unforgettable Battle" crew of the studio to start a film and television career, as for why she was selected, you can see her photos of that year.
Chen Ye is not very famous in the film and television field, because she has not won important awards, and many times she has starred in supporting roles, such as she played Ci'an in three movies about Cixi, "Burning the Yuanmingyuan", "Hanging Curtains and Listening to the Government", and "A Generation of Demon Queens".
In 1986, Chen Ye went to the United States to study theater at his own expense, and then married an American barrister, Charlie Foster, who is said to be an immigration law adviser to the President of the United States, Chen Ye gave birth to two mixed-race sons, living a rich life in the United States, Liu Xiaoqing often met with her when he came to the United States.
6. Li Yun

7. Yan Xiaopin
Speaking of "On the Water Side", the female number one Du Xiaoshuang went abroad, and the female number two Zhu Shihui also went abroad.
Similar to Li Yun, Yan Xiaopin, who was born in 1965, also has a father who is an actor, Yan Xiang, and she was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy before graduating from middle school, and Li Yun and Lin Fangbing are classmates.
In 1989, Yan Xiaopin and her husband went to the United States to study together, she did some Chinese TV station host work while reading there, "Beijingers in New York" crew went to the United States to shoot a play, Yan Xiaopin participated in the press conference, one is for work, the other is to meet old friend Jiang Wen, I did not expect to be suddenly starred in Guo Yan by director Zheng Xiaolong.

Once Wang Ji, who returned to China to visit relatives, met Chen Daoming, who was preparing to shoot "Beijingers in New York" as the male number two, because Wang Ji had experience in American life, so Chen Daoming recommended her to the director Zheng Xiaolong, which also made Wang Ji popular in one fell swoop.
To be honest, when watching "Beijingers in New York", the most impressive role was undoubtedly Ah Chun, and her style was really rare in China, especially her passion play with Jiang Wen. As everyone knows, At that time, Wang Ji was still pregnant, and the daily shooting of playing with her child's life led to the child's intellectual problems and left a lifelong regret.

This article summarizes not all, there are more than a dozen female stars who went abroad in the eighties, and we must have an objective understanding of this phenomenon.
On the one hand, although the film and television industry in the 1980s developed well, the income of film and television actors was far from being comparable to today, so they may be more eager to go out and give themselves a new opportunity and challenge. On the other hand, of course, there are also some people who follow the trend, after all, going abroad is hot, it seems that going abroad is a sign of success, no matter what the outcome is, anyway, it is out of the country.
Time has passed, more than thirty years have passed, if the current domestic female stars put down the legitimate red acting career to go abroad while working and learning, it is estimated that few people are willing to do so, or no one is willing to do it at all.
As the saying goes, thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi.
