Recently, the OFFICIAL LINEUP OF THE TV SERIES "LIN Shen Sees The Deer" was announced, and the male and female protagonists were played by Jin Dong and Li Xiaoran.
Director Zang Xichuan is very famous, he has cooperated with Zhang Yimou many times, and is the assistant director of "The Golden Armor in the City", "The Surprise of the Three Guns Shooting", "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and "Jinling Thirteen Chao". He independently directed the film and television drama "Fist Storm", "Donor", "Sleeping Garden" and so on. This time as the director of "Lin Shen See Deer", coupled with the fact that the actors are all powerful, so that this drama has a high degree of attention.
In the cast column, there is a name that comes into view, she is Zhang Yu, a well-known actress in the 1980s. Her name is third, and the scene should be heavy.
Speaking of Zhang Yu, I have to mention her famous work "Lushan Love", which is this drama that made Zhang Yu, who was unknown at that time, a household name.
Taking over the filming of "Lushan Love", there were twists and turns
In the movie "Lushan Love", the candidate for the heroine at the beginning was not Zhang Yu.
Because the heroine Zhou Yun is the daughter of a former Kuomintang general living in the United States, director Huang Zumo wants to find an actress with outstanding appearance and foreign spirit.
Huang Zumo initially set his sights on Wu Haiyan, who was known as "a flower on the shadow". And just at this time, Wu Haiyan's uncle Tang Huada's drama "Wait until the mountains are full of red leaves" came to the door, although Wu Haiyan liked the role of Zhou Yun very much, after weighing, she had to reject "Lushan Love" and chose "Wait until the mountains are full of red leaves".
Many years later, when the reporter talked about refusing to play Zhou Yun in that year, Wu Haiyan said: "I believe in fate very much, and people's encounters in life are very important!" "Expressed deep regret.
In the end, there was a woman named "Huaihai Road A Branch of Flowers" Jiang Xun became the best candidate for "Zhou Jun". Because she is not only beautiful, but also has a wrist for communication, and she is often surrounded by some foreigners. Unexpectedly, when the movie was about to be filmed, Jiang Xun exposed a shocking scandal because of the sale of fake gold jewelry to foreign guests, so she said goodbye to this role. (By the way, this one named Jiang Xun is the later Gong Xuehua).
The casting was not successful, the director was not discouraged, he thought of Liu Xiaoqing, although he did not look very outstanding, but in the acting skills of continuous breakthroughs, can always give people unexpected surprises. Through the contact, I learned that Liu Xiaoqing had agreed to star in "The Mysterious Buddha", and he lacked skill.
When Huang Zumo was struggling for casting, someone introduced him to the newcomer actor Zhang Yu.
At that time Daniel Zhang, Zhang Yu only starred in "Ah! In "Cradle", he played a nursery school teacher who did not play a small role, and played a young Ah Yan who did not think of self-motivation in "Youth" starring Chen Chong.
Huang Zumo looked at Zhang Yu, who was slightly "rustic", full of doubts, not knowing whether she could play the role of Zhou Yun.
After the audition, Zhang Yu's performance full of spirit and a new image made Huang Zumo dispel his worries and immediately settle down.
In the play, the heroine changed 43 sets of fashionable costumes, after the release of the movie, leading the new trend of fashion, the young girls and young women on the street are imitating the film Zhou Jun's dress, the sunglasses stuck in the hair, can be used as a hair band, and very fashionable.
The film is the first kiss scene in China, pinning on the love banner and feelings of an entire generation.
With the movie "Lushan Love", Zhang Yu won the Best Actress Award at the 4th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films, becoming a hot star, shooting many masterpieces, and creating a number of "firsts" in the Chinese film industry.
"Bashan Night Rain"
The film won Zhang Yu the best actress at the 1st Golden Rooster Awards for Chinese Cinema, which is of extraordinary significance.

Directed by Xie Tieli, Chen Huaigao and Ba Hong, such a large lineup of directors was rare at that time. The male protagonist Cai Yi is played by the type male Wang Xingang, and Zhang Yu plays the famous prostitute Xiao Fengxian in Kyoto, and the two have many rival scenes.
When the song "Zhiyin" sung by Li Guyi sounded in the movie, "The mountains are green, the water is blue... It is rare to have a confidant in life, and it is the most difficult to find a voice in the ages" resonated with the audience and became the most sung song at that time. The characters in Zhang Yu and Wang Xingang's dramas are also all the rage, appearing on the covers of various newspapers and magazines.
"Little Street"
Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin cooperated for the second time after "Lushan Love", and the two cooperated tacitly to fully express the sincere feelings of young boys and girls during the turbulent period.
The most eye-catching thing is that Zhang Yu cut a super short, almost "tomboy" hairstyle. Exquisite facial features control this hairstyle is beautiful with a sense of coolness, which has also become a common hairstyle for Zhang Yu in the future, known as "Zhang Yutou".
