In the 1980s, a movie called "romance on lushan mountain" swept the country.

This film not only opened the "first kiss" in the domestic screen history,

But also entrusted a whole generation with a beautiful yearning for love, which is of epoch-making significance in the history of China movies.

Zhang Yu, who plays the heroine "Zhou Yun", also became an instant hit and became a well-known "double actress".

1984, Zhang Yu, who was at the peak of her career, married Zhang Jianya, the "fifth generation director".

After only 65,438+0 years of marriage, Zhang Yu left her prosperous husband and career and went to study in the United States.

Before leaving, she said to Zhang Jianya, "Wait for me and come back when you learn!"

However, Zhang Jianya waited for six years and finally got a divorce.

Now 3 1 year has passed, and once the husband and wife lived a completely different life, and the situation was very different.

Why did Zhang Yu make such a decision? Does she regret it now?

0 1

1957, Zhang Yu was born in a Gao Qian family.

Both parents are senior intellectuals, and Zhang Yu received a good education because of his superior family background.

Zhang Yu can sing and dance since he was a child, and he is also the backbone of literature and art in school. He often organizes students to rehearse performances.

As the only child in the family, Zhang Yu has always been regarded as the apple of his parents' eye.

Parents don't want their daughter to succeed, they just want her to have a carefree childhood.

Therefore, they did not let Zhang Yu take part in any training class, but let her take part in a swimming class.

At that time, Zhang Yu never thought that he would become a famous actor in the future.

1973, 16-year-old Zhang Yu was studying in Huashan Middle School, and an important turning point in his life came quietly.

Shanghai Film Studio wants to make a cartoon "A Point of Debate" into a movie and go to various schools to find suitable actors.

When the crew came to Huashan Middle School, Zhang Yu was not interested in the performance and had no intention of signing up.

But one of my classmates was a little timid and wanted to try, so she called Zhang Yu to accompany her to the interview.

As a result, the film director was dissatisfied after interviewing several girls, but his eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Yu.

When Zhang Yu was asked to perform her talents, she danced a piece of Little Sisters of Prairie Heroes.

It was this dance that got Zhang Yu his first role in his life.

Zhang Yu's outstanding performance made the director full of praise after he entered the crew of One Point Argument.

Although the film was not released in the end, Zhang Yu embarked on the road of acting.

After graduating from high school, Zhang Yu entered the Shanghai Film Studio and became an official actor.

At first, Zhang Yu, who had no acting foundation, could only play a walk-on and some small roles without lines.

But it seems that she was born in this line of work, and she has a very strong understanding of acting and her acting skills have improved rapidly.

Moreover, Zhang Yu has a good appearance and cheerful personality, and every time he shoots, he can be praised by the directors and actors of the crew.

So on 1977, Zhang Yu got the favor of director Xie Jin, and appeared in the films Youth, Spring Seedlings and Ah! Cradle,

These works further honed Zhang Yu's acting skills and laid the foundation for her future glory.

Unlike Zhang Yu's accidental entry into the entertainment circle, Zhang Jianya has a heartfelt love for performance.

Zhang Jianya is six years older than Zhang Yu and was born in an intellectual family in Putian City, Fujian Province.

His father is a researcher and his mother is a teacher. When Zhang Jianya was two years old, he followed his parents to live in Shanghai.

Because his parents were busy with work, Zhang Jianya had a lonely childhood and developed an introverted and shy character.

After graduating from high school, Zhang Jianya failed to enter his favorite university because of the cancellation of the college entrance examination system.

But he was also assigned to work in Shanghai Jing 'an District Real Estate Bureau, holding an enviable "iron rice bowl".

Although Zhang Jianya leads a stable life, he refuses to settle for the status quo. He wants to pursue more spiritual things.

One day, when Zhang Jianya passed by the Shanghai Workers' Cultural Palace, he was deeply attracted by the drama performed in it.

In this way, Zhang Jianya fell in love with the performing arts and was full of yearning and longing for the stage.

Every day after work, he will go to the workers' cultural palace to watch and learn drama, and sometimes he will perform on stage.

1974, the unit got an index recommended to go to college, and the leader planned to give the quota to Zhang Jianya.

Although it was Zhang Jianya's dream to go to college, he refused when he heard that it was a sports university, because it had nothing to do with literature and art.

In the second year, the unit intends to recommend Zhang Jianya to go to Polytechnic University. Learning a skill was a fragrant bun at that time.

But Zhang Jianya's idea is very firm, and he is not interested in anything except performing plays.

My father was very angry when he learned that Zhang Jianya had given up such a good chance just to become a "player".

Fortunately, if you don't forget, there will be repercussions.

Zhang Jianya's love and persistence in art finally made him wait for a good opportunity.

1975 won the comfortable appreciation of the famous director and was seconded to the Shanghai Film Factory Theatre as an actor.

Although he is a casual extras, Zhang Jianya takes the stage with the same rigor and seriousness.

He can not only play any role, but also sing Beijing opera and play Allegro. He is the most versatile person in the group.

He is hard-working and has a good relationship in the group. Everyone likes him very much.

By chance, Zhang Jianya and Zhang Yu met and got to know each other in the studio, which opened their fate.

Although Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya are both actors in film companies, they used to be only nodding acquaintances.

What really warms them is an experience of borrowing books.

One day, Zhang Yu wanted to borrow books from his old-timer Jiao Huang, but there was no contact information.

Colleague Guo Kaimin knew that Zhang Jianya and Jiao Huang had a good relationship, so he took Zhang Yu to Zhang Jianya.

For the first time, two people looked at each other seriously. Facing the big beauty in front of her, Zhang Jianya is both admiring and timid.

After taking Zhang Yu to borrow books from Jiao Huang's house, Zhang Jianya sent her back to the door.

After this contact, Zhang Jianya fell in love with beautiful, generous, warm and easy-going Zhang Yu.

At that time, Zhang Yu had made several films, and he was the main actor in the factory.

Zhang Jianya is not only an extras, but also an unknown walk-on.

He felt that he was not good enough for Zhang Yu, so he had to keep his love to himself.

He swore in his heart that he must be a better person, and then he would express his love to Zhang Yu.

Soon after, Zhang Jianya took this momentum to apply for the performance department of Beijing Film Academy.

But at the age of 27, he has exceeded the limit of the performance department, so he changed the director department.

With his experience in the drama troupe, Zhang Jianya stood out from more than 1000 applicants, became one of the 6 people who were admitted, and became classmates with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

While Zhang Jianya was advancing, Zhang Yu reached the peak of his career.

1980, Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin starred in the movie romance on lushan mountain, and she played the heroine "Zhou Jun".

After the film was released, it spread throughout the country. At that time, when the ticket price was only 20 cents, it won a box office as high as 654.38 billion yuan.

The beautiful love between the hero and heroine in the film and the beautiful scenery of Lushan Mountain make countless audiences feel uneasy.

Moreover, Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin also presented their "first kiss" on China's big screen in the film.

Although it was only a quick kiss on the cheek, it was definitely a "big scale" in that conservative era.

With this film, Zhang Yu became a "national idol" and won the Best Actress Award in the 4th Hundred Flowers Award.

In the same year, Zhang Yu also starred in the movie "Late Rain" and played the advanced young woman "Liu Wenying".

This film won her the 1 Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and became the "Double Shadow Queen".

Zhang Yu was so popular that the clothes she wore in the movies became the most popular fashion at that time.

Every time she goes in and out of the studio and residence, she is surrounded by fans and has to dress up in disguise.

Her mailbox is also full of all kinds of job invitations, and there are many invitations that the boss wants to invite her to dinner.

And love letters from all over the country.

At that time, there was no salary for filming in Zhang Yu, and it was still a fixed salary in 47 yuan every month.

The sudden outbreak of popularity did not make her taste too much, but made her feel troubled and at a loss.

She described it as "I feel like living in a transparent prison, and everything is being watched".

For Zhang Yu, acting is her career, and she wants to play every role in a down-to-earth way.

What she wants more than fame is to improve her acting skills and learn more acting skills.

Zhang Yu's pursuit and ideal, Zhang Jianya can understand very well, he is the person who knows her best.

1982, Zhang Jianya graduated from the director department of Nortel, and directed the film Red Elephant with Xie Xiaojing and Tian Zhuangzhuang.

After that, Zhang Jianya officially stepped into the directing industry and gradually formed an enterprising photography style.

In July of the same year, Zhang Jianya finally had the courage to express his love to Zhang Yu and poured out his love for many years.

Two people who have the same pursuit of literature and art have a feeling of mutual appreciation.

Zhang Yu, who had no intention of falling in love, slowly fell in love with Zhang Jianya, and they came together.

After falling in love, the two were very close, but they almost broke up because of an accident.

At that time, two girls in Shanghai saw photos of Zhang Yu and Wong Kar-wai in two magazines respectively.

Wong Kar-wai was the most popular volleyball star at that time, and also the national male god in the hearts of countless girls.

The two girls have a mischievous idea. Can you connect the two hottest people?

So they pretended to be Zhang Yu and wrote to Wong Kar-wai. I didn't expect the other party to believe it.

In fact, I already have a girlfriend, Zhang, a national women's volleyball player.

Although they have reached the point of talking about marriage, I didn't expect Wong Kar-wai to love Zhang Yu in his heart.

In this way, Wong Kar-wai and the "fake Zhang Yu" began to communicate, and the two sides also exchanged token of love.

This incident soon reached the ears of women queuing all over the country, and everyone thought it was Zhang Yu's "interference" in other people's feelings.

Seeing the scandal raging, Zhang Yu had to come forward to clarify that the person who wrote this letter was not himself.

At that time, she traveled to Australia with China Film Group, and the itinerary was completely different from what the letter said.

This time, the "fake Zhang Yu" finally gave away the clues, and Wong Kar-wai realized that he had been "played".

The Oolong incident passed quickly, but it didn't affect the feelings of Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya.

However, the relationship between Wong Kar-wai and his girlfriend broke down, and he lost face overnight and went abroad.

1984, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya entered the marriage hall, and they played the piano and sang harmoniously.

After marriage, Zhang Yu still devoted himself to his career, starring in Clear Water Bay, Thunderstorm, Ming Girl and other films.

Each of her roles has been recognized by the audience and won a grand slam in various awards.

But the more rings on her head, the harder it is for Zhang Yu to be satisfied with the status quo. She misses by going up one flight of stairs.

In addition, Zhang Yu didn't go to college, which is her long-standing regret.

So just married 1 year, Zhang Yu signed up for the star class of Nortel and wanted to continue to improve her acting skills.

But when she came to school, principal Xie Fei smiled and said to her, "You are very good at acting. There is no teacher here to teach you. You should go to Hollywood for further study. " ,

After hearing this, Zhang Yu thought about it and decided to follow the headmaster's suggestion and go to study in the United States.

But when she went home to discuss with Zhang Jianya, he raised an objection: "We just got married, should we separate?" ,

Zhang Yu had to express her thoughts to her husband seriously, and vowed, "When I come back, when I learn, I will definitely come back.".

Seeing that his wife's attitude was so firm, Zhang Jianya chose to understand and support her decision.

1985, Zhang Yu set foot on a plane to the United States alone.

She came to California State University Northridge and began to study film and television production.

The days of studying in the United States are not easy. In order to save money, Zhang Yu rented a basement.

In order to earn enough tuition and living expenses, she works as a part-time tutor after class every day.

We should not only endure loneliness without relatives and friends, but also overcome all kinds of inadaptability in a foreign land alone.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu is a very strong woman, and she suffered all this alone.

During those six years, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya could only communicate through letters, and they seldom got together.

One of them is busy studying abroad, the other is working hard at home, and they have already lost their common life.

Gradually, their feelings were slowly diluted by time and distance, and this marriage has existed in name only.

199 1, the two failed to withstand the test of different places and finally chose a peaceful divorce.

After the divorce, both of them felt very painful, but they also knew that this relationship could not go back after all.

Zhang Yu had to choose to paralyze himself by studying and working, and he was bent on marching into Hollywood.

But where is Hollywood so good to travel? Especially for a China person with no background,

The results of several interviews were not satisfactory, and the roles and scripts she could receive made her feel difficult to play.

Just as Zhang Yu hesitated to return to China for development, the producer in Taiwan Province sent her a job invitation.

In the next three years, Zhang Yu filmed the famous prostitute Li Shishi, The Red Flower Girl and Cut off the Prince.

1993, Zhang Jianya, the ex-husband who had not contacted for a long time, found Zhang Yu.

He said, "I want you to act in a new feature film. Go back to the mainland. Many viewers are expecting you. " ,

Hearing this, Ms. Cheung shed tears obsessively and accepted Zhang Jianya's invitation.

After returning to China, Zhang Yu found that in the eight years after he left, the domestic film and television industry developed rapidly.

Numerous powerful new actresses have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and she is no longer the "national idol" of that year.

So after filming "Mr. Wang is on fire" directed by Zhang Jianya,

Zhang Yu intends to formally transform into a producer and director, and this decision has also been supported and helped by Zhang Jianya.

Although they are no longer husband and wife, they still know each other's girlfriends best.

After 1995, Zhang Yu participated in the film The Sun has Ears for the first time as a producer.

In addition to what she learned in the United States, she could not do without Zhang Jianya's behind-the-scenes guidance.

In the following days, Zhang Yu not only invested and filmed movies, but also developed gold mines in Southeast Asia.

Zhang Yu, who entered the business world, gradually became a strong woman with a thriving career.

But for so many years, she has never started a new relationship. She is all alone.

Zhang Yu, 65, has no children and has been living alone.

In 2000, Zhang Jianya remarried an outsider and the couple settled in Shanghai.

Soon after, he was promoted to father, and the family of three lived a happy life.

Zhang Jianya is still active in the entertainment circle, and his career keeps climbing to new heights.

Director's works with excellent box office and word of mouth, such as "Make a scene in Heaven", "Emergency Landing" and "Love Call Transfer".

In recent years, he has also participated in explosive movies such as My People, My Home, 192 1, Me and Father.

Every time the other party needs help, they will lend a helping hand to each other like girlfriends.

Today, Zhang Jianya, 7 1 year-old, and his wife live a quiet and warm life.

His children have grown into sensible and filial adults, so they don't need to worry about the old couple.

Energetic, he continued to direct and participate in movies, never giving up his pursuit and love for art,

However, Zhang Yu has faded out of people's sight, and the former A-list actress has long lost her luster.

Single for 3 1 year after divorce, now living a leisurely life of traveling and fitness alone.

Their marriage at that time was a pity, but everything has dissipated in the past with time.

Of course, the goddess will grow old, but Zhang Yu can live gracefully and calmly and realize her self-worth.

I just don't know, when Zhang Yu recalls the past one day, will she regret her original decision?
