Chapter 25 What happened to Zhang Zhiyun

In the early Chinese film industry, there were two actresses known as "Porn Stars", one was Ruan Lingyu and the other was Zhang Zhiyun.The two are both Cantonese, and they are both adopted daughters. They both married Tang Jishan, a tea merchant. The coincidences are unbelievable.The famous director Zhang Shichuan once said: "An actor in front of the camera can do more than 60% of the director's instructions. . Ruan Ling Yulan is kind-hearted, she can see through a little bit, and can realize more than 90% of the director's ideas. Knowing Cantonese, guiding her to perform in front of the camera is very difficult, compared with Ruan Lingyu's acting skills, it is really incomparable. But she is humble and humble, so she became a red star later on."

Zhang Zhiyun is a native of Zhongshan, Guangdong. He came to Shanghai with his adoptive mother to make a living when he was young. Because of his poor family, he dropped out of school before finishing middle school.She has little contact with the society and has no understanding of the ways of the world, so foreign negotiations and life arrangements are all at the discretion of her adoptive mother.The adoptive mother was a cunning woman who was dishonest and mercenary, which caused Zhang Zhiyun's rough life.Zhang Zhiyun first made her fortune by joining a star company. She co-starred with Yang Naimei, Zhu Fei, and Zheng Xiaoqiu in "Konggulan", which premiered at Carlton.At that time, Carlton was the first round of western film theaters, and the selection of films was strict, and Chinese films could not be squeezed in. "Konggulan" was able to premiere in Carlton, and everyone was amazed that it was an anomaly.It is said that Star Company is planning to attack the newly established "Minxin Company" with the attitude of being the first to win, and it is the first of its kind for Chinese films to be staged in this theater by using a two-pronged approach.

"Konggulan" was staged, and the ticket was presented with a beautifully printed brochure with multiple pictures and a thickness of more than 30 pages.After such vigorous publicity, "Konggulan" really made a lot of money for the star company, and set the highest box office record with "The Robber Chalu" starring Fairbanks.But it's a good thing, no one knows it's not a disaster, Star Company has just promoted Zhang Zhiyun as a red-hot movie star, but Li Minwei and Li Yingsheng from Minxin Company immediately value him, Gan Yanhoubi scooped him up. In the 13th and 14th years of the Republic of China, when the film industry was in its infancy, actors and companies were separated and reunited, mainly based on emotional friendship. Although they all had contracts, the binding power of the contracts was extremely limited.Therefore, when an actor jumps jobs, he can just look away, unlike the current contract that has unlimited authority. Before the contract expires, there is no way to transfer positions.Li Minwei, Li Yingsheng and Zhang Zhiyun's mother and daughter are from the same hometown. Cantonese are the most friendly people. At the same time, Zhang Zhiyun Jinmin's first play "Jade Clean and Bingqing" is based on a famous novel by Tianjin famous novelist Pan Gong.The story tells that a young painter went to the countryside to sketch, and met an innocent girl, and the two fell in love from acquaintance.When the painter returned to the city, he fell in love with the wealth of a rich girl and made another marriage.It was learned by a village girl that she suffered from dementia due to excessive grief.This role of a rural girl is quite in line with Zhang Zhiyun's path of grief. Coupled with Li and Li's silver bullet offensive against Zhang Zhiyun's adoptive mother, Zhang Zhiyun happily transferred to Minxin Company.

At the beginning of Zhang Zhiyun's career in the world of film and television, he starred in various films in Star Company, with Bu Wancang as the photographer.The use of lighting, the arrangement of the location, and the interspersed close-ups, through Bu Wancang's careful planning, can add a certain amount of beauty to the picture, and Bu Wancang is exactly Zhang Xu back then, with his subtle demeanor, clear words, and getting along with him for a long time, he actually won the hearts of beauties .But Zhang's adoptive mother knew that if she wanted to go to Longmen at this moment, she would have to rely on Bu Wancang's support, so she actively matched up, so Bu and Zhang changed from colleagues to friends, and soon built a fragrant nest in the Guba Road camp to share their blessings. cohabitation love.At the same time, Bu's good friends Gong Jianong and Tang Jie moved in to live with him, and they both joined Minxin Company as actors.

Naturally, Bu Wancang was the director of "Jade Clean and Bingqing", and this is where the problem came.The boss Li Minwei saw that Zhang Zhiyun's eyes were bright and glamorous, so he told Director Bu that he planned to appear on the screen as the leading actor in "Jade". It is most appropriate to act by yourself.Bu Wancang was in a dilemma, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to ask Li and Ouyang to audition in makeup respectively.Li Nian is over middle-aged, and has lost the elegant demeanor of a furry horse. Ouyang was born in a Peking Opera dan role, and he appeared on stage in full color, but he felt that the makeup was too thick.Because of this, Bu Wancang and Boss Li had an imperceptible estrangement. As soon as the filming of "Yujie Bingqing" was finished, Bu and Li broke out in a cold war, and Bu Zaimin gradually became an idler.

Another boss of Minxin, Li Yingsheng, is a Chinese interpreter for the police station in the Shanghai French Concession.Although the status of translators in the early years was not high, but as a house catcher, you can betray Fengyun Leiyu.His wife also took advantage of Li's special status to make friends with the wealthy, rich, powerful, and dignitaries, and became a female tycoon in the social circles of Shiliyangchang at that time.Based on the social atmosphere in Shanghai at that time, everyone believed that movie stars were relatively high-end companions in social situations. Being able to eat and dance with movie stars with them felt that their status was high and their faces had infinite brilliance.Mrs. Li Yingsheng took advantage of this mentality and often went out to socialize as the proprietress.At first, Bu Wancang was also invited to participate in Yan You, but later Zhang Zhiyun was invited alone.Bu Wancang saw that something was wrong, and asked Zhang to pay attention to Li's powder trap and be more vigilant.But Zhang Aa had just stepped into the luxurious place, he was novelty and playful, he took Bu's golden and jade words as autumn wind, ignored him, and intensified the situation instead.Later, the more people Zhang met on social occasions, the more complicated the communication.Zhang Ben was born clean and clean, gorgeous and graceful, like a soft flower amidst the fragrance of people's clothing and the smell of flowers and wine, he gradually became the target of rich men, but it was not pleasing to see Bu Wancang's self-willedness.From small quarrels to big quarrels, each other's vicious words gradually turned into Yin Xing avoiding each other.One day Zhang returned to Shanghai after filming a film in Suzhou.Bu Wancang knew that Nong's heart had changed, and the situation was irreversible. After three years of marriage, he reluctantly broke up.

Not long after Zhang Zhiyun and Bu Wancang separated, they indulged in singing and dancing every day, living a life of soft kisses with red lips and graceful dancing.Tang Jishan, a tea merchant, has a lot of money and is free, so she naturally took advantage of the opportunity to enter, and the sun was near the dressing table.The strong woman is afraid of rubbing men, and soon after the feast is grand, after Tang's banquet at the Huizhong Hotel, she hides her beauty in the golden house, and Zhang never leaves the mansion, living a gentle and rural life, which is tantamount to being completely isolated from society.Even when Shi Yong'an catches a glimpse, it is rare for Ming friends who used to be close friends to say hello.As time goes by, fans of the past tragic Cleopatra gradually forgot about her.

Tang Jishan grew tired of Zhang Zhiyun for a long time, fell in love with Ruan Lingyu, and abandoned Zhang Ru.At this time, Zhang Zhiyun had just awakened from his dream, thinking about making a comeback.Zhang Shichuan, a star company, heard that Zhang Zhiyun had become a donation for the autumn fan. He missed the old friendship and wanted to give her a hand.However, movies have entered the era of sound from silent, and Zhang Zhiyun's Mandarin is not very good, so I had to invite Tang Huaiqiu to cooperate with her to make a Cantonese-pronounced film "Broken Love".Cantonese films were not very popular in Shanghai, and the lighting was dim and the pronunciation was unclear. Zhang not only failed to restore his previous reputation, but made people feel that he was an old star, and it was really difficult to compete with modern red stars.Afterwards, the savings around her were spent one after another, and no one seemed to mention the generation of porn stars.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the major hotels in Tianjin were not occupied by legitimate tourists, but bees and butterflies. In other words, apart from the original regular guests, every hotel was occupied by a group of goddesses.One day I was visiting friends in "Paris". At the corner of the elevator on the third floor, I saw a beautiful woman with a plain face and a natural charm; Before she became popular in the star company, Ding Ziming, the head of Shenzhou Film Company, suddenly retired. Zhang Zhiyun also wanted to change the environment and move to Shenzhou Film Company to seek another development. Wang Xuchang, the boss of Shenzhou Film Company, also believed that if there is a good script and a good director Zhang Zhiyun was sure to become a wonder in the film industry, but because her adoptive mother demanded too much remuneration, no agreement could be reached.I was present at several interviews, so she is no stranger to me.After she was also taken aback, she remembered the past and immediately pulled me to her room to sit for a while.Since she failed to make a film again, and her adoptive mother passed away due to illness, she has been so popular that she has no face to show.After wandering in Wuhan for a while, I came to Tianjin again. I saw that she was in a very bad situation, and I planned to give her some money, but I was afraid that her face would be troubled.Xiao Zuo resigned and begged Zhang, the owner of Yuanxing Hotel, to pay the hotel fee for one month on her behalf, so that she would not have to worry about the rent every day.After more than a year, I went to Tianjin again, and the boss of Yuanxing Zhang told me that Zhang Zhiyun had stopped staying at the Paris Hotel half a year ago.The traces of the fragrance are faint, probably the soul has already returned to Lihentian.
