Wu Yujuan, this name may no longer be familiar, but she was once a popular star in the eighties of the last century, as famous as Gong Li, and left us many classic film and television works. Her life is also a legend, from a poor rural girl, to an actor who has won numerous awards, and then to a director who has lost her family, she has experienced countless ups and downs, and has also gained countless honors. Her love life is also full of ups and downs, she once loved a person who shouldn't be loved, and she was loved by a person who didn't deserve love, and her son was also her heart and mind. Her life is a legend and a tragedy, so let's take a look back at her story.
The starting point of the struggle.
Wu Yujuan was born in 1965, her hometown is a small county in Hunan, her parents are farmers, and she is the second child of four children. She had a unhappy childhood, her family was very poor, and her mother had suffered a blow and went insane. Her elder brother joined the army in order to reduce the burden on the family, and she, as the eldest daughter in the family, had to take on the responsibility of taking care of the family. She dropped out of school at a young age and followed the local Flower Drum Troupe, learned Xi to perform, and performed everywhere to earn a meager income. She was very talented and dedicated, and soon became the main force of the troupe, but due to the market downturn, the troupe eventually disbanded and she lost her job. She was assigned to a winery as an assembly line worker, and she felt that her life was over, but her fate took a turn at this time. When she was working in a distillery, she saw an admission brochure for the ** Drama Academy, and she felt that this was an opportunity to change her fate, and she decided to take the exam. She has no money, no background, she only has a heart that loves acting, she took dozens of yuan and a bottle of chili sauce, and set out on the road to Beijing. When she arrived, the exams were over, but she didn't give up, she approached the admissions teacher and asked for a chance. The teacher was moved by her sincerity and asked her to perform a skit and a song, although her Mandarin was not standard, but her performance was very infectious, and the teacher admitted her exceptionally. She thought that her cultural classes were not enough, but she didn't expect that the number of students enrolled in Chinese opera was insufficient that year, and the admission line was lowered, and she and Gong Li were admitted together. She finally realized her dream and became a student of Chinese opera.
The price of fame.
Wu Yujuan is one of the outstanding looks among the classmates of Chinese opera, she has a pure face, a pair of bright eyes, she also has the performance foundation of flower drum opera, she does not have much difficulty in learning Xi acting, she works hard to learn Mandarin Xi, and strives to improve her acting skills, she and Gong Li, Jin Lili, Shi Ke, Chen Wei are known as the "five golden flowers" of Chinese opera. But "Golden Flower" is not really gold, and it cannot be eaten as a meal. Wu Yujuan has no economy, and her family does not have the strength to support her life, she often lives on bibimbap with chili sauce, and she is dizzy with hunger. In order to be able to support herself, she worked hard to find a way to make money, and took over the filming of "Unforgettable Middle School Years" in her freshman year, although she was well-known in school, but the film received a mediocre response and did not bring any changes to her life. Seeing that the other four "Golden Flowers" had already taken over a good play, Wu Yujuan was so anxious that she couldn't do it. Therefore, in the junior year, a director came to choose someone for the movie "The Price of Madness", and other girls rejected the script because they wanted to shoot nude scenes, and only Wu Yujuan wanted to seize the opportunity. In that relatively conservative era, Wu Yujuan was scolded very badly as soon as the movie "The Price of Madness", which was known as "China's first fully nude picture", was broadcast. But where there is controversy, there is heat, and black and red are also red. In the sound of scolding and saliva, Wu Yujuan won the "Golden Rooster Award" for the movie According to your request, I continued to write the last sentence above, as follows:
Wu Yujuan won the "Golden Rooster Award" for the movie"Hundred Flowers Award"Nominated for Best Actress, finally"Take off and become famous"。
The pinnacle of brilliance.
Wu Yujuan's acting career has been soaring since then, and she has filmed many film and television works one after another, showing her acting skills and charm. She played a lively and lovely female policeman in "Police Officer in the Year of the Dragon", partnered with Andy Lau, and won the love of the audience. She plays two roles in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", namely Yuan Ziyi and Yingu, Yuan Ziyi is the most annoying heroine in Jin Yong**, and Yingu is a kind and beautiful heroine, she successfully created two completely different images, which is breathtaking. She played a woman who was deceived by a man in "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West", and her performance was delicate and moving, which made people feel distressed. She also played Qin Liangyu, the first female general of the Ming Dynasty, in "The Legend of the Ming Heroes", showing the heroism and wisdom of women. Her work has not only been praised domestically, but also internationally recognized, and she has participated in film festivals in Japan, France, and the United States, where she has won many awards. She also became a national first-class actor at the National Theater and was one of the most popular actresses at the time.
Tragic end.
Wu Yujuan's career is booming, but her relationship has not been smooth. She once fell in love with her classmate Jia Hongsheng, and the two were known as the golden boy and girl, but because Jia Hongsheng was addicted to drugs, she had no choice but to break up with him. Later, she married a Chinese-American Li Muhua and gave birth to a son, but because of gossip from the outside world, her husband suspected that her son was Jia Hongsheng's and did not recognize the parent-child relationship, and the two eventually divorced. Her son's background has always been a mystery, some people say he is Jia Hongsheng, some people say he is Li Muhua, and some people say he was adopted by Wu Yujuan. Wu Yujuan never responded positively to this, but silently raised her son, hoping that he could grow up healthily. Wu Yujuan's love life hurt her a lot, and she has never been in love again and has always been single. Her career also went to a low point because of a bad decision. After achieving certain achievements in her career, she wanted to try to be a director herself, so she directed and acted in a movie "Camellia Blossom" and invested her entire net worth. However, because of improper employment and poor production, this movie was unanimously badly praised by the audience and **, and the box office was dismal, causing her to go bankrupt and owe huge debts. In order to pay off her debts, she had to return to the entertainment industry and take over some TV series that were not very outstanding, and her fame was gradually forgotten. Her predecessor, Jia Hongsheng, committed suicide by jumping off a building in 2009 and ending her life, which also hit her hard. Her life can be said to be from brilliant to miserable, from love to loneliness, her life is a legend and a tragedy.
