Zhou Jun, an overseas Chinese girl in romance on lushan mountain, has a special position. She is the daughter of a former Kuomintang general who lives in the United States and occasionally "shows off" her English. At that time, when Zhang Yu was experiencing this role, she could not go to the United States to experience life. She can only watch some imported films and read more translated novels to find some foreigners' living habits and communication methods. This role is far from Zhang Yu because she is not outgoing. She can only experience it by watching American movies and novels again and again. Now it seems that the performance in "The True Face of Lushan Mountain" is a bit superficial, but I did my best at that time. Because no one can guide and command them, they have never been abroad and can only tell the direction. 1980 starred in Romance on Lushan Mountain directed by Huang Zumo, which became an instant hit. I was 23 years old.
It is very difficult to perform the role, but Zhang Yu made full use of the vast world and full freedom provided by the film for the activities of the characters, and with his intelligent talent and humorous temperament, he showed Zhou Yun's lively and romantic character to the fullest. In particular, she accurately grasped that Zhou Yun, as an "overseas child", has a strong sense of freshness and intimacy for every inch of the motherland, and through her eyes and words, she expressed in detail the innocent overseas Chinese girl's passion and crystal-pure true feelings for the motherland and her lover. After the film was released, it won unanimous praise from the audience and film critics.
Zhang Yu's outstanding performance in romance on lushan mountain not only developed and enriched the dramatic image provided by the original script, but also brought vitality and vigor to the whole film. With this film, Zhang Yu won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award.
