Zhang Zhiyun China was the first winner in modern history. Why was her life miserable and miserable in her later years?

Ruan Lingyu, the winner of Shanghai Beach, mentioned Tang Jishan, a wealthy businessman who lives with her. Before pursuing Ruan Lingyu, Tang Jishan actually lived with Zhang Zhiyun, another film-winning actress. Tang Jishan's empathy was only lightly touched by Zhang Zhiyun, the "victim". Therefore, this time I want to talk about Zhang Zhiyun, who is the first movie queen in China.

Zhang Zhiyun, formerly known as Zhang Axi, is a native of Panyu, Guangdong province, and moved to Shanghai as a child. His father died in his early years, and his family was in difficulties. He dropped out of junior high school before finishing school, and all his life was taken care of by his adoptive mother. In fact, many people think that the first movie queen in China was Hu Die. In fact, before her, Zhang Zhiyun was already a movie queen. From the perspective of modern people, Zhang Zhiyun's appearance is not good-looking, but like Ruan Lingyu, she has some melancholy between her eyebrows. Zhang Zhiyun was finally excavated by Greater China Film Company because the photos were stolen. In 1924, Greater China advertised for actors, and received nearly 1, photos of women through the mailbox of the declaration hall. But so many photos have not been chosen. Just as the director was worried, I heard that before unpacking the box, the newspaper people had taken the beautiful photos privately. So, the director came forward to negotiate with the newspaper office and asked for those photos. Zhang Zhiyun's photo is among them.

It is understood that Zhang Zhiyun's photos in Yunyun are actually not beautiful, but they are precious because they are recovered. So Zhang Zhiyun embarked on the road of film. Zhang Zhiyun doesn't have much culture, and she can only speak Cantonese. Fortunately, in her era, it was the silent film era, and the language could deceive others. Zhang Zhiyun has a good personality, is willing to work hard and is modest and eager to learn. Film companies are willing to praise her. In 1926, the selection of the film queen was held. Among the 12 actresses selected, Zhang Zhiyun was elected with 2146 votes, becoming the first film queen in China. After Zhang Zhiyun made his mark in Greater China, he was hired by a star company to star in Poor Daughter, Newcomer's Family, Empty Valley Orchid and so on.

An ordinary woman suddenly becomes a dazzling red star, and there are naturally men who help her behind her. Wancang Bu is one of them. When filming in Zhang Zhiyun, Wancang Bu was a photographer. He was personable and could also make Zhang Zhiyun's screen image beautiful. Soon the two lived together. Later, Wancang Bu was promoted to be a director, and Zhang Zhiyun was the heroine in the play. In the film "Jade Clean and Ice Clear", Zhang Zhiyun played a country girl, who was lively and naive, heartbroken after falling out of love, sincere and moving, and was called the "tragic master".

After the successful filming of Jade Clean and Ice Clear, Zhang Zhiyun was frequently taken to various social places to make friends with dignitaries. At this time, Zhang Zhiyun is no longer the one she was before she became famous. The honor came too early, and the sense of floating brought Zhang Zhiyun into another world and drifted away from Wancang Bu. Wancang Bu was finally rejected by Zhang Zhiyun, and they broke up.

At this time, Tang Jishan, a famous businessman in Southeast Asia, took advantage of it. Tang Jishan loves to play with women. He has a wife in his hometown. Because of her power, he dare not divorce. Zhang Zhiyun knows this, but she is so red that she doesn't think in pessimism. At first, Tang Jishan treated her well and took her around Europe. Tang Jishan brought her to Hollywood, hoping that she could make a fortune by acting as a movie queen, but Hollywood didn't take a fancy to Zhang Zhiyun at all. Zhang Zhiyun and Tang Jishan spent two years together, and the film changed from silent film to audio film. Ruan Lingyu and Hu Die began to become new idols, and Zhang Zhiyun was gradually forgotten. And later, Tang Jishan moved on to Ruan Lingyu. At this time, Zhang Zhiyun's good days were over.

Zhang Zhiyun was abandoned by Tang Jishan and got no benefits. When they were living together, they had signed a contract, which read: If Tang Jishan abandoned Zhang Zhiyun, he should pay Zhang Zhiyun 2, yuan. Each party holds one for proof. But the one in Zhang Zhiyun's hand was destroyed by Tang Jishan, so there would be no compensation. Zhang Zhiyun was devastated by the double blow of career and emotion. She spent all her savings and moved to many cities. It is said that she was once reduced to * * *. In the early 195s, Zhang Zhiyun settled in Hong Kong, and once returned to shoot Beauty in Paradise. She faded out of public view in her later years, and it is said that her life was difficult and she died in the mid-197s.

China's first film queen was miserable in her later years, which made people feel sad. In fact, Wancang Bu loved her so much that she didn't let anyone mention her for a long time after breaking up. Once on the set, I was so sad that I lost my temper on the spot. This is another story.
