Character evaluation
Zhang Yu's character has always been a classic in the hearts of the audience. Now, as a producer and actress, she has become a mature, intelligent and charming new woman in the new era. (China news online review)
Zhang Yu's performance in the film "love on Lushan Mountain" is warm but not forced, unrestrained but not artificial, which gives people a sense of freshness and simplicity. In Ba Shan Ye Yu, she plays a female red guard who is deeply poisoned by the ultra left thoughts of the gang of four. She has the evil of "revolutionary general", but she does not completely lose her heart of kindness. Liu Wenying only has one or two lines in the film, and almost all the psychological activities need the actors to show the audience with their looks and actions. Zhang Yu grasped the character's personality characteristics and accurately completed the psychological transformation of the role from evil to good. (Sohu Entertainment review)
