Chu Lam - "The Queen of Journey to the West" and the tearful love affair with "Tang Tang"

Chu Lam's unrequited love with Tu Thieu Hoa used to be an anecdote that was handed down for decades.

In the beauties of Journey to the West, Chu Lam was voted by many viewers as a beautiful beauty. Chu Lam's dignified, aristocratic, gentle beauty and the emotions and thoughts of the character are delicately expressed through each eye and gesture, making the role of Queen Tay Luong become a classic.

Up to now, although many actors have taken on this role, no one has overcome her "shadow".

Zhou Lin was born in 1952 in Beijing. From a young age, she loved the arts. In 1969, Chu Lam passed the dance department of the Beijing literary troupe. But in 1975, she suddenly changed majors, becoming a chemist of a research institute.

However, his love for art once again came to Zhou Lin in 1980. At that time, Xian Film Studio went to Beijing to find actors for a movie. Chu Lam caught the eye of the director and was chosen to play a beautiful female assistant.

Having loved acting for a long time, she quickly accepted. Because of his first role, Chu Lam went with the crew to Yunnan to film for 8 months.

When she returned, she entered the acting training class of the Beijing Film Academy. After graduating, Chu Lam was assigned to work at Nga Mi film studio and officially entered the acting career from there.

In her career, Chu Lam often plays traditional women, with dignified beauty, gentleness and courtesy. The Queen of the West Liang Kingdom of Journey to the West 1986 is one of her most prominent roles.

The tearful love story with "Tang Tang" became an anecdote for more than 20 years

Chu Lam's unrequited love with Tu Thieu Hoa used to be an anecdote that was handed down for decades.

The story goes that, when they were filming Journey to the West, "Queen of Tay Luong" and "Tang Tang" really fell in love. The closeness when filming as well as living together has pulled Chu Lam and Tu Thieu Hoa closer together. Together they wrote letters, recited poems, went to the mountains to see the ginkgo tree, ... their minds and hearts were extremely compatible.

Unfortunately, at that time, Tu Thieu Hoa was already a married man. The wedding was held 3 days before he followed the crew of Journey to the West. Chu Lam's heart was broken when he heard about this.

When Journey to the West ended, Chu Lam returned to Beijing, burying his unrequited love in his heart. Not long after, Tu Thieu Hoa also parted with the role of Tang Tang to pursue a career in education. Chu Lam and Tu Thieu Hoa's love affair also broke from here. And then, for 20 years, when it comes to Journey to the West, people tell each other about this beautiful but tearful love story. There are even rumors that for many years, although there are countless followers, Chu Lam still decided to "stay" to wait for Tu Thieu Hoa.

However, the truth was revealed when Zhou Lam gave an interview on Suzhou radio and television. She affirmed that she did not have feelings for Tu Thieu Hoa as rumored.

All of these are just stories that are woven and inflated from Chu Lam's words: "Today, when I meet the film crew again, my eyes just want to find a person 20 years apart who doesn't know Ngu ge ge has. how's it goin?".

A Chinese newspaper then "made headlines" as: "Love Tang Tang, Queen of 20 years without marriage", thereby misleading readers.

Chu Lam also shared that the reason she said this was because she was emotional when she recalled the scene many years ago, but if there was really love between the two, how could she dare to express it in front of many people.

Tu Thieu Hoa said: "Chu Lam is my favorite actor for a long time. During the filming of Journey to the West, we coordinated very well and the scene was very smooth. Just because in the movie. There are emotional scenes, the audience accidentally brought the emotions in the movie to real life.

This is also understandable because this sentiment in the movie is really special to leave a deep impression and is what makes people look forward to. In everyday life, our relationship is very close. I really like Chu Lam's acting, I also like her personality. She's a very, very talented person."

Bold scene with "Tang Tang" Tu Thieu Hoa

Because of her beautiful beauty, kind face, bright white skin, Chu Lam was favored by director Duong Khiet for the role of "Queen Nu Nhi Quoc". This role of Chu Lam appeared in episode 16 "Praying through the Nu Nhi Quoc", this is also the most unforgettable and meaningful tribulation for Tang Tang.

Nhi Nhi Quoc or Western Luong Quoc is a country without men, all residents are women, led by a beauty queen who tilts the country. However, this queen fell in love with Tang Tang at first sight.

The hottest scene in "Journey to the West" is the scene between this queen and Tang Tang. Because she was so obsessed with Tang Tang, the queen did not hesitate to give the supreme power, ceding the throne to Tang Tang and she would become the queen.

To make Tang Tang her man, the queen called him to the palace where she was waiting with curtains. Not only that, Queen Tay Luong also used all sweet words, eyes and intimate gestures to hope to receive the harmony of Tang Tang.

In the 80s, such scenes of "close" male and female actors on the screen were not many. However, the film crew "Journey to the West" cleverly put in this daring scene to portray the love that was engraved in the heart of Queen Tay Luong.

Journey to the West in 1986 is a classic and up to the present time has been shown and replayed thousands of times throughout Asian countries. In the movie, the scene of teachers and students Tang Tang in Nu Nhi Quoc is the most expensive movie scene, and at the same time leaves a deep impression on the audience.

The journey in Nu Nhi Quoc is also a rare segment about the love between a man and a woman between Tang Tang (Tu Thieu Hoa) and Queen Nu Nhi Quoc (played by Chu Lam). Also with the affectionate gaze segments when the two looked at each other made people whisper because the two were so beautiful together. Or the segment where Tang Tang turned to look at the Queen before leaving Nu Nhi Quoc with the tormenting sentence: "If only there was an afterlife".
