What about Benchang You, who has been a supporting actor for 30 years and became popular at the age of 52 with Ji Gong?

"The shoes are worn out, the hat is worn out, the cassock is worn out ..." Whenever the familiar background music plays, the image of "Jigong", a sloppy monk who punishes evil and promotes good, is printed in my mind. Speaking of the role of Jigong, I believe you will think of Benchang You. A broken fan and a broken cassock, he created this irreplaceable screen classic image.

Now, as a national first-class actor, why did Mr. Benchang You disappear after the explosion and fire? Record the imprint of the times, recall the classic moments and taste life. In this issue, Ziya children's interesting romantic figures will show you the rough life of Teacher Benchang You.

Since childhood, Benchang You was born in Taizhou, Jiangsu from 65438 to 0933. As the only child in the family, his children are loved by parents and relatives. However, Benchang You was born sickly, and there are rumors that he probably won't live to be 13 years old, and only by being fostered in a temple can he be safe. In order to make their children's health better, the parents of tourists are full of sadness and send their 6-year-old children to Fazang Temple to become lay disciples. In this way, Benchang You's life and the Buddha forged an indissoluble bond.

Benchang You, who grew up in a temple, has his own hobby after school, that is, going to a roadside teahouse to listen to storytelling. At that time, the famous Suzhou critic Shen Xiaomei lived in the Shanghai Teahouse. Every story of his can easily arouse all the emotions of this little fan and make Benchang You yearn for the real picture.

In telling stories day after day, the seeds of art began to sprout slowly in his heart. When he was in primary and secondary schools, he always actively showed himself in class and actively signed up for various cultural performances. As a student, he began to indulge in cultural activities.

During high school, Benchang You often appeared on the school stage. With his outstanding talent and hard-working attitude, he gradually mastered the skills of drama and drama through experience. After graduating from high school, he was recommended by Shanghai Federation of Literary and Art Circles to work in Nanjing Federation of Literary and Art Circles with excellent performance and rich performance experience. Shortly after work, the self-motivated Benchang You was successfully admitted to Shanghai Theatre Academy for further study.

1956, after a systematic and comprehensive study, Benchang You graduated directly with the first place in his major, and was directly assigned to the Central Experimental Theatre to become a drama actor, thus providing an "iron rice bowl" for the government.

At that time, the Central Experimental Theatre was directly under the Ministry of Culture and was a national art troupe. According to common sense, Benchang You, who has excellent acting skills, should have soared here and become a well-known old artist in China. Why did he start an unknown supporting role journey?

In the 1960s, aesthetics was more inclined to chiseled tough guys, such as Rainbow Xingang and Shichang Da, who were popular among thousands of girls. However, young Benchang You is a sunny little suckling dog, which does not meet the mainstream aesthetic requirements. What's more, the national repertory theatre was full of talents, and young actors came in one after another. He was soon submerged in the drama stage and played some insignificant roles.

However, Mr Benchang You loves the performance industry. Even in bit part, he still tries to figure out the inner feelings of the characters, understands every little detail and tries his best to interpret the characters. After work, he never forgets to make progress, and often gives literary guidance to train students to exercise themselves.

The turning point appeared in the early 1980s, when western pantomime was gradually introduced into China. This kind of drama, which mainly relies on physical expression to interpret the character characteristics, deeply attracted him, and master Chaplin's wonderful performance shocked him even more. Since then, the opera fan has once again been addicted to this new drama and started a new round of study.

After three years of intensive study, Benchang You has confidence in his performance. After practice and careful preparation, he began his first pantomime performance in Shanghai Social Welfare Hospital. More than a dozen performances exhausted all his energy. Sweat soaked his clothes layer by layer, but he also received warm cheers for him.

This successful performance made Benchang You full of confidence in his performance, so he began to contact the Shanghai Theatre, hoping to arrange a performance for his pantomime. In this way, one pantomime after another entered the Shanghai Theatre, walked in front of the Shanghai people and attracted the attention of the directors of the Spring Festival Evening.

At the age of 52, he became popular with Ji Gong. 1984, Benchang You was invited to perform the pantomime "Shower" at the Spring Festival Gala, which made countless TV viewers shine at the moment. After the wonderful performance in the Spring Festival Evening, Mr. Benchang You, who has profound theatrical skills and excellent acting skills, finally got his first protagonist invitation-a living Buddha to help the public.

After 30 years of polishing, the first play of that year performed nearly 80 walk-ons, and the technology was very mature. But when I really got the role, I was not proud. Instead, I sincerely told the director that I may not play well, but I will try my best to do better. It turns out that the first half of the sentence may be too modest, but the second half actually accomplished the task.

In order to better understand the feeling of helping the public, Benchang You often sleeps only four hours a day. Even in order to better fit the role, he set up his own props such as shoes and broken hats, so as to achieve the state that the palace is like me and I am like the palace, and integrate with the role.

At that time, Benchang You was over 50 years old, but he made every scene by himself. For a perfect performance, he personally went into battle, was beaten by the chief officer for more than a dozen times, and even fell directly from a place two or three meters high. In order to be realistic, he once ate stinky braised pork with relish. In this way, after the meticulous work of the whole crew, it took eight months to shoot eight episodes of TV series.

Many things happen. Once the play was broadcast on 1985, it immediately spread all over the country and became the ratings champion of that year. Benchang You's efforts have also paid off and become a classic in the hearts of countless people. Years later, even the "abused" fragments of eating braised pork have become learning materials for students of Beijing Film Academy.

Benchang You, who became famous at the age of 52, was not carried away by these fame and fortune. He rejected countless well-known profit-seekers and still stuck to his bottom line. In acting, he would rather not act, earn less money, and never insult the audience with bad plays. Therefore, Mr. Benchang You, who has worked for many years, has not produced many film and television works even though he is popular all over the country, because he has high standards and strict requirements for himself and his scripts.

Millions of people lost money in pantomime, and their lives should have gone smoothly like running water. Unfortunately, at 199 1, Benchang You's wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Between family and career, he decided to go back to his wife and spend a long treatment plan with her. Shaving chemotherapy, a painful course of treatment, has his meticulous care. Perhaps it is this caring behavior that touched the sky. After years of hard work, Ms. Yang miraculously recovered.

Accompanied by his wife, he went through the life-and-death barrier, and Benchang You saw through everything. After his wife recovered, he pursued his initial heart and made a mime with most of his net worth investment-"Mr. You's Silent Smile". This special form of drama is still too few, and eventually no TV station is willing to buy it, and the loss is as high as millions.

These small setbacks did not knock down the strong old man. In 2009, in order to interpret his role and because of his beliefs, he officially became a monk in Heilongjiang. Soon after, the old man once again perfectly presented the classic image of the master Hong Yi in the play.

Benchang You, what's going on now? Benchang You once wrote a sentence: Remembering the benefits of others is called gratitude. Forgetting others' mistakes is called tolerance. People who know how to be grateful and tolerant will live happily for the rest of their lives. In fact, people should look down on themselves, be less self-centered and be more empathetic in order to be happy. Great heart, great achievement. Today, the 88-year-old Benchang You artist not only occasionally participates in some performances, awards, interviews and other activities, but also plays fashion short video software, which is very handy.

The old man has struggled for art all his life, and has been full of sincerity for art for more than 60 years. Money, fame and fortune have never lost his eyes. For him, these are just accessories in the pursuit of art. Don't forget your active mind, so as to achieve your ultimate goal. He is already an out-and-out artist in the theater.
