Who wouldn’t like You Benchang’s drama?
On New Year’s Day, You Benchang, dressed as Jigong, posted a blessing video.
has 35 million likes.
The immortal venerable in our common memory was dressed in rags and acted crazy. As soon as Jigong appeared, it was my brother's "weak time has come, let's pray together."
I even felt that the grievances I had encountered over the years could all be addressed to me. He confided.
is like the uncle he played in "Flowers".
Played "Flowers" for the second time, I hate it.
Growing up, I didn’t have a guide like my uncle. I had to step into the pits of life by myself. I fell in and climbed out, and I was always green.
This is probably the noble person in life. Even if you can't be told in person that you should take shortcuts and become rich, it would be nice if you can talk to him about your concerns.
To be honest, the uncle played by You Benchang became the character I was most looking forward to when watching "Flowers".
has an accent and style, his body is strong and energetic, and his spirit is more brilliant than those of his younger generation.
A financial figure from the old era, proficient in stocks and foreign trade, broke through Tilanqiao Prison, witnessed the ups and downs of the times, and became Abao's leader in the new era.
trains the little guy A Bao step by step into the big guy Mr. Bao.
"If doing business is an art, this person is definitely an old master."
What is an old master?
What young people cannot see, he has already experienced.
Ah Bao, played by Hu Ge, has no roots and only knows how to rush and fight. He thinks that he can get a chance by hitting headlessly. A basin of cold water from his uncle first teaches Ah Bao how to experience meat cutting at a low cost.
The old mage can easily break the knot that young people cannot break.
The chef team of Zhizhenyuan lit a fire in the backyard and put down their picks at the critical moment to make the whole Yellow River Road see the joke of Zhizhenyuan.
For those who A Bao wanted to help, his uncle came forward to support him.
Uncle Ye used his connections and kindness to find a Hong Kong chef to help Zhi Zhen Yuan overcome the crisis.
is calm and strategizing.
When Po does not distinguish between shopping malls and love situations, young people can easily go astray logically, and their rationality has its limits.
Even if my uncle is angry, he must still maintain his dignity and calm down the situation for Po and plan a way out.
has a certain degree of advance and retreat, and his words are sharp and just right.
If the leader is more nagging, he is like a father.
The best teachers know that each person has their own destiny and lets nature take its course. After all, the era of
is not his own, but the Abao's. On the stage, he can only help kick off the process, try, believe, and let go, and the final chapter will be performed by the young people.
retreats when it's time to retreat. He doesn't need juniors who are obedient. He only hopes that young people can walk the road ahead alone.
Looking at the domestic entertainment industry, many people may be able to play a role like this, but only You Benchang can play it to the top. In the first episode of
, Po takes Po to change his look and tone, sends the tailor away, closes the door and turns around, and he is stunned for a second, and a glance lasts for thousands of years.
An old-school character who missed the golden years of his life saw himself in the golden age.
Unwilling to be smoothed away in the past years, the electric light and flint rekindled, as violent as a projectile, piercing the center of the eyebrow, and the character tempered over the years allowed me to quickly regain my composure.
In just a few seconds and with zero lines, the old man's entire life was poured into the hearts of the audience. In the last episode of
, everyone was separated. Everyone chose a different direction and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Uncle turned around, full of relief.
You Benchang is 91 years old this year. He has been playing "Flowers" for 3 years. The play is the accumulation of his 90 years of life.
Wong Kar-wai said that when he first met You Benchang, he heard the old man say that he had seen the red-headed Ah San.
You Benchang has seen both the old and new eras.
Uncle, it’s time for You Benchang to act.
both have a life of serious living but wasted time and lost friends.
Like his uncle, You Benchang has outstanding talent since childhood. He can act in two parts of the plays he watched since he was a child.
God is good for him. He entered a major at the age of 19 and was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy. After graduation, he entered the Central Experimental Theater, the predecessor of the National Theater of China.
For a drama performance of a few minutes, he can read 19 translated versions of the script and figure out the details.
There are no small roles, only small actors. Before
became famous, he persisted with such seriousness for more than 30 years, played 79 supporting roles, and was still playing small roles at the age of 50.
Until the pantomime "Shower" on the Spring Festival Gala, some people couldn't understand it, some laughed at it, and some saw his ability.
Then there is the classic "Ji Gong". You may have seen the story of
.
He knew that he was going to film "Ji Gong" and wanted to act in it, but the media reported that Yan Shunkai wanted to play Jigong, and You Benchang didn't want to fight, thinking that he was not destined to do it.
You must know that when "The True Story of Ah Q" was being prepared, he also applied, but the director chose his own student Yan Shunkai.
Fortunately, later Shanghai TV Station and Hangzhou TV Station invited You Benchang. This version of "Ji Gong" was not the same as the one opened by Yan Shun, so he had the opportunity to appear.
can no longer tell whether Jigong is waiting for him or he is waiting for Jigong.
Half crying and half smiling, he has honed his acting skills for 30 years and reached the top in one step.
Perhaps the positioning of top-tier products is inappropriate, like glass fireworks, they are gorgeous but do not last long, and are fragile.
Only acting skills can last long.
In order to act like Jigong, You Benchang cut and poked the new costume here and there, making it tattered, giving it the appearance we see.
Having said that, it is easy to pretend to be superficial, but difficult to pretend to be spiritual.
When You Benchang looked at his Jigong at first, he always felt that something was missing. When filming the third episode, during a break between filming, the staff shouted to start filming.
You Benchang immediately got up and hurried forward dragging his shoes that didn't fit his feet. He found the feeling after procrastinating.
He understands Jigong.
There is a scene in the play where Jigong grabs the steamed buns and leaves five black marks, then takes them and leaves.
You Benchang felt that it couldn't be acted like this and Jigong couldn't rip him off, so he suggested to the director to add a scene, turned around and threw two copper coins.
In order to perform the crazy, angry and slapped scenes, he went through 12 times.
Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the scene makes the childhood audience greedy. In fact, the meat in the mouth has deteriorated and smelled.
To be honest, if an adult audience is asked what kind of image Jigong is.
may only have You Benchang in his mind. In
's TV memory, he learned justice from cartoons, chivalry from action movies, and the cause of good and evil to be a good person was taught by "Ji Gong".
The ancient well of Jingci Temple transports wood, punishes bullies and picks up drunken plum blossom legs... After reading this, children will understand that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.
Later, You Benchang became popular all over the country.
He didn't want to take on roles in batches, so he was labeled as a big star.
During the years when his career was booming, he chose to accompany his wife who was suffering from cancer.
came back with nothing to film. He spent his own money to film dramas and form an art troupe, and almost lost all the money from selling his house.
Others said he was not smart, so he laughed loudly: "Anyway, the house was given by 'Jigong'."
You Benchang, who has lost his family fortune, is more like Li Xiuyuan who has no worries.
In recent years, artificial stories about him have often spread on the Internet, such as "bankruptcy in his later years" and "living in a nursing home and living a miserable life"...
You Benchang turned these rumors into jokes.
be happy and that's it.
In the popular context, his optimism is described as "Buddha-nature" and has the appearance of Buddha.
Guo Degang has talked about the novel "The Biography of Jigong", and he also wants to play Jigong. I would like to ask You Benchang how to play it. After all, no Jigong could be so fat.
You Benchang said, just let go. Bodhisattvas are formless.
In "Young Song Xing", You Benchang's line is "Hanshui Temple is just your temporary habitat", he changed "temporary" to "temporary", and "the remaining road" to "the road ahead". You have to go on by yourself."
The more you taste, the better it tastes.
The so-called "Buddha nature" is a kind of kindness and an open-mindedness.
has been serious and open-minded all his life.
At an awards ceremony, when You Benchang took the stage, the audience stood up and expressed the highest respect.
Everyone in the audience grew up watching his "Ji Gong", and perhaps learned kindness from his Jigong.
Wong Kar-wai is lucky to have such a number one figure in the domestic entertainment industry.
