Who would have thought that when You Benchang laughed on the stage, Ma Yili next to him turned his head and cried, and Hu Ge also lost control.
Across the screen, I cried too.
Many netizens saw this scene and left messages saying that they cried.
Why?
Because everyone can tell, "He is not talking about happiness, but sadness."
is a tortuous road to acting. It was not easy to meet director Wong Kar-Wai and "Flowers".
What You Benchang said with a smile also slapped the entertainment industry capital in the face.
You Benchang, everyone remembers his vivid performance of "Living Buddha Jigong" more than 30 years ago, and he has long been included in the teaching materials of the Nortel Performance Department because of his vivid acting skills.
Nowadays, everyone also remembers another role of You Benchang: Uncle Ye in "Flowers".
On the stage of the CCTV Drama Gala Gala, the actors from the "Flowers" crew took the stage. The host asked You Benchang:
(Uncle) What attracted you most to the role of Uncle Ye?
You Benchang burst out laughing after hearing this, and the host next to him also echoed: "You are laughing so happily."
As a result, what You Benchang said next was like a knife, cutting people's hearts:
"I have been yearning for movies since I was a child, and I like movies. When I reached 80, I still couldn't get into it, and I was already desperate. Suddenly someone told me, Director Wong Kar-Wai came to me and said that there was a film for me to play Hu Ge's 'Godfather'. You guys said, you can imagine how I felt..."
You Benchang laughed again after saying this. In the camera, beside him, Ma Yili turned her head and cried.
When I saw this scene, I cried across the screen. In the comments, many netizens also said that they cried after watching it.
Mr. You Benchang is obviously smiling, but why are we all crying?
Because he talked about his experience with a smile, it is actually a cruel current situation in the entertainment industry:
Actors who truly love acting, especially older actors, lack opportunities!
Why?
Because the capital in the entertainment industry cannot see them.
Because, in the entertainment and film and television circles that are driven by business and increasingly focus on resources and connections, youth and traffic are now king, making money comes before artistic creation, and acting has begun to be ranked as a celebrity.
Because they have no traffic, they are old, and they seem to have no commercial value.
Mr. You Benchang, how long has he been burdened with "despair" before he came to director Wong Kar-wai and his "Flowers".
90-year-old You Benchang is now standing in the center of the stage again. He has nothing to scruple about, so he smiles and speaks his true feelings.
After hearing the heartfelt words of Mr. You Benchang, Ma Yili, who has also been in the industry for a long time, had mixed feelings for a while. She could no longer control her emotions. She was infected and heartbroken, and shed tears directly on the stage.
When he heard what Mr. You Benchang said, "A Bao" Hu Ge beside him also lost control of his expression: he couldn't help curling his lips, feeling aggrieved and sad for the old man's experience in his heart, and also directly It's written on his face.
In 2024, the first hit drama will be "Flowers".
In 2024, the first popular actor will be the "uncle" in "Flowers", 90-year-old You Benchang.
Perhaps even Yau Benchang himself and director Wong Kar-wai did not expect that the role of "Uncle", as an elderly actor who has been almost forgotten by the entertainment industry and has been dormant for a long time, can still become famous at the age of 90.
I believe that many people are deeply attracted by Uncle Ye’s words at the beginning of the play, “Shanghai people pay attention to style, gimmicks, and appearances” when doing business, and that a man should have three wallets.
Although Uncle Grandpa is an old man, in Wong Kar-Wai's lens, he is graceful, energetic, and dignified, and his appearance is hidden.
Although you can’t clearly see his eyes hidden behind the lenses, you can still feel the sharpness in his eyes behind the lenses between the flickering of the lens -
The role of Uncle Grandpa is superb, You Benchang’s The acting is truly amazing.
In "Flowers", Yau Ben-chang played the role of the master and Bole behind Po. In reality, this time being selected to film "Flowers", Wong Kar-wai became the Bole behind Yau Ben-chang.
The greatest success of Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" lies in two points: aesthetics and vision.
First, he maintains his consistent excellence in production, extends his filmmaking standards to TV series, and conquers the audience with his craftsmanship and high-end aesthetics.
The second one is the key to success this time: choosing the right actors, doing the right additions, making them come alive in the most appropriate roles, and truly integrating the actors and the characters into one.
It is precisely because of the second point that Wong Kar-Wai chose Mr. Ben Chang, who was nearly 90 years old, to play the role of the "godfather" behind Po at the age of nearly 90. He became the most mysterious, the most aura, the most emphatic in the whole drama, and even He is the most charming man.
was also Wong Kar-Wai's choice, allowing You Benchang to once again become famous as a grandfather at the age of 90. This once again proves:
There are still many good actors in China, but they lack opportunities because they lack the discernment to discover them. There is also a lack of capital to give them opportunities.
Old actors have become popular. This year it is You Benchang, and last year there was another one: Fei Xiang.
Fei Xiang, 62, became famous again because of his role as the villain King Yin Shou in the first part of the movie "Fengshen".
You must know that Fei Xiang became famous as a singer, but later chose to act in stage plays, and then gradually faded out of the lively entertainment circle as he got older.
"Fengshen" is the third movie he has starred in, and two of them were directed by Wu Ershan. The first one was "Painted Skin 2" directed by Wu Ershan.
It was Wu Ershan's unique vision that gave Fei Xiang the opportunity to shine again on the big screen.
So, we see that Fei Xiang is not only an excellent actor, but also a self-disciplined veteran artist. Young people also like and appreciate him, and they call him "Daddy" after the characters in the movie.
Now, after Fei Xiang became famous, he has numerous commercial endorsements. At the age of 62, he has used temperament, cultivation and self-discipline beyond his age to form an irreplaceable charm. It can be said that he is currently the only one in the Chinese entertainment industry.
"Uncle" You Benchang is also the same. He unexpectedly got an opportunity at his advanced age and once again appeared on the screen at the age of 90. He is so charming that nothing can stop him.
They don’t want to be popular, because they have already become popular.
Now, they just want opportunities, they just want to take their acting work seriously, and as a result, they become famous again.
One by one, they slapped the entertainment industry capital in the face.
This is a good thing.
I wish Mr. You Benchang good health and long life, and always smile.
I would also like to thank Ma Yili for her tears. This time, she represents many people.
