14 Jigong actors in the past and present, You Benchang saw through the red dust and converted to Buddhism, Lü Liangfafu changed his appearance, Guo Degang became a cross-talk master, who performed the best Jigong?

You Benchang: 52 years old to play Ji Gong, in his later years to sell houses, renunciation, loss of family property, life is more exciting than the script.

You Benchang, who was frail and sickly, was once asserted by a monk passing by his doorstep that "if he did not associate with the Buddha, he would not live to be 13 years old."

Or it was also this sentence that touched the hearts of You Benchang's parents, 6-year-old You Benchang was sent by his parents to the mountain to worship Master Xingci as a teacher, and formed a relationship with the Buddha, it is strange to say that since entering the Buddha's door, You Benchang's health has really gotten better, and he is no longer sick all day.

It was also this experience that made You Benchang and the Buddha form a lifelong fate, at the age of 23 was assigned to the Central Drama Theater to start a stage life, 33 years old acting career was forced to terminate, after which he worked as a furnace fitter, went to the countryside to build a house, planted land, and did all the hard work.

In 1984, he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, performing the pantomime "Shower" ushered in a turning point in his career, and at the age of 52, he starred in "Jigong" and became famous overnight.

After that, the film contract continued, but it was rejected by You Benchang one by one, only because he had read a lot of scripts that were not satisfactory, and he did not take these flowing water dramas.

Relying on lao Ben's own investment in the pantomime "Mr. You Dumb Smile" and "Fan Fan", there is little left to lose.

In 2009, he became a monk for the second time, the legal name was "Dingchang", in 2011, he sold his house and made a drama "Master Hongyi", performed three times in the first year, performed seven times in the second year, and finally saw the return of more than 130 performances in the third year, and was still on his favorite stage in the past 90 years.

I remember once you Benchang as a guest of Guo Degang's interview program, Guo Degang asked "I like Jigong very much, I also want to play Jigong, but you see I am so fat, can I act?"

You Benchang asked, "Do you really want to act?" Guo Degang replied affirmatively.

You Benchang said that in fact, before he played JiGong, there was an actor You Guangzhao who had acted, that is, Guo Degang was so fat.

And told Guo Degang, "Don't worry, go and act, Buddha, it is phaseless."

Or it is also You Benchang's mentality and epiphany that made him live Ji Gong, in fact, many actors who later played Ji Gong would have acted better if they had such an epiphany.
