Preface
The recent discussion of the hit drama "Flowers" has become louder and louder, and while the audience is enjoying the performances of many actors such as Hu Ge, Ma Yili, and Tang Yan, they are pleasantly surprised to find a nostalgic old drama bone.
The Jigong he played has accompanied generations of people, and when it comes to "Jigong", maybe everyone has the answer in their hearts at this time.
In the play, he is a "living Buddha Jigong" who is uneven and warm-hearted, and outside the play, he humbly asks for acting skills and dedicates most of his life to his acting career.
He is Mr. You Benchang, who has been with us!
Looking back on You Benchang's life, he has dedicated himself to acting
On September 16, 1933, You Benchang was born in Hailing District, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province.
Since elementary school, he has studied in schools in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, and because of his excellent performance in high school and his acting talent, he was recommended by the Nanjing Federation of Literary and Art Circles to join the Nanjing Art Troupe.
You Benchang, who was not yet 20 years old, was already the best in his acting talent from this time, so he followed the team to Shanghai East China People's Art Theater as an actor in 1952.
At the same time, he was successfully admitted to the performance department of the Shanghai Theater Academy and graduated from the performance department in 1956.
Later, because of his excellent acting talent, he was assigned to the Central Experimental Theater as a drama actor, and then joined the Chinese Dramatists Association.
In 1981, he played the first leading role in the TV series "Kong Yiji", although before that, he participated in the dramas "When the Maple Leaves Are Red" and "Song of the Great Wind".
But in "Kong Yiji", with his excellent acting skills, He Benchang officially walked in front of the audience.
In the past three years, You Benchang has practiced hard in private Xi repeatedly honed his acting skills, and finally in 1984, he successfully starred in the fairy tale movie ""Next Sailing" Port Travel" with Yu Meng, in which he played the role of "foreign iron man".
This film is based on Yan Wenjing's novel of the same name, which tells the story of a primary school student who does not know how to cherish time and experiences various adventures in the port of "next sailing", and finally realizes the preciousness of time.
In this year, You Benchang also successfully appeared on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and performed a pantomime sketch "Shower" for everyone, in which You Benchang used his flexible body language to make the audience laugh.
What really made him popular was in the mythological comedy "Jigong" directed by Zhang Ge in 1985, playing the role of "Living Buddha Jigong", which also brought him the award of Best Actor at the 4th China TV Golden Eagle Awards.
Up to now, as long as someone mentions the name "Jigong", the first thing that comes to mind is Mr. You Benchang himself, the role played by the teacher is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in the subsequent interview, Mr. You Benchang revealed to everyone that the salary of "Jigong" he participated in at that time was less than 1,000 yuan.
In an interview program, Guo Degang joked with himself: "How do you think I play Jigong?"
Guo Degang and even his own image must not be able to play the role of "Jigong", because in everyone's impression, most of Jigong's image is thin and thin.
Who knew that Teacher You Benchang said with a smile: "Let go of acting, because the Buddha has no appearance." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present praised him for having a mind like the sea.
With the rise of his career, Mr. You Benchang has appeared in more and more works, and he also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again to bring you the sketch "Sun Erniang Opens a Shop".
Later, he starred with Wang Ying in the movie "Gusu A Monster" directed by Sun Qingguo, and participated in the sketch "Emergency" in the Spring Festival Gala in 1988, and starred in the drama film "Fake Emperor" directed by Liu Guoquan with Wu Zhen and Feng Baobao in 95.
Mr. You Benchang has been contributing to film and television works all his life, and he is also known to more people while his career is improving step by step, whether it is Taishang Laojun in "Baolian Lantern", the costume drama "Lifan" directed by himself or the alchemy master in "Painted Skin II".
Live to be old and act until you are old
In the recently popular TV series "Flowers", many netizens were pleasantly surprised to find that Mr. You Benchang is the actor of the "uncle" in the play, this drama is directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Hu Ge, Ma Yili, etc., and the background is in the early nineties of the last century.
The play tells the story of the protagonist "Bao" who climbed up step by step through his years of hard work, and in this era when everyone is competing for the top, Bao is no exception, and finally Bao has become the president of Bao.
In the play, the "uncle" played by Mr. You Benchang and the protagonist Ah Bao are masters and apprentices, and the two of them founded a company in the Peace Hotel together, involving many businesses, including stocks, foreign trade, African department stores and hotel operations.
The two work closely together, in the eyes of outsiders, the company is managed by Bao, but few people know that some things are actually controlled by the uncle, it can be said that the uncle is the person who really supports Bao, and Bao's success is inseparable from the uncle.
In an interview outside the play, Mr. You Benchang said: "Because I have seen the appearance of old Shanghai, I want to use some of the things I have experienced in life to this drama. ”
And the character of the uncle has also made up for everyone, and the shortcomings of Bao's parents are not introduced too much in the drama "Flowers".
During the filming, the 90-year-old teacher You Benchang was often caught in the plot of the play and could not play for a long time, and in "Flowers", when he saw Ah Bao in a suit, he burst into tears, as if he saw himself when he was young.
Then netizens picked up the photos of the teacher when he was young, and everyone was surprised to find that Hu Ge was so similar to him when he was young, and immediately realized the mood of Teacher You Benchang at that time.
He used his performance to impress everyone present, even if he was already old, he was unequivocal about acting, and the teacher studied the character of the character diligently during the filming process, and strived to restore the character setting to the greatest extent.
Some viewers commented: For me, Mr. You Benchang is the biggest surprise in the prosperous drama, even though he is over 90 years old, his lines and acting skills are indeed very eloquent.
