When speaking
You Benchang said: "I'm so happy!"
Let the guests and the audience burst into tears instantly
You Benchang sighed: "For me
This honor will be a mirror for me
Faced with it, I have to ask myself
Am I enough for lifelong achievement?
Am I doing my duty? What is not enough?
I've been in this life
Live to be old, learn to be old, and work until you are old"
At the age of 87, he met "Flowers"
"You can imagine my feelings!"
You Benchang said that he has been yearning for movies and likes movies since he was a child
But until the 80s
I didn't have a chance to actually play the last one
The day I accepted the invitation of Wong Kar-wai to direct "Flowers".
It was his 87th birthday
"You can imagine my feelings!"
learned about the uncle and the protagonist Po in the play
After the relationship between father and friend
You Benchang realized that this character was not light
So, based on my own understanding of Shanghai
and the interpretation of the experiences of characters such as Po
Plus your own imagination
He thought it in his mind
"What kind of person should Uncle be?
What was his experience?"
During the shooting
You Benchang has always maintained a high level of enthusiasm and focus
Contributed many "textbook-style" performance scenes
You Benchang's dedication also moved the young actors in the crew
For example, between shooting, You Benchang could have returned to the car to rest
But he wouldn't leave
sat directly on the apple box on the set
Because "after walking the 'field', it will be dispersed, and you have to concentrate"
When "Flowers" was broadcast, You Benchang was 90 years old
Everyone said that this drama was for him
It's quite a challenge
But he doesn't think so
"It's not a challenge, it's a fate
I'm going to move forward with the young actors!"
"Play small roles as big roles
Take the trick as the protagonist and work hard"
In 1956, You Benchang graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy
Enter the Central Experimental Theater
(now the National Theatre of China).
You Benchang who has just entered the theater
There was no chance of playing the leading role
He was given small roles
Some don't even have lines
"It's like it's served
I'm not the elbow, and I'm not the yellow croaker
I'm the condiment."
Even when the "condiment"
You Benchang is still happy
Adhering to the principle of "no small roles
Only small actors".
Carefully polishing these "condiment" roles
"Play small roles as big roles
Take the trick as the protagonist and work hard"
One performance is 20 years
In 1984, You Benchang brought the pantomime "Shower"
appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala
"I don't have any special training in pantomime
But that's the basics of acting."
To this day, the action performed at that time
You Benchang can still come easily
Excellent performance at the Spring Festival Gala
Let You Benchang shine
Soon, he was invited to play the role of Jigong
After much hesitation, he took the play
"The shoes are torn, the hat is torn, the robe on the body is torn......"
After the TV series "Jigong" was broadcast, it became popular all over the country
You Benchang's vivid performance
It has also become an indelible memory for a generation of TV viewers
Recipient of "Lifetime Achievement Artist"
He called on his young friends to work together
"I thought about it for a moment
I should be grateful for China's radio and television industry."
After winning the CMG's 2nd Annual Chinese TV Drama Ceremony
"Lifetime Achievement Artist" honor
You Benchang said
Before the age of 50
You Benchang spent a lot of time playing supporting roles on the drama stage
"At a time when my fate was passive
I've had a stretch in my radio and television career
So how can I not be grateful to the broadcast system
Accept me."
As an actor
You Benchang hopes that the audience will like the characters he has created
He called on the young people to work together
"As long as you move forward, you will definitely be seen!"
