On a warm April afternoon, the Beijing Film Festival arrived as scheduled, decorating this ancient city with gorgeous splendor
The red carpet was star-studded, and various film and television stars appeared one after another, attracting the attention of countless audiences
However, the appearance of one of the old artists set off a ripple at this moment
Back on April 18, at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Film Festival, Chinese and foreign filmmakers gathered together to celebrate the prosperity of the film industry
At this grand event, more than 370 filmmakers appeared on the red carpet, and they sensed each other's presence in the spring breeze
And among this group of radiant stars, one figure is particularly eye-catching - 91-year-old Mr. You Benchang
You Benchang, a name, carries the precipitation of the years and the glory of his acting career
He used to be the admirable Taoist monk in "Jigong", using a hat, a broken Gaza, and a pair of broken shoes to interpret the supreme goodness of human nature
His acting skills seem to be a call for time again and again, making people feel as if they have seen the passage of time, but they also feel the wisdom and power brought by the years
In that era, Jigong starring him became the most beautiful memory of the post-80s and 90s, and his image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making people's understanding of Jigong more profound
Today, he is 91 years old and can live in peace and enjoy his old age
However, he chose to stick to the cause he loves and bring more classic works to the audience
This year, his role as "Uncle" in the movie "Prosperity" once again shook the hearts of the audience
His performance is like a textbook, teaching us what acting is and what is the power of acting
After watching this movie, the audience was immersed in his performance for a long time, as if the grandfather was right in front of them, talking to them
However, just when people thought that he would slowly retire in the audience's memory, he appeared again at the Beijing International Film Festival, sitting in a wheelchair, and was pushed across the red carpet by Hu Ge
This scene seems to be a scene in the movie again, one old and one young, composing a business legend
Teacher You Benchang is 91 years old, but he is still in good spirits
He was dressed in a black suit and a white hat, and still looked very kind
He interacts with the audience around him, without a bit of old drama bones, only an approachable smile, which makes people feel his kindness and innocence
The reason why You Benchang was able to become a late-blooming actor is inseparable from his love and persistence in his acting career
He converted to Buddhism at the age of six and completely returned to the world at the age of 15, an experience that gave him a deep understanding of the complexity of human nature and the vicissitudes of the world
He has had a hard time in his acting career, playing more than 70 supporting roles for more than 30 years, but he has never given up and always believes that his efforts will pay off
At the time of You Benchang's transfer, when he was 51 years old, he successfully appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and performed a pantomime "Shower" that amazed the audience, telling touching stories with actions
This performance not only won him the applause of the audience, but also made director Zhang Ge see his potential, so he had the classic "Jigong".
The story of You Benchang is not only a history of struggle of an actor, but also a symbol of spirit
He used his life to interpret the power of perseverance and let us see the true meaning of life
His appearance is not only for us to appreciate his performance, but also to let us feel the beauty of human nature and the meaning of life
You Benchang's story is a mirror of the entertainment industry, reflecting the perseverance and struggle of the actors
His success is not accidental, but with his love for acting and unremitting efforts, he has reached today's peak step by step
However, Yau Benchang's story also makes us think about the status and challenges of older actors in the entertainment industry
In an era dominated by young actors, older artists tend to be marginalized and forgotten
However, it is these old artists who have made great contributions to the development of the performing arts industry with their persistence and efforts
Therefore, we should respect and care for these old artists more, and give them more opportunities and space to show their talents
We should cherish every old artist, let their experience and wisdom be passed on, and let their light continue to shine on the stage
At the same time, we should also give young actors more opportunities to learn and grow, so that they can continue to improve and surpass themselves under the example and guidance of old artists
Only in this way can the acting career continue to develop and radiate new vitality and vitality
Back at the Beijing Film Festival, Mr. You Benchang sat in a wheelchair and was pushed across the red carpet by Hu Ge, which touched people deeply
An old artist, a young actor, the interaction between them is not only a simple support, but also a kind of emotional transmission, a kind of spiritual exchange
This spirit is exactly what we need
In this hustle and bustle of the world, we tend to lose ourselves and forget our original intentions
However, when we see the figure of Mr. You Benchang, when we feel his persistence and hard work, we will re-examine ourselves and rethink the meaning of life
Therefore, let us cherish every opportunity, cherish every old artist, let us feel their performances with our hearts, learn from their experience with our hearts, and let us work together to make our acting career more prosperous and our lives better
Finally, let us pay tribute to Mr. You Benchang! He used his life to interpret the spirit of the acting career, and his performance will always remain in our hearts and become the driving force and strength for us to move forward
Let's praise him, cheer for him, and bless him together!
