When it comes to the classic film and television works of childhood, what do you think? I believe that the first thing that everyone thinks of will be the holiday essential drama "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", or the next rice god drama "Wulin WaiChuan", or the "Journey to the West" that cannot be watched hundreds of times.
However, there is also a TV series, which can also be said to be a classic in the classic, and the interlude in the play has become a classic that everyone sings, and this film and television work is "Jigong". The protagonist of this article is the actor of Ji Gong, the old drama bone you Benchang teacher.
And You Benchang's experience is also very bumpy, he was asserted that he could not live to be thirteen years old, refused to make bad films and was banned, played supporting roles for more than thirty years, until he was in his fifties and became popular with the role of Ji Gong, but in his later years he lost all his family property for filming, and his wife also died of cancer. Today, we will walk into the life of Teacher You Benchang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
In 1933, You Benchang was born in Jiangsu. Although the family conditions are not rich, You Benchang, as the only son in the family, is favored by his parents.
Not long after You Benchang was born, it was predicted that he would not live to be thirteen years old, which also upset You Benchang's parents, so in order to get rid of the obscurity of the child, his parents sent You Benchang, who was only six years old, to a Buddhist master, and this also made You Benchang and "Buddha" married.
Since he was a child, You Benchang liked to listen to Suzhou commentaries, and he was also very interested in acting, so with his talent for acting, he entered the local cultural troupe to study acting.
Later, he was also admitted to the theater with excellent results and studied professional acting. In college, You Benchang showed his innate acting talent, what to act like, and also analyzed the characters by himself, which was also deeply liked by the teachers.
Therefore, when he graduated, You Benchang was directly assigned to the Central Drama Troupe and became a professional drama actor. In the troupe, You Benchang often goes to various places with his colleagues to perform, and although the performance venue is simple, You Benchang still takes every performance seriously.

At that time, in order to be able to stand out, everyone in the troupe tried to seduce the leader in order to have a good role. However, You Benchang is a man of integrity and is more frank and frank in his work, and he never despises to engage in some small actions, so he can only play some small supporting roles.
Although it is only a few small roles, You Benchang will still do his best to interpret each role. At that time, You Benchang also angered the director after rejecting what he thought was a bad film, so he was also banned for a period of time.
Finally, the effort will be rewarded, You Benchang's excellent acting skills were seen by the director of CCTV, so he was invited to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and performed a mime. With his classic performance at the Spring Festival Gala, he was selected to play the role of "Jigong".
In order to interpret the classic character of Hao Jigong, You Benchang began to speculate on the characters for many months before the start of filming, imitating Jigong's smile and designing his own props, such as broken shoes, broken hats, broken fans, and so on.
At the beginning of the shooting, You Benchang was even more conscientious, although he was more than half a hundred years old, but in order to shoot "Jigong", he only slept three or four hours a day. There is a scene of eating meat, although the meat has been put for a long time to change the taste, but after booting, You Benchang still insisted on eating, just to complete the performance.

With the role of JiGong, You Benchang's name is also well known to the audience, and he also ushered in the peak of his career when he was more than half a hundred years old.
However, just when his beloved acting career was on the rise, his wife was found to have cancer, and in order to accompany his wife to take care of his wife, You Benchang gave up his career.
But his wife still failed to survive this pass, and after his wife left, You Benchang was heartbroken and decided to leave the family and take refuge in Buddhism, at this time, he was more than seventy years old.
Although You Benchang converted to Buddhism, he still insisted on the performance he loved, and even sold his only house for performance. You Benchang said that the house cannot follow him for a lifetime, but acting is a lifelong career.
