Then again, You Benchang has not been publicly banned, he just has his own principles of filming. Even after becoming popular, he did not hit more dramas while it was hot, but was more quiet for more than ten years.
A TV series of that year, "Jigong", was so popular, one song: "Shoes are broken, hats are broken, and robes are torn!" Nowadays, I can still hum a few words in retrospect, and You Benchang has also entered the audience's field of vision with this drama and has become a recognized old artist.
Perhaps, many people do not understand that You Benchang has hardly filmed in the twenty years after he became popular with "Jigong", and it was not until 2000 that he appeared on the screen again in many dramas. From this, there is also the idea of being banned.
Born in 1933, You Benchang graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, and after graduating from university, he was assigned to the Central Experimental Drama Theatre as an actor. From 1956 to the 1980s, You Benchang worked as an actor in the drama theater, and at that time he was not famous, almost no one could be said to know.
Until 1985, he starred in a TV series "Jigong", in which the sloppy image and unique acting left a deep impression on the audience and became an indelible memory of countless people's childhood.
As a result, You Benchang was also popular throughout the country and was once known as "Living Jigong", and at that time, he also won the "Best Actor" award of the TV Golden Eagle Award, the audience's favorite TV actor award, and so on.
After becoming popular, you Benchang of course, many directors will look for him to shoot scenes, and You Benchang is a very low-key person, and he also has certain principles for filming, some of the script itself, You Benchang will of course make some choices, so it is really difficult to do both.
Another reason is that his wife is said to have fallen ill at the time and her daughter was facing the college entrance examination in high school. You Benchang has to take care of his wife at home, but also to care about his daughter's studies, at this time he has no intention of filming.
Besides, You Benchang was already 52 years old when he became popular, and filming at such an age will naturally not be particularly much. In the face of numerous filming invitations, You Benchang had to politely refuse. Although You Benchang has his own difficulties, the inviting party must be able to understand.
Over time, the number of times he refused to act has increased, and fewer people have invited him to shoot. Under such a scenario, You Benchang has hardly filmed any drama for more than ten years. Indirectly, it gives people the illusion of being "banned".
For the importance of the script, at that time he refused to act in a lot of "garbage" script roles, and he also wanted to return to his own drama performance, but in the end it was still difficult to get rid of the limitations of the role.
So in 1994, You Benchang simply established the "Beijing Benchang Art Communication Center", when he produced, directed and starred in a 20-episode TV series "Jigong Travels", which was also very exciting.
I believe that many viewers know the "Jigong", but also know him in this drama, after all, the "Jigong" starring You Benchang was only eight episodes, and how many viewers watched it was not enough to enjoy it.
The release of "Jigong Travels" once again ignited the audience's enthusiasm for the pursuit of "Jigong". Nearly ten years have passed, the Jigong played by You Benchang is still loved, the response is very good, and You Benchang's "Jigong" image seems to be more in-depth.
Although the image of "Jigong" made You Benchang popular, You Benchang also hopes to let the audience see more of his other wonderful roles. At the beginning of this century, You Benchang has comeback to appear in many dramas, such as Taishang Laojun in "Baolian Lantern", Lao Huaqiao in "New Era Police", alchemy master in "Painted Skin 2" and other roles, all of which have left a good impression on the audience.
It's just that although these roles are good, they still can't stand up to his image of "Jigong" in the end. In fact, You Benchang's role as a "Jigong" is enough for him to eat for a lifetime, but he still made a lot of challenges.
In fact, after the screen was later re-screened, he also starred in many roles of Jigong, such as "Ancient Temple Storm" and "Tea Also Has The Way", but he played the role of Jigong, which is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In recent years, You Benchang has starred in fewer dramas, and in 2009, he also shaved his head and became a monk, and his legal name was Dingchang. However, at the age of 86, he is still active on the screen, often participating in some activities and shooting some videos that convey positive energy. Some time ago, he also participated in the recording of CCTV's "May Day Drama with Drama".
Looking at You Benchang's acting career, it is indeed very touching, and he was already in his fifties when he became popular when he filmed "Jigong". This drama, this role, has long been a classic. Even since then, there have been many actors who have played the role of Ji Gong, but it is difficult to surpass You Benchang's classic.
Therefore, You Benchang was not banned at that time, but his own reasons for the choice of some scripts, and he had faded out of the screen for many years.
