Xuzhou Jigong fortune-telling
The protagonist of the story is a monk-Jigong, whose common name is Li Xiuyuan, who was born in the Southern Song Dynasty. Dressed in shabby clothes and informal, as a monk, he likes wine and meat. His character is also brave and skillful, and his medical skills are superb. In those days, Jigong always helped the poor, gave charity, eliminated violence and protected the people. Many years later, the ragged and crazy old monk Jigong often recited the phrase "wine and meat cross the intestines, and the Buddha pays attention", which made the world remember it vividly.
Today, I'd like to introduce Mr. Benchang You, a famous performing artist in China, who is a classic actor in The Living Buddha of Jigong.
A late bloomer-30 years as a walk-on and 52 years as a celebrity
When it comes to how Mr. Benchang You first played Jigong, we should carefully study and review his life experience.
/kloc-0 In the autumn of 933, Benchang You was born in Hailing District, Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province. He is a famous performing artist in China and has played countless roles in his life. 1985 won the popular film and television award and the golden eagle award for best actor. In the same year, he won the Pacific Cup Young People's Favorite TV Actor Award.
The most famous masterpiece of Mr. Benchang You's life is Ji Gong, which is well-known in China. Besides, there are other film and television works such as The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival and Silent Smile. When Mr Benchang You was born, only the fortune teller told him that there was a catastrophe in his life. If he doesn't solve it, he won't live to 13 years old. For his life and health, his parents sent him to the Fazang Temple in Shanghai to convert to Buddhism when he was six years old, hoping to avoid robbery. Therefore, Mr. Benchang You had an indissoluble bond with Buddhism since he was a child.
It was not until 1939 that Mr Benchang You reached the age of studying that his parents took him back from the temple. Send them to primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools in Shanghai and Nanjing to learn basic cultural knowledge. 1952 successfully entered the performance department of Shanghai Theatre Academy. After graduation, he was assigned to the Central Experimental Theatre as an actor. Mr. Benchang You, who entered the Central Experimental Theatre, has not been excavated. For many years, he can only play a supporting role and nobody in some famous movies.
According to Mr. Benchang You's recollection many years later, he was basically a walk-on for 30 years. During Mr. Benchang You's precious 30 years, he created 79 film and television characters in public. However, although everyone, Mr. Benchang You, painted sculptures wholeheartedly, he was finally ignored by the audience, because he was a nobody in movies and TV series, and there were not many opportunities for lens and performance.
Mr. Benchang You, who comes from a professional class, has been immersed in the performance and film industry for more than 30 years. Although he worked hard, he was still ignored by the public. In the most precious 30 years of a person's life, then "everyone has left", I think others would have given up their careers long ago.
Mr Benchang You didn't give up easily, but he still stuck to his ideal. Finally, many good things happen. When Mr. Benchang You was middle-aged, he was lucky enough to receive an invitation from director Zhang Ge to shoot the leading role in the drama Jigong.
Mr. Benchang You was 52 years old when he filmed Jigong. People will wonder whether Mr. Benchang You, who has lost his beautiful youth, has lost all kinds of performance breath and vitality and can't show the expression of the hero, and so on.
However, this is not the case. With years of performance knowledge and professional accomplishment, Mr. Benchang You made a clear analysis of the role of Jigong from the inside out. After getting the script, basically, Mr. Benchang You will spend a lot of time studying it. Before shooting, he always has to prepare. When filming, he always looks for someone to analyze and summarize his performance results.
Besides, for professional performance, Mr. Benchang You has a good grasp of the role. Many scenes in Jigong's film and television dramas have been used as teaching materials and teaching videos by famous performance schools. Thanks to the hard work of Mr. Benchang You and the efforts of the crew, this mythical film and television drama is well known to the public and watched repeatedly in China. Finally, it was a great success.
Fate twists and turns-73-year-old ruin, 83-year-old fracture acting
With the role of Jigong, Mr. Benchang You let the people of China know about him, and his years of hard work are hidden behind him. However, Mr. Benchang You is more interested in performing arts, hoping that his performing arts can serve the public, set a good example, set a good image and lead everyone to develop in a better direction.
He resigned, gave up his job in the Central Experimental Theatre and began to develop his own pantomime career. But at that time, many people did not support the development of pantomime, and there were no good investors. So Mr. Wang began to shoot two independent films at his own expense. The first one was the mime "Mr. You Laughed", and then the TV series "Farewell Fan". These two shots made Mr. Benchang You spend all his life savings. Now that he is 73 years old, it is admirable that he can pursue his ideals so bravely and put all his eggs in one basket, regardless of the outcome.
Mr. Benchang You said that gold, silver and money are all things outside the body, so you can't take them when you are born. There is no need to care too much about these things. He filmed these two TV series, and more importantly, he wanted to appeal to everyone to actively pursue their most precious dreams and keep a little kindness and gratitude in their hearts. The most lamentable thing is that in 1987, Mr. Benchang You was invited by Singapore to give a joyful performance to the local people.
The audience in front of the TV was surprised by Mr. Benchang You's wonderful performance. What we didn't know was that Mr. Benchang You, who was laughing, singing and dancing on the stage, had already broken his right heel and didn't receive any dressing treatment. Every performance is like dancing on the tip of a needle. After each performance, 83-year-old Mr Benchang You broke out in a cold sweat with pain.
At that time, Mr. Benchang You endured the pain of fracture and performed 1 1 performance in Singapore. No audience can see the pain suffered by the old artist. The staff looked at such a conscientious old artist and felt extremely admired and distressed.
Mr. Benchang You is a famous performing artist in China.
Compared with the smooth sailing stars now, Mr. Benchang You's life can be described as hardship and sadness. Mr. Benchang You said that it was because of the precipitation and ordinary in the first 30 years that the surprise and extraordinary came later. Such a national treasure artist not only plays a role in movies and TV plays, but also is a source of feeling and understanding for our audience.
