Who is the anecdote fortune teller?
Speaking of Jigong, who is the first actor you think of? Hong Kong famous actor Chen Musheng? Or Stephen Chow, who is good at humor? I'm afraid most of us are the same. The first thing that comes to mind is Mr. Benchang You, an old artist in Chinese mainland.
Benchang You was born in Taizhou, Jiangsu. He is a very famous old artist and a national first-class actor in China. He was born in 1933. When he was a child, his family was superstitious. He once asked Benchang You to tell his fortune. The other party said that Benchang You might not live to be 13 years old. The family is busy asking how to crack it.
The man said that in order to survive this robbery, he must be converted to Buddhism. Worried about Benchang You's safety, his family had to send him to the Fazang Temple in Shanghai when he was 6 years old.
Benchang You studied in primary schools, middle schools and vocational schools in Shanghai and Nanjing, and was later recommended to Nanjing Cultural and Art Troupe because of his outstanding acting talent. After that, by chance, Benchang You was able to enter the Shanghai Theatre Academy to study acting. So, Benchang You started his own performance.
On the stage, Benchang You played many roles. Benchang You has been known to everyone since he starred in eight episodes of TV series "Jigong" from 65438 to 0985. Then, four years later, he starred in four episodes of Shen drama "Jigong Living Buddha" and 1998 starred in 20 episodes of TV series "Jigong Travel Notes". Although Benchang You has also participated in some theatrical performances and appeared in other films and TV programs, his image of helping the public is the most familiar performance.
Once upon a time, Benchang You's Ji Gong is the memory of our generation. Every time it is broadcast, everyone will sit in front of the TV with a bench, and the whole family, old and young, or children, will watch what interesting experiences Kikuji Palace will have today. Benchang You shook a broken fan and chanted: "Wine and meat cross the intestines, Buddha is in the heart", which simply enlivened the public in our minds. The image of Jigong he created is a classic among the classics.
In fact, before becoming famous, Benchang You's acting career was not smooth sailing. As Stephen Chow explained in king of comedy, any talented actor will go through painful polishing before becoming famous. Benchang You has played countless walk-on roles, but every time there is only one line, he will try his best to play it well.
In order to interpret the role, he will ponder it over and over again until he plays his best. It is precisely because of this tireless attitude that Benchang You's grasp and interpretation of the role of Jigong is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he will become famous and become a well-known actor. Zhang Ailing said that she became famous early, but Benchang You was a late bloomer. She was 53 years old when she became famous.
However, today's Benchang You is not greedy for the flashy world, but devotes himself to Buddhism. The reason is still to talk about three strange things when filming Jigong.
The first thing was that a butterfly landed on Benchang You's fan while shooting. Friends who have seen Jigong know that fans are props for Jigong. This butterfly landed on the fan. Benchang You found it and said, "Come here, come here". I didn't expect the butterfly to really come. The camera at the scene recorded this magical scene, which made Benchang You feel very interesting and everyone present felt incredible.
The second thing has to do with the weather. I was going to shoot a scene of a storm. At that time, the crew was too tight to afford, and the effect was not so realistic. At this time, everyone said that it would be nice if it could rain. But the weather is fine and there is no sign of rain at all. But at this moment, the wind and cloud changed suddenly, the sky darkened, and it really rained after a while. Benchang You felt very incredible. Could it be that God is also helping?
The third thing is just the opposite, that is, the stormy days coincided with the shooting time of Wan Li in the clear sky. This time, the weather became better again, and the sun soon hung in the sky, and everyone was very happy.
These three things made Benchang You feel the magic of nature. Later, he devoted himself to Buddhism and sometimes took the stage, but he also advocated that everyone should do more good deeds.
