Benchang You, who became famous for Ji Gong, encountered three "strange things" in the filming process. What strange things are they?

Benchang You met three strange things when he starred in Ji Gong. Even though the TV series "Jigong" was a hit, he still found the Three Monsters incredible. He became a monk at the age of 76 and converted to Buddhism.

During the filming of Jigong, Benchang You 1933 was born in Taizhou, Jiangsu. There are six sisters in his family. He is an only child, and his parents regard him as an eyeball for fear of any accident. 1939, a hungry monk fainted in front of his house. In return, his mother kindly invited the monk into the house for dinner. The monk gave Benchang You a decree that he was too poor to live beyond thirteen. A bolt from the blue, Benchang You's parents were frightened and asked how to crack it. The monk said: this child is a Buddhist. If he becomes a Buddhist child, he can solve the disaster. Benchang You, 6 years old, was sent to Fazang Temple by his parents, studied under Master Xing Ci, and practiced his dharma name. Seven years later, Benchang You, aged 65,438+03, was seriously ill, but soon recovered. His parents thought that he was predestined friends with Buddha and took him to Shanghai Yuanming Lecture Hall, hoping that he could learn from Master Yuan Ying.

Master Yuan Ying persuaded: Only when you enter the school will you be successful. Benchang You has a bright future after going to school. He rehearsed the drama in his sophomore year, won the first prize in the drama exhibition held in the city, and was received by Premier Zhou. Benchang You was recruited into the Nanjing Art Troupe and then recommended to the Shanghai Theatre Academy. After graduation, he entered the National Theatre. Benchang You suffered from short stature and worked as a walk-on in the theater for more than ten years. With such an optimistic attitude, he played 79 small roles. It was not until the age of 50 that Benchang You's fate changed.

Three strange things happened. At that time, pantomime appeared in China, and Benchang You was interested in pantomime. He read and studied pantomime materials for two years, and then polished it carefully for two years before performing on stage. When the director of the Spring Festival Evening saw Benchang You's pantomime, he stood up and applauded excitedly. 1984, Benchang You boarded the Spring Festival Evening, and his pantomime "Shower" amused the national audience. At the same time ushered in the 80th role: "Jigong". Jigong seems to be tailor-made for Benchang You, and his role in Jigong has become an unsurpassed classic. 1985, the TV series "Jigong" was born, and Benchang You immediately spread all over the country.

Benchang You worked so hard in filming that some people thought that his salary was definitely high, so they had to make it public in the program: every episode 120 yuan. In the last episode, he did well, and the crew felt really embarrassed. They added 30 yuan and changed it to 150 yuan. Such a classic work, Benchang You got the 990 yuan.

From then on, Benchang You wanted to tell the Buddha whether it was fate or coincidence. You Changben also told Lu Yu about three strange things that happened when he patted Ji Gong. One: When shooting the location, there was a butterfly flying around, but it didn't fall. Benchang You fanned twice with a broken fan and said, "Fly over, fly over." God, the butterfly really fell into his palm. This scene became a classic shot in Jigong. Secondly, the scene of Jigong fighting with the Taoist priest with black wind needs the help of strong wind. The crew blew with a blower, only smelling noise, but not seeing the wind. The director was helpless and decided to wait until it was windy. Benchang You looked up at the sky and said, If only there was a gust of wind. Who knows that the voice just fell, suddenly lightning and thunder, and the wind was blowing hard. The crew immediately went into battle, and after the shooting, the weather returned to sunny days.

Third, there is a scene that needs a group performance of three or four hundred people, and it needs to be filmed on a sunny day. Unexpectedly, everyone was here, but it rained heavily. The weather forecast also says it will rain for a few days. This worried the director, but Benchang You came to the shooting scene, even after the rain.

199 1, while preparing to shoot Ji Gong's Travels, his wife Yang was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Benchang You resolutely chose to retire and accompany his wife for anti-cancer treatment. No matter how big or small, she does it herself. As a result, a miracle happened and Yang successfully defeated cancer. In 2009, 76-year-old Benchang You became a monk in Daguangming Temple in suifenhe city, Heilongjiang Province, and was awarded the legal name "Dingchang". Now, although Benchang You has no energy to make movies, he is still active on social platforms from time to time, interacting with audiences who miss him.
