Jigong's upper body fortune telling

"Porridge to the rice to which day? Leather bags are difficult to treat. This body is so ignorant that it reaches the abdomen after entering the throat, and then it is hungry in the blink of an eye. Only stubborn monks, be sure to drink three cups slowly. Wear summer clothes in winter. Although I am ugly, my heart is not lost. " -"Linjiang Xian" Ji Gong.

For the post-80s and post-90s generation, the favorite TV series to watch as a child, besides Journey to the West, is probably Jigong. This crazy monk brought a lot of fun to everyone's childhood, especially the catchy lyrics "Shoes are broken, hats are broken, cassock is broken, you laugh at me, he laughs at me, and a fan is broken." ...

Of course, one of the important reasons why Jigong is so popular with the audience is that the role of Jigong is vividly presented to the audience because of the wonderful performance of Benchang You, the leading role of Jigong. However, many people may not notice that Benchang You was 56 years old when he played Jigong, and his fame was not accidental.

Benchang You was born in 1933. In the past, the older generation believed in fortune telling. A fortune teller once said that he would definitely not live to be thirteen years old, and only by converting to Buddhism could he escape.

In order to prevent accidents, parents sent Benchang You to Shanghai Fazang Temple to learn from Master Bai Xingci, and got his own law number.

However, Benchang You did not become a monk, and has been studying in Shanghai and Nanjing. After graduating from Nanjing Kaobang Primary School, he studied in Nanjing Yuqun Middle School, Commercial Vocational School and Shanghai Lixin Accounting School.

195 1 year, after graduating from high school, Benchang You was recommended to join Nanjing Culture and Art Troupe, and one year later he was transferred to Shanghai East China People's Art Theatre as an actor. Because of his outstanding performance, Benchang You was assigned to the Performance Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy to study, and after graduation, he was assigned to the Central Experimental Theatre as an actor, which officially started his acting career.

At first, Benchang You could only play some walk-on roles or villains. Although he is not very busy at work, he does a lot of short-term jobs and cram schools in his spare time. He is busy every day and his body is getting thinner and thinner. Sometimes I don't have time to shave. I didn't expect it to be in line with the image of Jigong.

1985, Benchang You was chosen to play the role of "Jigong", which is very popular all over the country. He became attached to Buddhism since he was a child. When he was in Suzhou, he often grew up listening to Shen Xiaomei, a storyteller living in the south of the Yangtze River. He is too familiar with the role of Jigong.

After the broadcast of Jigong, Benchang You, who had been a walk-on for 30 years, became an instant hit. Later, in an interview with Benchang You, he said that three strange things happened during the filming, which strengthened his determination to believe in Buddhism.

The first strange thing is that when shooting a scene that needs a storm, because the program group is short of funds, it is ready to wait for a natural rainstorm, but it is difficult to encounter a summer rainstorm at that time. At this time, Benchang You said, if only it could rain earlier. Unexpectedly, it soon became cloudy and it rained heavily.

The second strange thing is also related to the weather, because in the rainy season, heavy rain always keeps falling. But just in time to shoot the clear sky in Wan Li, I dare to add that it would be nice if the weather were fine. Sure enough, within half an hour, the sky cleared up, allowing them to successfully shoot a sunny scene.

The third strange thing is that a butterfly landed on Benchang You's hat during filming. Unexpectedly, Benchang You said on a whim, "Come here, come here", and the butterfly really came by itself. All the people present were amazed and incredible after seeing it. Is it true that Benchang You was reincarnated as Jigong?
