Why did Jigong become a monk?

1985, Benchang You filmed the Jigong fire, but after becoming famous, he decided to become a monk and convert to Buddhism. Because when he was filming Jigong, three "strange things" happened! ?

At the age of 6, Benchang You had an indissoluble bond with Buddhism. 1933, he was born in an ordinary family in Taizhou, Jiangsu. There are six children in this family. He is an only child, so his parents have spoiled him since childhood. When Benchang You was 6 years old, a fortune teller came to the door and wanted to beg for food. Benchang You's mother is very kind, so she gave the fortune teller a bowl of rice.

After dinner, the fortune teller suddenly pointed to Benchang You and said, "You are a poor child. I don't think he will live beyond thirteen. " Benchang You's parents were surprised and asked, "Master, what should we do?" ? Is there any way to fix it? "The fortune teller said," Your parents are kind-hearted, so I will help you this time. There are ways to save you, but it depends on whether you are willing to give up. "

Benchang You's parents quickly said, "Please give me some advice." The fortune teller pointed to the southeast and said, "There is a Buddhist temple over there. You child, only by practicing in the Buddhist temple and accumulating merits can you survive the catastrophe of 13 years old. I'll send you another statue of Jigong, which you can keep at home and offer day and night. " So Benchang You's parents sent their 6-year-old child to Fazang Temple, where Benchang You stayed until he was 13 years old.

Benchang You, who grew up playing Jigong, became an actor at the age of 52. Many netizens remembered him because of the role of Jigong. As a matter of fact, before filming Ji Gong, Benchang You had been a walk-on in the circle. He ran 79 walk-ons, and it was not until he was 52 that he ushered in the role of Jigong.

While filming Ji Gong, Benchang You encountered three "strange things": there was an outdoor scene. When filming, a butterfly is flying around, but it is not stable. Unexpectedly, Benchang You fanned it twice with a broken fan, and then said, "Fly over, fly over." As a result, the butterfly really stopped in his hand.

There is also a scene in which the crew is busy looking for a blower because of the limited conditions of the crew to create an atmosphere of whistling wind. As a result, suddenly, there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder. The crew hastily set up the machine and the actors took the stage to shoot this precious scene. As a result, the wind and lightning disappeared as soon as the play was over. On another occasion, it rained continuously for several days, and the director was very depressed. Benchang You went out of the house, looked at it and said, "Xiaoyu, it doesn't matter, shoot." So the rain stopped directly.

In his later years, the drama "Being a Monk" became popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast, which was inseparable from Benchang You's wonderful performance. After many years, when it comes to the role of "Jigong", Benchang You comes to mind first, which shows the charm of this classic work. These three things, I don't know if they are coincidences, have strengthened Benchang You's determination to become a monk. Now, he is 88 years old, not only in good health, but also in a particularly good mental state.
