Disheveled, wearing a broken hat and holding a broken fan, he staggered and walked. This is the general impression of the image of "Jigong" in people's hearts. Despite his casual appearance, he was in fact a true monk who did good deeds to help others, punishing evil and promoting good.
In the role of Jigong, You Benchang performed it vividly and vividly, which can be called a classic among the classics.
According to legend, during the filming of the actors, many "unexplained" coincidences occurred, which is all the more interesting because science could not explain the reasons for this.
In an interview, Mr. Yu Benchang personally said that he was also very surprised when something happened. However, this bizarre incident did indeed happen as rumored to be.
What incredible events did you experience during the filming?
In 1985, technology was far less advanced than it is now, and the level of science and technology in that era lagged far behind what it is now.
For the crew who filmed "Journey to the West" at the same time, the crew of "Jigong" can be said to be facing many difficulties.
When the crew was making special effects, they not only needed a strong production team, but also needed to overcome the limitations of computer technology, and they had to work hard.
In some simple plots, only earthy methods can be used, such as shooting dislocation, etc.
During the filming of the scene where he poured wine into Jigong's wine jug, Xiao'er had to put all the pots of wine into Jigong's gourd, creating the effect that the gourd would never be satisfied.
To solve this problem, the crew had no choice but to poke a hole in the bottom of the wine gourd to ensure that the wine could flow out continuously.
In the actual shooting, the method of dislocation shooting was used to block this part, and finally presented this plot. It can be said that although the method is a bit old, it is really effective.
However, as a mythological drama, it is obviously not enough to rely on these simple "special effects" shooting. Just when everyone was helpless, the situation took an unexpected turn.
During the filming of the TV series "Silver Pisces", due to the needs of the plot, there was a scene where Jigong prayed for rain for many people, so the crew needed to arrange a scene of heavy rain.
Although the weather forecast at the time did not predict rain, during the days of filming, it did rain. Because of the rain, the crew had to temporarily suspend filming.
It is important to understand that the era and situation at that time required that the filming of film and television works must rely on the natural environment to complete, and there was no artificial rain or high-altitude sprinkling like now.
Even the lighting effects of the shooting scene completely rely on natural light, without the use of any fill lights, let alone post-production or retouching. Therefore, the filming crew had no choice but to wait.
When the crew was chatting with each other, they jokingly suggested that You Benchang might as well go to a nearby temple to worship, saying that it would never rain. And they themselves are waiting in vain.
You Benchang did not refuse, but really went to the temple to worship, although it was just a joke.
The next day it rained unexpectedly, which was unexpected.
On the second day after the temple was finished offering incense and praying for blessings, when the crew was ready to start filming, a deafening thunder suddenly sounded in the clear sky, and soon after, the sky began to rain heavily.
Everyone involved in the shoot was stunned. At the moment when the rain poured, some people even thought that You Benchang might have magical powers.
The rain came as expected, as the legend goes, because he sincerely prayed to the heavens and won the people the hope they had been longing for.
The powerful ability of "Jigong" was fully demonstrated in this scene, and it also won everyone's appreciation for You Benchang.
This did not happen by chance, but was frequent in some of the following shoots. In addition to "begging for rain and getting rain", there is also "thinking about the sunny and getting sunny".
In one of the filming scenes, the crew needed to capture a sunny day, but it happened to be cloudy. When shooting other character shots, the sky was always overcast.
The sky was overcast and cloudy, as if a faint sign of impending rain. It can be said that there is not even a hint of the sun showing up.
The director is hesitant to cancel today's shooting.
When Mr. Yau put on his clothes and prepared to shoot, surprisingly, the sky immediately cleared.
The dark clouds dissipated and the sun shone brightly on the land, making it unforgettable.
Mr. You Benchang has become a "mascot", thanks to the "magical" change of the weather.
Some people may think that this is just a coincidence, but in the eyes of all the members of the crew, these are no longer simple coincidences, but a special connection.
He became a source of hope and good fortune for the crew, and everyone believed that he must have some special strength in him.
His words are capable of changing the weather and are even understood and utilized by animals.
When Jigong took two people out to shoot the location, a white butterfly quietly flew in front of Mr. You Benchang.
When Mr. You saw this scene, he immediately became excited and began to improvise. Jigong wore a shabby robe and held a fan in his hand, and staggered forward, and the scene was very vivid.
He stretched out the fan in his hand, opened it flat, and gently leaned over to the flying butterfly and shouted, "Fly to me!".Fly to me!”
The white butterfly seemed to grasp his words, fluttered lightly, and finally landed gracefully on the fan, as if in response to his call.
Everyone present was stunned by this scene, and did not even dare to speak, for fear that the slightest sound would scare the butterfly away.
The camera recorded this scene, and when the shooting was over, "Jigong" gently waved the fan and whispered "Go, go". The white butterfly flew away obediently.
At the time, the audience thought that the special effects in this TV series were made by computers, but who would have thought that these scenes were actually real.
All those who have experienced this drama know that the most exciting part of the whole drama is the confrontation scene between "Jigong" and the bad guy Heifeng Daochang.
During the filming of this part, the director thought that this was an important scene in the battle between good and evil, and it was necessary to create a tense atmosphere.
If the wind is strong and the trees are swaying, there will be a great shot.
However, according to the local weather forecast, the local weather will continue to enjoy sunny and sunny weather for the next half month. It is impossible to want to have strong winds.
As a last resort, the director can only consider relying on external forces to achieve this effect. Despite the best efforts of the directorial team, in the end they managed to borrow one of the biggest blowers.
However, when the blower was activated, it was a big disappointment.
This blower, even the largest, is useless, and it can't blow even a leaf on the trees. It can only blow small things around it.
The director and the actor of "Jigong" Yu Ben Changdu are anxious and uneasy, hoping to usher in a strong wind at the moment of filming. Teacher You prayed silently in his heart, hoping that a strong wind would come back.
When they were ready, "Jigong" and the Black Wind Dao Commander came to the scene.
As soon as they stood in their respective positions, the wind suddenly rose in the otherwise sunny weather to help them.
The two men are engaged in a fierce duel, and the wind howls and rustles the leaves.
The atmosphere was created just right, and it was precisely because of this "timely wind" that the perfect picture was captured.
Because of the appearance of this storm, Jigong became famous all over the world.
Due to the interweaving of multiple coincidences, such a highly praised divine drama was created.
Excellent works are inseparable from a gripping storyline, and excellent performances by actors.
The drama "Jigong" does not simply tell a series of unrelated stories, in fact, each story conveys kindness, teaches people to have good thoughts and actively do good.
The character of "Jigong" represents a very different image from the image of the holy monk in people's impressions, he wears a shabby robe, holds a tattered fan, and the whole image looks a little sloppy.
Unlike the monks of other temples, Jigong did not spend his days reciting scriptures, eating fasting and worshipping Buddhas, but wandered among the common people all day long, enjoying meat and wine.
He is considered to be the ** because of the image of the "wine and meat monk", but he doesn't care about it, "The wine and meat have been in the belly, and the Buddha has kept it in his heart." This situation has caused many people to misunderstand him.
Although there were accusations that he did not respect the Buddha and considered him unlearned. Yet, he has been helping the people everywhere and doing good deeds everywhere.
Jigong did his best to help reunite father and daughter. He rescued the woman who had been kidnapped by the wicked and reunited her with her husband. At the same time, he helped a kind old woman who was blind to regain her sight. No matter what kind of injustice is encountered, Jigong will lend a hand.
Selflessly helping others, selfless dedication, and never expecting anything in return. He always tried his best and didn't care about his own situation. Even if he is targeted by the bad guys, he will not back down.
In the process of interpreting "Jigong", You Benchang showed a very dedicated and serious attitude.
In order to create an image of Jigong that is different from other monk masters, it is planned to shoot a plot of Jigong eating meat. The crew prepared the ingredients a day in advance.
Due to the extremely hot weather, it was found that the prepared meat had gone bad during the next day's shooting. In order not to affect the filming schedule, director You Benchang chose not to say this.
While filming, he did not hesitate to munch on rotten meat. During the performance, he seemed to eat meat without any problem, and he also showed a very happy appearance.
The shooting results are outstanding. Mr. Yau rushed to the side immediately after the end of the shoot and kept vomiting. It was only then that the crew realized that the meat had gone bad.
Mr. You Benchang's professionalism left a deep impression on everyone.
Mr. You Benchang's dedication and seriousness in acting, it is precisely because of this that he finally created an unforgettable image of "Jigong" and achieved such an excellent and mythical play.
This drama vividly tells the stories that have been passed down among the people in humorous and witty language, and Jigong has become a legend.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a good man named Li Shanran, who is said to have always helped some poor people and was kind and charitable.
When he was over half a hundred years old, he ushered in the good news of a Lin'er and formed a fate with Buddhism. What's even more surprising is that he named his son Xiuyuan. It is said that on the day of Li Xiuyuan's wedding, he suddenly wanted to become a monk in desperation.
The couple was always concerned about their son, but was unable to get up due to a long-term illness. They sent people to search for their son's whereabouts, but unfortunately they could not find him, and he died of illness.
When Li Xiuyuan's name "Daoji" stepped into the house again, earth-shaking changes had already taken place.
Hearing the news of his parents' death was a huge blow to him and sent him into a state of madness. Subsequently, he became a monk who did good deeds all day long.

Teacher You Benchang starred in Jigong, and he has been associated with Buddha since he was a child. When he was young, a high monk told him that if he did not become attached to the Buddha in the future, he might not live to be 13 years old.
You Benchang's father didn't take this to heart at first, but as You Benchang grew up, his father began to dream frequently and recall the past.

After filming "Jigong", You Benchang gradually realized the fate of the Buddha, and even went to visit the master of Chinese studies to develop knowledge about Buddhism.
In 2009, he decided to become a monk, and he went further in exploring the emotional experience brought by art and words.
As the saying goes: the end of science is metaphysics.
What is the importance of the truth of these phenomena that cannot be explained by science?In the process of inheriting the excellent Chinese tradition, there are many excellent things that are worthy of our serious study and Xi.
In the new era, we should believe in science and promote the development of technology. We don't have to be too obsessed with the mysterious, we just need to be in awe all the time.
