Wong Kar-wai said: "In those days, if a worker wanted to complete a magnificent turn, in addition to diligence and perseverance, he also needed opportunity, luck and nobles. The reason why "Ah Bao" in "Flowers" can become "Mr. Bao" is inseparable from the master "Uncle" behind him. If Hu Ge's Bao is always a legend in Shanghai in the 90s, then the domineering and introverted uncle is the creator of this legend. 
The uncle in the play is proficient in foreign trade and **, and teaches Po that a successful man must have 3 wallets, which are how much money you have, how much money you can mobilize and how much money others think you have. According to his uncle's teachings, Ah Bao quickly earned the first pot of gold in his life, and changed from an ordinary worker to President Bao of Shanghai Tang. Uncle also left a deep impression on the audience. You Benchang, the actor of the uncle in the play, has become popular all over the country with "Jigong", and netizens affectionately call him "Grandpa Jigong". Hu Ge said that it was the luck of his life to be able to become the "proud protégé" of the "Living Buddha Jigong". 0190-year-old starred in "Flowers", netizens: The finishing touch, the sense of security is bursting, as soon as the uncle appeared in "Flowers", he firmly grasped the nerves of the audience. He didn't pretend, he didn't have a background, and when he went to that station, the sense of story exuded by his whole body was enough to make the audience enter the play and make people involuntarily move with him. Uncle Bao is the helmsman behind Mr. Bao, and Mr. Bao will ask him for advice and communicate with him when he makes any decision. 
When Li Li of Zhizhen Garden was bullied by the proprietors of the entire Yellow River Road, it was his uncle who took action and asked his friend for many years to bring a chef from Hong Kong to help, which solved Li Li's urgent need. When Miss Wang of the Foreign Trade Building was maliciously reported and faced a disciplinary crisis, it was also her uncle who stepped out and taught her to write a reflection draft word by word. It seems that there is no trouble that my uncle can't solve. The uncle in the play has a bald head, a cane, and a pair of glasses, and speaks in a loud voice, clear speech, and full of energy. 
Coupled with the amazing acting skills of Grandpa You Benchang, I can't help but be amazed, this ** is 90 years old?Netizens commented: "Uncle" is the finishing touch of "Flowers", and it gives people a full sense of security as soon as it appears. Uncle's "sense of security" is not only reflected in the play, but also gives the opponent actors a full sense of security outside the play. Grandpa You is 90 years old, and like other young actors, he works on the set for nearly 10 hours a day, no matter how cold or hot it is, he always sticks to the set. Sometimes even if there is no role for his uncle, You Benchang will play for Hu Ge outside the court. 
If the director doesn't pass, he will cheer for Hu Ge and encourage him, and if the director passes, he will give Hu Ge a thumbs up. As Hu Ge said: "It's good to have you!."The reason why You Benchang starred in "Flowers" is that in addition to director Wong Kar-wai and starring Hu Ge Sangu Thatched House, the character image of "Uncle" also deeply attracted him. Wong Kar-wai said that when he met Yau Benchang, his first words were: "I have seen the old Shanghai before the liberation." "The character of Uncle has used all of You Benchang's past life experiences and experiences. During the shooting, You Benchang looked at Hu Ge in a suit vest and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. It wasn't until they saw his ** when he was young that everyone reacted, it turned out that Hu Ge was so similar to You Benchang when he was young. 
From Ah Bao played by Hu Ge, You Benchang saw himself. Maybe it was because he remembered his youthful years, he couldn't help crying after the filming and couldn't play for a long time. After the broadcast of "Flowers", people around him asked You Benchang: "How does it feel to watch your own play?"He replied, "Look at it." The people around him asked again: "What do you think of this old man's performance?"He laughed and gave a thumbs up. The hardships and hardships in the real shooting are known only to him. It was very stuffy and hot that day, and it was not easy to play a feeling of being home. Jin Yucheng, the original author of "Flowers", said: "You Benchang represents an old Shanghai, as if he is like a young man, it is Shanghai that is talking to him, not You Benchang." You Benchang fully integrated himself into the "grandfather", who was the legend of Shanghai Tang in the 90s. 02 was born in a class but ran for 30 years, a late bloomer, You Benchang was born in Taizhou, Jiangsu, when he was a child, because his parents listened to "fortune-telling rumors", he was sent to the temple to be a monk, and later returned to the vulgar by chance. 
Due to the influence of his sister, You Benchang fell in love with drama performance, and finally entered the Shanghai Theater Academy for further study. After walking out of the school gate, You Benchang was assigned to the ** Drama Theater, where he spent his long 30-year career. In these 30 years, he has played a total of 79 roles, large and small. At that time, everyone around him called him a "drama nerd", because he didn't care about anything except acting. In You Benchang's eyes, there is no small role. As long as it is the role he plays, he takes it seriously. Even if it was just a serf with a 10-second shot, he spent a lot of time and energy looking up the information and trying to do better. 
After 30 years of running, You Benchang's acting skills have become more and more exquisite. But because he doesn't understand the world and interpersonal contacts, he has never had a good opportunity. When he was finally discovered by "Bole" and invited him to star in "Jigong", he was 52 years old. At the age of 52, an age when he was about to retire, he ushered in the peak of his career. You Benchang relied on "Jigong" to become a god in the first battle, and it became popular all over the country. His Jigong image, half crying, half laughing, with tears in his eyes, moved countless audiences. The performance clip of him eating pork knuckle was included in the performance material by the Beijing Film Academy. In the play, You Benchang took a fragrant pork knuckle and ate it in a big gulp, speaking lines while eating, which was mouth-watering. But the reality is that the pork knuckle is already rotten and smelly. He used practical actions to tell everyone what is an actor's self-cultivation. After the filming of "Jigong" ended, You Benchang was silent for 4 years. At that time, his wife was suffering from cancer, and he put down his work to be by his wife's side and face it with her. 
Fortunately, they successfully fought cancer, and his wife's body gradually recovered. After You Benchang's comeback, his career did not go well, and the scripts that came to him were all comedy roles, funny roles, etc., but he rejected them all. He has his own thoughts about the role, not only "funny", but in the end he had no scenes to film. At the age of 80, You Benchang sold his pension house to start a business and rehearsed the drama "Master Hongyi". 
At the beginning, "Master Hongyi" was not recognized by the market. It only took 2 years for him to lose all his house payment, and the actors who rehearsed had left a lot. It wasn't until the third year that "Master Hongyi" finally had some results, and he performed 120 performances that year, and the venue was full. Grandpa You Benchang's "Master Hongyi" was finally seen by everyone. At the age of 90, You Benchang starred in "Flowers", and he was still active on the front line, playing on the same stage with a group of young actors, and his acting skills were once again godly. Some netizens even said: "Grandpa You's eyes are worth everyone in the play." "For decades, You Benchang has been doing what he loves, and even in the difficult moments of his life, he has never compromised with the outside world. 03 After decades of practice, "guiding people's hearts with literature and art" At the "2023 TV Drama Quality Ceremony", You Benchang won the award of "Quality Master". When giving his acceptance speech, the host asked him if he had anything to say to the young actors. He replied: "Every day, when I look up, there is a plaque with 7 words on it: guide people's hearts with literature and art." When the words fell, everyone at the scene applauded. 
guide people's hearts with literature and art", You Benchang has been practicing these 7 words all his life. On a show, Guo Degang appeared with You Benchang as the image of "Jigong", and took this opportunity to ask him how to play Jigong. The two of them performed a fragment from "Jigong" together: holding a broken fan, humming a song in their mouths, and walking crookedly forward. But Guo Degang felt that he was too fat and didn't look like "Jigong" at all, so he was very reserved. At this time, You Benchang told him that before he starred in "Jigong", there were already actors who played Jigong. So, "The Bodhisattva has no appearance, you let go of the acting." In one sentence, Guo Degang's concerns were dispelled, and he let go of himself and act without scruples. At the same time, it also tells all of us that "the Bodhisattva has no appearance". In this way, netizens called two words: pattern!When the epidemic was raging before, some netizens left a message in the comment area of You Benchang's ** account, hoping that "Grandpa Jigong" would fan it with his own fan and fan the epidemic away. So, You Benchang specially dressed up as Jigong and sent a short ** response to netizens.
He said: "When the disaster is at the head, those retrograde people who know the difficulties, those angels in white, they are the contemporary living Jigong who is helping the world, and the fan has long been in their hands." These words moved countless people to tears. There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only mortals who rise to the occasion. Those who help the world are the living Buddhas!In the promotional video shot by You Benchang for the Forbidden City, he took 4 young people to visit the Forbidden City together. In one of the clips, the old man asked everyone to play a tree. The four young men looked for different trees and posed according to the outline of the branches. The old man sat down at the root of the tree and played the role of the root. He used this to tell young people that 10 years of trees, 100 years of people. "The heavy snow presses the green pine, the green pine is straight and straight, you must know that the pine is high and clean, and wait until the snow melts. This is a poem by Marshal **, and it is also a portrayal of You Benchang's life. No matter how much difficulty and pressure he faced, he always adhered to the principle of "guiding people's hearts with literature and art", until when the snow melted, people saw the noble "pine". Hu Ge said that during the filming of "Flowers", You Benchang not only let him see the superb acting skills of the old artist, but also experienced his virtue and art. At the age of 90, he is still so active in front of the public, and You Benchang is probably the first person. 04 Grandpa You, who is fortunate enough to witness the times, live to be old, and learn from the old man as a late bloomer, has always refused to admit defeat and accept old age. In the short at the top of his account, he expressed the inconvenience caused by scientific and technological progress to the lives of the elderly. Young people go all over the world with a mobile phone, and the elderly don't know anything about a mobile phone. You Benchang was very afraid of being abandoned by the times and young people, so he made up his mind to learn how to use smartphones.
Now he can not only use his mobile phone to check information and watch the news, but also take a short ** from time to time to play. He also called on all the elderly to live and learn to be old. At the age of 90, he can learn smartphones, so others, as long as they are willing to learn, will definitely be able to learn. Looking at the language used by Grandpa You in public, you can see how "avant-garde" he is. When he took the stage to accept the award, he said: "I am You Benchang, 90 years old this year, and I am also fortunate to join the ranks of our post-90s. ”
post-90s", this kind of hot stalk close to our modern life, was used by Grandpa You. There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and he suddenly narrowed the distance between him and the young man. Previously, a piece of news about "You Benchang lived in a nursing home, and his life was bleak in his later years" rushed to the hot search, and netizens who did not know the cause and effect sighed, why did our "Grandpa Jigong" end up like this?**The sound was getting louder and louder, and Grandpa You had to respond in person. He first retold the news content on one side, and then laughed, saying "scared the baby to death", which completely amused netizens. Who would have thought that the 90-year-old man, the old man who called us "dolls", suddenly gave everyone a sentence of "scared to death baby".
Then Grandpa You explained the reason for going to the nursing home, it turned out that the nanny who worked at home went home to visit relatives, and the old couple had no one to take care of them for the time being, and the children were busy with work, so they simply went to the nursing home to live for a few days. When the nanny came back from visiting relatives, the old couple went home to live. There is a plot in "Flowers", Hu Ge came to discuss things with his uncle, and the old man actually pressed his legs on the sofa, and said that exercising more is good for the body. Netizens were amused and laughed. You must know that this is not the first time that Grandpa You has pressed his legs in front of the public.
At the age of 86, You Benchang recorded a talk show, in which he showed his legs and horses in front of the national audience, and said to the host very domineeringly: "I can too." "He's persevering, he's always being able to keep himself up, he's always ready to take on new roles from other directors. As long as the audience needs it, he is willing to live to be old, learn from it, and work until he is old. Since the age of 50, You Benchang has been insisting on learning, so he can star in Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" at the age of 90, and it is also popular among young people. In the last world, everyone has their own time zone for growing up. Some people became famous at a young age, but they have experienced ups and downs;Some people are late bloomers, but they have a happy life. No two leaves are the same in the world, and everyone is unique to themselves. We have different growth environments, different life circumstances, and the same will have different life perceptions. You Benchang told us with personal experience that at the age of 20, you can be nameless, at the age of 50, you can start a new business at the age of 80, and you can become popular again at the age of 90. In your own time zone, everything is on time.
