"Flowers" is on Jiangsu Satellite TV 15 rounds of broadcasting, the uncle played by You Benchang in the play was praised by the audience as the "Dinghai Shen Needle" of the whole play. "Flowers" took 3 years to shoot, and You Benchang filmed from 87 years old to 90 years old. Recalling that he chose to cooperate with director Wong Kar-wai, You Benchang said: "I like to meet challenges, I heard that he (Wong Kar-wai) has been grinding a drama for ten years, so I just caught up, so I will do it!" In the face of the audience's love, You Benchang responded that as long as the audience needs it, "I will live until I am old, learn from it, and work until I am old." ”
Uncle "Old Mage" in "Flowers" is always calm and relaxed. As the guide on the road to success, he taught Mr. Bao that there should be styles, gimmicks, and signs in business. There is an embarrassing scene at the beginning of the TV series: Uncle saw Po after wearing a suit, and his eyes were instantly moist. This scene made the audience impressed by You Benchang's "eye skills", "Teacher You Benchang has a look, I have seen Shanghai for a century." ”
In fact, after filming this clip, You Benchang was also unable to act for a long time. After the director shouted the card, he still couldn't stop crying, feeling that he was "too slow to act". Some careful netizens compared Hu Ge and You Benchang when they were young, and found that the eyebrows and eyes of the two were very similar, and they couldn't help but sigh: "I think Mr. You Benchang must have seen his eyes full of young self!" ”
You Benchang entered the Performance Department of Shanghai Theater Academy in 1952, and Hu Ge was his "little junior brother". The uncle played by You Benchang has the most rivalry with Hu Ge. In the play, Uncle Bao is Mr. Bao's **, with his support and escort, Ah Bao can become Mr. Bao, and outside the play, You Benchang is called "life coach" by Hu Ge.
On the set of "Flowers", You Benchang has to work nearly ten hours a day, which is a great challenge for a young actor like Hu Ge, not to mention You Benchang in his old age. But no matter how late it is, as soon as the machine is turned on, You Benchang will immediately be in good spirits and never feel tired. In order to present better works, You Benchang also actively played with Hu Ge without his own lens, which is very admirable. There was a scene of eating that impressed Hu Ge deeply: at that time, You Benchang broke the pieces of meat and ate them. Hu Ge thought that he had bad teeth, but he didn't expect You Benchang to answer indifferently: "I play the Shanghai uncle, I can't eat meat, if I eat meat, I will become Jigong again." ”
In the play, the scene where the uncle is in the pork ribs rice cake shop and guides Miss Wang (played by Tang Yan) to write a review book also makes Tang Yan remember deeply: "At that time, the shooting was winter, and it was very cold. Our scene looks like an indoors, but it's actually ventilated on all sides. Mr. You only wore a thin costume, but he shot over and over again, just wanting to present the best effect. Tang Yan said that Mr. You Benchang's state after every time he started filming could impress everyone present.
The uncle in "Flowers" entered the Shanghai Stock Exchange at the age of 16 and had his own brokerage license at the age of 18. You Benchang in reality was not so lucky. When he was young, he ran for 30 years, and it was not until he was 52 years old that he had the opportunity to play the role of "Jigong". A "Jigong" made You Benchang a household name and became a classic screen memory. You Benchang believes that "there are no small roles, only small actors", always take every role seriously, carefully figure out every detail, it is this spirit that makes You Benchang still choose to star in "Flowers" at the age of 87, and has contributed many highlight scenes.
You Benchang put a plaque in his home, which reads: Guide people's hearts with literature and art. He watches it every day and motivates himself with it. You Benchang believes: "You must love art and give your life for it, but you must not love yourself in art." After the broadcast of "Flowers", You Benchang was also chasing the drama at the same time. When asked what it feels like to see himself through the screen now, You Benchang smiled and said that he was "examining and appreciating". In the face of the audience's love, You Benchang said: "Thank you very much for remembering me, remembering me, and liking me." As long as the audience needs it, I will live until I am old, learn from it, and work until I am old. As an actor, this is my greatest happiness and greatest happiness! ”
