At the beginning of this year, a work "Flowers" by director Wong Kar-wai who has been sharpening his sword for ten years made Hu Ge return to the TV drama industry, allowing Tang Yan to consolidate the position of 85 flowers and have a new masterpiece.
At the same time, it also made the actor who played the uncle, 90-year-old teacher You Benchang, a god in one fell swoop with his amazing acting skills.
Since 1998's "Jigong Travels" became popular all over the country, this is the first time in 26 years that Mr. You Benchang has once again walked in front of the audience with his role and has been highly praised.
In the entertainment industry, when it comes to Mr. You Benchang, people are all in awe.
He is not only an outstanding actor, but also a true artist full of tenacity and love to interpret art with life.
Even when he was physically injured and faced great challenges, he still stuck to the stage and wrote touching moments with his sweat and hard work.
At the age of 85, Mr. Yau suffered a fractured humerus, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to many people.
Doctors even predicted that his arm might be difficult to recover and that he might never even be able to lift it.
However, Mr. You Benchang was not crushed by the predicament.
He firmly chose to train and was determined to return to the stage through his own efforts.
After three months of arduous training, Mr. You Benchang achieved what the doctor called a "miracle" with amazing perseverance and perseverance.
His arm gradually regained its function and was even able to lift it again, which is undoubtedly extremely difficult for an 85-year-old man.
My daughter recalled that during that time, after every rehabilitation, Mr. You Benchang's back was soaked, which was a testimony of his hard work and sweat.
Mr. You Benchang's tenacity and love are not only reflected in the best of the body, but also in his persistent pursuit of art.
In the hit TV series "Flowers", with his superb acting skills, he vividly interpreted the image of "uncle" and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
He is not only playing a role, but also using his life to experience and understand that role, and perfectly present it in front of the audience.
The day he accepted the invitation of Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers" happened to be his 87th birthday.
Being able to receive an invitation from director Wong Kar-wai is a repercussion for You Benchang, who has always been eager to make movies, and he is ecstatic.
During the filming, You Benchang always maintained a high level of enthusiasm and focus, and contributed many "textbook-style" performance scenes.
He is the oldest actor in the crew, nearly 90 years old, and cannot stand for long periods of time, but he has to film for at least ten hours a day.
Despite this, when filming his own scene, You Benchang could have gone back to the car to rest.
But he refused to leave, sat directly on the apple box on the set, and continued to play with the actors.
He said: "Because "when you go 'out of the field', you will disperse and you have to concentrate."
Many people say that filming "Flowers" at the age of 87 is a big challenge.
Teacher You Benchang said: "This is not a challenge, it is a fate, I am lucky to be able to continue to move forward with young actors!" ”
He "played small roles as big roles, and worked the dragon set as the protagonist", and contributed the best uncle to us.
In fact, from the beginning of acting in 1956, You Benchang remembered a sentence called "guiding people's hearts with literature and art", and has practiced it to this day.
Therefore, he adheres to the belief that "there are no small roles, only small actors", and plays every small role and even the role as the protagonist, and he has been acting for more than 20 years.
In 1984, he appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and became popular with the pantomime "Bathing".
The performance lasts only four minutes, and the prop is only a stool.
However, his superb acting skills and superb body control make this performance alive and full of jokes.
He was also called the "Master of Mime" by the audience.
In 1985, in order to shoot "Jigong" to achieve real results, he asked people to really beat him, and in the end, he was beaten so much that he couldn't get up from lying on the ground.
In the end, when "Jigong" was broadcast in Singapore, it created a miracle of more than a million people**.
At that time, the number of ** people in "Journey to the West" was 870,000, and "Dream of Red Mansions" was 840,000.
Teacher You Benchang is also known as "You Million".
This kind of awe and love for art is deeply admirable.
Mr. You Benchang used his actions to interpret what a real artist and a real actor are.
On the evening of February 10, at the 2nd Annual Ceremony of Chinese TV Dramas of CMG, Mr. You Benchang won the honor of "Lifetime Achievement Artist".
He was not arrogant or impatient, thinking long-term, and said: "I am so happy, this is an encouragement, an encouragement, and a spur."
He also encouraged everyone and also motivated himself: "As long as you move forward, you will definitely be seen, and I am willing to work hard with all my friends who are younger than me to move forward."
Such an uncle is an example we should learn from, and he is also the eternal pride of the actor's industry.
I salute this great artist and look forward to many more wonderful performances in the future.
