My shoes are torn, my hat is torn, and the robes on my body laugh me crazy. Laugh at me, I have been through the intestines with meat and wine, Nan Wu Amitabha, Nan Wu Amitabha.
Most of the childhood memories after the 10th generation are hobby classes, cartoons, games, and playgrounds. There may be very few mentions of TV series. In the previous era, TV dramas were also one of the childhood memories of many people, such as Huanzhugege, Journey to the West, and Jigong even earlier.
is not talking about the thunderous version of Jigong Chen Haomin, but the version of Jigong You Benchang. With torn shoes and torn hat, a Jigong who laughed and scolded, punished evil and promoted good, clearly appeared in front of him. To say that Jigong gave You Benchang not only his fame, but also his purity of heart. During the filming, he experienced three strange things. From then on, You Benchang firmly believed in Buddhism and converted to Buddhism.
You Benchang was born on September 16, 1933. In fact, he had a relationship with the Buddha when he was young. After he was born, a fortune-teller once said that he would not live to be thirteen years old and that he could only escape the disaster by converting to Buddhism. For this reason, when You Benchang was six years old, his parents sent him to the Fazang Temple in Shanghai, where he worshipped Master Xingci as his teacher, with the title of Cheng Pei. Of course, he is not completely a monk, but a normal life. After finishing primary school in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, he later entered middle school and high school. In 1951, he joined the Nanjing Arts and Crafts Troupe.
got the opportunity to study in the Shanghai Theater Acting Department in the second year. After graduating in 1956, he entered the Central Experimental Theater and started his career as an actor. He has been yearning for the stage since he was a child, and this can be regarded as a dream come true. At this time, You Benchang has not yet thought of converting to Buddhism. His career as an actor went smoothly. He also played Kong Yiji in 1981. The first year he played Jigong was in 1985. He was 52 years old and had many classic roles. The
85 version of Jigong has a total of 12 episodes. You Benchang played the first 8 episodes, and it is these eight episodes that made him "fire". Jigong left a deep impression in people's hearts, and allowed You Benchang to come out of the stage. They made each other a reality. Later, he starred in Jigong in 1989 and 1998. It can be said that people of that era would think of Jigong when they saw him. It was during the filming that three strange things happened to You Benchang that made him believe in Buddhism.
First of all, one day I was going to film a rainy scene. At that time, there was no sprinkler or the like now, and I had to wait for God. Unfortunately, the sun was shining on that day, and the weather was so good that it was unexpected. Just when everyone couldn't help it, You Benchang arrived on the crew, and after a while, it started to rain. The second time was also very interesting. In the play, there was a scene where Jigong held a pu fan to attract a butterfly.
scenes like this generally use special effects, but not in Jigong because of an accident. Because of role-playing, You Benchang often holds a fan in his hands. On one occasion, he was discussing the plot with the actors. Suddenly saw a butterfly, beckoning reflexively, the butterfly actually came over. The camera at that time captured this scene in time, and the staff directly used it in the play after processing it, so it seemed more real.
The third time was the same weather, but this time it was sunny, but it rained heavily that day. The amazing thing is that the weather cleared up during the shooting, which is quite amazing. The addition of the role also triggered You Benchang's own thinking, and finally he chose to convert to Buddhism. On the afternoon of July 28, 2009, You Benchang ordination became a monk, and the next day he received ordination under the legal name Dingchang. Of course, he also appeared in some roles later, most of which are monks, but he also fits his identity.
