Chapter 656: Grandpa Jigong

"Teacher You is here?"

Hearing the movement, Huang Xiaoming and Wu Lei on the side also looked back. Huang Xiaoming stretched his neck and looked up.

And several leaders in the leadership seat in front also stood up and looked in the direction of the gate of the scenic spot, with vaguely expectant expressions.

The gate of the scenic spot is covered with a red carpet from the gate to the stage.

At this time, both sides of the red carpet were crowded with tourists, and many tourists who brought their children pushed their children to the front and let them watch excitedly.

At the end of the red carpet, the crowd could be vaguely seen squeezing towards the middle, cheering everywhere.

An old man wearing a red baseball cap was walking forward with difficulty under the protection of several security guards around him.

After seeing him, the children who were pushed forward were a little dazed, but their parents shouted excitedly.

"Grandpa Jigong!"

"Look! It's Grandpa Jigong!"

These middle-aged tourists seemed to have become groupies, waving excitedly at the old man.

Those children looked back at the excited parents with puzzled faces, as if seeing their parents so excited for the first time.

Under the protection of the security guards, the old man walked vigorously, smiled and waved to the tourists on both sides, and responded: "Hi, children, haha, how are the children!"

Hearing his response, the tourists around became more excited, and the cheers became more and more boiling.

Excited tourists flocked to the old man, wanting to shake hands with the old man, but were blocked by the security guard.

The security guards shouted profusely: "Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze Grandpa Jigong!"

Hearing the shout of the security guard, the tourists rushing over slowed down, and hurriedly stepped back, while greeting the tourists behind them: "Don't crowd! Make the seat vacant."

Accompanied by cheers, the old man came to the stage, and the surrounding security guards dispersed and gave way.

Seeing the old man, Huang Xiaoming got up and walked towards this side, while motioning excitedly: "Quickly pick up the old man."

But before he stepped forward, several leaders in front had already stood up and chatted with the old man, shaking hands enthusiastically.

Huang Xiaoming squeezed out and stood behind the leaders, looking at the old man excitedly.

Although he is also an idol in the hearts of many viewers, the old man in front of him is his idol.

This old man is none other than You Benchang, old man You, who played the role of Jigong Living Buddha back then.

"Jigong" is a mythological TV series released in the 1980s. It tells the story of the fiftieth ancestor of Zen Buddhism and the eminent monk Daoji in the Southern Song Dynasty.

This TV series was released only three years later than the famous "Journey to the West", but its influence is not inferior to "Journey to the West" at all.

And because Jigong is a monk who became a monk in Hangzhou, and You Benchang is from Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, so the influence of this TV series in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is even greater than that of "Journey to the West".

It’s just that when You Benchang played Jigong back then, he was already 52 years old. The stories in the TV series "Jigong" are also about Jigong helping the poor, punishing the strong, and using some witty little magic to teach those who oppress the common people and fish and meat villagers. Bully story.

Therefore, in terms of overall audience coverage, "Jigong" is not as popular as "Journey to the West".

But the children who grew up in that era also had deep feelings for Jigong.

In front of Huang Xiaoming, several leaders were greeting You Benchang, warmly asking about his health.

You Benchang himself is a national first-class actor, and he is also the eternal Jigong in the hearts of audiences in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with a good influence.

Even these leaders grew up watching his plays, so they were very polite to him.

And You Benchang also thanked him with a smile, very low-key and humble.

When several leaders invited him to take a seat, Huang Xiaoming hurried forward to greet him and invited him to the seat in front.

"Teacher You, I'm Huang Xiaoming, do you remember me?"

Huang Xiaoming squatted beside him and asked.

"Xiao Ming, haha! Of course I remember, we only met at the Golden Eagle Festival the year before last!"

You Benchang looked at him with a smile, and then said with a smile: "You still have a good-looking face. Last time I saw you, you almost caught up with me and lost weight."

"I've gained a little weight recently. I mainly participated in food shows. They are all delicious. I can't help it."

Huang Xiaoming smiled and said: "But you should eat more, you are indeed too thin, it hurts me to see it!"

"You all think I'm skinny? Haha!"

You Benchang raised his head and smiled: "This time I'm here to participate in the food festival, and your aunt even blessed me, telling me to eat more, and go back when I get fat to 100 catties."

"You don't even weigh a hundred catties?"

Huang Xiaoming was a little surprised: "Then you should eat more to ensure adequate nutrition."

"Just let it be."

You Benchang took the cattail fan handed over by his manager, fanned it, and said with a smile: "Although I am thin, I am in good spirits. I think this is good."

"That's true."

Huang Xiaoming said with a smile: "Last time I went to see your "Master Hongyi", you are in really good condition, you really worked hard!"

"Did you go to see it? When? I don't even know."

You Benchang patted his knee and said with a smile, "If I knew, I'd treat you to a meal!"

"Oh! It's a blessing for me to invite you to eat, how dare I ask you to eat?"

Huang Xiaoming made a joke, and then said seriously: "However, your acting is really good. After watching one scene, I am really convinced. Your acting is really proficient."

"The audience spent money to come, so I must work hard!"

You Benchang fanned the cattail leaf fan and sighed with a smile: "Seeing that you children are willing to come to see me, an old man, perform, I feel satisfied even if I fall on the stage."

Huang Xiaoming heard this and waved his hands quickly: "Don't say this, you have to live to be 150 years old!"

"Haha! Then I won't be an old monster anymore?"

You Benchang laughed heartily.

Huang Xiaoming also smiled, and then said: "But at your age, you really need to pay attention to your diet.

By the way, Brother Yi? "

As he spoke, he turned around and pulled Li Yi over, and introduced Benchang: "This is the chef I participated in this food show. His name is Li Yi. His cooking skills are very good, and he is also good at supplements and medicinal diets." Very understanding.”

Li Yi was going to come up to say hello, so when he saw this, he stepped forward and leaned over and said with a smile: "Teacher You, I am Li Yi."

"Hello."

You Benchang turned around and looked at him with a smile, but suddenly said "Huh".

He looked at Li Yi for a while and then exclaimed: "You kid, why do you look so young but feel a bit like someone my age?"

Li Yi was slightly taken aback when he heard that.

Huang Xiaoming on the side smiled and explained: "We all say that Brother Yi is a bit immature."

You Benchang looked at Li Yi doubtfully, but didn't see anything. Then he patted his belly with a cattail leaf fan and said with a smile: "You are a young man and I am a young man. No matter how old you are, your mentality must be young." , happiness is the most important thing, hahaha!"
