Why did Benchang You only perform eight episodes of The Living Buddha?

Because of the time schedule, Benchang You only performed eight episodes of The Living Buddha.

"Jigong" was originally a 20-episode drama series, but at that time, the domestic TV drama industry started late and the crew's funds were limited. At that time, the film was a unit of two episodes, and the director and Benchang You decided to sign a contract for six episodes after consultation.

After the second cooperation, the last two episodes "Drunken Plum Legs" and "Intelligent Breaking the Headless Case" were produced. Later, Benchang You played the leading role in A Strange Story in Gusu, which conflicted with the performance time of the later episodes of Jigong, so he changed Lvliang to play Jigong.
