73-year-old Jiang Dawei would never have imagined that he would lose his reputation because of an interview. Not long ago, some netizens exposed Jiang Dawei's previous interviews on the variety show "Guo Feng Ming Ming". In the program, when Jiang Dawei commented on folk singers, he said frankly, "Farmers are farmers, not farmer singers. The two cannot be confused."
Jiang Dawei denounced it. The farmer's behavior is already objectionable enough, but he still ridiculed his disciple "Brother Zhu Zhiwen" on the show, saying that he often went out to make money by taking advantage of his fame. For a time, this young man's views shocked the entertainment industry, and later it was revealed that his family had immigrated to Canada. In the eyes of others, this old artist is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. However, during the communication in the interview program, Jiang Dawei's arrogance and arrogance were revealed. Why is this tenor singer who once sang "I Dare You Go" so arrogant today? Even his disciple Zhu Zhiwen doesn't recognize him or even denounces him as a peasant? It was purely by chance that he became famous unexpectedly
Jiang Dawei was born in a good place and received excellent art education since he was a child. Since his birth in Tianjin in 1947, he has been studying painting and instrumental music until graduating from junior high school. After joining the work, Jiang Dawei was assigned to queue in Ulanhot. At that time, Jiang Dawei believed that his future development would be submerged in this endless prairie. Unexpectedly, things took a turn. In 1971, "Logging Workers' Hearts Belong to the Party" composed and sung by Jiang Dawei himself was highly regarded by leading cadres at a theatrical performance. In 1975, this well-rounded young man was admitted to the Central Ethnic Song and Dance Ensemble, and his career went smoothly.
When he was thirty-three years old, Qiao Yu, a lyricist who had written lyrics for "Unforgettable Tonight" and "Love My China", came to the Central Ethnic Song and Dance Troupe. He overheard this information when he went to the cabaret corporate office to hand over raw materials. It turned out that the master wanted to find a suitable tenor to sing his latest song. Jiang Dawei was very happy to hear the news and immediately ran to the area where Qiao Yu settled and introduced himself to the teacher. When Qiao Yu saw the handsome young man in front of him, he happily agreed.
In 1980, Jiang Dawei first became well-known in the circle with Qiao Yu's "The Song of Peony". Five years later, the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" has begun recording the final theme song video, but the producer and production staff have conflicts over the singing candidates. Xu Jingqing, who won the opera music and background music for "Journey to the West", got tired of listening to the film crew and admitted that he was the one to select the talents. The slightly manic musician pointed at a tenor on the list at random and said: "Don't argue, just him. He has sung Qiao Yu's songs and his appearance is correct. He should be fine. Don't I'm worried."
In this way, Jiang Dawei was sent to the filming crew of "Journey to the West" for no reason. He didn't even know Xu Jingqing at that time. In the summer of 1986, "Dare to Ask Where to Go" sung by Jiang Dawei quickly became popular on the streets. At the age of 39, he felt famous for the first time. With high morale and no choice but to return home
After the popularity of "Journey to the West", Jiang Dawei often made money all over China with "Dare to Ask Where to Go" written by Xu Jingqing. At that time, when the monthly income of urban and rural residents was less than 1,000 yuan, Jiang Dawei could already guarantee a monthly income of hundreds of thousands. He later revealed to reporters that his average monthly performance fee is as much as 250,000, and most of the schedules are full, and this song is the highlight every time. In 1997, Jiang Dawei went to Australia to perform. For the first time, he experienced the prosperity of overseas culture and art, and Los Angeles became the place he dreamed of.
After returning to China, she considered that her daughter Jiang Yi was old enough to go to college. He sent his daughter to study in Los Angeles. In order to give his family the happiest life, in the next two years, he successively obtained Canadian green cards for his family through connections in the circle. Jiang Dawei, who was making money in China and making enough savings, also decided to leave China and enjoy a good life overseas.
In the first few years after arriving in Australia, with the savings from participating in the show, Jiang Dawei and his family lived very well in the two years after they immigrated abroad. But as time went by, problems arose. At that time, the Chinese social circle in Los Angeles was not particularly familiar with him, and foreigners could not understand Chinese songs.
The life of the Jiang family became even more confusing. Jiang Dawei had no choice but to return to China to perform and support his family.
Jiang Dawei, who was sitting on the plane returning home, was thinking that as long as he relied on his current popularity, he would soon be able to save enough money to return overseas. But when he returned to China, he realized that his wealth was no longer what it used to be. In the past, those in the industry who were not as good as him had already been able to thrive in China's rapidly developing entertainment industry, but at this time, Jiang Dawei had long been helpless and had to die. Make a living and show up
In 2011, Jiang Dawei took advantage of the title of "Journey to the West" and the help of his older friends in the industry to slowly establish himself in the entertainment industry. At that time, the Chinese entertainment program "Avenue of Stars" was the most popular. In order to make money, Jiang Dawei broke his promise not to participate in the program and was invited to be a special guest. At that time, there was a person named "Brother Zhu Zhiwen" in the variety show who passed five levels and defeated six generals and entered the finals. With a bass voice, "Big Yi Brother Zhu Zhiwen" Big Yi Brother Zhu Zhiwen won the championship on "Avenue of Stars" and attracted the attention of Jiang Dawei.
At that time, Big Yi Brother Zhu Zhiwen was gathering momentum. Jiang Dawei knew that the flow of money was "equivalent" to money. In order to attract more attention from the outside world, he announced that he would accept "Big Yi Brother Zhu Zhiwen" as his disciple. . For a time, this story about the friendship between teachers and students with huge disparity in influence became a good talk. News media from all walks of life continued to pick up the story, and Jiang Dawei gradually attracted the attention of young people who pursue fashionable games and entertainment. Initially, Jiang Dawei would continue to say on variety shows that Brother Zhu Zhiwen was his disciple, praising him for his certain skills in singing.
But when the overcoat brother Zhu Zhiwen gradually disappeared from the entertainment industry and retreated to the second line, Jiang Dawei felt that this relationship would always affect him, so he gradually refused to recognize his disciple. . "At that time, apprenticeships with teachers were just for variety show purposes, and I avoided them. Because I was very helpless, he and I were not the same person." Since then, Jiang Dawei has often participated in some entertainment programs with similar qualities to his own, and he has often interacted with Young idols interact and attract popularity in order to increase their appearance rate and gain more invitations. Jiang Dawei and Zhang Yixing's fancy interactions have developed over the past year or two, and the "old artist" persona has gradually gained a firm foothold. Jiang Dawei also received praise from many people that he had never enjoyed before. He finally decided to stay in China.
Jiang Dawei, this music veteran is undoubtedly the memory of an era. There is no doubt that now, his popularity has been "slapped in the face" by him personally. A person who learns to sing can never be a person without emotions, unless you have never let songs grow in your heart. The well-known singer Dai Yuqiang once said, "As a singer, money cannot become an excuse for indifference." But unfortunately, Jiang Dawei has probably never really understood what a singer's "emotion" is.
