In 1984, Jiang Dawei first appeared on the big stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Under the gaze of the national audience, he sang "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloomed" and officially appeared in the public eye.
At that time, no one expected that Jiang Dawei would bloom peach blossoms abroad.
In 1986, "Journey to the West" was broadcast, and the theme song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" sung by Jiang Dawei also left a deep impression on countless audiences and spread throughout the streets.
This song was sung by Jiang Dawei, who also became a first-line male singer in the Chinese music scene.
At that time, many domestic commercial activities invited him to the scene and sang the theme song of Journey to the West.
Unfortunately, he did not cherish these hard-won opportunities, and before he could reach the peak of his life, he revealed his original form and "collapsed the house".
In 1997, Jiang Dawei performed in Vancouver, Canada for the first time.
He also experienced first-hand what is meant by "the moon abroad is farther away".
After making a lot of money at home, he chose to move his family to Canada.
However, Jiang Dawei, who experienced that life was not easy in Canada, returned to China again to seek gold.
This also completely buried his singing career and was forever nailed to the pillar of shame.
So who should blame Jiang Dawei, a singer who once spread all over the country, to this day?
How did his good reputation get worn away step by step?
From an early age, he dreamed of being a painter and entered the Tianjin Literary and Art Team at the age of 19
In 1947, Jiang Dawei was born in a wealthy family in Tianjin, which can be said to be born with a golden spoon.
The father was a pharmacist and the mother was a teacher, which was definitely a petty bourgeois family in that era.
The parents' two salaries are enough to enable the family to live a good life.
Since middle school, Jiang Dawei has been sent by his parents to study Western painting.
After a long period of listening, he also gradually developed a strong interest in art.
He paints his dreams in front of the drawing board day and night, and he also hopes that in the future he can become a great painter like Qi Baishi.
However, this dream was quickly shattered by the reality level.
Due to the cancellation of the college entrance examination system, Jiang Dawei, who could not enter the Academy of Fine Arts, also had to give up his dream of painting.
But after Heaven closes the door for you, it will always open a window for you.
In addition to painting, Jiang Dawei's singing voice is often praised.
It just so happened that one of his neighbors at that time also had a fondness for beautiful music.
So the two of them combined their swords, one playing and the other singing, often practicing at home.
Jiang Dawei, who was quite talented in singing, soon fell into the ocean of music and could not extricate himself.
In 1966, at the age of nineteen, he had a musical dream, passed the layers of selection, and successfully entered the Tianjin Literary and Art Propaganda Team.
In the sixties, this job was equivalent to an iron rice bowl, down-to-earth and good work, and it was possible to live a life in peace and stability.
He himself never imagined that music would bring him a sincere love.
Gradually developed affection for Zhang Peijun and gave up the work of the song and dance troupe for her
Just after entering the selection of literary and art propaganda team, Jiang Dawei was deeply attracted by Zhang Peijun, a colleague who was responsible for recruitment in the team.
Although she is three years younger than Jiang Dawei, her performance in work is particularly prominent.
Not only can sing and dance, but also the backbone of the Tianjin Literary and Art Propaganda Team.
After Jiang Dawei joined the team, Zhang Peijun also cultivated him wholeheartedly within his own ability.
Accompanying him through the most frustrated trough period, it is not too much to say that it is his Bole.
At that time, Zhang Peijun was at the age of the beginning of his love affair, and under the long-term frequent contact, he gradually developed a love for the handsome Jiang Dawei.
Usually, when rehearsing or performing, in order to save time, everyone brings their own food from home, and the food is very simple.
But Jiang Dawei's lunch box always has a variety of meals.
Because Zhang Peijun will always give him his own dishes.
Even if Zhang Peijun himself is hungry for a few days, he will find ways to feed his sweetheart.
These small things were all looked at by Jiang Dawei.
He was also gradually impressed by Zhang Peijun's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and soon the two came together.
In 1968, the Tianjin Song and Dance Troupe threw an olive branch to Jiang Dawei and invited him to join the troupe.
This was the opportunity he had dreamed of, but after much hesitation, he politely declined the invitation of the Tianjin Song and Dance Troupe.
Because at that time, Zhang Peijun happened to be arranged to go to the countryside of Inner Mongolia to join the team.
Little couples in love naturally can't accept a long period of separation.
In the end, Jiang Dawei gave up bread for love, and resolutely followed his girlfriend to the countryside in Ulanhot.
Married to his first love Zhang Peijun, he entered the Central National Song and Dance Troupe at the age of 32
Jiang Dawei's act of cherishing love and righteousness also moved Zhang Peijun, making both of them more determined to spend the rest of their lives together.
During the period of going to the countryside, although the living environment and living conditions are very difficult, life is still very full and sweet.
However, gold always shines, and in the third year of going to the countryside, Jiang Dawei ushered in an opportunity to change his life.
In 1970, the Forest Police Cultural Troupe performed in Ulanhot.
A zhiqing who admired Jiang Dawei very much introduced him to the forest police literary team.
Later, at the literary and art performance, Jiang Dawei sang a song composed by himself, "Harvesting Workers' Hearts toward the Party".
With his singing voice and musical talent, he successfully won the favor of the leaders of the literary and labor team.
In 1974, at the urging of his parents, Jiang Dawei finally entered the marriage hall hand in hand with his girlfriend Zhang Peijun, who had been in a relationship for eight years.
In order to allow her husband to devote himself to his career without worries, Zhang Peijun put down his career and shifted his focus from work to family.
Soon she gave birth to a daughter for Jiang Dawei, named Jiang Yi.
There is an empathetic Xian Neisuke in the family, Jiang Dawei's career
In 1975, Jiang Dawei was successfully transferred from the local cultural troupe to the Central National Song and Dance Troupe, which also meant that his career was officially on the right track.
He was favored by the famous lyricist Qiao Yu and sang the theme song of "Journey to the West"
As the lead singer in the song and dance troupe, he officially stood on the stage of national song and dance art.
He took this opportunity to receive countless applause from the audience, and gradually broke out some fame.
But the ambitious man was not satisfied with this, he wanted to get the attention and love of the national audience.
It wasn't until 1980 that Jiang Dawei waited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
At that time, he followed the literary troupe to Japan to perform, and overheard the song "Spring of the Northern Kingdom" sung by Japanese singer Chimyasu, and he was deeply attracted by the melodious melody.
Under the guidance of colleagues and teachers, Jiang Dawei finally learned this Japanese song and released the English version of "Spring of the Northern Kingdom".
Originally, it was only due to interest, but I did not expect that after the release of the song, a short boom was set off, and Jiang Dawei's popularity among the masses also increased significantly.
In the same year, the gold medal lyricist Qiao Yu came to the song and dance troupe to select a tenor and sing his new song.
It is worth mentioning that many catchy songs such as "Unforgettable Tonight" and "Love My China" are from Qiao Yu's hand.
Jiang Dawei, who has a loud singing voice, passed layers of tests and was successfully selected by Qiao Yu.
After that, Qiao Yu tailored a "Peony Song" for Jiang Dawei.
After the release of this song, Jiang Dawei's popularity has also reached a higher level.
Years later, this song was also adapted by Yue Yunpeng into "Song of the Five Rings", which was popular all over the Internet.
However, what really pushed his music career to the peak was the song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is".
In fact, it was Li Shuangjiang who was initially selected to sing this song.
But at that time, Li Shuangjiang's voice was dumb, and in order not to delay the progress of the TV series, he could only change the candidates as soon as possible.
In the end, Jiang Dawei picked up the leak and got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
With the popularity of "Journey to the West", the theme song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" has also swept the country.
Jiang Dawei also successfully achieved a counterattack and ushered in the highlight moment of his life.
It is claimed that Yang Jie is incompatible with the four masters and apprentices, and there is no need to give Xu Jingqing a writing fee
Some people can still not be arrogant after becoming famous, but some people cannot resist the temptation of fame and fortune, and once they are red, they will begin to drift.
Jiang Dawei is exactly such a person who cannot withstand the temptation of fame and fortune.
Since he stood at the peak of his life, he began to cause a lot of controversy because of some words and deeds.
These controversies and doubts have also pushed him step by step into the bottomless abyss.
The first is the contradiction between Jiang Dawei and the crew of "Journey to the West".
In 1988, the four male protagonists of "Journey to the West" performed abroad, and Yang Jie and Jiang Dawei did not go.
Later, Jiang Dawei took the opportunity to provoke trouble in an interview, claiming that the four leading actors betrayed director Yang Jie, which led to Director Yang Jie's reluctance to share the stage with them.
He also did not forget to "show loyalty" to Yang Jie, and righteously said that only he was willing to accompany her.
His remarks directly led to the relationship between Yang Jie and the four masters and apprentices, which was frequently speculated and questioned by the outside world.
Later, director Yang Jie also specially clarified this matter in his autobiography.
She said that she did not perform abroad at that time, but only because of the schedule conflict, not a personal grudge.
Jiang Dawei, who made a lot of money with the song "Dare to Ask where the road is", has complained many times in interviews that he did not get a point of remuneration that year.
When asked about the copyright fee for singing the song, he argued: "I sang for the TV series, not for the producer Xu Jingqing, so there is no need to give Xu Jingqing the copyright fee." ”
As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Dawei also completely formed a grudge with Xu Jingqing.
In 1997, the family moved to Canada, but they were crushed by the harsh reality
Although the above two events have caused some controversy and doubt, in the end they have not had much negative impact on Jiang Dawei.
What really destroyed Jiang Dawei's image was his next move after he moved to Canada and then returned to China to collect gold.
In 1997, Jiang Dawei flew to Canada for the first time to perform.
In this vast land, he felt for the first time what is comfortable, what is the foreign moon is relatively round.
Jiang Dawei immediately decided to quit his iron rice bowl job in the song and dance troupe and moved to Canada with his daughter and wife.
As everyone knows, under this bright surface, hidden is endless crises and hidden dangers.
At that time, he was complacent that even if he went to another strange country, he could use his skills to earn a higher income.
Soon, however, his illusions were shattered by the harsh reality.
Canada's high-consumption life made Jiang Dawei pinch a cold sweat.
In order to cultivate her daughter into an elite, it also needs a lot of money.
So the family of three quickly spent all the savings saved for more than twenty years.
Jiang Dawei's popularity in Canada can be said to be low to the dust, and few people know him.
There is a causal link between popularity and job opportunities, and no visibility means that no job can be received.
After being punched in the face by the harsh reality, Jiang Dawei realized how many pounds he had.
In order to provide for her daughter to study, she returned to China again, but found that she had no place to stand
In 2005, in order to provide for his daughter to go to college, Jiang Dawei, who could not continue to mix abroad, had to choose to return to China for development.
However, times passed, and when he returned to China, he found that he had already passed.
The roof leaked during the overnight rain, and after he became famous and advantageous, he went to live abroad, and when he could not earn money, he thought about returning to China to collect gold again.
Such a duplicitous act caused great dissatisfaction among many people in the industry and the public, and he was forever nailed to the pillar of shame.
Once mentioned him, the public will think of the old artist with both virtue and art, after this incident, mentioning him will only think of his ugly behavior of returning to China to collect gold.
Many proud stars have successively expressed their reluctance to share the stage with Jiang Dawei.
He has also been ridiculed by others many times: "You can't hang out abroad, did you come back?" ”
With great self-esteem, he repeatedly wanted to give up his career at home and return to Canada.
But his wife Zhang Peijun still advised him to take into account the overall situation, and his daughter's tuition was important.
Jiang Dawei, who gradually adjusted his mentality, began to use his personal connections in China, received some business activities, and his life gradually improved.
However, not long after the good days, a woman named Yao Man suddenly stood up and exposed the news of Jiang Dawei's derailment.
In 2010, Yao Man pointed out that Jiang Dawei was cheating, and borrowed 900,000 yuan from himself, which has not been repaid so far.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately set off an uproar, and the media and the public pointed the finger at him.
But soon Jiang Dawei stepped forward to clarify that the IOU was forged.
Because the payment date was March 20, 2003, but jiang Dawei was not in China on that day, it was naturally impossible to sign this IOU.
After the truth gradually surfaced, the storm slowly calmed down.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > does not recognize Zhu Zhiwen as his apprentice and satirizes him in the show</h1>
What completely made Jiang Dawei's image of an old artist collapse was because of the emergence of the peasant singer Zhu Zhiwen.
In 2011, Zhu Zhiwen participated in two variety shows of "Avenue of Stars" and "I Am a Big Star".
With his wonderful performance in the show, he has leapt from an unknown farmer to a hot singer.
Later, at Zhu Zhiwen's strong request, Jiang Dawei accepted him as an apprentice.
Jiang Dawei once openly talked about Zhu Zhiwen's apprentice in the program.
However, I don't know when Jiang Dawei and Zhu Zhiwen formed a grudge, and the relationship between the two deteriorated sharply.
He also bluntly stated in a telephone interview that Zhu Zhiwen was not his apprentice and had never learned anything from me.
Regarding this matter, Zhu Zhiwen remained silent and remained silent.
In 2019, just when everyone thought that this matter had long been turned over, Jiang Dawei once again satirized Zhu Zhiwen in a talk show.
In "The Mighty Wind of the Country", he righteously declared: "A peasant is a peasant, and you can never become a singer, and which song you create, you are just a farmer who loves to sing, not a singer." ”
I don't know if Jiang Dawei will feel weak when he says this, after all, in his decades of singing career, he has never released a song of his own creation.
At the same time, in making this remark, he mentioned "farmers" many times.
From his words, you can feel how high-spirited this old artist with "virtue and art" is.
epilogue
This year, Jiang Dawei is 74 years old, and now he rarely appears in the public eye, occasionally receives some business activities, and spends most of his time with his family.
Looking back on his past experience, you will find that it is not without reason that he will change from an old artist with both virtue and art to an ungrateful and high-spirited singer.
To this point today, I can only blame myself, I didn't have a humble heart, I lost my original intention after I became famous, and I couldn't go back after I was defeated by my own reputation.
