1. Looking back today
"Oops! Let's take a look, isn't it the famous coat brother Mr. Zhu Zhiwen? The scene was filled with mixed noises, and people tiptoed curiously to peep.
Although time has left some traces on the face of this talented artist, his stylish black leather jacket and unique stylish sunglasses still firmly attract the attention of many people of the opposite sex.
In the whispered discussion of everyone, a sudden dull crash broke the silence, and a brick almost whizzed past Zhu Zhiwen's shoulder. In a panic, he subconsciously took a few steps back, and the bodyguards quickly surrounded him tightly and escorted him out of the scene in a hurry.
People can't help but start looking back on the bumpy journey of coat brother Zhu Zhiwen for more than ten years, and it seems that there are many little-known secrets hidden in them, waiting for us to unveil their mysteries one by one.
Second, the past is like smoke, tracing back to the source
To delve into the legend of Zhu Zhiwen, the coat brother, we must go back to that distant era more than ten years ago. At that time, he was born in an ordinary rural family, and the family struggled on the edge of poverty all year round and lived a simple and difficult life.
Since childhood, Zhu Zhiwen has worked hard in the fields, providing basic living security for his family with his hard-working hands.
Despite the hardships of life, Zhu Zhiwen has been full of love for singing since he was a child. Whether he is busy in the fields or at home, he always hums melodious songs, and does not care about the ridicule and doubts of others.
Later, he joined a construction team, and the difficult but free working environment gave him the opportunity to showcase his talents.
The workers were deeply attracted by his unique and loud voice, and they were amazed, saying that his singing voice was like a heavenly sound, bringing endless joy to their monotonous construction site life.
One year, a local TV station held a talent competition, and some enthusiastic workers strongly recommended Zhu Zhiwen to participate, hoping that he could show his style.
As expected, as soon as this unknown rural boy opened his mouth to sing, his incomparable voice and simple and honest image instantly shocked the audience. He overcame all obstacles, passed five levels and six generals all the way, and finally successfully appeared on the stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and became a well-known "coat brother".
And this chance opportunity also completely changed Zhu Zhiwen's future life path.
3. The hometown is deep and difficult to give up
After becoming famous, Zhu Zhiwen can display his talents in the bustling city and enjoy the luxurious life of the lights. However, surprisingly, he chose to return to his homeland, because he knew that his hometown was his true roots.
At the beginning, the villagers were full of deep curiosity and admiration for this famous "grassroots hero". What everyone never expected was that an ordinary farmer, who was originally unknown, was able to rise rapidly in just a few days and appear on the stage of the Chinese New Year Gala!
Those who live in the countryside gather in groups around the simple courtyard of the Zhu family, holding mobile phones or cameras in their hands, closely following every movement and expression of the Zhu Zhiwen family.
As the pillar of the family, Zhu Zhiwen does not have any dissatisfaction or resistance to this. After all, these are his fellow villagers, and he knows that his success is inseparable from their support and encouragement.
Moreover, the Zhu family is also looking forward to the halo effect of these people in order to maintain the family's popularity and influence.
However, the good times did not last long, and things gradually got out of control. With the vigorous development of the short video industry, some villagers did not hesitate to take advantage of Zhu Zhiwen's reputation and started live streaming to obtain economic benefits.
They frequently squatted in Zhu's house to watch live broadcasts, showing the daily life of the family to the public without reservation.
What's worse is that some people even picked up bricks and smashed them at the glass windows of Zhu's house, just to be able to shoot more clearly. In the face of such a bad behavior, the life of Zhu Zhiwen's family is undoubtedly in extreme danger, however, surprisingly, as the backbone of the family, Zhu Zhiwen seems to be unable to make any effective resistance, or choose to leave this place of right and wrong.
People can't help but wonder, is Zhu Zhiwen out of deep attachment to his hometown, or does he have other plans? As time goes by, more and more evidence reveals that Zhu Zhiwen has long been aware of the value of villagers' traffic and sees it as a key part of his long-term hype.
Fourth, behind-the-scenes trading
Through in-depth analysis of various clues, people gradually realized that Zhu Zhiwen had already carefully planned how to use the traffic of the villagers to enhance his popularity.
First of all, although he knew that his family was being harassed by the villagers and his life was in trouble, he never considered leaving his homeland. As the head of the family, Zhu Zhiwen's behavior of disregarding the interests of his family is really incomprehensible.
Secondly, the two marriages of his son Zhu Xiaowei revealed another side of the Zhu family. The first daughter-in-law chose to divorce after a short marriage, but before that, she used to frequently conduct live broadcasts on the Internet, making full use of Zhu Zhiwen's fame to attract the attention of the audience.
Although the second daughter-in-law did not directly participate in the goods activities, she never showed any disgust or resistance to the attention of the outside world to their family life, but seemed very calm and calm, as if everything was expected by her, and she was taking this opportunity to hype.
It can be clearly seen that the Zhu family has transformed self-marketing into a well-run business. Their daughter-in-law is a clever businessman who can deeply perceive and skillfully use this way! In an interview with the media, Zhu Zhiwen once frankly and helplessly affirmed that he would be attacked and harassed by the villagers every day, just like everyone in the village regarded him as a powerful pillar that could wield gold coins.
In fact, Zhu Zhiwen has long been well aware of this reality, he can't easily tear his face and leave his hometown, and at the same time, he can't stop the behavior of the villagers, because he needs to rely on the attention of these people to maintain his popularity.
In his eyes, the lives of friends and relatives have been confused by money, and they are just resources that can be used.
He orchestrates everything in order to gain a steady stream of attention. It is this strategy of "routine marketing" that has made Zhu Zhiwen always maintain a high level of popularity in the past ten years.
However, he never expected that today's ending would be so tragic.
5. Family imprint
Zhu Zhiwen's greed for Vanity Fair undoubtedly also deeply affected his two children, his son Zhu Xiaowei and daughter Zhu Xuemei.
For his daughter Xuemei, Zhu Zhiwen seems to cherish and love him more. Xuemei was young and vigorous, and once strayed into a pyramid scheme, but fortunately, the love and protection of her parents allowed her to return home safely.
However, for his son Xiaowei, Zhu Zhiwen seems to be a little laissez-faire. Xiaowei's marriage was full of twists and turns, and his first wife chose to leave shortly after the marriage.
What's even more puzzling is that the ex-wife had frequently carried out live broadcasts before the divorce, obviously trying to borrow Zhu Zhiwen's reputation to attract attention.
Even Xiaowei's second wife showed no concern for the outside world's prying eyes on their family life. It seems that Xiaowei's persistent pursuit of material fame and fortune has seriously distorted his concept of life.
These phenomena may have been imperceptibly influenced by Zhu Zhiwen. In the Zhu family, no one noticed how much trouble Vanity Fair's calculations would bring to family relations. By the time they got into it, it was already too late.
6. Truth revealed
Looking back on the various behaviors of Zhu Zhiwen's family, it is not difficult to find that their greed for Vanity Fair has blinded them and made them lose their original innocence and simplicity.
When Zhu Zhiwen just stepped into the entertainment industry, there was no doubt that his unique voice and simple image won the warm love of the audience! However, as his fame grew, he gradually fell into the quagmire of fame and fortune, far from his innocent and flawless original heart.
Unwilling to wander in a foreign land, and powerless to prevent villagers from disturbing his family life, Zhu Zhiwen only wanted to maintain his public influence through the sustained attention of the people in his hometown.
He is convinced that the interactions between his closest friends and relatives and the villagers can be measured by a value system such as money, and that they are merely resources at his disposal.
However, Zhu Zhiwen probably never foresaw that from the beginning of just wanting to stick to his homeland and tie up popularity, he finally lost the most precious family affection and bottom line. In the face of the endless temptation of money, he began to ignore the feelings of his family and despise the rights and interests of the villagers.
It was not until today, in the face of everyone's abuse and the threat of bricks, that Zhu Zhiwen realized that all this was the evil fruit planted by himself in the past, and now it finally ushered in the moment of outbreak.
The image of the hero of yesteryear has faded, revealing his truest side.
