Before Zhu Zhiwen became famous, in his village, he was the poorest one in the village, and at the age of thirty, he had not yet married a daughter-in-law.
Brother Dayi likes to sing, and usually when he does farm work, he will shout a voice, but where the people in the village understand music, they think that Brother Coat is singing randomly.
Brother Coat is often pointed out by the villagers, and they also give Brother Coat a nickname, called "Three Mouths".
Brother Coat still loves singing, and he doesn't bother with the villagers' gossip.
Brother Coat still insists on his hobby, and he uses the money he saves to buy music textbooks.
After he married his daughter-in-law, his family's life still did not improve. Soon after the birth of the child, the family's expenses are also large.
In 2013, Zhu Zhiwen came to Beijing to work, but because he did not have a degree, he did not find a job.
In the evening, in order to save a few accommodation costs, he moved into an abandoned house. Finally, Zhu Zhiwen found a construction site and began to work at the construction site.
In his spare time at work, Zhu Zhiwen will also sing a voice to relieve this tired body.
But this time, he was not waiting for the people to roll their eyes. Zhu Zhiwen's singing skills have been praised by the workers.
They were all shocked by Zhu Zhiwen's singing skills, and some workers proposed that he go to the competition.
However, Zhu Zhiwen hesitated, if he went to participate in the competition, it would be delayed for many days, and there would be no money in those few days.
To participate in the competition, but also to pay for the road, where to find their own travel expenses. These singing skills are self-taught, will others recognize them?
But when he thought of his hobby for so many years, if he didn't try it and gave it up, he wouldn't be willing.
With the idea of trying it out, Zhu Zhiwen took the travel expenses collected by his co-workers and embarked on his musical path.
On February 13, 2011, Zhu Zhiwen participated in Shandong TV's "I Am a Big Star Program".
After singing, he was questioned by the judges, suspecting that he was a professional singer dressed as a farmer to perform, because he sang too well.
In order to eliminate this gaze, the host also checked Zhu Zhiwen's hands in person, and after the host's examination, it was determined that he was indeed a farmer, because his hands were covered with calluses.
They also asked him to take off his military coat, and after taking off his military coat, they found that zhu Zhiwen's sweater was even more torn. They believed that this was indeed an authentic farmer.
The judges were more interested in him, they could not imagine that a farmer who had never learned to sing professionally could sing so well. Just ask him, how do you wear a military coat and come to the show?
Zhu Zhiwen was also a little embarrassed, he replied, this is my best dress. Since then, the audience has known a person who likes to sing in a military coat, and they also affectionately call him "Brother Coat".
On March 15, Brother Dayi participated in the "Happy Base Camp" program of Hunan TV.
In 2012, on February 13, he stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and ushered in his highlight moment.
But after becoming famous, the troubles brought by it have also increased. After Zhu Zhiwen returned home, he added a batch of fitness equipment to his hometown.
He thought it was a good thing to exercise and contribute a little to his hometown.
But some bear children, do not know how to cherish, but also burned the plastic on the equipment to burn out, Zhu Zhiwen also looked at it and blamed pity.
After that, Zhu Zhiwen built a road for his hometown, and the villagers also erected a merit monument for him, calling the road "Zhiwen Road".
Zhu Zhiwen did not like the monument, he said bluntly, I don't like to be famous, and I don't need to set up such a thing for me.
Hometown to get water supply, brother Coat said, I can have a little more, to the end of the discussion to discuss, but the money let him out alone.
Zhu Zhiwen's home suddenly became a place where the villagers flocked to it, and his home became a fragrant feast.
They surrounded the Zhu family and lined up to borrow money from Zhu Zhiwen, and at the beginning Zhu Zhiwen still lent the money to the villagers with the kindness of being able to help you as soon as he could.
But later, the villagers came to borrow money from him every three to five minutes, and in order to borrow money, they also made up various reasons.
My family is going to marry a daughter-in-law, there is not enough money to do happy wine, my family wants to buy a car, learn a driver's license, there is no money to buy a car, I am sick, I need to go to the doctor.
In short, in order to borrow money, they made up all kinds of reasons.
Zhu Zhiwen's money was not blown by the wind, where they were tossed like this.
Looking at the IOU in a drawer, Zhu Zhiwen was very unhappy. However, they borrowed money and did not repay it, so Zhu Zhiwen had to live behind closed doors.
Who ever thought that those who could not borrow money still smashed the windows of his house in the middle of the night, and Zhu Zhiwen was frightened and did not dare to go out.
When asked how to satisfy them, one villager said, give each of us ten thousand yuan, and buy a car for each of us.
Some villagers said that he had just built a little road, and Zhu Zhiwen was talking big and doing small things.
In this way, Zhu Zhiwen's family lived a life of being watched by the villagers. As time passed, the villagers slowly stopped watching.
So a few years passed, with the rise of live broadcasting. Zhu Zhiwen's family has once again become the focus of the villagers.
They found that live broadcasting can make money, and as long as it is a coat brother, there will be income and more broadcasting.
Brother Dayi became their cash cow again, and they began to broadcast zhu zhiwen's family live 24 hours a day.
There are climbing walls to shoot, there are drilling door cracks to shoot, and various shooting methods emerge in an endless stream. Some people, in order to photograph Brother Coat, also climbed into Brother Coat's yard.
Even the villagers in the next village, hearing that shooting the coat brother can make money, they also joined the team of the live broadcast coat brother.
They don't work anymore, and one day they take a mobile phone to broadcast the life of Brother Coat.
Suddenly, the road in front of the coat brother's door was even more surrounded by water. The coat brother's family even had a problem eating, and there was no way, they had to order takeout.
Brother Coat's daughter, because she could not go out, stayed at home all day, and her body began to become obese.
At the end of the year, Brother Coat just started to send red envelopes to children, but he couldn't stand some thick-skinned villagers also came to the door to ask for red envelopes, so he had to give one to everyone, and he sent red envelopes for tens of thousands of yuan that year.
However, some villagers still think that the red envelopes issued by the coat brother are too few, only 200 yuan. Sure enough, the coat brother still couldn't satisfy them.
Later, Brother Dayi built a big stage in the village, sang for the villagers for free, and also gave the villagers the opportunity to broadcast his performance live.
With the marriage of his son Zhu Xiaowei, Brother Dayi is even busier, in addition to handling his son's wedding, he must always pay attention to his own words and deeds. If you say the wrong thing, the villagers will also have an opinion.
After Zhu Zhiwen's son got married, Brother Coat would still often go out to perform, but over the years he was too tired and had a waist injury, resulting in his exhaustion after each performance, and his increasingly fat figure made him more and more immobile.
The daughter-in-law said the family affairs in front of the camera again, and the coat brother was also dissatisfied.
After all, he didn't like to talk about family affairs and talk too much to the audience, he only liked to sing honestly.
Brother Coat is even more blunt, I would rather hope that I will not be famous, go back to the previous days, and live more comfortably.
This is the heart of the coat brother, he is too tired. He wanted to live a little quieter life, but now he couldn't do it.
For the villagers' practices, although there are also resentments in their hearts, but brother Coat is more of an understanding, he always said that they are all villagers in the township, and if they can help, they can help. Brother Coat is too kind in heart, you pull people a hand, but people push you.
