Why did Jiang Dawei say that he saved Journey to the West?

Text/Fire (Contributing Writer of this account)

Everyone knows that the singer Jiang Dawei is the representative of the older generation of singers in China, and his famous songs "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom" and "Horse Mercedes-Benz Protect frontier" are deeply liked by people in the 70s, of which "Horse Galloping Protects Frontier" is still composed by himself. It can be seen that Jiang Dawei's creative ability is also very high, and his popularity in the music industry is even higher. But I am afraid that there is not too much popularity among the new generation of singers. What makes everyone remember him is his evaluation of Zhu Zhiwen, the coat brother, saying that the coat brother has a peasant-style cunning, is good at hype, is not a peasant singer, is just a peasant singer, has no original works, and cannot sit in first class. This series of statements made fans who loved Brother Coat very angry and denounced Jiang Dawei's various remarks. He also took out the donation from Wuhan to belittle Jiang Dawei. Indeed, Brother Coat donated 200,000 yuan during the epidemic, which should be praised by everyone, but it should not be blamed for not donating, after all, whether to donate is voluntary and cannot be kidnapped. Perhaps Jiang Dawei has his own hardships, raising daughters and wives abroad, maintaining a huge family expenditure, and he has lost the glory of many years ago, looking for himself to act very little, compared to the coat brother Zhu Zhiwen. Maybe he secretly donated money, and it is possible to keep a low profile, but there is no definite evidence of whether he donated or not. These topics are over for the time being.

What puzzles netizens is that Jiang Dawei said in public that he saved Journey to the West, which is a bit big, and it is no wonder that netizens are not satisfied. People in the 60s and 70s have the impression that when Journey to the West was broadcast on TV, the theme song was originally a female voice, sung by singer Zhang Shumo, but when it was broadcast for more than ten episodes, it suddenly stopped broadcasting, why? The reason is that the electro-acoustic style of the theme song music does not conform to the overall style of Journey to the West, and the singer should not be interpreted by female voices. Later, director Yang Jie found many singers to sing are not very satisfied, when he found Jiang Dawei, just a trial director Yang Jie fell in love, so the theme song of the TV series "Journey to the West" "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is", sung by Jiang Dawei, the TV series was rebroadcast, and Director Yang Jie said half-jokingly: "Jiang Dawei saved the Journey to the West."

Jiang Dawei

There may be some truth to this statement, but it is somewhat exaggerated. If there is no Jiang Dawei singing, there will still be Zhang Dawei and Li Dawei singing. So many singers can't find a suitable singer, and even if they can't find a suitable one, it will not be that the TV series will never be broadcast. If everyone says this, it may be possible, but it is too immodest to say it from Jiang Da's own mouth.

We hope that as actors, we should pay attention to our own words and deeds everywhere and prevent others from talking nonsense. It is undeniable that Jiang Dawei's talent is very outstanding among the singers of the older generation, but it should be evaluated by everyone. As an audience, don't amplify a certain bit of negative news indefinitely. If a person is not a sage, who can be blameless? If Jiang Dawei can realize that he is not sure of his own measure of speech, he will pay more attention in the future.

And between him and Brother Coat, we should also ease the contradiction, Brother Coat is not easy, a grassroots singer can sing to that extent, liked by the people, very difficult! Each has its own fan group, do not accuse, insult and attack each other, home and everything, only by supporting each other, holding the scene, turning the dry into a jade, ice release of the previous suspicions, the development of national music is more promising!

I hope that Jiang Dawei will have time to explain in the media why he said that, otherwise many people will misunderstand. There is also a certain truth in the evaluation of the coat brother, but as an older generation of singers, it is more to encourage and promote the younger generation, rather than to accuse and criticize the rising star, what do you think?
