"I'm Chinese, I'm holding a Chinese passport, and I don't even have a (Canadian) green card now!"
For singer Jiang Dawei, this is the most he said during this time. Because of his nationality, he was repeatedly questioned by the public.
In fact, this is not the first time, in 2014, Jiang Dawei clarified this matter many times, but he did not expect that after many years, the same scene happened again!
In response to rumors of his Canadian citizenship, on May 11 he clarified again: "I just got a green card, I can live abroad, I am still a dignified Chinese." ”
However, as his wife and daughter were exposed to change to Canadian nationality, netizens criticized him for returning to China only to earn gold at home, and when he earned enough money, he went abroad to make a dash.
In fact, things like Gong Li immigrated to Singapore for love, Zhang Tielin immigrated to the United Kingdom, jet Li was forced to become a Singapore citizen in order to establish a foundation, and so on.
They can immigrate with dignity, but why have they been pickpocketed many times when they arrive here?
If you want to investigate the reasons in detail, you have to start from the beginning of his fame!
Jiang Dawei was born in Tianjin in 1947. From a wealthy family, he received a higher art education from an early age, and art and vocal music became his hobbies.
He never imagined that the hobby of vocal music would completely change his life in the future.
Also because of his good singing, he was recruited by his wife Zhang Peijun into the Tianjin Literature and Art Propaganda Team at a young age.
It can be said that Zhang Peijun is Jiang Dawei's Bole, discovered his artistic talent and carefully cultivated it, encouraging him to accompany him to go further on this road.
Perhaps the two have a common language, or perhaps they work together more time, slowly and day by day, hold a wedding in their hometown, and marry a legal couple.
However, at that time, it became the trend of the times for young Zhiqing to go to the countryside to join the team, and Zhang Peijun was assigned to the Ulanhot in Inner Mongolia.
Jiang Dawei voluntarily gave up his future for the sake of his lover and accompanied Zhang Peijun to Inner Mongolia.
Although life is hard, gold will shine everywhere it goes!
In the team, as long as there is an activity, Jiang Dawei will take the initiative to sign up and sing a song.
He spent 2 years in such a bland way, not expecting a chance to completely change his fate.
A young intellectual who admired him came across the forest police literary and labor team, and he introduced them to Jiang Dawei, who was far away in Inner Mongolia.
Later, Jiang Dawei sang "Harvesting Workers' Hearts Toward the Party" composed by himself at the literary and art evening, and the leaders were very satisfied with him.
So in 1975, Jiang Dawei was transferred to the Central National Song and Dance Troupe as a soloist.
In this hall of national song and dance art, Jiang Dawei's talents were initially brought into play and began to have a small popularity.
But Jiang Dawei, who harbors "the world," is not satisfied, and his ambition is to make his name resound throughout China.
Soon, another opportunity came.
In 1980, lyricist Qiao Yu came to the Central National Song and Dance Troupe to find a suitable tenor to sing his new song, "The Song of Peony".
Earlier, Qiao Yu's works "Unforgettable Tonight" and "Love Me China" were all masterpieces of who sang and who was popular.
Jiang Dawei, who wanted to become famous, would not give up such a good opportunity, and after learning the news, he immediately ran to Qiao Yu's residence and roared a few voices in front of a shocked Qiao Yu.
After listening to it, Qiao Yu felt that the young man's voice was good, and his appearance was also very good, and the effect of letting him sing should be good, so he agreed.
This year, Jiang Dawei opened up his popularity with Qiao Yu's "Peony Song". Later, Yue Yunpeng, a popular cross-talk actor, sang "Song of the Five Rings" and set off a wave of enthusiasm many years later.
And what really raised his fame to the peak was in 1986, when he sang the theme song of "Journey to the West", "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is".
"You carry the burden, I lead the horse, usher in the sunrise, send away the sunset, step on the bumps, into the road ..."
This song that resounded throughout the streets of China made Jiang Dawei a veritable singing artist in people's hearts.
But after he became famous, the controversy continued, what happened?
One is that after he sang "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is", he had a grudge with his mentor Xu Jingqing.
After the launch of "Journey to the West" in 1986, the leaders were not satisfied with the theme song and asked for another male actor to sing.
The original candidate was Li Shuangjiang, but he did not expect that there was something wrong with his voice. In order to catch up, I had to find someone else.
By chance, Xu Jingqing met Jiang Dawei in the recording studio, and after listening to his voice, he felt quite satisfied.
After consulting with director Yang Jie, both of them felt that it was okay, so they asked Jiang Dawei if he could sing, and Jiang Dawei agreed.
After the broadcast, Jiang Dawei quickly became popular in the streets and alleys, and he would always raise himself in an interview, saying that he had saved the Westward Journey crew by himself.
What led to his contradiction with the entire Journey to the West crew was an incident that occurred in 1988, when the "Journey to the West" foursome went to Singapore for commercial performances, Yang Jie did not go, and Jiang Dawei did not go.
Later, in an interview, Jiang Dawei said that the four-person group of masters and apprentices betrayed director Yang Jie, and only he was willing to accompany director Yang Jie at that time.
Because of Jiang Dawei's interview, the master-apprentice quartet was misunderstood by the audience for many years and was criticized and accused, but Jiang Dawei behind him became a righteous gentleman.
Later, director Yang Jie specifically clarified this matter in his autobiography, saying that it was actually a commercial performance organized by the leader of the stage that year, and the leader had invited Yang Jie twice, but Yang Jie had other things to be busy with and refused.
He earned a lot of money by commercial acting, while Xu Jingqing, who composed music, and Yan Su, who composed lyrics, did not get a dime, and there was no name and no profit.
Moreover, in the copyright of the song, he angered Xu Jingqing even more.
Jiang Dawei said in an interview that he did not receive remuneration when he recorded the song that year, and said that he sang for the crew and did not need to pay Xu Jingqing a copyright fee, and finally accused Xu Jingqing of not having any legal knowledge.
The relationship between the two is completely broken. Counting these grievances, it is still difficult to escape the exchange of interests after all.
The second is that after he moved to Canada, he returned to China to collect gold, and then fell into a scandal.
When Jiang Dawei was 31 years old, his daughter Jiang Yi was born, his wife resigned from his job to take care of his daughter, and Jiang Dawei worked hard for his family to sing, and in 1985, the 38-year-old Jiang Dawei became the head of the Central National Song and Dance Troupe.
In 1997, Jiang Dawei performed in Vancouver and was attracted by the local educational atmosphere.
Jiang Dawei, who received a good education as a child, knows that the future education and environment of children are particularly important. So he decided to let his daughter study here.
Jiang Dawei, who rarely accompanied his daughter, resigned from the post of regimental commander this time and made up his mind to emigrate the whole family to make up for the debt to his daughter.
He thought that with his fame, he could also earn money in Canada, but he did not expect that the Canadian people were not very buying. Within a few years, Jiang Dawei's savings had been spent very little.
In 2005, he chose to return to China to develop, but unexpectedly, his fame was no longer as good as before, and he was greeted only by the ridicule of his peers:
"You went to Vancouver to enjoy your happiness, why did you come back to grab food with us?" "Is it that the bread is not delicious, and the water and soil over there are not satisfied?" ”
With his self-esteem frustrated, under the comfort of his wife, he had a hard time adjusting his mentality, but he was deeply involved in the "peach-colored fraud scandal".
On February 3, 2010, a woman named Yao Man broke the news to the media that she was Jiang Dawei's lover and his agent, and that the 900,000 yuan that was placed there with him half a year ago was privately swallowed by Jiang Dawei.
As soon as the news broke, Jiang Dawei was scolded and his reputation quickly fell to the bottom.
Even his family thought that he had "learned badly", and Jiang Dawei, who was framed, was really indefensible!
He explained to his wife: "The two met at a cocktail party, and later she introduced several commercial performances, and the act of embezzling remuneration aroused my disgust, but in order not to worry my family, I kept my mouth shut." ”
The terrible thing is that Yao Man not only embezzled the reward, but also brought two men with knives to Jiang Dawei's residence and forced him to write down an IOU of 900,000 yuan.
Since then, Yao Man has repeatedly asked him for money without success, claiming that if he does not give money again, he will be ruined. Soon, she spread the news that Jiang Dawei owed money on the Internet, and also alluded to the chaos of his private life.
In order to seek justice, the couple returned to Beijing and sued Yao Man and his accomplices to the Haidian District People's Court in Beijing.
It turned out that Jiang Dawei left a mental eye when writing the IOU and writing the date, writing the date that he was not in China.
Under the investigation of the police, the case was finally solved, and Yao Man was sentenced to five years in prison for extortion and extortion, and instructed her to apologize publicly to Jiang Dawei in writing.
Although he proved his innocence, Jiang Dawei's image plummeted as a result.
There are rumors that in recent years, in order to buy a house for his daughter as a dowry, Jiang Dawei has frequently received commercial performances, and even sang until his throat vomited blood.
After resting at home for more than half a year, he returned to the stage, and finally bought a house for his daughter, which was the biggest thing in his heart.
Finally, there is the story of him and the "apprentice" Brother Coat.
"Peasant singers see themselves as artists, they don't have doors, they don't stick to the sides, and they don't deserve to call themselves artists."
"Which song was written by you?" Don't you just imitate two sentences that others sing, and the people like you? You're not a great character. ”
In a recent interview, when the host mentioned "peasant artists," Jiang Dawei was very dismissive of this.
Jiang Dawei believes that the reason why ordinary people like grassroots singers is only because they are farmers, and the people he insinuates are accused of being his apprentice "brother in coats" Zhu Zhiwen.
In fact, their mentor-apprentice relationship began under the witness of the media.
At first, Jiang Dawei also said in the program that Zhu Zhiwen was his student and mentioned the guidance on his singing, but gradually he did not recognize this apprentice, saying that worshiping teachers was the effect of the program and could not be counted.
Some insiders said that Jiang Dawei felt that he had fallen for Zhu Zhiwen's deception, and how could he not know filial piety? It is implied that he did not give red envelopes to worship the master.
People made shows before to find gold, and afterwards they cleared up the relationship, and Jiang Dawei was spat at in this way, and there are also traces to follow.
With "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is", he frantically searched for gold, and even turned against Qian and his mentor Xu Jingqing; after immigrating to Vancouver, he returned to China to collect gold and was suspected; he accepted Zhu Zhiwen, the "coat brother", as an apprentice, but afterwards he said that it was only for show.
Fate gave Jiang Dawei a good hand of cards, but he was played poorly because he forgot his teacher and abandoned his apprentices, and now he is even more late.
Although he has excellent achievements in singing, his reputation is also very important! I hope the old artist cherishes it!
