"Dare to ask where the road is, the road is at your feet. ”
"Journey to the West" was undoubtedly a household name that year, and "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" in the play is even more familiar and popular. Jiang Dawei relied on this song to enjoy infinite scenery and became the object of everyone's pursuit for a while.
After walking by the river for a long time, your shoes will always get wet, this truth is inevitable even if Li Shuangjiang is full of peach and plums, let alone Jiang Da.
He never imagined that he would attract the boycott of the audience on the whole network because of his "unconcealed mouth for a while", let alone that he would be labeled as "ungrateful", "admiring foreigners" and "arrogant".
The tragic picture of Jiang Dawei recently singing with an umbrella in the rain was uploaded to the Internet, causing heated discussions among netizens.
It is reported that Mr. Jiang Dawei was invited to participate in the commercial performance activities in the Taohuashan Scenic Area in Shishou, Hubei, but the weather was not beautiful, and the wind and rain were mixed during the period.
Despite this, Jiang Dawei stumbled a little in the rain, but he still held the umbrella tightly and sang his best "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom" passionately, this song is very compatible with the scene, which is really rare.
He didn't have any staff to help, and the audience was empty. In contrast to the audience full of friends and infinite scenery, it shows his loneliness and loneliness at the age of 76.
Seeing this, netizens couldn't help but comment angrily: "You deserve it!."Reap the consequences and earn China's money abroad to spend!”
Why did this old artist, who was once famous in the north and south of the country, fall into such a situation?
The story of his fame will be told from then on.
Jiang Dawei is a young singer with a bright and penetrating voice. In the contemporary music scene, his songs are unique and he is known as the "father of Chinese folk songs".
In particular, his song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" has swept the north and south of the country.
However, the tune exposes his ungrateful nature.
In 1983, director Yang Jie invited the famous composer Xu Jingqing to cooperate when preparing the theme song of "Journey to the West".
Soon after, Xu Jingqing composed the opening song "Cloud Palace Xunyin", which is less than three minutes long and does not have a single lyric, but vividly shows the journey of the four masters and apprentices to overcome hardships and obstacles.
Yang Jie felt that the tune was exciting after listening to it, so she waved her hand and handed the interlude and ending song to Xu Jingqing.
Four years later, Xu Jingqing went into retreat and composed more than 30 classic soundtracks for film and television works, including works such as "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is".
Dare to Ask Where the Road Goes" is a song full of passion and inspiration, and the singer needs to have a sonorous voice.
Therefore, Xu Jingqing found Zhang Bangmo, she performed well, and her voice was soft and strong.
Director Yang Jie has repeatedly said that she thinks her voice is too soft and hopes to find a male singer to replace it.
Therefore, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, after Zhang Bangmo learned that he was fired, he beat and insulted Xu Jingqing.
By chance, Xu Jingqing heard Jiang Dawei's voice, and then he strongly recommended Jiang Dawei to sing.
After discussion with director Yang Jie, it was finally decided that Jiang Dawei would sing. After learning of this, Jiang Dawei was particularly grateful to Xu Jingqing and honored him as a teacher.
"Journey to the West" is popular all over the country, and its theme song is well-known, but the credit was stolen by Jiang Dawei. At that time, Jiang Dawei frequently performed commercially, earning 250,000 yuan for one concert, at least 20 performances per month, and easily earning 70 million yuan in a year.
He amassed a fortune on this song. However, the success of this song did not depend on Jiang Dawei alone.
Xu Jingqing single-handedly handled the songs and soundtrack of the whole drama of "Journey to the West", it can be said that without Mr. Xu Jingqing, Jiang Dawei would not have today's achievements.
Back then, Xu Jingqing worked hard day and night in order to compose this song. Lacking the help of any recording** at the time, he had to rely on his own imagination and creativity.
After continuous revisions, the song is finally full of majestic momentum. In stark contrast, Jiang Dawei forgot about his former mentor after he became famous.
People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden by horses. ”
In 2015, Xu Jingqing had the dream of holding a Journey to the West. At the time, he was penniless and had no one to sponsor him. When he was desperate, Xu Jingqing found Jiang Dawei.
It can be speculated that Jiang Dawei was originally invited by Xu Jingqing to sing this song, and made a lot of money with Xu Jingqing's creative copyright.
However, Jiang Dawei made it clear that he didn't want to spend this "unjust money", and even said that the song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" was obtained with his excellent skills and had nothing to do with you.
Mr. Xu Jingqing was very heartbroken after hearing this, and in the end, Mr. Xu Jingqing could only crowdfund to hold this ** meeting in order to realize his dream.
* Before the meeting, the old man kept a low profile, and even proposed that Jiang Dawei sing the theme song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" as the finale of this ** meeting.
However, Jiang Dawei "disappeared" and did not answer ** or reply to messages.
Jiang Dawei thought that this song belonged to him completely, and even said that Xu Jingqing lacked legal knowledge.
When Han Han was making a movie, he used Xu Jingqing's daughter love as an interlude, and Xu Jingqing generously agreed. Before this, Han Han had taken the initiative to transfer the copyright fee into Xu Jingqing's account.
In contrast, Jiang Dawei has been using this song for many years, but he is completely unwilling to pay anything.
Jiang Dawei even publicly stated on the show that he saved the ** of "Journey to the West", and thanked Director Yang Jie many times, calling her Yang Jie. On the contrary, Xu Jingqing was just passing by, and called him the "** editor".
This song was originally composed by the old man Xu Jingqing, but it was used by Jiang Dawei as a tool for his ingratitude and seeking money.
Jiang Dawei became famous in one fell swoop with the song "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" and became a high-profile "singing artist".
At that time, he enjoyed the treatment of a star, no matter how he went, he could be recognized, became famous, and naturally made a lot of money.
In that era with an average income of several hundred yuan, Jiang Dawei could already achieve a monthly income of hundreds of thousands, and every performance would use this song as the finale.
Rich and charming eyes", this sentence is true. In 1997, Jiang Da went abroad to Canada for the first time, and after only a few days, he was already deeply affected by the local culture and envied the prosperity of the local area.
Since then, Canada has become a place of great interest to him.
A parent's love for their children is deep and thoughtful. Jiang Dawei is eager to dedicate everything he has to his daughter, hoping that she can get a better educational environment. Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to send his daughter to study in Canada.
He used his connections to quickly help his family get a Canadian green card so that his family could experience life in a foreign country.
And I want to change the nationality of my wife and daughter to Canadian nationality.
After sending off his wife and daughter, Jiang Dawei decided to go abroad to live a life of enjoyment. At that time, he was convinced that with his singing talent, he could succeed abroad.
However, reality shows him the cruel side: life abroad is not as good as he imagined.
At that time, Jiang Dawei was well-known in China, but he was little known in Canada, and even if a wealthy Chinese businessman occasionally invited him to perform, the appearance fee was not too high.
As time passed, wealth dried up, and the family's life became more and more strained. In desperation, Jiang Dawei had to return to China alone to continue performing to make a living to support his family.
Jiang Dawei once thought that with his past fame and status, he could quickly gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
However, unexpectedly, he who was once all the rage has now lost his former glory, and even his young peers, who were inferior to him before, have become comfortable in the circle.
Even at a social event, he was even taunted by his peers: "Why did you come back?".Is it that foreign Western food is difficult to swallow and can't adapt to it abroad?”
Although Jiang Dawei's family had immigrated to Canada, he took the trouble to explain again and again in response to these questions.
He stressed that he still holds Chinese nationality and is still Chinese.
Not only was his explanation not recognized by his peers, but even netizens were outraged. A Chinese who chose to move to Canada, earn money in China and then spend it abroad, has raised questions.
He went abroad to study for the sake of his children's studies, but why didn't he choose to return to China afterwards?
For the sake of his wife and daughter's life in a foreign country, Jiang Dawei could only endure humiliation, ignore public criticism, and start his own way of making money.
Jiang Dawei quickly found a job in 2011 with the help of his popularity in the crew of "Journey to the West" and the help of his friends.
Although he has repeatedly emphasized that he is not an old artist who sings for money, he ultimately failed to stick to his original intention.
Jiang Dawei even broke his promise never to participate in variety shows and appeared on the most popular program "Avenue of Stars" in China at that time.
As a well-known guest, he was invited, and "Brother Coat" Zhu Zhiwen was one of the top grassroots artists at that time.
42-year-old Zhu Zhiwen just participated in the program of Shandong Satellite TV, and the "coat brother" wearing a green military coat and a black hat attracted the attention of the audience and judges as soon as he took the stage.
However, when he began to sing, his rich voice resounded throughout the venue, performing "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", which deeply moved the judges and the audience, and the audience gave a standing ovation.
No one could believe that such a loud and penetrating tenor could come from a plain-looking, unpretentious peasant.
After that, Zhu Zhiwen participated in "Avenue of Stars" and sang "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" on the stage, which aroused Jiang Dawei's recognition and praise.
Zhu Zhiwen later became an instant hit and was invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and his fame gradually increased.
Jiang Da knew that traffic equaled money, so he accepted Zhu Zhiwen as an apprentice when he was in the limelight, and accepted his gift of tea. This master-apprentice relationship with a completely different background also became a good story at that time.
Jiang Dawei began to become active under the attention of young people, taking advantage of Zhu Zhiwen's fame. At the beginning, he would express Zhu Zhiwen as his apprentice in the show and praise him for having a certain talent in singing.
Jiang Dawei unexpectedly fought back, claiming that he did not recognize Zhu Zhiwen as his apprentice, and even publicly criticized Zhu Zhiwen in an interview.
He said that he had never personally guided Zhu Zhiwen at all, and he didn't like him very much, and accused Zhu Zhiwen of relying entirely on Jiang Dawei's hype to perform everywhere for profit, and ridiculed "Brother Dayi" for his peasant-like cunning.
Even in the program interviews, he boldly ridiculed the peasant singers as only grassroots identities, difficult to enter the elegant realm, and have nothing to do with artists and singers, and their rhetoric is extremely arrogant.
More directly, he expressed the belief that as a singer, one should concentrate on singing good songs, rather than being a singer for a while and a farmer for a while.
Moreover, he believes that peasant singers lack their own masterpieces, and can become popular just by covering a few songs, and cannot become a real artist. However, he didn't realize that Jiang Dawei himself also relied on the works of others to achieve success.
Jiang Dawei was controversial for his disdain for the peasants, and everyone condemned him. The peasant group is the most simple and lovely group of people, and you hypocritical artist has no right to mock them.
In China, there are very few people who are actually rooted in the city from birth. Jiang Dawei's ancestors were also farmers, so few people understand why farmers can't become singers.
After Jiang Da became famous for himself, he mistakenly thought that he was highly respected and looked down on the masses at the bottom.
In recent years, Zhu Zhiwen, who was once beautiful, has returned to the countryside, but he no longer enjoys the glory of the past.
However, the local population sees him as a gold mine, and the ease of posting his ** online can attract a lot of attention and earn a fortune far beyond farming.
Jiang Dawei, as Zhu Zhiwen's master, has never intervened in his affairs, no matter how Zhu Zhiwen behaves.
Although Zhu Zhiwen once worshipped Jiang Dawei as a teacher in front of the CCTV camera, now that Jiang Dawei is in a high position, he naturally disdains this singer from the grassroots.
The fate of Jiang Dawei's life, from the original "unlimited scenery" to the current "everyone shouting and beating", is all self-inflicted.
The pursuit of fame and profit will eventually deceive people's eyes, and only by keeping a clear head can we avoid falling into the abyss and make us go further on the road of life. As an old artist, Jiang Dawei's words and deeds have always attracted the attention of netizens, "ungrateful", "admiring foreigners", and "arrogant", these evaluations eventually led him to embark on a "road of no return".
We should pay more attention to those who played a behind-the-scenes role in Jiang Dawei's affairs, because it was their silent dedication that allowed us to enjoy a perfect and happy childhood.
