On the afternoon of July 22nd, Jiang Tao came to the third stop of Huasheng audio-visual distribution.
Send it to the center and get together with the fans on the spot. The high temperature of 35℃ did not weaken the enthusiasm of fans. There were seven or eight hundred people upstairs and downstairs, and fans fanned him from beginning to end.
Jiang Tao in front of the reporter, with a height of 1 m 8 and a Chinese character face, is a typical Shandong man. Compared with the official image at the TV party, it is much more real and cordial. Despite living in Beijing for more than ten years, Jiang Tao's Putonghua still has a "Shandong flavor".
Although Jiang Tao was born and raised in Qingdao, he said Yantai was his hometown. When I was a train conductor at Qingdao Railway Station, I often ran to Yantai, often stayed in Yantai for a short time, and participated in railway performances with the group many times, so I had special feelings for Yantai. He was deeply moved by the enthusiasm of Yantai fans.
-willing to sweep the floor for singing.
Before her debut, Jiang Tao was an ordinary worker in Qingdao Railway Station. The leader intends to promote him to be the secretary of the Youth League branch, which is very promising. But he unexpectedly asked to be transferred to the railway cultural center for only one purpose-singing.
There is no suitable position for him in the cultural center. Jiang Tao said, "It doesn't matter, I can do anything. I will do anything I am told. " The leader joked, "The theater is short of a cleaner." I didn't expect Jiang Tao to really pick up a broom and work as a waiter in the theater of the cultural center. His photo shows the flexible working system there. He gets up at five o'clock every morning, rides his bike to Qingdao Mass Art Museum for forty minutes, asks the teacher for a vocal lesson, and then appears at his work place before eight o'clock. As long as there is a movie in the cinema of the cultural center, he has more than an hour of free time to play the piano and sing.
The move attracted the attention of the girl Wan. Wan is a newly assigned college student in the cultural center. She is beautiful, cheerful and lively. Jiang Tao, who doesn't talk much but works hard, attracted her: this young man looks simple, but he has a positive tenacity, and there is a vicissitudes and heroism in his singing. She thinks he will be recognized by people sooner or later. Whenever he asks for leave to practice songs, Wan will "watch the wind" for him and cope with the inspection of the leaders. Over time, the two fell in love deeply.
In front of his beloved girl, Jiang Tao felt inferior. One is a railway worker who cleans, and the other is a beautiful female college student. Jiang Tao lives with his remarried father. The two families are mixed and have many brothers and sisters. However, Xiao Mu's personal and family conditions are relatively good, and everyone thinks that she should find a princeling or an official cadre instead of an ordinary worker. However, the young couple got married in a small room of only eight square meters. The furniture in the room is only a wardrobe, a TV and a bed, all of which they bought at their own expense.
□ Getting married and having children is "drifting north"
With the support of his wife, Jiang Tao participated in the National Young Singer Grand Prix for four consecutive years, and she fell out of Sun Shan. First, because the singing skills were not mature at that time, and second, the recording conditions in Qingdao were not good at that time, and the quality of the tapes selected for the judges was very rough, so they were repeatedly eliminated. Xiao Mu and Jiang Tao discussed: "I don't think we can just stay in Qingdao. You have to go to Beijing to visit famous teachers. "
Jiang Tao has had this idea for a long time, but it is difficult to talk about it. where is the money to come from? What's more, they already had a son at that time, but Xiao Mu, who has always been weak, firmly said: "As long as you make up your mind, I will borrow money!"
1992, Hewan came to Beijing with his young son and simple luggage to learn from the scriptures. At first, a family of three stayed at the Railway Art Troupe Guest House for one day 10 yuan. Later, I found a 10 square meter bungalow behind the Beijing Hotel. Bungalows are dilapidated, and Leng Xia is hot in winter. What's more, at night, rats often climb into bed and chew on their son's little feet, scaring him to cry. Later, the conditions improved slightly, but my son couldn't afford to go to kindergarten, so he had to be locked at home.
Sweat will not be paid in vain. In this year's National Young Singers Grand Prix, Jiang Tao won the first place in the national professional group of pop singing with a song "Snow in My Hometown". On the day of winning the prize, the two men walked out of the gate of CCTV with gold cups and walked happily for a long time in the street. At that moment, Xiao Mu felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. Since then, Jiang Tao has participated in the Spring Festival Gala for ten consecutive years, becoming a well-known "party singer".
-The song is about yourself.
Referring to the new album "Waiting for Flowers to Bloom", Jiang Tao said: "This album is a family portrait, and every song is chosen with my family. The album "Millennium", "Obedience" is for my wife, "Wait until the flowers bloom" is chosen by my mother, and a song "Persuade yourself" is encouraged by my son.
Jiang Tao said that many songs in this album are personal experiences and the feelings expressed are true. For example, Birthday Gift is about a teenager choosing a birthday present for his beloved girlfriend. When he brought the gift to his girlfriend, she suggested that he leave it to a woman who is more suitable for him. At that time, he was a railway worker, and his salary was only 36 yuan. He really wants to buy a gift for his girlfriend. "I visited the busiest street in Qingdao. We both quarreled at that time. After the quarrel, we parted for more than a week. This song is especially like some of my experiences. " There are many examples of breaking up in the entertainment circle, but Jiang Tao and his wife have always taken good care of this relationship. Although there have been setbacks, I still insist on this initial choice. When he toured all over the country, he was full of infinite power as soon as he wanted to get home.
□ Filial piety makes his wife "jealous"
Jiang Tao said that he had never been romantic in his life. He and his wife never celebrated their wedding anniversary, let alone their birthdays, or even sent their wives flowers. When you are in love, others go to the movies on weekends, and both of them are watching the elderly. They spend almost tens of dollars a month on this, but never buy anything for Xiao Mu. Just when they arrived in Beijing, Jiang Tao didn't forget to send money to his parents.
Jiang Tao's father was paralyzed in bed for four years. During these four years, there were no caregivers at home. Jiang Tao said that other people can't take good care of him, so he must be taken care of by his family. He bathes and massages his father whenever he has time. 1999 On the eve of the Spring Festival Evening, Jiang Tao and Chen Hong are rehearsing "Go home and have a look". Xiao Mu suddenly got a call from her father-in-law, and she thought telling him would affect his Spring Festival Gala. When Jiang Tao learned about it, he almost shouted, "This year's Spring Festival Gala failed, so he can come back next year. If my father leaves, he will never see it. " He resolutely set off for home, but on the way he heard the bad news of his father's death.
After his father's funeral, Jiang Tao lived with his mother and mother-in-law. It is strange for outsiders to see two old ladies at home. Jiang Tao said, "I don't understand why some people don't want to live with their parents. It is a blessing for children to have the opportunity to be filial when the old man is around. When they leave, there will be no chance to be filial. "
