"In the Internet age, musicians can't rest on their laurels"

Speaking of the name of Huang Dajun, people may feel a little strange, but speaking of his music albums, everyone must be familiar with it. You Hongming's Snow in May, Nicholas Tse's Thank You for Love 1999 and Wang Leehom's Descendants of the Dragon are all behind it. Since he joined the record company in 1983, Huang Dajun has produced more than 3 albums and composed more than 7 songs, which can be regarded as an old-timer in Taiwan Province. Yesterday, at a keynote speech on "Huang Dajun's Musical Life" held in Xiamen, the reporter of the Herald saw the elegance of this legendary musician.

Transforming to the Mainland as a Radio Host

Since Valentine's Day last year, Huang Dajun has a new identity, that is, the program host of Quanzhou Erythrina Voice Radio Station. This is a transformation opportunity that he volunteered, and its source was inspired by his colleague Huang Guolun, which made him have the impulse to turn from behind the scenes to front of the stage.

"I selected the topic, planned and invited guests by myself, and even edited it later." This program made by Huang Dajun specially invited musicians from Taiwan Province to tell their life stories about their attachment to music. The process of making the program was also very special. It was recorded in the recording studio where Huang Dajun made records and then spread to the mainland through the Internet. "I am doing this radio program with the attitude of making music, so the effect is naturally different."

Over the past year or so, Huang Dajun's hosting skills have become more and more mature, and he can't see that he used to be a man of few words. "When I was just doing the show, I often couldn't pick up the words. Once Pon Chia Chia came, I always wanted to throw me a burden, but I couldn't stand it at all." However, it is precisely because of the support of these celebrities in the entertainment industry that Huang Dajun soon began to understand and the program became better and better. Later, Xiamen Minnan Voice Radio invited him to host the program, which made him more and more famous in the host industry.

Wang Zhongping took him out of the predicament

The name of Huang Dajun is often associated with Chyi Chin, because he entered the record company after graduating from college and started as a producer in Chyi Chin. "Our production manager is actually Bobby Chen, but he is very stingy and didn't teach us anything. The first album" Nine Suns "was actually made by three people without any production experience." The so-called three people are Huang Dajun and his classmate Zhou Zhiping, plus Chyi Chin, who was already half the sky.

However, although the singer who made Huang Dajun famous was Chyi Chin, it was the Minnan singer Wang Zhongping who pulled him out of the low tide of his life. In 21, Sony laid off employees, and big-name singers were retained, but Huang Dajun and others behind the scenes lost their jobs, which once made him very depressed. "For a few years, I couldn't understand why I didn't steal, rob, turn or cheat, but I became a useless person in society." In those depressed days, Huang Dajun spent his energy on buying "lotto". He completely ignored the entertainment business and dared not touch it again.

At the end of p>24, my good friend Wang Zhongping couldn't stand it anymore. He went to Huang Dajun's house to make tea every week and asked him to help with his new album. Eight months later, Huang Dajun was finally persuaded by him, and the music equipment that had been dusty for a long time finally had a chance to restart. In order to help Wang Zhongping make a new album, Huang Dajun spent another seven months painstakingly studying the production of songs in Minnan that he had never touched before. These new attempts rekindled his enthusiasm for music.

You can't "set limits" for yourself when making music

Hosting radio programs, making songs in Minnan, and even participating in the production of advertisements, which have never happened to Huang Dajun before, he is now actively trying. "I used to be very lofty, because as a producer, no matter how big a star is, I respect you very much. Now I know humility. I can't just focus on making music. I have to get in touch with things related to the entertainment industry so that I won't block my way."

The development of the Internet is a fatal blow to the musicians behind the scenes. No one buys genuine records, which will cut off their financial resources. I'm in Taiwan Province, and I'm one of the few people who can support themselves by making music. I'm really worried about those children who are interested in going this way.

Parents often come to Huang Dajun with their children, hoping to keep them with him for exercise and even spend money to learn skills from him, which makes Huang Dajun see the helplessness of the younger generation. "I want to advise those children who like music not to stay at home as otaku or stay in one direction, but to develop in all directions and then go back to making music, which may lead to greater success."
