"I don't know what my second half will be, and it could have started from a time when I was young and unbounded, just like I did at the beginning of the first half. In fact, there is no point in time that allows us to predict the future. ”
——Huang Shujun
Instantly one or two albums, identify yourself as a musician
When it comes to Huang Shujun, most people first think of him as a judge who appears in various reality shows. His discerning ability and sharp and elegant judging style left a deep impression on the audience.
In fact, Huang Shujun became known earlier because of music. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was one of the leading figures in Taiwanese music.
In 1988, Huang Shujun, who was still in college, was invited by a record company by chance to release his first solo album "Non-stop Sorrow".
The 10 lyrics included in it were all filled in and composed by Huang Shujun himself, and even the copywriting of the record cover was written by himself.
The sales of the first album were on a par with famous singers such as Tan Yonglin and Zhang Yusheng. The second album, released in a trendy fashion, also sold 200,000 volumes.
Huang Shujun's music was a market sensation at that time, which made many music critics excited, and some people said that if the meaning of the lyrics and the broad style of the song were discussed, the only Taiwanese musicians in that era could compare with Huang Shujun was Luo Dayou.
A science student majoring in the "Department of Atmospheric Sciences" unexpectedly reaped these achievements with his passion and talent for music. When interest becomes a shining point in a person, it is undoubtedly a kind of happiness.
"Two albums, sure I can stay in the industry, it turns out I'm a musician."
Moment 2 At the age of 29, he became the first Chinese music director of EMI Records
At one time, Taiwan's record industry was in turmoil, and the world's leading record companies set up companies in Taiwan. At the age of 29, Huang Shujun set a record that was almost impossible to break, and he became the first Chinese music director of EMI, one of the world's five largest record labels.
From a talented creator to a music director, Huang Shujun went from the front of the stage to the backstage. After creating and producing albums for Zhang Guorong, Wang Fei, Zhang Huimei, Na Ying, Zhou Huimin, Chen Huilin, Li Ming, Beyond, Xin Xiaoqi and many other artists, he was known as a gold medal producer in the industry.
The advent of the post-Internet era inevitably led to a slump in record sales. Huang Shujun had to think about how to get out of the predicament. He started researching and experimenting with innovation, he started to get involved with things outside of music, and many years ago he had successfully combined the Live Show Restaurant with the webcast studio.
Subsequently, he sold the network company and founded a production company that specialized in integrating marketing and content. Over the years, in fact, Huang Shujun has been trying to "cross over", he is not just a musician.
Three steps in an instant, looking for a new exit in life
While running the company, Huang Shujun is actually studying for an EMBA course, during which he was invited to serve as a judge for a reality show. In the show, his elegant and interesting comments all exude a unique personality charm, which is convincing, and fans even call him the Chinese version of "Simon".
Huang Shujun described how he felt when he was a judge, like helping artists make records in the studio. He's like in the Control room, and the contestants are like they're in studio. This process repeats itself.
"I know that when I'm doing something that's not myself so sincere and passionate all the time, I'm going to find a new outlet in life."
What is the new export?
In a conversation with a friend, Huang Shujun found the exit.
They integrated various majors, hobbies, and learning skills to create a live interactive platform for knowledge sharing. So he added another identity, and last year he became the vice president and platform chief of a live interactive online education group.
Huang Shujun uses his personal practice to let the world see that many things are not so many rules and regulations that bind you, but whether you are willing to explore the unknown road with sincerity and enthusiasm.
This year, Huang Shujun also founded Gaodi Capital, which will focus on the three major venture capital areas of artificial intelligence, audio-visual media, and consumption upgrading, and more importantly, he also joined the second season of Shenzhen Satellite TV Yatang Xiaochao's "Partnership Chinese" as a mentor.
At the press conference, Huang Shujun said: "There are similarities between entrepreneurship and creation. Creation only needs to convince yourself, but entrepreneurship needs to convince the world. ”
Huang Shujun's first half, starting from a science student who loves music, has been a singer and has made records. Became a gold medal producer, started his own company... The story of the second half continues.
As Huang Shujun said, there is no point in time that allows us to predict the future.
But I am convinced that as long as I have been on the road, I can harvest extraordinary feelings and encourage together.
Sincerely invite you to pay attention to the second season of Shenzhen Satellite TV Yatang Xiaochao's "Partnership Chinese" broadcast every Thursday night from May 25 to 21:20, more rational investment, more humane care, more entertainment to watch!
