<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >if someone asks who Jay Chou's golden partner is, I think almost no one will mention the second place except Fang Wenshan. Yes, this is a very standard answer, the standard is not tolerant of half a challenge, but behind this music king, in addition to Taishan Fang Wenshan, don't forget that there is also the Big Dipper Huang Junlang. </h1>
As a lyricist who also partnered with Jay Chou, some people described Fang Wenshan and Huang Junlang as follows: Fang Wenshan made Jay Chou famous, and Huang Junlang made Jay Chou famous in history. Thinking about it carefully, this seems to make sense, just by virtue of the song "In the Name of the Father", Huang Junlang deserves it.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > like Huang Junlang, which began with Jay Chou, or, began with a song "General" written by him and sung by Jay Chou. </h1>
When the head cannon, the screen horse, the twenty-sixth gun five near four, thirty-three moves, the car two flat seven.
In my memory, after seeing these few rather sharp chess terms, I was attracted, stared at the screen and read them several times before I could count them as smooth, and later learned that these lyrics were written by Huang Junlang after deliberately studying the chess score for half a month, before that, he was just a layman who did not know how to play chess.
Now it seems that Ah Lang was once a cruel person.
In addition to the lyrics, Huang Junlang's lyric fans commented that he was casual and informal, and the truth seems to be the same.
He didn't care about his appearance and dress, didn't care about fame and fortune, walked around the office barefoot, and was often described by people around him as a tramp, yes, it was him. When he came to the mainland to do propaganda, Jay Chou also put on his own clothes for him, in order not to let Huang Junlang wear a "beggar costume" to be interviewed and lose his face.
A person's highlight moments are often the easiest to remember, like Huang Junlang, the lyricist of "In the Name of the Father", which set a record of 800 million people listening to at the same time. But under the aura, the most touching thing is the silent personal quality of moisturizing things, such as Huang Junlang's freedom.
01
On December 25, 2013, Huang Junlang's fifth book "Huang Junlang's Black" was published, and it was paired with an album of the same name, which was specially created for him by Jay Chou and his recording engineer Gary Yang Ruidai.
In the face of jay Chou, a close friend who stayed up late to write songs for himself, Huang Junlang, who has rarely mentioned Jay Chou on Weibo, also sighed: My pride has become an insignificant existence in front of friendship!
Pride is Huang Junlang's self-evaluation, but in the eyes of the people around him, it is he who is free, casual and true.
Fang Wenshan opened a publishing house, and could have hired Huang Junlang as an employee, but because he was worried about not being able to keep his casual Huang Junlang, he gave up all the money needed to open the publishing house and told him: "I will help you pad first, you are also one of the bosses, so that you will stay, otherwise your personality will soon run." ”
Jay Chou asked him to act in movies many times, but he was also rejected, in order to show his determination, he sent a text message to Jay Chou: "You Jay Chou wants to make a movie, how long can the queue that wants to come to the show be, they are even willing to kneel down and hope to give them this opportunity, why do you want to find me?" Why bother? ”
But Jaylen does not care so much, he knows that Huang Junlang is a person who does not care much about fame and fortune, which actually arouses his determination to give him fame and fortune, and he "threatens" Huang Junlang: "If you don't come to act, there will be no lyrics for you to write." In the end, in the face of Jay Chou, who also cherished friendship, Ah Lang, who could not bear to destroy this state, had to surrender and agreed to participate.
Being able to make two friends at the same time, Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan, is inseparable from Huang Junlang's personality. Free and indifferent to fame and fortune, only let him harvest friendship.

In the late summer of 1973, Huang Junlang was born in a small fishing village in Linyuan Township, Kaohsiung County, Taiwan Province, in which the sea can be seen at any time, and the breakwater along the coast is the most frequented place for Huang Junlang, facing the sea, sunrise and sunset.
Even if he later became famous, Huang Junlang may still not forget here, but he still goes there several times a year to see the sea, bring a camera, buy a drink, sit on the familiar embankment, away from the crowds of lights and wine.
In college, Huang Junlang did a crazy thing is to buy all the beds in the dormitory, and then put books, CDs, computers, and then install lights, completely breaking the rules and regulations of the dormitory, and becoming Huang Junlang's personal studio.
Not only that, he and his friends also agreed that they could take girls into the dormitory, just put a yellow umbrella at the door. So sometimes, when Huang Junlang returned to the dormitory to take a bath after the rain outside, he saw the umbrella at the door, so he had to buy a newspaper and a pack of cigarettes, and sit outside the dormitory to smoke and read the newspaper.
In addition to not liking the shackles of the dormitory, the free-spirited Huang Junlang did not work hard in his studies.
At that time, in order to get his book "The Second Book" to get the first place, Huang Junlang skipped class many times to participate in the competition, and the school almost expelled him, but fortunately he won the second place in the competition, went to the newspaper, and won a prize of NT$50,000. After the school understood the situation, it agreed to let him finish the book.
Huang Junlang in the ivory tower is used to being free, and after graduating from college, he did not embark on the road to find a job, but lived an almost wandering life and enjoyed it.
Guo Degang once said in a cross-talk that there was a person who changed from unemployed to a senior unemployed youth, which was very suitable for Huang Junlang at that time. He loved to paint, but no one bought it, because he couldn't make money, he owed rent all the time, and it was common to be cut off from water and electricity.
Huang Junlang later recalled that once, the landlord couldn't stand it, taking advantage of the gap when he went out, changed the lock and threw the luggage outside the house. By the time he got home, some of his luggage had already been damaged by the rain, so he asked his neighbor for a cigarette and hid under the eaves to smoke it.
At that time, he was depressed, but not pessimistic, but felt that such a life was cool.
When he really didn't have money, he ran to the nearby coffee shop to order a drink, then sat there and painted a painting for an afternoon, and then waited until the evening, and then took the painting to exchange dinner with the boss, and the lucky Huang Junlang succeeded every time. Over time, coffee shop doors, ceilings, floors, walls, columns and toilets have his paintings.
The luck of the free person will not be too bad, and it is precisely because of the free personality that Huang Junlang made many friends who supported him during that period of discouragement, and met Fang Wenshan, who was also introduced by these friends.
At that time, Fang Wenshan had already gained fame in the Chinese music scene, and his new work "Niangzi" had just come out, and he was nominated for the Best Lyricist Award at the 12th Golden Melody Awards.
Although he was under the aura, Fang Wenshan was thinking of another thing - opening a publishing house to publish his own books. The book has been written, only the illustrations are missing, and Huang Junlang's book "This Book" is delivered to the hand.
When he first met Fang Wenshan, Huang Junlang did not pretend to be very respectful, but bluntly said that he had not heard of the name, and later wrote: "It is because I listen to foreign music." Huang Junlang's directness made Fang Wenshan feel that this was a person with a less commercial atmosphere, free, casual, real, and could be made friends. After thinking about it, he decided to shelve his book and help Huang Junlang out first.
In 2002, at the age of 29, Huang Junlang published his first book, "This Book.".
The witness of friendship is not only that, Jay Chou also noticed Huang Junlang because of Fang Wenshan.

On December 18, 2010, the seventh episode of the variety show "Mr.J Channel" hosted by Jay Chou, Du Ge (Du Guozhang), Ice Cream (Huang Xinyu), Wheat (Mai Yanwei) and Yi Hei Eli was broadcast, and Huang Junlang, who was on the show for the first time, habitually crossed Erlang's legs and talked about his acquaintance with Jay Chou.
Jay Chou: Fang Wenshan?
Huang Junlang: He is not there.
Jay: Oh well, thank you.
Jay Chou, who originally wanted to find Fang Wenshan, met Huang Junlang, and the two mistakenly hit and bumped into the first side, in Fang Wenshan and Huang Junlang's own publishing house.
Since then, Fang Wenshan has often recommended Huang Junlang to the company's internal bosses. "Let Ah Lang write the lyrics!" It became a phrase that Fang Wenshan often said.
Perhaps under the influence of Fang Wenshan, one day Jay Chou gave Huang Junlang two songs of demo, namely "In the Name of the Father" and "Three Years and Two Classes", and asked him to pick a filler. In the end, Huang Junlang chose "In the Name of the Father", which was his first time composing lyrics.
Who knows, debut is the peak.
More than 50 radio stations across Asia premiered simultaneously, and 800 million people listened to it at the same time, a miracle that belongs to "In the Name of the Father". But as a lyricist, Huang Junlang poured cold water on himself.
"When I think about that song, it's actually Jaylen's idea, it's all Jaylen's idea, and I'm just a little bit embellished."
"When I think of that song, it's actually Wenshan trying to help me, to fight for me, and to ask the record company to mention me more."
Huang Junlang wrote his own views on "In the Name of the Father" and his gratitude to the two benefactors and close friends, these meaty words do not look like they were written by a free person.
epilogue
As free as Huang Junlang, walking around the office barefoot, lying on the ground and sleeping with a spread newspaper, dressed more like a tramp, and not caring whether he succeeded or not. Even if he is known for writing songs, he still says that what he loves most is not writing songs, but writing books and paintings.
But because of this, he gained two close friends who understood him, Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan, who took care of Huang Junlang's realistic side. Fang Wenshan finally handed over the publishing house to him, and Jay Chou forced him to write lyrics to make money, ensuring Huang Junlang's free economic foundation, although sometimes they would "secretly ridicule" Huang Junlang to pretend to be high.
For life, it is down-to-earth but not pessimistic, insisting on doing what you like to do; for fame and fortune, being in Vanity Fair, but not chasing. Perhaps in Huang Junlang's heart, the most comfortable thing is not to be that free self?
