Huang Guolun has been wandering the mainland since 2014, and has been on many entertainment programs before and after. Many people can't figure out his identity, only know that he is a singer in Taiwan, wrote a few songs for Wang Jingwen (Faye Wong), the others are gone, oh, yes, there was a Bird's Nest concert in Beijing in 2017, anecdotal rumors, there are only 20 audiences on the scene, 7 audiences, and huang Guolun lost $11 million, $50 million and so on because of the concert.
In the real situation, Huang Guolun is indeed a Taiwanese, born in 1962, and is 59 years old today. He was not originally a singer, but an early original musician in Taiwan. There was a record company that wanted to package him as a singer when he graduated from college, but was politely refused, on the grounds that "I want to be an original musician, not a singer."
After graduating, Huang Guolun went to work as a tour guide at a beverage company, but his dream of becoming an original musician is still there. Using his free time, he immersed himself in music theory, practiced guitar hard, and finally created his first song "I Do" in 1990.
He sang the song to his friends, sang it to his co-workers, and sang it to his first girlfriend, and the reaction was quite strong, and everyone agreed that this song was not popular, and the heavens were not tolerated. Excited, he ran to the company boss's office, and Ji Yuxuan told him, "I'm not going to do it, I'm going to become famous, I'm going to be the most amazing musician in Taiwan!" "Say it, turn away." The boss looked at this back with some confusion, could it be that he was sick?
For a year, he rode a broken motorcycle from house to house to run the record company, but was rejected, on the grounds that the songs were very generally uninvited, not in line with the genre of songs like "Kiss Goodbye" and "Forget The Water", and no one would take the risk of finding a singer to make a record for a newcomer.
By the following year, Huang Guolun continued to run the record company, but was still rejected, and even accused him of not understanding humility and etiquette, too arrogant. Looking at the score of "I Do" in his hand, Huang Guolun was indignant, he thought that these record companies were mentally retarded and their brains were in the water!
In the third year, Huang Guolun ran into those record companies again to recommend his own works, but this time he did not even let the door in. Sad and depressed, Huang Guolun soberly realized that it may not be that people are stupid and mentally retarded, but that he has problems, or that he is too paranoid and boring.
In the fourth year, Huang Guolun began to hold the guitar to the door of those companies to sing "I Do". Friends and workers in the past have long left him, buying a house and buying a car, while Huang Guolun only has a broken guitar and a bunch of sheet music manuscripts, and the broken motorcycle is also sold. He sang "I Do" affectionately, singing until the depths of his love did not feel tears like rain. Finally, god opened his eyes, and a middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder and asked, "This song was written by yourself?" ”
In May 1994, Huang Guolun, as a rookie creator, presented his four-year "I Do" to the singer Wang Jingwen (Faye Wong), who was in the sky, and as soon as the song was released, sales quickly broke through 700,000 copies in Taiwan. And became the title song of Faye Wong's solo debut album "Fans". "I Do" has not only become a golden song in the Chinese music scene, but also one of the very few classics that has been translated into multi-national pop music. It can be said that Huang Guolun's "I Do" has turned Faye Wong into a diva, and also made herself a hot music producer. Starting with "I Do", "Taste", "Don't Tell Her" and so on, all easily broke through millions of sales. He turned around and became a Taiwanese gold medal producer and original music master. The following year, he was awarded the title of Taiwan's Best Creator of the Year by Commercial Radio Hong Kong. For the previous seven years, there were only two winners in Taiwan, Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng.
With money, Huang Guolun bought a new house and built a dream recording studio with the most advanced equipment. He began to give liming, Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Jacky Cheung, Zhang Xinzhe, Zheng Xiuwen, Zhou Huimin... Wait for all the kings and queens to write songs, sing, record, and do post-production. At the peak of Huang Guolun's creation, there was even an unwritten habit in the Hong Kong music scene that when coming to Taiwan, you must sing a song by Huang Guolun. Some famous singers would invite him to fly to Hong Kong and invite him to write songs for himself.
However, in those four years of struggle, Huang Guolun was emotionally depressed and worried, coupled with the embarrassment of life, he defected to Christianity, became a Christian, and served as the host of The Christian Satellite Radio in Taiwan, and his hosting style of rapping and singing allowed him to get a vote of audience members. This greatly limited his opportunities to make a show, create publicity, and participate in the performance, so that he had to be willing to go behind the scenes, honestly be a producer, and enter the trough during the period. But the fire in my heart burned all the time.
Finally, he put aside the dogma, opened a company to do concerts with great fanfare, and then formed a family when the limelight was in full swing, and married Kou Naixin, who was nine years younger than himself. It was this young daughter-in-law with Wang Fuxiang that made Huang Guolun burst with confidence, and with "artists with data volume" frequently appeared on Kou Naixin's "Kangxi Lai", and once dominated the screen. In turn, the mainland audience gradually understood and accepted this humorous and funny musician.
Since 2014, Huang Guolun has entered the dream mainland of the mainland and participated in countless variety shows, although the reputation is good and bad, but with a song, a song for Faye Wong sung "I Do" and gradually stabilized his status as an original musician and music critic. But everyone did not expect that he was not satisfied, and even wanted to become a popular singer loved by everyone. So on September 23, 2017, Beijing Bird's Nest Stadium held the first personal ticketing concert "Huang Guolun No Impossible Bird's Nest Concert", and nearly 50,000 spectators listened to the passionate singing of the 52-year-old uncle who entered the music world that night, which was later described by Taiwanese host Zhang Xiaoyan as a "miracle night".
So why is it rumored that singing has failed miserably and suffered huge losses?
Because since 2000, Huang Guolun has regained his faith, not only firmly standing on the side of God, but also changing his ways and singing for God. To this end, he also specially released the gospel album "Heaven". It is said that at the Bird's Nest concert that day, 90% of the more than 50,000 spectators were Christians from the mainland, and in order to show God's mercy, Huang Guolun lowered the ticket price of the concert, which was lower than the price of the ticket to the Bird's Nest Stadium.
Looking at Huang Guolun again, should we put on the following new labels: Taiwan's famous original musician, a funny music critic of mainland variety shows, an old-school pop singer with a god in mind, and a good husband with a good conscience with a rake ear.
