Character story

Writing songs belongs to the unintentional

Ma Zhaojun's family is in business, and he studied business in University. "If I'm not a music merchant, I hope I'm not at home. Ha ha, do you think I look like a unscrupulous businessman? "Ma Zhaojun said humorously.

Ma Zhaojun has always believed that writing his own songs is a matter of no intention. When he was in college, he thought it was very handsome to watch others play guitar, so he decided to learn guitar himself. In this way, it's easier to catch up with girls, because he is ugly, so he always has to have a skill to attract and please girls. As a result, when he learned guitar, he walked along the road of music uncontrollably for more than 20 years.

Ma Zhaojun said that at that time, a lot of Western songs and Japanese songs were popular in Taiwan, and the Chinese lyrics were all translated. Their young people couldn't accept them. At the same time, they were greatly stimulated and inspired by the emergence of a band like Wenner in Hong Kong. They were also Chinese. Why can't we write our own songs?

Later, Ma Zhaojun's songs were appreciated by the Polaroid company, and soon signed an agreement with him. Three months after entering Polaroid, Ma Zhaojun began to make records for many singers.

Two low ebbs made him escape from music

Ma Zhaojun helped many famous singers in Taiwan to make records, including Teresa Teng, Liu Wenzheng, Feng Feifei, and so on. As their master behind the scenes, Ma Zhaojun is becoming more and more popular producer. Under the fame, the contradiction also follows.

More and more people are looking for him to write and produce songs, and the company is constantly putting pressure on him to make songs that guarantee sales. The original favorite music has become a day-to-day work, and the pleasure of writing and making songs has become an order placed by customers on the assembly line, which must be completed and can be sold at a good price in order to meet the qualified standards. Ma Zhaojun felt confused as never before. "He was about to collapse, so I decided to run away." it was about 1984. With a feeling of being squeezed out, he fled the city, escaped from music, began to travel aimlessly, wandered around with cameras, and finally spent all his hard-earned money.

This trip made Ma Zhaojun add more life experience. When he returned to the music circle, he remembered the family motto of "contentment makes happiness", and wrote down the popular song "I don't want much". He said: "I really don't want much. For me, there is no difference between eating abalone and eating radish. "

Ma Zhaojun has produced six personal records in total. After the sixth one, he doesn't want to make another record. "Acting work has killed my roots and made me feel that my roots are loosening. "He always felt that creation and production were his roots. Between 1996 and 2001, Ma Zhaojun fled and wandered again. When he got home, he thought about whether he should be a businessman. He said, "during that time, I was afraid of music, but I didn't want to go back to that environment. I wanted to get out of that circle and live a normal life. "

During this period of time, Ma Zhaojun met a woman who was a singer in pub. She warmed Ma Zhaojun's restless heart with her tenderness and true feelings. She said to him, "even if you can't write songs for 10 years, it doesn't matter, because you will write them in the future. This is your essence. "This woman later became Ma Zhaojun's wife. By the time they got married, Ma Zhaojun was in his 40s.

Making music is a pleasure

Ma Zhaojun once had a short life of frivolity. Apart from being lost in music and wandering after escaping, he also had bad habits such as drinking and smoking marijuana. When chatting with reporters, Ma Zhaojun did not hide his experiences. But he gradually disliked these behaviors. "I don't know why. I gradually feel that the wine is not so good, and it's meaningless to smoke marijuana. Gradually, I don't want to. Now it's just this --" Ma Zhaojun raised the cigarette in his hand. "Maybe I'll give up later?"

Life is on the right track, and Ma Zhaojun begins to resume his creation. However, he still does not really return to the entertainment industry today. Instead, he writes songs for his church. Most of the songs are about love, peace, care, warmth He said that in the past, when writing songs, customers placed orders and wrote them to a singer. The songs they wrote may not be suitable for any singer to sing, but everyone, men and women, old and young, can sing them. They are really popular songs.

Today, he still holds the concept of "contentment is always happiness" and "not much is needed". He said: "in the past, I used to think about whether this song can be popular. Now I feel that I can still write songs with a guitar. I enjoy it very much. Now I enjoy the process of creation. Whether it will be popular or not is not in my hands."

Ma Zhaojun's life is peaceful, peaceful and full of warmth. His wife and a pair of children often sing in church. What makes him proud is that a pair of children also inherit their parents' musical talent and sing very well. Ma Zhaojun once wrote a song for the children called "shining like a star". It was a late night. Ma Zhaojun and his children were driving along the dark mountain road. The children were very afraid. Ma Zhaojun pointed to the stars in the sky and told them
