The late musician Pho Duc Phuong was enthusiastic about working as the copyright holder for the music.

I visited musician Pho Duc Phuong in a house located in a small alley on Au Co. Street. After a hospital stay for cancer, he went home to receive treatment with a new regimen.

Long time no see, honestly a little surprised to see it at first. The appearance changed unexpectedly, but when he spoke, the author Tuu ca was unmistakable.

New writing period

Music is still the beginning of the story. She said of a new period in writing: “It came about gradually, without a prior intention. First, it was just a sudden emotion, and then a clearer orientation. But in the past, what do I think, do?” Everything comes “.

In addition to her most famous songs, it all started with a request from mid-1999. “Suddenly, the idea for Song of the Lost Bird came up when Minh Anh urgently asked to write a reference song. National festival of professional acting.” Later, Minh Anh parted ways with the 3A trio and joined the Thang Long Music and Dance Theater.

After finishing the outline ideas, the author immediately picked up the phone: “Wow, I’m done, come here!” Not only did Minh Anh arrive right away, but he also pulled his mother and sister. It was midnight. The first staging on stage with only voice and drums brought the singer the third personal VHC.

This is a rare Vietnamese song for a god to speak:

“I fly through time from the time of my childhood / Flight through space, the sea is wide and high / I pass through the visible realm, I enter the land of no vision / Heavy mistress / Restless that the descendants of my descent / Overflight the floors are full of greed, full of cravings / to the point of hardship, dark hardships / Flying through ups and downs, many dynastic kingdoms / Little benefits of falling in love make life “…

Musician Pho Duc Phuong enthusiastically worked as copyright holder

And it wasn’t until almost 20 years later that Pho Duc Phuong continued that inspiration (simply because in between the two songs, it was the time when he stopped writing music, went to explore copyrighted work from 2000 to 2018) with Hoa Lu. . Great exercise written by order of Ninh Binh province on the 10th anniversary of Dinh Tien Hoang’s throne.

In addition to praising the work of defeating the 12 warlords and unifying the country, the musician boldly organized an artistic exercise, showing the king’s caution about the danger of a foreign invasion:

“Me and you on high we obey the sky, under the hearts of the people everywhere to suppress the confusion / Peace from the South, watch the North / Let our country depart from here in a unilateral relationship, complete national unity / Resistance eternal signature “…

The performance of the Me Linh drums on stage at the Pho Duc Phuong Khuc musical night in July 2020 at the Hanoi Opera House. Most of the artists who participated in the musical night donated to the musicians who were receiving radiotherapy at the hospital.

As the excerpt from the previous post, this part, the singer also has to say the same. The song first performed by Tung Duong at the grand celebration was attended by three general secretaries, Nong Duc Manh, Le Kha Phieu and Nguyen Phu Trong.

“The time of the sky and the world”, people also draw. He received successive contracts to write epic stories for Military Region 3, then the General Political Bureau. After being born in about 3-4 years, there are 7-8 works with a beat of Bach Dang, the epic song of the holy river, Forever Vietnam, The Oath of the Hoa River (a Tran Hung Dao) to the Me Linh Oath Association (About Trung Vuong) … Hearing these theatrical songs, it feels like a supernatural being has entered, he borrowed music from Pho’s family to convey the message.

But in fact: “I just know how hard, tough and willing to express my feelings. Later, people and I even realized that maybe like this, but I was not guided in some way. It is direct, easy to see. As I am still a bare-eyed person, I don’t know anything, I go to temples, I go to holy places and I don’t feel anything, ”said Pho Duc Phuong.

As a result, he fell ill, when he realized that he had an unfinished mission: “Thinking about it, I was moved and trembled: Musicizing all the golden pages of Vietnam. Then it became even possible to say one of the motivations that made me heal to complete “.

Order of life

Almost all of Pho Duc Phuong’s hit songs have a request, not from an art group is also a province.

“Romantic like the old man who never commissioned it, he only writes for romantic love,” said the musician. “But ordering is professional. Besides, it is a responsibility with life. Of course there is another side where there is the suffering of having to go for food.”

But thanks to that, he was able to keep five people at home to study and still have money to buy two pieces of land. When he started working as a copyright holder, he no longer had that much wealth.

Pho Duc Phuong: “When you have the courage, stubbornness in writing, language, appearance, you will continue to write everywhere. Write about subjects and requirements, your courage will continue to be transcending that subject, standing above reality. And as such, you just have to enrich ”.

Now it seems that for the first time he ordered himself, defining himself as a great inspiration rooted in history. Considering himself a “citizen musician” he must have “responsibility for the country, the history and the ancestral saints who have made glorious careers in this country.” And of course, if life orders (him) love songs like Chay al río or En la casa comunal, he is still ready.

The musician Pho Duc Phuong has written many dramatic and dramatic stories (illustrations).

A question that I burned myself before going to see it: if you knew that later you got seriously ill, would you spend all your time composing instead of doing copyright?

A moment of silence, then he quietly: “What’s next? How do I know? Copyright is a waste of music time for him, but it’s really a price. The copyright race It’s not that dazzling, but without a very knowledgeable person living and dying for it, it’s not as good as it is right now. This one who’s really deep in the profession feels such.

“It wouldn’t be like this, without Mr. Pho Duc Phuong, no matter how much controversy he has. So I have to sacrifice myself. And to say a little more, the Vietnamese music scene and music lovers Men have to suffer the same sacrifice ”.

He doesn’t regret that 18 years can equate to “a dozen songs in a lifetime” to pursue a larger purpose and meaning: benefit all musicians, then they have the motivation for more jobs.

Call the heart

While I was waiting for Pho Duc Phuong to work with the physical therapist, I saw an Osho on the water table in the living room. It turned out that the owner’s author’s bedside pillow. “I’ve been reading for 15 years. There were days when I was working on copyright, with Osho at night. Great. Mostly wonderful,” he murmured.

Due to his heart, he was broken, wanted to show off to his friends and was afraid that they would not pay. Finally, he decided to share with his three colleagues who were literary people: Nguyen Khac Phuc, Tran Ninh Ho, and Vu Quan Phuong. Thus, he always endured. Of course, Pho Duc Phuong asked for a license, but it took so long that after receiving the book 6-7 years later, she didn’t know if it really was the book she loaned. According to him, Osho published much later, but mixed even the unqualified translations there.

Turning a page from an Osho book, I saw some lines: “Courage is a very interesting word derived from Latin which means ‘to live with the heart’. And only the weak live by reason.”

Pho Duc Phuong must have lived by that motto.
