'Secret files' about singer Cam Ly's strange husband

On Cam Ly's birthday, I would like to publish the secret file of "Minh mua bui" - the strange husband of singer Cam Ly.

It would be a mistake to mention Nguyen Nhat Huy - Cam Ly withThe person at the end of the streetwithout mentioning "Minh the dusty rain"

The biggest impression on me was the first time I met Mr. Minh. After reading the articleThe person at the end of the street, he opened the cupboard and gave me enough money to buy a tael of 9999 gold at that time, with the suggestion to "put the song on"The person at the end of the streetExclusive rights for young singer Cam Ly to sing for 2 years''.

After that "valuable and crazy" decision, young singer Cam Ly became a music star, and I became a "Top Ten Blue Wave musician" with a series of songs:The person returning at the end of the street, Lonely night, Strange shore, Missing a stranger, The teacher, Deserted wharf, Afternoon clouds, Love in pain, Only memories remain.

Not only that, singer Cam Ly is also the wife of "Minh mua bui" until now.

One of the strange marks that makes me and the music industry call "Minh Mua Bui" "the devil cries like a god" is his ability to "predict the fate" of a song and the future of a musician just by holding a manuscript in his hand.

At that time, the phone number of "Minh Mua Bui" was a mystery. I couldn't find it so I asked Hoai An to help me. He had to contact a journalist and then go around to another musician to get the phone number.

After a week of waiting, Hoai An and I had a fateful meeting with the "music boss" at Kim Loi Studio. After holding my and Hoai An's song stack in his hands, the first thing Minh said was: "Now you two go home so I can have a private meeting and if anything happens, I will call you to inform you of the results."

I discussed with Hoai An to find a restaurant within a 500m radius nearby to wait so that when the phone call came, we could run there immediately. And as I predicted, less than an hour later we received a call to "negotiate the price".

I remember clearly that day was an evening in 1999, the famous owner of Kim Loi Studio at that time declared exclusive rights to my compositions with the copyright price of 4 million VND per song, first of allPeople at the end of the street.I immediately took 4 million to the gold shop on Cach Mang Thang Tam street to buy a tael of 9999 gold.

My joy of "catching gold" was nothing compared to the excitement of waiting for the song to be recorded. One day, Minh called me to ask for the song.The person at the end of the streetCan I give it to a young singer?... I gave the song hoping Lam Truong - Phuong Thanh or Minh Thuan - famous singers at that time - would sing it, so saying "a young singer" was beyond my wishes.

But because I had already received the money and signed an exclusive contract for Kim Loi to use it, I considered it as "blindly jumping in". Mr. Minh added: "The articleThe person at the end of the streetwill bring in a new arranger to do it".

I heard it like being struck by lightning twice, because the composer accounts for 50% of the song's success. Kim Loi always invited composers Manh Trinh, Bao Chan, and Duc Tri to do it regularly at that time, but how could I bear to give the song to a new composer.

After listening to it, I had trouble sleeping for several nights because I didn't know the song.The person at the end of the streetwhere will go. Then one fine day Minh called me to listen to the song. And when I entered the studio, I heard the intro and was shocked.

When hearing a female voice whispering softly like a silk ribbon, saying: "Gmy tears fell when you said goodbye...", the image of my ex-lover I wrote a song forThe person at the end of the streetas if appearing through each lyric. I understood that I had met my soul mate in music here, that was Cam Ly - the young singer that Mr. Minh mentioned last time.

Since then, the couple Cam Ly - Nguyen Nhat Huy have been together in a series of articles:The person returning at the end of the street, Strange shore, Missing a stranger, The teacher, Deserted wharf, Love in pain.

It can be said that the time working with "Minh mua bui" was a romantic, happy, sublime and highest-earning period in my music career, with the salary for each song being worth one tael of 9999 gold.

However, I also had a few hard times because I was "tricked" into being an actress when filming a music video with Cam Ly. There were times when I got the role and then realized that I was pulling a cart for the singer to get married. But the most memorable was when "Minh mua bui" and Cam Ly were angry with each other. I wasted phone money trying to talk to one person and then turning to beg the other...

One time, I was so tired that I fell asleep while explaining to Cam Ly on the phone until almost midnight, making Minh nervous about his girlfriend's reaction. So that night, he couldn't sleep either.

Back then, I sometimes wished that those two would get angry with each other so that they could "have something to do" - call each other to "gossip" and make peace. In return, after they were no longer angry, they would go out to eat and drink until they were tired.
