My Story
3 Turning
Points
My Beliefs
Hello, I am PeiLing Ngan (Lyn). Project Ling is an ongoing personal project that documents my journey of self-improvement. It delves into my areas of interest in music, marketing and management.
I strongly believe that dreams and practicality are not mutually exclusive entities. The ability to dream is lovely, especially in our passion-driven creative industry. However, sustaining and materialising them is a long process which can become wearisome when reality bites. Hence, other than continuous hard work, it is important to find a community of people (formal or informal) with the same goal/passion to go on the journey with. From there, one can tap into others’ strengths to progress further.
In my life, there were three turning points.
-
Back in secondary school, I was tasked to shorten the music track for a performance, which got me experimenting with audio editing software. I was intrigued that music is not just about playing instruments; producing long-lasting hits that people would enjoy required a much wider range of skills and knowledge. These sealed my decision to pursue a diploma in music and audio technology.
-
After graduation, friends started to pursue their dreams. Some saw their dreams buckle under the weight of reality, some compromised and switched career path, while a remaining few tapped into the strengths of their resources and achieved remarkable results.
-
In the process of helping to set up Stari Entertainment’s Shanghai headquarters, I realised the importance of cultural intelligence. Although there were common goals and no language barrier, I learnt that in working with people, I sought to understand first, before being understood.
As globalisation opens up more market opportunities and expands the talent pool, I believe we should increase our tolerance for uncertainty and learn to pool together our resources to anchor our dreams to reality.
With my experiences in music, media, business marketing, and living and working with people from different cultures, I believe that we can and have to work together to lift the music business model to a new level in this digital age.
我的故事
三个转折点

哈咯！欢迎来到我的网站。 玲计划是一个持续记录我个人成长项目的舒适区。 它会收藏着我感兴趣的领域 - 音乐，影视，营销和管理 。
我坚信梦想和实在感不是有一无二的。 拥有梦想的能力是优美的，特别是在我们这个激情驱动的创意产业。 然而，坚持和实现它们是一个漫长的过程，尤其是当现实把你压的喘不过气时。 因此，除了不断的努力之外，重要的是要找到一群有相同目标/激情的人去起程。 从那里可以一起奋斗，取长补短，同时也会越走越远。
在我的生活中，有三个转折点。
-
中学时，老师给我一个缩短表演歌曲的任务，这让我第一次尝试了音频编辑软件。当时的我感到新奇，因为音乐不仅仅是演奏乐器而已，制作出歌曲的背后更需要广泛的技能和知识。这也令我决定到理工学院就读音乐和音频技术。
-
理工学院毕业后，朋友们都开始追求自己的梦想。有一些追梦的朋友们在现实的压力下屈服了，一些决定妥协转换了职业道路，另一些朋友利用身边的资源优势，取得了不错的成效。

在帮助建立星韬娱乐公司上海总部过程中，我意识到文化意识的重要性。尽管有共同的目标，没有任何语言障碍，在多文化工作领域里，拥有文化意识和建立良好关系是很重要的。
随着全球化开启更多的市场机会，人才也越来越国际化，我相信我们应该加大对不确定性因素的容忍度，学会集中资源，把梦想变为现实。
希望在音乐与影视制作，商业营销方面的经验，以及与不同文化背景的人士共同生活和工作的经验， 我们共同努力，在这个数字时代将音乐业务模式提升到一个新的水平。
