What do you not know about the smash hit Phoenix Legend?

Phoenix Legend's songs always give people a loud and clear feeling. From "Above the Moon" to the square dance hit "The Most Dazzling National Style", what changes is the change of seasons, but what remains unchanged is the singer's feelings.

When their songs become popular, scandals and rumors will naturally come to visit, and a series of gossips such as "the relationship between the two has broken down" and "the man does not deserve the 50-50 salary" begins.

This year’s Lantern Festival party, some people even took the opportunity to hype it up.

Since their debut, the two have been close and good partners. Why can't they become a couple as they are almost close friends?

01

"We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but if we are not destined to meet each other, it is difficult to hold hands." This is the right thing to say about Phoenix Legend.

Yang Wei Linghua, who was born in the Ordos prairie, chose to work in Guangdong after failing the exams in literary and art groups such as Window of the World and Folk Village.

Prior to this, Zeng Yi was strongly opposed by his family. At that time, Zeng Yi was an employee of Huaqiangbei. Tired of the worker's life, he decided to use his singing talent to find a job in a karaoke bar.

At that time, there was a song and dance hall called Golden Age in Shenzhen. The owner of the song and dance hall was Zeng Yi’s friend. Zeng Yi naturally became the music director of this karaoke hall.

At this time, Yang Wei Linghua, who came from the north, was looking for a job like a novice. She happened to see the job of recruiting resident singers in the dance hall, so Yang Wei Linghua ran to this dance hall to apply for the job.

Everything was a coincidence. After singing the first song after applying for the job, Zeng Yi was conquered by this girl from the grassland. Her singing voice is loud and high-pitched, and if she can stay in the dance hall, she will definitely bring considerable profits in the future.

At that time, Zeng Yi particularly liked a Korean singer named Ku Long, and he decided to lead Linghua to create a new group: Ku Huo Group. (Now it sounds a bit like killing Matt)

This group became the mainstay of the golden era. During the four-hour performance every day, the two of them became the most shining presence in the audience. Under Zeng Yi's arrangement, Golden Age quickly became a famous song and dance hall in Shenzhen at that time.

As they gained more and more fame, the two plucked up the courage to participate in the "Guangdong Radio and Television Music Festival". When everyone was talking about it, they emerged like dark horses, won the Newcomer Award and successfully entered the finals.

Entering the finals means being strong, and it also means being able to meet more like-minded friends. As expected, a singer named Zhang Jie joined a year later.

In order to make people remember the name of the group better, they made a prompt decision and changed "Cool Fire Group" to "Nervous Group". Others thought that the group's name was crazy enough, but they just I just want the group to be refreshed.

But unfortunately, in just one year, Zhang Jie quit the group because she couldn't stand the high-intensity work, and suddenly returned to the original appearance.

Everything seems to be destined. From getting acquainted to becoming famous, the two helped each other along the way.

A musician named He Muyang wanted to find a girl in Shenzhen who could sing with great energy. Before that, he had heard about a fellow from Hunan who worked in the Golden Age. He must have good resources.

After coming to the golden age, he met Zeng Yi. Under Zeng Yi’s introduction, he met Linghua. He Muyang was stunned after listening to the song she sang. He found that this girl’s voice was like the sound of nature. Coupled with the male voice, it's a perfect match.

He Muyang immediately decided to let the two of them try out "Above the Moon". It was originally a soothing song, but the two of them sang it like a rap. At that time, He Muyang didn't even know what it was. When it comes to rap, I just think this way of singing sounds good.

This song brought warmth to the SARS epidemic at that time. They only knew that doing so was doing their best, but they never thought that because of this song, they created ethnic music and rap music. The first combination also made them popular.

After singing the song, Linghua became idle and bored. It was at this time that their "Above the Moon" was noticed by the boss of Guangdong Peacock Records. At that time, Zeng Yi said: "Whatever you decide, I will decide to accompany you."

At that time, there was a game called Legend that was very popular all over the country. When Linghua was playing hard, her manager came up and said: "The crazy group should change their name to Phoenix Legend! If it doesn't work, just call it Phoenix Legend."

After much thought, legend was better, so I simply changed its name to "Phoenix Legend".

At that time, Linghua became the most popular person in the company, but Zeng Yi, who also accompanied him to the company, has always been in the dark. Later, while drinking, Zeng Yi learned from the drunk boss, He turned out to be a product of "buy one, get one free".

That is to say, without Linghua’s persistence, Zeng Yi would never have been able to share the stage with Linghua.

Yes! Most of people's eyes are fixed on Linghua in the Phoenix Legend group, but you must know that without Zeng Yi, Linghua would not have been able to get where she is today.

In the two years when Phoenix Legend first became famous, they didn't make much money. Every time they saw that the funds were not enough to support the group, it was Zeng Yi who had to borrow money to run around.

When making money, Zeng Yi generously said that he would share the dividends equally. I don’t know if he has love for Linghua, but the responsibility and responsibility of this kind of man is really commendable.

The combination later became successful, and they participated in various programs and appeared on various variety shows. The two people also experienced huge changes in the audience's perspective. After they officially became famous, the public opinion that "Zeng Yi makes money easily" It just never stopped.

"Forget it, let's distribute according to work from now on! The voices of the people outside are so fierce." Zeng Yi had spoken to Linghua more than once.

"No, it must be 50-50. Since it is a combination, there is no priority." Zeng Yi was deeply moved by Linghua's answer.

In fact, Zeng Yi also sings sometimes, but in this group, there are too few opportunities for him to sing. In order to keep the group popular for a long time, he must make sacrifices.

They were so innocent. They had no idea how deep the water was in the entertainment industry. Later, the two participated in "Avenue of Stars". That year, their "The Most Dazzling National Style" was defeated by Abao. .

Although they were the runner-up, Phoenix Legend's momentum was not inferior to that of Abao. Their "Above the Moon" was later covered by Ji Minjia, and for a while it became the song in people's ringtones.

So they are simple, even if others infringe their rights, they don’t know how to defend it.

As the song heated up, they received an invitation to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. However, the good times did not last long. The article ""Above the Moon" is suspected of plagiarizing British songs" spread quickly, and was in the minds of countless people. After refuting the rumors, they still missed the Spring Festival Gala stage.

In 2010, the two's new song "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" came out. The song once again swept the country and became a "brainwashing song". Discussions about the two people spread.

"When did you two get married? Are you really a team and friends?"

"We are just a group and good friends. We have tried to date each other since we debuted so long ago, but we really don't feel the same." Linghua said.

In 2011, the two actually revealed the good news of their marriage, which disappointed fans who had imagined that the two would eventually get married.

From 2007 to 2020, Phoenix Legend has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala eight times. Speaking of this group, it is really interesting.

From the time they met until they had a family, even though there were bad rumors, they were still willing to help each other. Yes, if one of them had selfish intentions, the Phoenix Legend would also It’s impossible to get to where we are today.

Some people say that their people and works are also ordinary, but who can guarantee that you have not heard their songs?

Their songs are not vulgar as those "elegant people" say, but are down-to-earth and easy to understand. This is how national songs should be, right?

Every song they create must be carefully polished. For "The Most Dazzling National Style", it actually took a year and a half from the lyrics and music to the subsequent instrument arrangement. This is not "poor and fastidious" , but strive for excellence.

But now, the news about Phoenix Legend is all about "Linghua's solo career". After getting married, both of them have their own families, and it is impossible for them to concentrate on creation as before.

It is undeniable that this is a shortcoming of celebrities, and it is also an important factor why many celebrities hesitate to get married. Secondly, Phoenix Legend is indispensable as a combination.

Their current living conditions are indeed very different. A woman marries a wealthy businessman husband and can also receive a 50/50 dividend, so naturally she has no worries about food and clothing, while a man wants to support himself with a 50/50 dividend. The family is having a hard time supporting themselves.
