They used to be a symbol of the earth, a national group that could be hummed by men, women and children in the streets. Now they are the pinnacle of elegance, a new combination that no one dares to touch lightly, but the stage is still majestic.
The legend of the phoenix has changed from the lead singer of Linghua to the lead singer of Zeng Yi, although the song is no longer so earthy, but it is no longer so easy to sing, and everyone realized that Zeng Yi was the real boss.
Han Hong once ridiculed Zeng Yi as the easiest singer to make money in China, but she never despised him, because she knew that these two people were worthy of the words "Phoenix" and "Legend".
What is Zeng Yi's charm that makes Linghua willing to earn him "Linghua" money? Are they really only on fire because of the "soil"?
Shenzhen, a city full of magic. At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, pop songs blossomed here in the city, and many of today's most famous stars used to sing here.
This is also the place where Zeng Yi and Linghua's fate began. 18-year-old Linghua knocked on the door of Shenzhen's "Golden Age" song and dance hall with her dream, and also opened the title page of her and Zeng Yi's extraordinary lives.
Zeng Yi, only 25 years old, has become"The Golden Age"The ** director of the dance hall, but also the protagonist on the stage. With yellow hair and a leather jacket, he showed a typical image of a gangster.
When Linghua first arrived, she could only play for the "ugly man" Zeng Yi and served as a backup dancer and singer. In fact, Reika's strength can completely surpass this kind of marginal work, but she has no complaints and works without impatience.
This stable mentality is one of the reasons why she was able to become popular in the future.
When Zeng Yi first saw Linghua's singing strength, his first reaction was not "The backing singer is so good, I can't let her steal my place", but "Her talent can't be buried, I should help her succeed".
Zeng Yi is a sincere and unjealous person, imagine if he was once afraid that Linghua would replace him, then how things would have developed?
This kind of character also allows him to accept Reihua's "favor" for many years with peace of mind in the future, and even if he is questioned by everyone, he does not have the slightest idea of blaming Reihua.
Zeng Yi and Linghua formed a ** group, and they named their group "Cool Fire" to show their ambition and innovative thinking.
Zeng Yi's eyes follow the trend, and he and Linghua also strive to shape their appearance into the style of Korean singers.
However, despite their efforts, their combination is not associated with Hallyu by most people because Zeng's appearance does not meet the aesthetic standards of Hallyu.
In the early Cool Fire group, Zeng Yi served as the lead singer, and Linghua had relatively few singing parts. This is not Zeng Yi's intention to suppress Linghua, but based on the consideration of singing level.
Reihua is prone to over-excitement when singing, which affects the rhythm. And they began to practice"Fifty-five split accounts"Although Zeng Yi put more effort into the performance, he never explicitly calculated the distribution of income with Linghua.
In order to find the best form of singing, Zeng Yi and Linghua tried a variety of ways, and finally decided that Linghua was the lead singer and Zeng Yi sang with him, which marked the initial formation of the Phoenix legend.
Despite Reihua's unique voice, the competitive music scene has made it difficult for them to stand out due to their constant covers of other people's songs.
However, fortunately, ** producer He Muyang saw Linghua's potential and invited her to sing his new work "The Man Who Misses You".
However, Linghua turned down this good opportunity because there was no part of the song that Zeng Yi did. Despite this, He Muyang still insisted and adapted the song to suit their combination.
At the same time, he also gave the song a new name, "On the Moon".
Zeng Yi and I are the same combination, and we can't sign them separately. ”
In desperation, Chen Rentai had no choice but to sign Linghua and Zeng Yi together, although it was a seemingly loss-making deal for him, a businessman, but for the development of Linghua and Zeng Yi, he still chose to gamble.
The results were beyond his expectations, the two singers signed have achieved very high popularity and influence, and he no longer sees Zeng Yi as a giveaway, but as an indispensable partner.
After Linghua and Zeng Yi signed a contract with Peacock Media, they officially changed their name to "Phoenix Legend" and participated in the CCTV grassroots selection competition "Avenue of Stars". With their outstanding performances, they made it all the way and eventually won the runner-up that year.
Although they have gained a lot of attention on the Walk of Fame, this does not translate into commercial opportunities right away, and their performance opportunities are very limited.
In the most difficult period, the income from the performance could no longer meet the basic needs of life, so Zeng Yi had to go out to borrow money to solve the problem. Interestingly, every time he borrowed money back, he would divide it equally with Linghua.
In an interview, Linghua said: "When we borrowed money, we had agreed to divide it equally, and now that we make money, of course, we must share it equally." Phoenix Legend is a combination, and none of us would have been able to get to where we are today without each other. ”
The mobile company had a discerning eye and chose "Over the Moon" as the background of the CRBT advertisement**, which was an instant hit, making the fame of the Phoenix Legend soar.
The melody of this song is catchy, and the lyrics are simple and easy to remember, which makes it quickly popular.
Phoenix Legend took advantage of the momentum and successively launched a series of songs with catchy melodies and strong sense of rhythm, such as "Lang's **" Free Flying, "Sky Blue Blue", etc., which are deeply loved by the public and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Although the song of the Phoenix Legend was a big hit, it was labeled as "earth", in fact, this is not the problem of the song itself, but because the song is widely sung, so that it has become a common memory of the public.
At that time, "Over the Moon" became the default ringtone for many mobile phones, and even many farmers and workers used the song as their ringtone.
As a result, some people label this song and other songs of the Phoenix saga as "earthy".
However, this does not mean that these songs have no value in themselves, just that they have become a common memory and choice for the masses.
Phoenix Legend tried to get rid of the "earthy" impression, so when making a commercial single for Gionee mobile phone, they chose the Chinese-style golden song "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond".
The lyrics are elegant, and the Phoenix Legend is full of expectations, hoping that this song will change people's impression of them.
However, although the song itself is full of Chinese style, the image of "summer lotus pond" has not been able to get rid of the label of "earthy", and the image of lotus flowers has not been free from the impression of "elegant" for a long time.
Phoenix Legend looks down on the outside world's perception, and they believe that everyone has the right to appreciate **, whether it is the rustic toiling masses or others.
They are even willing to go to the countryside to perform at farmhouses, and even if they are told that they are dirty, they will gladly accept it without the slightest arrogance.
Although the song of the Phoenix saga is considered to be"Soil"But this view only exists in the perception of Chinese people.
Their original song "The Most Dazzling National Style" was selected by the NBA as the warm-up song, becoming the first group to sing Chinese songs in the NBA.
This song is very magical, it makes people want to listen to it a second time after listening to it once, and the sense of rhythm is very strong, so it has become the first choice for square dancing**. As a result, their songs are once again spreading through the streets and alleys, everywhere.
In the past ten years when the Phoenix Legend has been prosperous, in addition to soil, Zeng Yi's singing participation has often been ridiculed by everyone. Some people joked that Zeng Yi made money so easily that he only had to sing twice in the song"Yo yo", you can succeed with Linghua.
But in fact, the success of the Phoenix Legend is not accidental, Zeng Yi's"Yo"and the seemingly casual rap all reflect his professionalism.
Linghua's early singing experience was not rich enough, and it was easy to be unstable when singing live, so Zeng Yi was needed"Yo yo"to help her get back into shape and bring out the show perfectly.
On the stage of Zhejiang Satellite TV's "Praise for the Song", the adapted track "Under the Sea" of Phoenix Legend is like a shining light, leading everyone who wants to escape from this world to find hope.
This song also brought unexpected surprises to countless listeners, who were amazed that the Phoenix Legend was no longer "rustic", and even more surprised that the Phoenix Legend still had such a moving power.
Phoenix Legend's new work "Mountains and Rivers" completely subverted people's perception of them, and after changing the lead singer, they showed an unprecedented majestic atmosphere.
Zeng Yi's singing makes people seem to see a picture of the country and the mountains unfolding in front of him, and the scene of the Haiyan River is amazing.
The only regret is that the singing of this song is too difficult, and I may never go back to the time when I used to hum casually on KTV.
It is enough to have a confidant in life. Linghua and Zeng Yi are such a pair of tacit friends, they appreciate each other, recognize each other, and become each other's Bole.
The most touching thing is that they have a very generous attitude towards money, always adhere to the "fifty-fifty shares", and firmly believe that this is the purest and fairest way to distribute.
Linghua is not bothered by money, and Zeng Yi is not moved by fame and fortune. Their attitude towards life is "rare and confused, Buddhist", and this mentality allows them to maintain a normal heart, and finally achieve today's glory.
