The fire-filled debate instantly detonated the topic of Phoenix Legend, and Da Zhang Wei joked in a variety show: "The style of Phoenix Legend has changed, but the only thing that hasn't changed is Zeng Yi's singing style, and he finished singing ...... after coughing twice."Did you sing this song Zeng Yi just now? Linghua wasted no time in responding: "Of course I sang it!" Isn't that what he sings? ”
Zeng Yi seems to have become a mystery in the music scene, and the topic of "Phoenix Legend Zeng Yi" has repeatedly appeared on the Internet. On Zhihu, one of the most popular questions is: "What did Zeng Yi do in the Phoenix Legend?" This problem seems to have found the most appropriate explanation on a variety show, and people began to jokingly say that Zeng Yi's "soil" pot could be thrown at him perfectly because his "yo yo" was too small.
However, this label of "earth" is part of the self-deprecation of the Phoenix legend. Linghua once revealed on "Let's Talk" that they know that they are the leaders of the square dance industry, and now they have become "agricultural heavy metal singers". This self-deprecating attitude has become a unique feature of theirs. In a ** program "Heroes of the World", they often joke that they are the most earthy combination, and they are grateful to those students who are willing to choose them so earthy.
Zeng Yi's wife and Phoenix Legend's agent Xu Mingchao was a little unacceptable to this "earthy" image. He said that he couldn't stand the exaggerated headdress half a meter high on Linghua's head and Zeng Yi's early sunglasses + bald head + leather coat. In the third **, he mercilessly stifled the national style of killing Matt in "On the Moon", making the Phoenix legend more towards the urban style. Nowadays, their image has become much simpler, and Xu Mingchao is no longer deliberate about dress and styling.
However, this self-deprecation and identification with the "earth" label is one of the keys to the success of Phoenix Legend. Their songs are easy to understand, the lyrics are straightforward and easy to remember, and the melody is catchy, which makes them dare not easily engage in high-level arrangements at the concert, for fear that the audience will complain that "I don't know where to enter, I can't sing along".
The success of the Phoenix Legend cannot be underestimated. In a variety show "Tucao Conference", they were persuaded by the guests to fly solo, one to shout microphone, and the other to maintain the status quo, which seems to be a win-win strategy. However, they insisted on not flying alone, because they understood that it was this "earthy" and "yoyo" style that made them legends in the Chinese music scene. They don't need fans, they just need an audience. This audience is the majority of ordinary people, who do not pursue the height of art, but only pursue the happiness of finding that moment in **.
In this ridiculed debate, Zeng Yi seems to have become the biggest loser. However, he was an integral part of the history of the Phoenix saga. His "yo yo" became one of the group's most distinctive signatures, and he played an important role in the tune. Although he was ridiculed as "that man", it was this man who made the Phoenix legend more plump.
Overall, Phoenix Legend has successfully detonated the Chinese music scene in its own unique way. Their ** style, straightforward lyrics, and dynamic melody have become representatives of the Chinese popular music scene.
Although they are put on the hat of "earth", this is their greatest charm.
