If all songs in China can receive full royalties, then "Phoenix Legends" must be the richest group in Asia.
The masterpiece "Above the Moon" set a record of 79 million CRBT downloads, becoming the most downloaded CRBT in the Chinese music scene.
"The Most Dazzling National Style" swept the market of square dance aunts, and became the annual divine comedy three years after its release.
And the "Phoenix Legend" group has always been accompanied by such a label, their songs on the one hand red to become big and north, but also been ridiculed "soil", so that after many years, the Phoenix Legend is almost not welcomed by young people, as if listening to the Phoenix Legend, it will be hooked with "soil", most of the time it will be hidden.
On Li's program, there is a description that is very graphic.
Then their songs are very "earthy", but they are not.
Last year, on their variety show "Praise for Songs", Phoenix Legend adapted the song "Under the Sea", and received 30 million plays on the small broken station to occupy the top spot.
The original song expressed "giving up struggle and desperately lying flat" of "Under the Sea", but after the adaptation of the Phoenix Legend, the song changed its gloomy style.
Under Ling Hua's voice, it seemed like a glimmer of light penetrated in the desperate suffocation of the sea, and Zeng Yi's singing style while humai was like a sharp blade that repelled the boundless darkness, and the final chorus directly reached a climax.
Zeng Yi, who is often ridiculed as "Yo Yo Brother", also won back Yicheng this time.
After the result was sung, netizens gave a very high evaluation, but this well-received song was only 45 votes from the 100-person jury on the variety show, and the final ranking was the first to last.
More young judges said bluntly, "This song is too phoenix legendary", suggesting that they sang a bit of "earth", and sang a gloomy confessional song full of power, which has the meaning of destroying the original song.
But everyone's ears are real, and in just a few days, this song has become popular on major music platforms, becoming the last divine comedy of fire after the show began filming
The phoenix legend's response is very calm, from black to its own song is based on the style of "agricultural heavy metal".
The reason why Ling Hua deliberately chose this "Under the Sea" from these more than twenty alternatives is to tell everyone that whether it is sadness and hope, it is a kind of strength, the power of life.
Judging from the achievements created by this song, the songs before the Phoenix Legend can also become treasures, but we have not discovered it.
The mountain and river map praises the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and the majestic singing method is like a landscape painting, which jumps out in front of you.
If you let go of the impetuous mood and slowly appreciate, the creation of the songs "Lotus Pond Moonlight" and "Above the Moon" is absolutely first-class.
So the times have passed, but the "taste" of the Phoenix legend has also been passed down to this day.
If you want to say which male singer in China is the easiest to make money, it is Zeng Yi, Han Hongdu once ridiculed.
Each time the live Linghua sang hard, Zheng Yi occasionally came to two sentences: "Yo yo", you can share half of the money.
As a national group of only two people who debuted for more than 20 years, his sense of existence is almost close to zero, and netizens call him "Yo Yo Brother".
The aunt who dances in the square every day can recognize Linghua at a glance, but regards Zeng Yi as an assistant.
Therefore, the Phoenix Legend has been ridiculed as "LingHua and casual a man".
So why did Ling Hua, who contributed the most, insist on splitting it with Zeng Yi?
Back in 1988, Zeng Yi, who was still a worker, left his hometown of Hunan and went to Shenzhen to join his friends in order to realize his musical dream.
A friend runs a dance hall, and Zeng Yi became the music director of the dance hall.
At the same time, Linghua, a girl from Inner Mongolia, also came to this dance hall to apply for a dancer.
Zeng Yi likes to sing, and usually in addition to being busy with management work, he will also sing on stage himself, and Linghua is one of his accompaniment dancers.
The next year, he pulled Linghua and another colleague to rent a group, the name is very non-mainstream called "hair nerve".
But the three persisted for two years, and there was no wave, and another colleague also lost confidence and left the group, and Later Zeng Yi renamed the group "Cool Fire".
The original Phoenix Legend lead singer and planner were all undertaken by Zeng Yi, who also withstood great pressure, not only to run for his livelihood, but also to have a younger brother in the family who needed to support himself.
Whenever the combination almost collapsed, it was Zeng Yi who borrowed money from his friends to maintain it, and when the combination was divided, Zeng Yi insisted on half a point, and Ling Hua was also impressed by him, Ling Hua said, "The money is borrowed by you to spend together, and the money will be half divided in the future."
With their persistence, in 2003, by chance, the boss of Peacock Records saw the performance of the cool fire group, and he was attracted by this new way of singing.
It took five million to package Linghua, but only wanted to sign Linghua, and Linghua at that time resolutely replied: "We are a combination, either sign two together, or don't want to", Peacock took Linghua no way, had to agree to sign two people together.
So as Linghua became more and more popular, Zeng Yi also followed along with the red, until 2003 they participated in the "Walk of Fame", won the championship in one fell swoop, and also made the two popular, and the combination of "Phoenix Legend" was also popular all over the country.
A "plagiarism storm" of that year almost made the Phoenix Legend unable to climb up.
This was the most difficult year for the Phoenix legends, and on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 2007, they were labeled as "plagiarists" and nearly buried their careers.
This year, Phoenix Legends was invited to participate in the 2007 Spring Festival Gala, which was an exciting event for them.
They put themselves in the best shape and are extremely careful about every detail.
The primary election, the re-examination, the final review, they all passed one by one, but just when they were about to step onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, a storm of suspected plagiarism of "Above the Moon" was set off on the Internet.
More than 20 media outlets have claimed that "Over the Moon" is suspected of plagiarizing British songs.
The title of the article given by these media is that the Phoenix Legend is involved in the plagiarism storm, and "Above the Moon" was driven out of the Spring Festival Gala.
How beautiful the Phoenix Legend was that year, how embarrassed they were at this time.
On February 13 of the same year, experts Li Jie and Xu Peidong identified two songs and proved that they did not have plagiarism.
Phoenix Legend was also in Beijing, and an emergency press conference was held, stating that it was not plagiarized, but no one listened to their clarification, because the controversy was too big.
It is conceivable that the impact of these titles, the Spring Festival Gala immediately withdrew the program "Above the Moon", and Zeng Yi cried that night, and all their achievements and previous efforts were in vain for a while.
The Spring Festival Gala was withdrawn, the follow-up performance was shelved, and then the matter of "Above the Moon" was clarified, but this matter brought a lot of blows to the two, until many years later, in the interview, they talked about it in a timely manner.
In 2008. Phoenix legends have successively appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and this time they finally got their wish, and then occupied a place in the Spring Festival Gala for nine consecutive years.
Their songs spread all over the country, and concerts were hard to come by.
