The two have a deep friendship
Over the years, when media reporters frequently questioned whether the Phoenix Legend had an improper relationship, Linghua would always smile gently and respond politely but firmly: "Everyone has their own life trajectory, and people who cooperate with each other may not be able to become husband and wife."
This sentence undoubtedly proves once again the pure working partnership between her and Zeng Yi.
But in fact, behind the brilliant careers of the two, there is a moving story of friendship. As we all know, since its inception, Phoenix Legend has always adhered to the principle of distributing income equally.
Whether it was the difficult days of the past or the fame of today, this principle has never been broken. During the recording of a variety show, someone curiously asked Linghua why she did this, and she said calmly: "We agreed from the beginning that no matter what the final income is, we must adhere to the five-five account sharing method."
This is not only a reflection of our integrity, but also a sign of trust and respect for each other.
This iron-hearted way of distributing accounts just highlights the pure friendship between Linghua and Zeng Yi that transcends ordinary people. In the artist circle, such a practice is rare, and many singers will strive for more resources and discourse for themselves when signing a contract, but Linghua and Zeng Yi have always adhered to the concept of "you have me, I have you" and divided the income equally.
The roots of this philosophy can be traced back to the time when the two first met. At that time, they were just two unknown music newcomers, struggling to make their mark in Shenzhen's dance halls.
At that time, although Linghua was born beautiful, she didn't have much acting experience, and although Zeng Yi was good at dancing, she still lacked an excellent partner. However, it was in this environment that they found each other and decided to work together to create a new musical group.
In the days that followed, they endured hardships together, struggled day and night, and although life was hard, they cultivated a deep friendship between the two. Even if sometimes Linghua wants to ask others for help because of the pressure of life, Zeng Yi always resolutely opposes it, emphasizing in an unquestionable tone: "As a man, how can you let a lady borrow money from others?" This kind of responsibility and responsibility makes Linghua grateful.
In the end, after experiencing countless hardships and obstacles, the two finally ushered in their own spring, and the Phoenix Legend was officially born and became a well-known music group.
Even in today's glory days, they have never forgotten their vows. No matter how much progress in the career and how rich the income is, they always adhere to the original principle of sharing accounts and divide the income equally.
This non-discriminatory and unreserved approach undoubtedly highlights the pure and precious friendship between them.
Two young people meet at a dance hall in Shenzhen
"If they miss the stage, they'll have to wait for the next opportunity. This sentence may be the most appropriate commentary on the final encounter between Linghua and Zeng Yi.
In 2003, Linghua was just an unknown Inner Mongolia girl, and she left her hometown and stepped into the bustling city of Shenzhen with her dream of becoming a well-known singer.
As soon as she set foot in this new land, she felt extremely strange and uncomfortable. With her savings stretched thin, Reihua can only devote herself to her favorite music career after finding a place to live.
At that time in Shenzhen, the resident singing industry was in a stage of vigorous development, which undoubtedly brought new hope to Linghua. In addition to making ends meet, she can continue to practice her singing skills and even have the opportunity to get the attention of talent scouts.
However, the reality is far from being as rosy as Linghua imagined. During her job search, she was repeatedly rejected ruthlessly, and many bars expressed concern about her immature age, and when asked if she had an original work, Reika was even more speechless.
This made Reika know that although she has a unique singing voice and a growing love for music, these are nothing compared to her work experience.
After suffering many merciless blows, Reika's heart also fell into an endless abyss, but she never gave up her faith and finally found a ray of life in a dance hall called "Golden Age".
In this dance hall, a young Zeng Yi is showing a wonderful performance. At this moment, Zeng Yi discovered Linghua at a glance. At that time, he was lacking a good backup dancer, so he decided to work with this naturally beautiful girl.
Although the work is challenging, and even often reprimanded by Zeng Yi, in order to survive, Linghua gritted her teeth and went all out, looking forward to one day successfully turning the tables.
In the course of a long-term and deep collaboration, Zeng Yi gained insight into Linghua's outstanding talent and pursuit of art, and knew that she was not satisfied with just being a backup dancer, so he proposed to her the vision of creating an innovative and outstanding music group together.
This is undoubtedly like a light that illuminates the night, awakening the original intention of Linghua's deep love for music, and she agreed without hesitation, so the two teamed up to create the eye-catching "Cool Fire Combination".
This encounter of fate started a musical journey of ups and downs and magnificent waves between Linghua and Zeng Yi. Together, they overcame many difficulties and composed a moving movement, which finally became the legend of the phoenix, which is now a household name.
And it all started with that chance encounter.
Or find another job
As soon as the Phoenix Legend was released, it quickly set off a craze across the country. As their fame grew, the outside world began to frequently speculate whether the relationship between the two had already gone beyond mere partners.
However, when the reporter threw this question directly to Linghua, she answered very simply: "Everyone has their own life trajectory, and people who cooperate with each other may not be able to become husband and wife."
This sentence undoubtedly proves once again that although Linghua and Zeng Yi have a tacit understanding on the stage, their relationship has always stayed purely at the level of working partners.
In fact, even after the Phoenix Legend became famous, some people suggested that Linghua give up Zeng Yi and develop her own career independently, but she resolutely rejected the proposal.
Linghua clearly knew that giving up Zeng Yi would not be an easy task for her. After all, in the early years, it was Zeng Yi who always encouraged and supported her, and reached out to her in the most difficult times.
What makes Linghua even more unforgettable is Zeng Yi's heroic actions in the recording of a certain program.
It was at the filming site of a variety show, when Zeng Yi was ridiculed for some interesting nicknames, and in this embarrassing situation, Linghua did not hesitate to stand up and resolve the dilemma for him.
This tacit understanding and thoughtfulness undoubtedly made Linghua feel Zeng Yi's cherishment and trust in her.
In the face of all kinds of speculation from the outside world, Linghua said frankly again and again that the relationship between her and Zeng Yi is just a pure work partner, and there is no improper affection.
She believes that even after their success, they can maintain the original innocent friendship, which is more precious than any vain relationship.
Although some people think that the songs of Phoenix Legend are too "rustic" to win the love of young people, Reika does not care about these negative comments. She always believes that as long as she and Zeng Yi continue to work together and continue to create high-quality works, those prejudices will eventually be proven wrong.
In addition, in an interview, Linghua also frankly said that no matter what kind of difficulties are encountered, the proportion of account sharing between the two will never change, and they will still adhere to the principle of five or five.
This hard-hearted approach once again proves the pure friendship between her and Zeng Yi beyond ordinary people, and also makes the outside world's misunderstanding of them gradually dissipate.
The legend of the phoenix has traveled thousands of miles since then
Looking back, 2003 is undoubtedly the most critical year in the life of Phoenix Legend. In that year, Linghua and Zeng Yi became famous in one fell swoop with a song called "On the Moon" and became a well-known music group.
This song has set off a sensational wave across the country, and has even been hailed as a public welfare song to fight against the sudden "SARS" virus, and has won the love and support of the audience with high patriotic feelings.
According to statistics, the number of mobile phone ringtones downloaded by this song has reached 300 million, which is enough to prove its huge influence.
At the same time that this song became popular all over the country, Linghua and Zeng Yi also began to attract the attention of the public. However, at that time, they were still just unknown music newcomers, and their popularity was far from reaching today's heights.
In search of a breakthrough, the duo teamed up to form a music group called "Cool Fire Group", and eventually changed its name to the now well-known "Phoenix Legend" under the favor of Phoenix Media.
At that time, the reporter curiously asked why the two chose such a name, and Zeng Yi responded with a little humor: "Actually, our choice of this name was actually inspired by the Korean 'Cool Dragon Group'!" There is no doubt that these words have some ironic meaning, but the truth behind them is that the two musicians are inspired to renew their creations under the passion that is ready to move, hoping to convey the charm of cool and fiery music through this name.
Soon, the Phoenix Legend appeared on the "Avenue of Stars", the most influential variety show stage at that time, with a new look. This not only made the two famous in one fell swoop, but also subversively changed the audience's cognitive concepts.
People began to associate the term "Legend of the Phoenix" with them and regarded it as the most representative musical group.
Since then, Linghua and Zeng Yi have started a new musical journey. They released one hit song after another, each of which deeply touched the hearts of their fans.
Gradually, people also began to think about how important Zeng Yi's position in the Phoenix Legend was. Some people believe that Linghua's voice is particularly prominent, and Zeng Yi's role is insignificant, and suggests that Linghua develop independently.
However, for such a suggestion, Linghua has always expressed a firm refusal.
In the face of suspicion and slander from the outside world, Linghua has never wavered in her position. She firmly believes that it was Zeng Yi's unremitting support and encouragement in the initial predicament that enabled the two to finally embark on a brilliant path.
Therefore, she would never let anyone ruin their friendship.
It is this kind of dedication and loyalty that has created the legendary story of Linghua and Zeng Yi that has attracted much attention today. From the musical journey started by the song "On the Moon" to the ups and downs of the past 20 years, their friendship has never been shaken by the interference of the outside world, and this precious friendship has also become an inexhaustible motivation for them to write a wonderful life.
From "local songs" to cross-border art palaces
After Phoenix Legend became famous in one fell swoop, the outside world also began to frequently comment on their musical style. Some people think that the songs of the Phoenix Legend are too "rustic" and difficult to win the love of young people, and some people even joke that these works can only become an entertainment tool for those aunts and uncles who love square dance.
However, these criticisms apparently did not shake the resolve of Linghua and Zeng Yi.
They began to move to new styles of music, trying to think outside the box. In the recent "Praise for the Song" program, Phoenix Legend sang a song "Under the Sea", which made people realize for the first time that Zeng Yi's singing was so moving and beautiful.
Subsequently, when they launched "Mountains and Rivers", it further demonstrated the artistic talent of the two beyond the convention.
In this song, Linghua's lyrics become more and more refined, on the contrary, Zeng Yi's dazzling performance and charming voice become more and more eye-catching. Some netizens even joked, "The first half of the Phoenix Legend relied on Linghua to make money, and the second half of its life relied on Zeng Yi's talent."
In an interview with the media, Linghua also frankly admitted that she felt great admiration for Zeng Yi's heroic posture on the stage. In June of this year, Phoenix Legends performed their famous masterpiece "On the Moon" and the powerful and inspiring "Lady of Luxury" at a grand concert.
Although they are already veteran music stars, their demeanor still shines, and in the video screen, accompanied by rolling subtitles, each lyric is deeply moving, making the audience feel the resonance and tremor in their hearts.
This further proves that the number of fans of Linghua and Zeng Yi has not decreased, but has continued to rise.
In contrast to some big-name singers who are lazy and lazy after becoming famous, doing nothing and even often releasing so-called "nostalgic hits", concerts rely more on the memories of the bygone years to attract audiences, rather than impress people with new music and innovative performances.
However, Phoenix Legend has always stayed true to its original intentions, continuing to release colorful original songs and reinterpreting traditional classic melodies. In the process, the reputation of the two is booming, and their popularity is getting higher and higher.
Their unremitting efforts undoubtedly once again prove the deep friendship between Linghua and Zeng Yi and their persistence in the music career. On this long and difficult road, they supported each other all the way, witnessed each other's growth together, and finally achieved the achievement that is now a household name.
This persistent spirit is touching and injects vigorous vitality into the future music path.
