At the 2021 CCTV Qixi Gala, Phoenix Legend brought a song "Mountain and River Map", singing the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.
Coupled with the exquisite national style stage, it is not only pleasing to the eye, but also makes people feel excited, and it is a sense of pride as a descendant of Yanhuang!
Since the release of his debut album "Above the Moon" in 2005, unconsciously, the songs of the Phoenix Legend have accompanied the people for 16 years.
In the past, especially for young people, I felt that the phoenix legend was synonymous with "soil", and only uncles and aunts would like it.
For the entertainment industry's continuous idol star "overturning", I would like to say: in 2021, like the phoenix legend, finally is not a shameful thing!
An "idol" who can bring joy and positive energy to the people is the real idol.
The two members of the Phoenix Legend, Yang Weilinghua and Zeng Yi, one from Inner Mongolia and one from Hunan. The group was founded in 1998 and has been in tacit agreement for 23 years.
Many people think, and even hope, that the two of them are "partners" in their lives. In fact, two people have their own happiness in their lives.
The tacit understanding is that although the two are not husband and wife, they are married in the same year and have a baby born in the same year.
To say that the fate of Zeng Yi and Linghua is to go back to the time when Linghua was 17 years old.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">1</h1>
Yang Weilinghua was born in 1980 in the Ordos grassland of Inner Mongolia, an ordinary family.
Wei Linghua, mongolian means clouds in the sky. People used to call her Linghua.
Linghua has been riding horses and herding sheep since she was a child, can sing and dance, and is born with a big voice.
Perhaps inherited from her mother, her mother also sang very well, and now that she is older, she can still make metal sounds.
After graduating from junior high school, Linghua went to art school to study dance.
But after graduation, he couldn't find a suitable job for a while and went back to Ordos to sell electrical appliances in a shopping mall.
But she knew that she was not here, and she had the idea of going out and making a move.
In the 1990s, the economy of the south was developing rapidly, and many young people were eager to go south to work hard.
After asking her parents for advice, Linghua quit her job. Her mother sold a few sheep and bought her a plane ticket to Shenzhen, when she was 17 years old.
Zeng Yi, a year older than Linghua, was born in 1979 in Yiyang, Hunan Province, and has a younger brother in the family.
Zeng Yi graduated from Yiyang First Vocational Secondary School, majoring in home appliance maintenance.
In order to reduce the burden on his parents, Zeng Yi worked as a worker in the factory after graduation, and the factory salary was up to 80 yuan a month.
After work in the evening, he went to the song hall to sing and dance part-time.
In 1998, in order to seek better development, zeng Yi quit his job at the age of 19 to join his friends who ran a dance hall in Shenzhen.
In the second half of the same year, an 18-year-old Mongolian girl came to apply.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">2</h1>
After coming to Shenzhen, 18-year-old Linghua took the exams of literary and art groups such as Window of the World and Folk Village, but there were no results.
Finally, she came to a well-known dance hall to apply for a job, became a contracted artist here, where she met the "nobleman" in her life, that is, Zeng Yi.
At the age of 19, Zeng Yi is the music director of the dance hall, plus a row dance teacher. He became Linghua's superior and teacher.
Ling Hua did not have a good impression of Zeng Yi at the beginning, every time she danced, as long as she was late, she was deducted 500 yuan by Zeng Yi, which was not a small amount for Ling Hua's few salaries at that time.
Zeng Yi's impression of Linghua is: personality is bold!
And he saw the strength of Linghua singing, so he proposed to form a group called "Hair Nerve" with her, plus a girl.
Three young people, full of confidence in the future, full of energy.
Soon, the girl quit the group because she went abroad, leaving only Linghua and Zeng Yi, and the name was changed to "Cool Fire" group.
Rehearsals, performances, continue to be busy day and night, and can only sleep for 4 hours a day.
The efforts of the two have not been in vain, and they are also a little famous in the local interpretation circle.
There is only one opportunity to go to the next level from them.
In 2003, musician He Muyang composed a song to fight SARS, found the cool fire group, and thus had their famous song "On the Moon".
At that time, "Over the Moon" had not yet been recorded and was not widely known.
Linghua's high-pitched voice interpreted this song perfectly. Thus attracting the attention of Peacock Records, the largest record company in Guangdong, he intended to sign her.
At that time, the boss wanted to make Linghua a "female knife lang", so he put forward a condition: only sign her alone.
Ling Hua didn't even think about it, and replied on the spot: "We are a group, if we want to sign it, we will sign it together, and it is impossible for me to sign it myself." ”
Peacock Records eventually agreed to sign the contract and changed the name of the duo to "Legend of the Phoenix".
After signing the contract, their development was not as smooth as expected.
Although relying on the company, they have some opportunities for commercial performance, but after all, the fame is not large, the performance fee is also the company's big head, Ling Hua and Zeng Yi are still often unable to make ends meet.
At the most difficult time, the living expenses of both of them became a problem, and Zeng Yi tried to borrow money, and the money borrowed was half of one person for each person to cope with it.
It wasn't until 2005 that their lives changed dramatically.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">3</h1>
In 2005, Phoenix Legend participated in CCTV's "Walk of Fame" and won the second runner-up of the year. They were seen by a national audience and were completely on fire.
Later, he released his debut album "Above the Moon", which created a precedent for the "national pop" genre music.
Since then, the lives of the two have been like "open and hanging", all the way hot.
Later, he also produced works such as "Free Flight", "The Most Dazzling National Style", etc., each one of which was popular, and was sung by the streets and alleys, which was an essential song for the square dance of the mothers.
They sold 6 million copies of 5 records, and the total income of CRBT reached 100 million yuan, just one song "Lotus Pond Moonlight".
"The Most Dazzling National Style" was even on the NBA field in the United States in 2012.
The phoenix legend has exploded in China step by step and out of the world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">4</h1>
After the Phoenix Legend was on fire, due to the tacit understanding between the two on the stage, coupled with the appearance of the two people, the audience was very curious about the real relationship between the two of them, and many people thought that they were a couple.
Although Linghua and Zeng Yi clarified in many interviews that the two were just friends, Linghua once said: "Those who can be together at work will definitely not become husband and wife." ”
But many viewers do not believe that the two have worked together for so many years, inseparable, impossible, right?
Until the first half of 2011, Linghua came out with the news of marriage.
In the second half of the same year, Zeng Yi also got married.
What is more tacit is that three years later, the children of the two were also born one after another, and they were 100 days apart.
Linghua's husband is Xu Mingchao, the music editor-in-chief of TOM.
When Xu Mingchao wanted to pursue Linghua, he first asked Zeng Yi for advice.
At that time, Xu Mingchao invited Zeng Yi to drink, and he tentatively said, "I like Linghua, do you think I am possible?" ”
Zeng Yi did not hesitate: "Impossible! She likes more talented people. ”
In the end, Xu Mingchao still pursued Linghua through his sincerity.
On Linghua's wedding day, at the wedding, Zeng Yi suddenly cried with great emotion.
In the interview, Zeng Yi explained that the two have been appearing in the poster at the same time for many years, but when Linghua got married, she saw that Linghua was next to another man, and suddenly she was not used to it.
However, in the second half of Linghua's marriage, Zeng Yi married a girl from Xinjiang, and the two have been in love for seven or eight years.
On the day of Zeng Yi's wedding, Ling Hua drank unconsciously, and was finally carried back by her husband Xu Mingchao. Linghua confessed that she was "happy, so happy!" ”
The two have worked hard together since the age of eighteen or nineteen, struggled, and have already formed a deep friendship.
The relationship between Ling Hua and Zeng Yi is curious, and what also makes the melon-eating masses curious is the share of the money made by the two.
In an issue of "Spitting Conference", Zeng Yi bluntly said that the two were divided into five or five.
Ling Hua only said one sentence: "Divide it when you borrow money, and divide it when you make money."
The two came from the most difficult days, for Linghua, Zeng Yi is not just an accompaniment singer, he will always be his "nobleman".
Zeng Yi laughed at himself in "Let's Talk", after they were on fire, he was once called "Oye Brother", "Stay Brother", "Yo Yo Brother".
In fact, what we viewers can't see is that a group, the effort behind them, is not just as simple as singing more or singing fewer lyrics.

Yang Lan said:
"In addition to love between husband and wife, there is also the righteousness of taking care of each other, the tacit understanding of not abandoning, the growth of common nurturing, and the unforgettable kindness."
This is true not only for running marriages, but also for managing friendships and between business partners.
Today, the "Phoenix Legend" group has been established for 23 years, and has been on fire for 16 years, with successful careers and happy families.
They come from the grassroots, and it is no accident that they have achieved such an achievement!
