There are many singing groups in the entertainment industry, but they can always maintain the heat, and there are few to the end. The protagonists of our story today are phoenix legends, but let's not talk about them.
In those years when the Phoenix legend became popular, another grassroots combination, the rising sun masculine, was on par with them. Rising Sun Masculine is a real migrant worker group, when with a song "In the Spring" became popular overnight, the following year it was on the Spring Festival Gala. This grassroots combination with no background, later because of copyright issues. It was very unpleasant to have a fight with Wang Feng.
Although it was reconciled afterwards, the popularity and reputation of the group were still greatly affected. Looking back now, you will find that they disappeared around 2016.
Different from the masculine sun, although the Phoenix Legend is also from the grassroots, it has flourished for more than twenty years, and there are new works every year, and in recent years, this combination has no longer become a "middle-aged and elderly limited love group", and the fans of the Phoenix Legend have really achieved all-age coverage.
Just as the so-called "men and women match, work is not tired", for so many years, Ling Hua and Zeng Yi do not seem to have any contradictions in front of the public, nor do they have any emotional scandals. When the brother group will fall apart because of the "girlfriend snatching" incident, and the husband and wife group will no longer work together because of divorce, only the phoenix legend has always maintained its original heart, bringing everyone one popular song after another.
I have to say that the Phoenix Legend is really a clear stream in the entertainment industry.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="5" > from "nerve" to "Phoenix Legend"</h1>
Before becoming singers, Ling Hua and Zeng Yi worked as workers in a radio factory in Hunan and an electrical appliance salesman in Ordos. This life is stable, but also very mediocre. The two people in the south and the north did not want to live in such a dull life, so they bid farewell to their hometown and parents and came to Shenzhen to work hard.
Zeng Yi's good brothers ran the "Golden Age Dance Hall" in Shenzhen, and Zeng Yi didn't want to think about it, so he defected to his brothers and soon held important positions in his brothers' dance hall. And Linghua has experienced several job failures and has also come here. A man and a woman met in Shenzhen.
At first, the two people were the relationship between the boss and the subordinate, but later, Linghua and Zeng Yi, as well as a friend named Zhang Jie, together formed the "Hair Nerve" combination, which sounds a bit non-mainstream, but Linghua said that the name has a positive meaning.
Working in the Golden Dance Hall was very stressful, the "hair nerve combination" had business requirements every month, and the next year, Zhang Jie quit the group.
At first, Linghua was also very confused, on the one hand, because of the departure of friends, on the other hand, the rehearsal all day consumed a lot of Linghua's energy, and after work, Linghua did not even have time to play games online.
In 2003, linghua and Zeng Yi's hair nerve combination became extremely popular in the golden dance hall, and the hair nerve group also had its own songs. The boss saw that the two people had a future, so he began to help Linghua and Zeng Yi contact the TV station and put on the show.
In 2004, the "Hair Nerve" group became the "Cool Fire" group and appeared on the stage of that year's Youth Song Contest. Ling Hua and Zeng Yi have rich performance experience, so they are full of confidence. But before the game began, the staff's words made Ling Hua and Zeng Yi nervously shiver.
He said: This game is live broadcast, and the whole country is watching it.
As a result, because of this nervousness, Linghua did not sing well on the stage, and finally "Cool Fire" only won the seventh place.
Although it did not get the top three, the seventh place is already very good, and the fame of Ling Hua and Zeng Yi has also risen. In order to seek more development, Linghua began to voluntarily submit resumes to some musicians and bosses.
One of the bosses was very interested in Linghua and invited Linghua to meet. Finally the boss said, you are excellent, I can sign you.
Ling Hua asked: What about Zeng Yi?
The boss said, the combination is ok, I just want to sign you alone.
Ling Hua resolutely rejected the boss, "Cool Fire" is a combination, to sign must sign two, sign one person I will not come.
In the end, the boss compromised, and finally Linghua and Zeng Yi signed a contract together.
After signing the contract, Linghua and Zeng Yi decided to change the name of the group, thinking about it and finally using "Phoenix Legend", Phoenix is one female and one male, which is in line with the gender of the two, and "Legend" is Linghua's favorite online game that year. The establishment of the "Phoenix Legend" group announced the star path of Ling Hua and Zeng Yi, and took an important step.
Linghua signed the boss, is the Guangdong record industry at that time the leading big brother, when signing, the boss promised to spend millions of red Linghua, and now Zeng Yi joined, this budget only increased.
In 2005, on the Avenue of Stars, Ling Hua and Zeng Yi passed the barrier and finally achieved the second place, that is, from here, the song of the Phoenix Legend became more and more popular, and soon, the Spring Festival Gala threw an olive branch to the two.
Once Linghua because of the pre-competition nervousness, in the Youth Song Competition only won the seventh place, she has been a little unwilling, and now can perform on the larger stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Linghua made up her mind, this performance must be well performed. But the harsh reality gave her a head-on blow.
In 2007, when the Phoenix Legend actively prepared for the Spring Festival Gala, the topic of "Plagiarism on the Moon" on the Internet also fermented more and more, CCTV is a very rigorous place, and the Spring Festival Gala is a big stage for the national audience. At the twenty-ninth time of the New Year, the Phoenix Legend was informed: No need to rehearse, your show has been taken away.
Going to the Spring Festival Gala is a very difficult opportunity, Zeng Yi's full stomach grievances have nowhere to tell, and a big man can't help but cry.
Linghua also felt that her heart was very unpleasant, in the first rehearsal, Linghua specially informed her parents of the time of her own rehearsal, and as a result, her parents waited from 8:30 to 12:00, and finally Linghua could only tell her parents that she could not go on stage.
After the Spring Festival Gala, Li Jie and Xu Peidong and other teachers made original measurements of the Phoenix legend's "Above the Moon" and found that only about 21 seconds of RAP were similar, while there was no similarity in other places.
Public opinion gradually subsided, and phoenix legends also held a press conference in time, saying that they did not plagiarize.
The next year, Phoenix Legends received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala again, and this time, they seized the opportunity, and "Above the Moon" was successfully sung on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="18" > "Will you and Zeng Yi be together?" </h1>
After the "Phoenix Legend" became popular, Ling Hua and Zeng Yi received more and more attention. Actors often have a situation of "love because of the drama" when filming, and every time they are interviewed, many people will ask whether Linghua will become a couple with Zeng Yi.
LingHua always tirelessly replied every time: Zeng Yi is not her favorite type, the two are good partners, but it is impossible to become a couple.
In Zeng Yi's view, what he prefers is the gentle woman of the bird, and the girl with a big grin like Linghua is not within his own consideration.
The Phoenix Legend ushered in two great events in 2011, in the first half of the year and the second half of the year, Zeng Yi and Linghua entered the palace of marriage respectively. Linghua's husband is Xu Mingchao, a well-known producer in the industry, who fell in love with Linghua at first sight at the event and launched a fierce pursuit of Linghua. Worried that Linghua was young and deceived, Zeng Yi on the one hand told Linghua that she must grasp love, on the other hand, she carried out a very strict check on Xu Mingchao, and when she thought that Xu Mingchao was a "good man", Zeng Yi was relieved to hand over Linghua to him.
In the entertainment industry, those who are good friends in advance and turn their faces because of money afterwards are not in the minority. But between Ling Hua and Zeng Yi, there doesn't seem to be a problem.
When the Phoenix Legend performed the show, Zeng Yi's lines were not much, and many netizens said that Zeng Yi only used "yo" to "yo" every day, but he took the same salary as Linghua, was it a little unfair? Even Han Hong said that It was too easy for Zeng Yi to make money. From the perspective of conversion rate, every lyric of Zeng Yi is indeed more "valuable" than Linghua.
But Ling Hua didn't care about this question at all. For a long time, Ling Hua and Zeng Yi's income distribution was five or five points, what was it before the red, and what it was after the red. The reason why netizens will think that Zeng Yi takes too much money is nothing more than that Zeng Yi's "pay" is not proportional to the return, but Zeng Yi is not without talent, many people do not know, in fact, Zeng Yi is also Linghua's Bole horse.
Linghua University chose a major in dance, so when she first went to Shenzhen to work hard and worked with Zeng Yi, the other party also trained her as a dancer. Later, at a KTV party, Linghua sang many songs such as "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" and "Mongolians" in a row, and Zeng Yi noticed that Linghua was very talented in singing.
Later, the company planned to set up a "nerve combination", and at first did not leave a place for Linghua, but Zeng Yi suggested to the boss that this group, only he can sing, is not OK. You should also find a person who can sing to join, two people to sing together, this is the combination. Subsequently, Zeng Yi recommended Linghua to the boss. The final candidate for the "Nerves" combination was decided.
After the establishment of "Legend of the Phoenix", most of the songs sung were more suitable for Linghua to play, so Zeng Yi was "willing to take a back seat" and be a foil for Linghua. In order to better assist Linghua, Zeng Yi also went to learn RAP, and subsequently, the "Phoenix Legend" Zeng Yi became the "yoyo brother" Zeng Yi that we often ridiculed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="23" > why the Phoenix legend can flourish for a long time</h1>
The popularity of "Above the Moon" and "Lotus Pond Moonlight" has made the Phoenix Legend labeled "Square Dance Singer", because the square dancers are usually uncles and aunts, so in the eyes of many people, the Phoenix Legend is also "the favorite of middle-aged and elderly people".
Phoenix Legends are very popular with the older generation, but young people are not very interested in them.
The market for the elderly in China is vast, in fact, if you concentrate on the development of the elderly market, it is also a very promising thing. But neither Zeng Yi nor Ling Hua is a person who is satisfied with the status quo.
If anyone has read the early information of the Phoenix Legend, they will find that Zeng Yi and Ling Hua are very much following the trend. Zeng Yi likes to shave her head half-naked, wear leather clothes, and wear chains, while Linghua likes to dye hair with a lot of "personality", and she likes to try a variety of clothing in good shape, and once even got a nose nail for herself for the sake of stinky beauty.
The time when the Phoenix Legend became popular was also the most prosperous time in the Chinese music scene, and everyone could not only hear the Phoenix Legend, but also hear Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, another pair of SHE from Treasure Island. It is clear that it is the latter group of people who are more popular with young people.
Although the Phoenix Legend opened its popularity from the CCTV stage, but the songs they sang, with a strong rough taste, the description of love is not so subtle, the Phoenix Legend is not only unpopular with young people, some music critics at the time also believed that "the Phoenix Legend is too earthy", "The emergence of the Phoenix Legend has set back pop music by 20 years." ”
In fact, in terms of music, Phoenix Legend has always tried to connect with national instruments, and Phoenix Legend does not want to take the ordinary saliva song route. In recent years, the new songs launched by Phoenix Legend have been constantly in line with the style preferred by young people, and the songs of Phoenix Legend are no longer limited to "grassland" and "lotus pond".
Some time ago, phoenix legends in a variety show adapted "Under the Sea", although not to attract the likes of the judges, but let netizens find resonance, once uploaded to the platform, the number of hits within two days exceeded two million, and now the number of plays on the separate platform has reached more than 25 million, and the current playback volume is still going to high school.
Phoenix Legend is a rare male and female combination in the entertainment industry, before becoming famous, the two supported each other and walked together through the past that was not rich. After becoming famous, the two did not blush because of money and other external objects. In 2011, the two married, and both shed tears at each other's wedding. Sigh that the other party has found the final destination. And now, the two are working hand in hand.
There is no need to create a person, the relationship between two people is good or not, time is the best way to test.
