The songs of Phoenix Legend have always given people a loud and clear feeling. From "Above the Moon" to the square dance gold song "The Most Dazzling National Wind", what has changed is the turnover of seasons, and what has remained unchanged is the sentiment of the singers.
When their songs are red and hot, gossip rumors naturally come to their doorsteps, and a series of gossips such as "two people's relationship breaks down" and "the man is not worthy of 50/50 salary" begin.
This year's Lantern Party, but also someone took the opportunity to hype a wave.
Since their debut, the two have always been close and good partners, almost confidantes why they did not become a couple?
01
"There is a destiny to come to meet each other in a thousand miles, but there is no destiny to hold hands across the street." How can this be right when put in the context of the Phoenix Legends?
Born in Ordos prairie, Yang Wei Linghua chose to go to Guangdong to work after unsuccessfully taking exams at the Window of the World, Folk Village and other literary groups.
Being strongly opposed by his family before that, Zeng Yi was then an employee of Huaqiangbei. Tired of the life of a laborer, he decided to use his singing talent to find a job in an opera house.
There was a cabaret called Golden Age in Shenzhen at the time, and the owner of the cabaret was a friend of Zeng Yi. Zeng Yi naturally became the music director of the cabaret.
At this time, Yang Wei Linghua, who came from the north, was looking for a job everywhere like a white man, and she happened to see a job for a resident singer at the cabaret, so she went to the cabaret to apply for the job.
It's all a coincidence that Zeng Yi was conquered by this girl from the grassland after the first song he sang. Her voice is loud and clear, and if she can stay in the dance hall, it will surely bring considerable revenue in the future.
At the time, Zeng Yi was particularly fond of a Korean singer called Cool Dragon, and he decided to take Linghua to create a new group: Cool Fire. （
The group became the mainstay of the Golden Age, and during the four-hour performances every day, the two of them became the most glittering presence in the room. Under Zeng Yi's choreography, the Golden Age soon became a famous cabaret in Shenzhen.
As their fame grew, the duo summoned up the courage to participate in the Guangdong Radio and Television Music Festival, where they won the Newcomer's Award and made it to the finals, just as everyone else was talking.
Being in the finals meant a lot, but it also meant meeting more like-minded people, and as expected, a year later a singer named Zhang Jie joined the group.
To make the name more memorable, they changed the name from "Cool Fire" to "Nervous", a name that others found nerve-wracking, but which they simply wanted to revitalize.
But unfortunately, after only a year, Zhang Jie quit the group because of the high intensity of the work, and it was all back to the beginning.

Everything seemed to be meant to be, and the pair helped each other along the way from the moment they met to the moment they became famous.
A musician named He Muyang wanted to find a girl in Shenzhen who sang with a lot of tension, and before that he had heard of a Hunan hometown boy who worked for Golden Age, so he figured he had some good resources.
After coming to Golden Age he met Zeng Yi, who introduced him to Linghua, and after listening to her sing, He Muyang was stunned to realize that the girl's voice was like heavenly music, coupled with the male voice, it was a match made in heaven.
He Muyang immediately decided to let the two try to sing "Above the Moon", originally a soothing song, these two people live to sing it out of the feeling of rap, at that time, He Muyang do not know what is rap, just think this singing method is good to hear.
The song sent warmth to the SARS epidemic at the time, and they only knew that they were doing their bit, but they never thought that because of this song, they created a precedent for combining ethnic music with rap music, and it also made them start to become popular.
After singing the song Linghua began to idle boredom, it is at this time, their "Above the Moon" by the Guangdong Peacock Records boss noticed, the olive branch has been thrown, in the Linghua bitter under the results, Zeng Yi said: "you decide how, I decided to accompany you".
Pi time there is a game called Legend of the fire of the North and South, in Linghua play is the time of the agent went up and said: "crazy combination of renamed Phoenix Legend it! If you can't do it, call it Phoenix Legend."
Thinking about it or the legend is better, simply renamed "Phoenix Legend".
Then Linghua became the company's meat and potatoes, the same accompanied him into the Department of Zeng Yi has been bleak, in a later drink, Zeng Yi from the mouth of the drunken boss to learn that he is actually "buy one get one free" product.
That is to say, without Linghua's insistence, Zeng Yi would not have been able to share the stage with Linghua.

Yeah! The Phoenix Legend is a group that has most of people's attention locked onto Linghua, but it's important to realize that without Zeng Yi Linghua couldn't have made it this far.
In the Phoenix Legends just became famous in those two years, they did not earn much money, every time the funds are not enough to support the combination of the time, are Zeng Yi pulled down the face to run east and west to borrow money.
And when it comes to making money, Zeng Yi is generous enough to say that the average dividend, I don't know if he has love for Linghua, but this kind of man's commitment and responsibility is really rare.
Later the combination of success, starring in a variety of programs, on stage in a variety of variety shows, the two people in the audience's point of view has changed dramatically, from the official fame, "Zeng Yi money is really easy" public opinion has not stopped.
"Forget about it, it's better to distribute it according to labor in the future! The voices of the masses outside are so fierce." Zeng Yi had said to Linghua more than once.
"No, it has to be a 50/50 split, since it's a combination there's no primary or secondary." Linghua's answer moved Zeng Yi a lot.
In fact, Zeng Yi also sang at times, only in this group, the opportunity left for him to sing was too little, in order to keep the group on fire for a long time, he would have to make sacrifices.
They were that simple, for the showbiz they had no idea how deep the water was, and then the duo took part in "Avenue of Stars", and that year their "Dazzling Ethnic Wind" was beaten by Ah Bao.
While they were runners-up, Phoenix Legend's reputation was not at all inferior to Ah Bao's, and their "Above the Moon" was later covered by Ji Minjia, and for a while people's color ringtones became the song.
So they were simple, even if others infringement do not know how to defend.
With the song's popularity, they received an invitation to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, but it didn't last long, as the article "Above the Moon" was suspected to be plagiarized from a British song quickly spread, and after countless rumors were circulated, they still didn't have a chance to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In 2010, the pair's new song "Moonlight in a Lotus Pond" came out, and the song swept the nation once again, becoming a "brainwashing anthem", and for a while there was a lot of talk about the pair.
"When are you two going to get married, are you two really a combination and a friend"?
"We are just a combination and good friend relationship, since the debut of so long, also tried to date, but really do not feel". Reika said.
In 2011, the two actually exposed the news of their marriage, which made the fans who once fantasized that the two could become a couple a bit disappointed.

From 2007 to 2020, the Phoenix Legends have appeared on the Spring Festival Gala eight times, which is a lot of fun to say about the group.
From the time they met to the time they had a family with each other, they were still willing to help each other out despite the bad rumors, and yes, the Phoenix Legends wouldn't have made it this far if one of them had a hidden agenda.
Some people say their people are dirt and their work is dirt, but who's to say you haven't heard their songs?
Their songs are not the vulgarity that those "refined people" talk about, but they are grounded and easy to understand, which is what national songs are supposed to be, isn't it?
They have to carefully polish every song they write, just one "Dazzling Ethnic Wind", from the lyrics and composition to the subsequent arrangement of the instruments took a year and a half, this is not "poor to talk about", but to strive for excellence.
But now, the Phoenix Legends news is all about "Linghua single flight" news, since the marriage, the two have their own families, it is impossible to concentrate on the creation of the same as before.
It is undeniable that this is a disadvantage of the stars, but also many stars why the delay in marriage is an important factor, and secondly, the Phoenix Legends as a combination of the two are indispensable.
They are now in a very different state of life, a woman married to a rich husband, but also 50/50 dividend, naturally, food and clothing, and a man, with 50/50 dividend want to support a family but a little difficult to support.
