"Endless horizon is my love, leaving a colorful ocean." This word is popular all over the country, and the singer of this song is Phoenix Legend, who is known as the leader of square dance.
Phoenix Legend, a super popular classic group, has been in the music world for 24 years.
When September Miracle and Chopsticks Brothers were dissolved one after another, Phoenix Legend was still the same dream-chasing entertainment circle as before.
Now, the results of other groups confirm Phoenix Legend's sobriety.
After Phoenix Legend became popular, Ceng Yi once became the object of ridicule. As long as Phoenix Legend agrees, Ceng Yi can't escape the ridicule of "spending the same money to sing the least words".
Many taunts have also made Ceng Yi questioned, and more and more people feel that Ling Hua has propped up the days of the Phoenix Legend combination. Without Ling Hua, there would be no Phoenix Legend today.
However, in the face of these doubts, Ceng Yi not only failed to defend himself, but also took the initiative to mention this stalk to laugh at himself.
Perhaps from now on, Ling Hua is indeed more famous than Ceng Yi.
However, what we don't know is that without Ceng Yi's insight, there would be no Ling Hua today.
Ceng Yi, male, 1973, from Yiyang, Hunan.
Born in a peasant family, he dropped out of school and went out to work very early in order to support his family.
In those difficult days, singing became his spiritual pillar.
As a maintenance worker during the day, he will sing in the bar at night, and he will save the money he earns to supplement his family.
He will hand in part of the money he earns from working, then buy all the rest into CDs, and then learn to sing and dance by himself according to CDs.
"The first money I made before, when I gave it to my dad, his hands were shaking. He has never seen a whole ten thousand dollars. " Ceng Yi recalled.
Compared with Ceng Yi, the conditions in Ling Hua, Inner Mongolia are better.
Ling Hua was born in Inner Mongolia prairie. Her family is relatively rich and lives a life of herding sheep in the east and west.
As we all know, people on the grassland are enthusiastic and heroic, born with a good voice, good family education and Ling Hua's excellent musical talent, which paved the way for her artistic path.
It's a pity that Ling Hua didn't continue to develop towards art after graduating from art school.
Because his parents felt that the road of art was not easy and the risk was too great, Ling Hua listened to his parents' arrangement and went back to his hometown to find a job as a salesman, living a nine-to-five life every day.
I thought that with the passage of time, Ling Hua's artistic dream would be erased, but I didn't expect her to get tired of this life more and more.
At that moment, I made a bold decision: I went to Shenzhen to pursue my dream.
1997, Ling Hua persuaded his parents to go to Shenzhen by train alone.
On the other hand, Ceng Yi is not inferior. Friends all think that Ceng Yi should not bury his musical talent, but should make a bold breakthrough.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Ceng Yi gave up his stable job and went to a friend who managed the Golden Age Ballroom in Shenzhen.
Although there is much competition in big cities, there are also many opportunities. With the experience of singing, he soon became the pillar of the golden age.
Less than a year later, because of his unique talent in music, he was promoted to director.
The development of Ceng Yi is relatively smooth. On the other hand, Ling Hua, 1997 came to Shenzhen and hit a wall many times.
She has been to the window of the world and the famous and vulgar village, but they have all been brushed off.
It was not until the end of 1998 that Linghua ushered in a golden age.
Here, Ling Hua met Ceng Yi, and then she was successfully signed into the ballroom.
"I remember the first time I saw him, wearing long earrings and leather clothes. At that time, I thought this man was really ugly. "
This is the first time that Ling Hua saw Ceng Yi's idea. Maybe she didn't think that the man who doesn't like ugliness will become her future partner.
At that time, there was a very popular Korean group called Kulong, who was the idol of Ling Hua and Ceng Yi.
In order to express their love for Cool Dragon, Ceng Yi and Ling Hua formed a group called Cool Fire.
Originally said to be fun, I didn't expect the combination of the two of them to become not only the pillar of the performing arts center, but also the golden signboard of the Shenzhen performance market.
Most people come to watch this program for Ceng Yi and Ling Hua.
The boss found the business opportunity and invited a singer from the company to join the duo in May.
In May of the same year, singer Jason joined, and the group was renamed "Crazy Group".
After that, these three people performed like chicken blood for four hours every day.
It's just a pity that the development prospect of the group is not very good, so Jason quit the group in less than a year.
Under this combination, Ceng Yi and Ling Hua were left behind again, and their names were changed back to their previous cool fire.
Although Ceng Yi has only a few words now, from the beginning, he had several roles in the group. More importantly, Ceng Yi is proficient in everything, and he can easily handle break dancing and folk dancing.
At that time, Ling Hua called him a teacher.
There is no doubt that Ling Hua at that time, like Ceng Yi now, was a combination of "green leaves".
But soon, Ling Hua ushered in the first turning point in her life.
Sars in 2003, like today's epidemic, will make people panic if it is not solved for a day.
At that time, He Muyang, a famous musician, wrote a public service song to fight against SARS, so she wanted to find a female singer with a nervous voice to sing.
When he came to the ballroom to find a singer, he saw Ling Hua singing on the stage and was immediately attracted by Ling Hua's voice.
After the performance in Ling Hua, He Muyang went backstage and asked Ling Hua's phone number, and said he wanted to sign Ling Hua.
At that time, Ling Hua was pleasantly surprised and immediately dialed the telephone of her boss.
"Who do you think you are, make you? It's not like you, is it? "
Ordinary people should be hit by this, right? However, Ling Hua did the opposite and went directly to the address left by He Muyang.
Ling Hua was a dead horse at that time. What if this is true?
Upon arrival, Ling Hua found that this is a formal big company and one of the best record companies in China.
While feeling incredible, Ling Hua faced another problem, and the company only intended to sign her.
One is a partner who has cooperated for many years, and the other is an opportunity to step into the sky. How will Ling Hua choose?
After Ling Hua found He Muyang, He Muyang said that she could spend a lot of money to package her and give her a place in the music world. Ceng Yi, her partner, was not mentioned in her speech.
At this time, after careful consideration, Ling Hua said: Ceng Yi and I are a combination, and I will only sign after signing him.
In fact, Linghua insisted on bringing Ceng Yi, not because of their high degree of cooperation, but because Ceng Yi helped Ling Hua a lot when she was new here and helpless.
At the beginning, Ceng Yi was the lead singer, and the salary of the lead singer was arguably higher than others, but Ceng Yi insisted on a 50-50 split with Ling Hua, which made Ling Hua very moved.
So there was an opening.
And it happened that He Muyang is a very talented person. He valued Ling Hua's talent and didn't want to give up such a good prospect, so he signed a contract with Ceng Yi by the way.
In 2004, Cool Fire changed its name to Phoenix Legend, and since then, it has started its own acting career.
However, it's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan. They didn't become famous overnight, but lived a very unhappy life.
According to an insider, they were unable to go to Shang Yan privately because they had signed a contract with the company, resulting in no financial resources.
When they were down and out, it was Ceng Yi who borrowed money from his friends to support his daily expenses.
After a year of immersion, Phoenix Legend Group finally ushered in a turning point.
In 2005, Phoenix Legend won the runner-up on the Avenue of Stars in one fell swoop, and the songs with great feelings instantly became popular all over the country.
"Above the Moon", "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" and "The most dazzling national style" have become the divine comedy of square dance in the hearts of countless aunts.
However, many people are red, they are red, but the voice of spitting is also coming.
"What's the use of the man in Phoenix Legend's group?"
"Just shouted two why want to take him to power? Are they husband and wife? "
There is no doubt that all this is aimed at Ceng Yi, and in the face of these doubts, Ling Hua stood up again and again to help her partner out: We are good partners for life, and we will keep singing.
But the audience didn't believe that they were partners and always suspected that they were lovers.
It was not until the news came out that the two had their own families that the audience believed that they were really just good partners.
20 1 1 In March, Ling Hua and her husband got married in Inner Mongolia.
2011165438+1On October 20th, Ceng Yi and Xinjiang girl Li Na got married in their hometown in Hunan.
After marriage, they rarely appeared in the public eye, especially Ling Hua, who began to pay attention to her family and married an expensive entertainment boss. Even if Ling Hua doesn't work, she can live a rich life.
On the other hand, Ceng Yi, as the pillar of the family, must struggle, so when they are not performing, Ceng Yi will invest.
However, some people say that Ceng Yi is not good at investing, so most investment projects have ended in failure. In the end, instead of making money, he lost everything and was heavily in debt.
We can't prove whether it is true or not, but as long as the combination is not dissolved, it can still make a comeback.
Looking back on the music scene, there are many combinations, but few can persist until now.
Even the miracle of lovers in September has finally become the most familiar stranger.
And Phoenix Legend can persist until now, in addition to understanding that interests cannot be mixed, but also to borrow a sentence from Ceng Yi:
"As a group, the ultimate thing is to find a generous partner."
At that time, it took two people to borrow money from Ceng Yi, so now it takes two people to earn money. They know how to achieve each other. Two people in a combination, there is bound to be a compromise, which is also a sober place for Phoenix Legend.
