Both the broadcast volume and the topic degree have exceeded 100 million, which has almost become one of the hottest pop songs in recent times. With the recognition and support of many young people, Phoenix Legend's group went out again after years of silence.
Phoenix Legend has always given us the impression that middle-aged people like it best, and the magical melody has been labeled as "local hi", which is a necessary divine comedy that is most welcomed by the square dance aunts.
Many years ago, their songs swept the country. I think everyone has heard songs such as Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, Flying Free and Above the Moon. Why can Phoenix Legend, who has been criticized as a "fallen dust", persist for more than 20 years?
As a well-known pop music group in China, Phoenix Legend is as close as brother and sister. In fact, in the early years, the two had nothing to do with each other. Ceng Yi was born in Yiyang, Hunan, and Sene grew up in Ordos grassland.
If two people don't love music, they may never get involved in this life. Ceng Yi was born in a family full of literary flavor. His father worked in a literary propaganda team when he was young. His mother has a very good voice and likes singing and dancing.
Ceng Yi has been interested in music since he was a child. When I was in junior high school, I was catching up with the popularity of pop music in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Ceng Yi sang with a group of seniors who loved playing guitar. Chyi Chin, Zhang Rose and other singers have learned many songs. Later, with the popularity of the movie "Break Dance", Ceng Yi followed the dance movements of astronauts.
Ceng Yi, 1997, age 18, graduated from technical secondary school. Her first job was as a worker in Yiyang wireless electronics factory. However, Ceng Yi never gave up his musical dream and went to the local performing arts center to sing at night.
Running a venue can earn about ten or twenty dollars. Ceng Yi is young and energetic. He can run three or four courses in one night. For the effect of stage performance, he began to plan a group. Ceng Yi thinks Yiyang can't have a bright future. He wants to be a star, and he also wants to have a broader vision.
Ling Hua, who graduated from an art school and majored in dance at that time, failed in the examinations of literary and art groups such as Window of the World and Folk Village, and then came to the Golden Age Dance Hall to apply. Because Ling Hua comes from the grassland, his personality is free and easy, and his singing is particularly shocking.
The boss was very satisfied with this, so he accepted her as a contract artist and became a colleague with Ceng Yi, the music art director. A lark from the grassland and a cool boy from Hunan met in this bustling city with a dream of music.
From 65438 to 0999, Ceng Yi, Ling Hua and Jason formally established the "hair nerve group". Why do they have such distinctive names? Ling Hua once explained, "Because the combination was just formed at that time, if you can't remember a resounding name, you are afraid that you can't remember it."
So I got this crazy name, which means brand-new. "Later, they participated in some music competitions one after another. In the second year, team member Jason gave in to the pressure and quit the team, which was a great blow to Ceng Yi and Ling Hua.
The task originally completed by three people became realized by two people, and they rested for two whole months. It can be said that without Ling Hua's insistence, Phoenix Legend, which became a household name later, would not exist.
In 2003, when SARS was raging, He Muyang, who was also in Shenzhen, planned to find a female singer with a strong voice to sing a public service song he wrote to fight against SARS, so as to inject positive energy into the depressed patients in China.
Occasionally attracted by Ling Hua's voice, He Muyang performed three performances with Ceng Yi and Ling Hua, and then sang the song Above the Moon to them.
"Above the Moon" pioneered the perfect combination of national style and rap music, and set off a music craze in China. This song has been downloaded 79 million times in China Mobile CRBT, and the combination of Ceng Yi and Ling Hua is also famous for it.
With the growth of popularity, in the hot discussion, there are also many voices that change the name of Cool Fire Group. So they first chose the word "phoenix" which represents the meaning of auspicious men and women, but calling it "phoenix combination" is too corny.
At that time, Ling Hua was obsessed with playing an online game Legend, so she decided to name the group "Phoenix Legend". This proposal received unanimous praise and support, and the legendary road of Phoenix Legend began.
2005 can be said to be a very important turning point in their lives. That year, on the stage of CCTV's Avenue of Stars, more viewers got to know their group through the program.
In the end, they won the honor of runner-up in the finals that year, so their popularity expanded a lot. Because their songs are very grounded and the melody is particularly cheerful, they are widely loved by people and have won many fans.
With the rising popularity of Phoenix Legend, he stepped onto the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and let the national audience witness the glory of Phoenix Legend. In fact, they have participated in CCTV Spring Festival Gala six times, but they have been withdrawn three times. Once they wanted to sing the song "Above the Moon", and they were well prepared.
This tape was recorded on the 28th of New Year's Day. As a result, rumors of plagiarism circulated on the Internet the next day. The selection requirements of CCTV Spring Festival Evening have always been strict and sensitive, and their programs are undoubtedly brushed down.
Since then, Phoenix Legend has become a frequent visitor to CCTV Spring Festival Evening, and his songs are highly sung, dominating KTV charts all the year round. The most dazzling national style released in 2009 won the first annual sales volume in the mainland.
Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, released the following year, swept the country again. According to statistics, the mobile phone download volume of this song has exceeded 1 100 million times. Phoenix Legend is known as "Divine Comedy Combination", and they have created many unforgettable classics in China.
It has been 23 years since Phoenix Legend debuted, during which they were once prosperous and lonely. Ling Hua knows that their enthusiasm will fade one day, but she has a goal, that is, to stand on the stage and sing in her fifties and sixties, just like Cai Qin.
Today, they have become an inseparable whole. Even if both of them have their own families now, their relationship is not that relatives are better than relatives. The love of music will keep them going.
