"The vast expanse of the sky is my love, leaving behind a sea of ten thousand purples and thousands of reds." The lyrics are on fire in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the singer of this song is the Phoenix Legendary Group, which is known as the leader of square dance.
Phoenix Legends, a classic group with super high visibility, two people reigned supreme in the singing world for 24 years.
When the Nine Moon Wonders and Chopstick Brothers were disbanded, the Phoenix Legends were still the same, harboring the same ideals of **** dreaming of the entertainment world.
And now the end of the other combinations is a proof of the sobriety of the Phoenix Legends.
After Phoenix Legends became popular, Zeng Yi became a target of many people, as long as the Phoenix Legends together, Zeng Yi will not be able to escape from the "take the same money to sing the least words" of the flirtation.
More flirting, but also let Zeng Yi suffered from the question, but also let more and more people think, Linghua top Phoenix Legends combination of days, no Linghua without today's Phoenix Legends.
However, in the face of these challenges, Zeng Yi not only does not defend himself, but will also take the initiative to bring up this terrain to laugh at themselves.
Perhaps in hindsight, Linghua is indeed more famous than Zeng Yi.
What we don't know, however, is that without Zeng Yi's discerning eye, there would be no Linghua today.
Zeng Yi was born in 1973 in Yiyang City, Hunan Province.
Born into a family of farmers, he gave up school at an early age to work in order to support his family.
Singing became his spiritual support during that difficult time.
During the day, he worked as a repairman, and at night, he would go to a bar to sing, and the money he earned would be saved to supplement his family's income.
He paid a portion of the money he earned from his part-time job, and then bought all the rest on disks, which he then learned to sing and dance on.
"The first money I used to make, when I gave it to my father his hands were shaking, the whole 10,000 dollars, he had never seen it." Zeng Yi recalled.
Compared to Zeng Yi, Linghua, who lives far away in Inner Mongolia, is a little better off.
Linghua was born in the prairie of Inner Mongolia, and her family was relatively wealthy, living a life of herding horses in the east and sheep in the west.
It is well known that people in the prairie are passionate and bold, and they are born with a good voice. A good family education, coupled with Linghua's outstanding musical talent, paved the way for her artistic path.
It's just a shame that Linghua didn't continue to develop her artistic path after graduating from art school.
Because her parents felt that the art of this road is not good, the risk is too great, so Linghua listened to her parents arranged to return to their hometown to find a salesman's job, every day living a nine-to-five life.
I thought that with the passage of time, the art dream in Linghua's heart will be worn out, but I did not expect her to be more and more tired of this life.
They made a bold decision to go to Shenzhen to pursue their dreams.
In 1997, after convincing her parents, Linghua traveled to Shenzhen by train alone.
On the other hand, Zeng Yi was no slouch, and his close friends agreed that he shouldn't bury his musical talent, and that he should venture out.
So after much deliberation, Zeng Yi gave up his stable job and defected to his best friend who runs the Golden Age cabaret in Shenzhen.
The big city has a lot of competition but also a lot of opportunities, and with his experience as a singer, he quickly became a pillar of the Golden Age.
Less than a year later, he was promoted to director because of his unique musical talent.
Zeng Yi's development has been relatively smooth, in contrast to Linghua, who has repeatedly hit the wall since arriving in Shenzhen in 1997.
She's been to Window of the World and Famous Customs Village, but she's been brushed off.
It wasn't until the end of 1998 that Linghua came to Golden Age.
Here, Linghua met Zeng Yi, and was then successfully signed under the cabaret banner.
"I still remember the first time I saw him, with long earrings and a leather jacket, and I was like this guy is so ugly."
This is what Linghua thought when she first met Zeng Yi, and she probably couldn't have imagined at the time that the man she disliked as ugly would become her partner in the future.
At that time, there was a very hot group in Korea called Cool Dragon, which was the idol of Linghua and Zeng Yi.
To show their love for Cool Dragon, Zeng Yi and Linghua formed a group called Cool Fire.
Originally created for fun, they never imagined that the combination of the two would not only become the pillars of the Performing Arts Center, but also make them the gold standard of the Shenzhen performance market.
Most people come to see the show because of Zeng Yi and Linghua.
The boss realized the business opportunity and in May, another singer from the company joined the duo.
In May of the same year, singer Zhang Jie joined, and the group was renamed "Hair Nuts".
The trio then went on to perform for four hours a day,
but sadly, the group didn't have much of a future, so Zhang Jie quit after less than a year.
Now the group is once again left with Zeng Yi and Linghua, and the name has been changed back to the old Cool Fire.
Don't look at Zeng Yi now, he only has a few words to say, when he was in the group, he was in the group, but he had several jobs, more importantly, Zeng Yi is good at all kinds of things, breakdancing, folk dancing, and he is very good at it.
At the time, Linghua called him a teacher.
Undoubtedly, at that time, Linghua was the same as Zeng Yi now, the "green leaf" of the group.
But soon after, Linghua took her first turn in life.
The SARS outbreak of 2003, like the current epidemic, has been a source of great anxiety.
At that time, the famous musician He Muyang wrote a public service song to fight against SARS, so he wanted to find a female singer with a tense voice to sing.
When he came to the cabaret looking for a singer, he saw Linghua on stage, singing, and was instantly attracted to her voice.
After Linghua's performance, He Muyang went backstage to ask for Linghua's phone number and expressed his desire to sign Linghua.
At the time, Linghua was shocked and delighted, and immediately dialed her boss's number.
"Who do you think you are, and build you, it's not like they're looking at you, right?"
An ordinary person should be devastated to hear this. However, Linghua did the opposite, and directly looked for the address left by He Muyang.
Linghua was thinking of beating a dead horse, just in case it's true.
After arriving, Linghua realized that it was a regular big company, or one of the top record companies in the country.
While she was in a state of disbelief, she was also faced with a dilemma: the company was only going to sign her to a record label.
One is a partner who has been working together for years, and the other is a chance to make it to the top.
After Linghua found He Muyang, he said he could spend a lot of money to package her and give her a place in the singing world, without mentioning his partner, Zeng Yi, in his words.
And at this point, Linghua said after much deliberation, "I'm a combination of Zeng Yi, and I'm only signing him up if he signs up as well.
In fact, the reason why Linghua was so insistent on bringing Zeng Yi with her was not that they had a high degree of tacit understanding, but that Zeng Yi helped her a lot when Linghua first came to the country and had no one to turn to.
In the beginning, Zeng Yi was the lead singer, it is reasonable to say that the lead singer's salary is higher than others, but Zeng Yi insisted on 50/50 with Linghua, which also made Linghua very moved.
That's why there was the scene at the beginning.
And it just so happens that He Muyang is a man who cherishes talent, and he values Linghua's talent and doesn't want to give up such a good seed, so he signed Zeng Yi by the way.
In 2004, Cool Fire changed their name to Phoenix Legends and started their own show.
However, the long way to go, the signing of the company they did not overnight success, but rather a very poor life.
According to a source, the two were not allowed to perform privately because they were signed to a company, which left them with no financial resources.
At the time when the two were most destitute, it was Zeng Yi who borrowed money from his friends to maintain their daily expenses.
After a year of wallowing, the group Phoenix Legends finally turned a corner.
In 2005, the Phoenix Legends were the runners-up on the Avenue of Stars, and their extremely catchy songs were instantly recognized across the country.
"Above the Moon", "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond", "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Wind" and so on, has become the square dance song in the hearts of countless mothers.
However, people are red, they are red, but the voice of the trolls also come one after another.
"What's the use of that man in the Phoenix Legends group?"
"Just yell a couple times why bring him on stage? Are they a couple?"
Undoubtedly, all of these are directed at Zeng Yi, and in the face of these questions, Linghua stood up for her partner time and time again: We're a good partner for life, and we'll keep on singing.
Nay, the audience does not believe that the two are partners, has always suspected that the two are lovers.
It was only when it was rumored that the two had long had their own families that viewers believed they were really just good partners.
In March 2011, Linghua married her husband in Inner Mongolia.
On November 20, 2011, Zeng Yi and Li Na, a girl from Xinjiang, got married in their hometown in Hunan.
After the marriage, the two rarely appeared in the public eye, especially Linghua, began to focus on the family, married to a well-priced entertainment boss, Linghua even if not working life can also live a red-hot.
On the contrary, Zeng Yi, as the pillar of the family, that must be struggling, so when they do not perform, Zeng Yi will invest.
However, some people claim that Zeng Yi is not good at investing, so most of the investment projects are informed by failure, and finally not only did not make money, but lost blood money, debt.
We have no way of checking whether it's true or not, but as long as the group is not disbanded, it can still make a comeback.
Looking back, there have been many groups, but very few have lasted as long as they have.
Even the Nine Moon Miracle, which was once a husband and wife team, eventually became the most familiar stranger.
And the reason why the Phoenix Legends can stick to the present, in addition to understanding that the interests of the relationship can not be mixed feelings, but also to borrow Zeng Yi's words:
"As a combination, the ultimate thing is to find a generous partner."
At that time, Zeng Yi borrowed money is two people to spend, then now earn money must also be if two people to spend, they know how to achieve each other, a combination of two people is bound to have a party to compromise, and this is the Phoenix Legends of sobriety.
