From Above the Moon to the Most Dazzling National Style, and then to Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, this music group has achieved its reputation with its well-known music works and has become a national-renowned music group.

Since its establishment, Phoenix Legend has experienced 24 years of ups and downs. From the perspective of a music group, it is not easy to have such a "life span".

This is also a curious place. As the soul of Phoenix Legend, how did the relationship between Ling Hua and Ceng Yi not deteriorate in more than 20 years?

Didn't the two men argue over the distribution of remuneration? Perhaps this is related to the principle of "50-50 split".

1980, a young couple in Inner Mongolia welcomed their daughter Ling Hua.

As a girl who grew up on the grassland, Ling Hua is generous, good at singing and dancing, and often likes to dance on the grass.

Maybe she really likes dancing, and Ling Hua hopes that she can achieve something in her dancing career in the future.

Unfortunately, however, after graduating from school, her parents asked Ling Hua to return to work in her hometown. They think dancing is just doing nothing.

Ling Hua's arm couldn't twist her thigh, so she had to.

However, Ling Hua did not give up. It took two years to finally convince her parents to let her go to Shenzhen to find her dreams alone.

Ling Hua came to Shenzhen with great expectations, but was soon shattered by reality. She sent resumes everywhere, and no company was willing to accept her.

Seeing that the living expenses are running out, Ling Hua can only find some part-time jobs to solve the problem of food and clothing.

One day, Ling Hua happened to see the recruitment information of the ballroom, and felt that his dancing skills were not bad, so he crustily skin of head and walked into the ballroom.

At that time, Ling Hua was interviewed by the director of the ballroom and her partner Ceng Yi, who had worked with her for more than 20 years.

Ling Hua's family is very rich. Her father is a judge and her mother is an artist. Such excellent parents let Ling Hua not worry about life since he was a child.

Unlike Ling Hua, Ceng Yi was born in a poor mountain village in Hunan. He has even solved the problem of food and clothing since he was a child. How can he have the conditions to pursue his dreams like Ling Hua?

If you persist in dreaming, I'm afraid Ceng Yi's biggest dream at that time was to be able to feed himself and his family, and never have to go hungry again.

However, this is such a simple dream that Ceng Yi cannot realize it.

After graduating from technical secondary school, Ceng Yi began to take a formal job and do all kinds of hard work in the society, but he never made any money.

Before meeting Ling Hua, Ceng Yi worked in a factory with a monthly salary of only 80 yuan. He can hardly maintain his own food and clothes, and there is nothing to help his family, which makes Ceng Yi feel very depressed.

In order to relieve the anguish in his heart, Ceng Yi often goes to the ballroom to sing in his spare time in the evening.

Maybe it's because Ceng Yi is a talented person. One day, his workmates said to him, "If you sing so well, go to Shenzhen, where there are many opportunities." .

From 65438 to 0998, at the suggestion of a friend, Ceng Yi came to Shenzhen without leaving Wan Li. Later, through his own efforts, he successfully became the director of a ballroom, which also created opportunities for him to know Ling Hua.

Although Ling Hua was not famous at that time, Ceng Yi had a good eye and felt that Linghua had a lot of room for development. So with the consent of the other party, she and Ling Hua and another girl formed a music group and began to perform and sing everywhere.

Maybe she was too tired to perform everywhere, and another girl left the music group after informing them.

The girl left easily, which embarrassed Ling Hua and Ceng Yi. They find it difficult for them to accomplish anything.

Only then did they know that it was because of the girl's departure that the famous Phoenix Legend was created.

At that time, there was a wave of "Korean Wave" in China. After the girl left, the two simply did the same thing and re-established a music group-Cool Fire according to the "Korean Wave Model".

Maybe it's because she didn't grow up. At first, Ling Hua could only be regarded as an ornament in "Cool Fire", and she was playing with the great god Ceng Yi.

At that time, the lead singer, planner and director were all signed by Ceng Yi. Ling Hua looks more like a vase, and hardly plays much role.

Even so, this music group is still slowly gaining popularity and creating higher and higher profits.

High income is a good thing, but Ling Hua feels a little embarrassed about the issue of dividing accounts.

Because this music group is basically supported by Ceng Yi alone, according to the principle of "more work, more pay", Ceng Yi should take most of the benefits.

However, when dividing the accounts, Ceng Yi demanded a "50-50 split". He thinks it is not easy for Ling Hua to travel outside alone.

Ling Hua, with a good face, naturally refused to split the bill, and repeatedly refused Ceng Yi, but Ceng Yi insisted that she accept it every time.

Ceng Yi's friendship is a timely gift that cannot be forgotten today. -

With the development of time, their fame is growing, and their income is also rising.

However, no matter how the income changed, Ceng Yi always insisted on "fifty-fifty split", which made their friendship never waver after many storms.

In 2002, the SARS epidemic spread in Guangdong, which made people all over the country feel uneasy.

At that time, people from all walks of life in China hoped to contribute to the fight against the epidemic, including music producer He Muyang.

He Muyang wrote a public service song, hoping to find a singer with a high voice to sing. At that time, Ceng Yi and Ling Hua, which had already become famous, became his first choice.

The song "Above the Moon" written by He Muyang will be popular all over the country in the future.

In 2004, Above the Moon was officially released, and later became one of the hottest songs of that year.

It's just strange that Ceng Yi and Ling Hua didn't catch fire as the original singers, when songs were obviously spread all over the country.

Fortunately, there are people who know the goods. Chen Rentai, chairman of Peacock Records Company, after hearing the song Above the Moon, with keen intuition, concluded that there are huge business opportunities in Ling Hua.

So Chen Rentai went directly to Ling Hua: Sign a contract with me and I promise I will use all my resources to make you famous.

Chen Rentai's invitation was like a pie in the sky, which made Ling Hua, then only 23 years old, so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, Ling Hua found Ceng Yi and told him about it.

Ceng Yi pondered for a while, then said, You just make a decision, and I will accompany you. Ceng Yi said this sentence very smartly, but only he knows the pressure behind it.

Because now both of them have stable and high-paying jobs, if Ling Hua decides to cooperate with Chen Rentai, it means giving up everything in sight and betting on an uncertain future.

Unlike Ling Hua, if she loses in gambling, she will have a chance to start over. But if Ceng Yi loses gambling, what if she needs to support her elderly parents at home?

Ceng Yi made this decision, which was undoubtedly a surprise for him, but when he signed the contract, the development of things made him feel embarrassed.

Because the other side told him: We just want to sign Ling Hua. The implication is to let Ceng Yi stay in a cool place.

Hearing this, Ling Hua was unhappy on the spot: either we sign together or we don't sign at all.

The other side is very optimistic about the potential commercial value of Ling Hua, and finally they can only hold their noses and sign Ceng Yi.

At that time, Ceng Yi and Ling Hua both liked to play a game called Legend, which happened to be a man and a woman, a phoenix and a phoenix.

So the agent made a decision, and the name "Phoenix Legend" came out.

Although it later spread all over the country, at first, "Phoenix Legend" was as unknown as other music groups, which also led to a sharp drop in the income of Ceng Yi and Ling Hua.

Fortunately, Ceng Yi has a wide network of contacts and makes a living by borrowing money. It is worth mentioning that the money borrowed by Ceng Yi at that time was also shared with Ling Hua.

Such a difficult life, until the emergence of cell phone ringtones, can be considered a complete change.

Maybe it's the high singing skills. After the appearance of ringtones, the download volume of Above the Moon in China increased greatly, even surpassing Yu-Ching Fei's A Thousand Miles Away, which also made Ceng Yi and Ling Hua more and more famous.

Later, the Spring Festival Evening also sent an invitation to the two people, hoping that they could sing "Above the Moon" on stage, which made their fame reach its peak.

Since then, the two have officially opened the era of "Phoenix Legend", and released songs such as "The Most Dazzling National Style" and "Flying Free" one after another, so that more and more people know about this music group.

With the skyrocketing fame, the income of the two has also risen.

Ceng Yi approached Ling Hua to discuss the issue of splitting the accounts, and felt that Ling Hua should take four-fifths of the income.

Because at that time, their identities had been reversed. Phoenix Legend was basically supported by Ling Hua alone, while Ceng Yi became a soy sauce maker.

Ling Hua rejected Ceng Yi's idea and said firmly: As before, we will split the bill equally, as you told me at the beginning, which is non-negotiable.

Some people are keen on Ling Hua: Ceng Yi can only sing a few words "Yo, Yo, Yo". Why did he take half the income?

In fact, these people don't know that without Ceng Yi, there would be no Ling Hua today.

Ling Hua kept Ceng Yi's kindness in mind, waiting for the day when she could repay him.

Fortunately, this day has finally arrived.

Ceng Yi not only knows how to sing "Yo, Yo, Yo". Before Phoenix Legend, Ceng Yi was their lead singer.

After the establishment of Phoenix Legend, Ceng Yi was even willing to be a green leaf and learn to rap in order to set off Ling Hua's red flowers.

It's not that he doesn't have real skills, but he just chooses to give in.

It may be unfair to outsiders that Ceng Yi can earn so much money without blowing off dust. These people simply can't see Ceng Yi's efforts behind his back.

On 20021,Phoenix Legend covered "Under the Sea" in the program, and his unique interpretation caused up to 500 million topic discussions on social media, which broke ground successfully.

After a year, the two got up again, once again boarded the stage of praise for Song, and adapted and covered the hit song "Love as a Prison".

In the program, the two also made it clear that:

As the saying goes, "people die for money, birds die for food."

There are so many music groups in the entertainment circle that there are not a few groups that have parted ways because of uneven accounting or different development directions.

The group "Rising Sun Masculine", which became popular by singing "In Spring", became popular. After that, a group of three brokers went their separate ways because of uneven accounting, and finally parted ways.

A gentleman loves money. Don't hurt his friends and his personality for money.

In this impetuous society, most people only talk about interests, thus ignoring the existence of feelings and going the wrong way.

The existence of Phoenix Legend just proves to us that not all feelings can be broken by interests.

Now they have worked together for 24 years, and their feelings remain the same. They can stick to their roots and love singing. I sincerely hope that they can go on like this forever.
