Do you remember the grand Olympic opening ceremony in 2008? Do you remember the "girl in red" Lin Miaoke who sang "Singing the Motherland" at the opening ceremony? What was the first keyword that came to her mind?
An Olympic opening ceremony has turned a person's life upside down. This change, such as people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge.
The stream and clouds rise at the beginning of the sun and sink the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building
"Hello, are you Lin Miaoke's mother, we are the staff of the Organizing Committee of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games, because I saw some of Miaoke's works, I think she is very compatible with the children we need at the opening ceremony, can you bring Miaoke to us to try a sound?"
Four months before the opening of the Olympic Games, Lin Mu received this phone call, which closely linked Lin Miaoke to the Olympic Games and changed her fate in life.
Fast forward to 1999, when a cultural family in Beijing, full of art, welcomed their first child, a beautiful girl, and named her Lin Miaoke.
Perhaps inheriting the artistic cells of her relatives, when she was a toddler, she was full of interest in the "little people" on TV who bounced while singing and jumping, and would dance to imitate those "little people" every day.
As a result, Lin's mother discovered her daughter's interest in music. With the purpose of raising her daughter, Lin Mu sent her to learn music and dance. At that time, Lin Miaoke's life was filled with music and study, busy and quiet.
This tranquility is shattered by the shooting invitation of an advertisement.
A relative of the Lin family who is engaged in the advertising industry, when filming and casting an advertisement, thought of Lin Miaoke, who looked cute and had a sweet smile, and thought that she was very suitable, so he asked Lin Mu to take her to the audition.
In this audition, at the age of five, she was not afraid of the stage, did not fear the camera, successfully completed the audition task, and shot the advertisement.
This advertisement allowed Lin Miaoke to "half a foot" step into the entertainment circle. Since then, her mother has continued to take various commercial shoots for her, and even took her to participate in film and television dramas.
None of this has allowed the little one to attract people's attention in the big entertainment industry. The real turning point in Lin Miaoke's life was the phone call to the Olympic Group that invited her to audition.
At that time, Lin Mu gladly agreed to the invitation to audition, in her view, the Olympic Games is a big event celebrated by the whole country, if her children can perform on it, the children can get exercise, and her face has light.
When they arrived at the audition site, the staff successively let Lin Miaoke sing and play the piano. Finally, the staff told Lin Mu: "Miaoke's performance is very good, and the specific results will wait for the notification." ”
That's two months. In mid-June, Lin Mu received a call from the Olympic Group and told her: "Congratulations, Miao passed the audition, and I hope to bring Miao Ke to discuss specific matters tomorrow." In this way, Lin Miaoke began the training of the opening ceremony program.
At the same time, another child also began to train, she is Yang Peiyi.
Yang Peiyi passed the step-by-step selection of the education system with his excellent voice conditions and entered the final training stage.
The two children have their own strengths and weaknesses. Lin Miaoke looks sweet and cute, not afraid of the stage, has performance experience, and the pitch is lacking; Yang Peiyi has a good timbre and accurate tone, because of the tooth change, the appearance conditions are not prominent.
In the face of these two different children, Zhang Yimou, the general director of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, once fell into trouble. The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is a big deal, there can be no mistakes, and the casting must be able to show the image of the country.
At first, Zhang Yimou thought that Lin Miaoke's image was good, and the pitch problem should not be a big problem with the cooperation of the chorus. But the relevant technical team constantly emphasized her pitch problem, which made him a little unsure.
In order to ensure that the performance is foolproof, they formulated a plan for Lin Miaoke to perform on stage and use Yang Peiyi's recording of the sound.
Cautiously, Zhang Yimou asked the IOC's international broadcasting team for their opinion on the plan, and they told Zhang Yimou: "We think this is a situational performance, so it is no problem to do so." ”
In this way, using Yang Peiyi's voice, Lin Miaoke's performance plan was finally determined. What everyone did not expect was that this plan brought Lin Miaoke a storm that lasted for several years.
The wind swept the rivers and lakes and rained the dark village, and the sound of the four mountains was overturned by the waves
"The five-star red flag is waving in the wind, and how loud the victory song is..."
Lin Miaoke's sweet smile and the sweet singing behind it spread to the hearts of the audience, into the streets and alleys, and into thousands of households.
The people of the whole country knew the girl who wore a ponytail and a red dress at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
"Ah, how can there be such a cute child, singing so good!"
"It's so nice, so touching!"
Praise like this poured into Lin Miaoke's life in an instant. Her materials and information were constantly reprinted and commented on the Internet, and various media outlets flocked to her for interviews, and she even appeared on the cover of Time magazine the next day.
Life is like a drama, and these stormy praises come to an abrupt end after four days.
Chen Qigang, music director of the Olympic Games, revealed in an interview: "What we finally adopted was that Lin Miaoke performed on stage and played Yang Peiyi's voice. Because her physical advantage is blameless, Yang Peiyi's voice is recognized by our team as blameless, and the combination of the two is the most perfect, which can maximize the display of our national culture. ”
Suddenly, public opinion exploded, and the negative evaluation that followed also smashed into Lin Miaoke like a wild storm.
People cling to the "false singing" and make a big fuss. In the eyes of the media and the public, Lin Miaoke became a "bad girl who stole Yang Peiyi's life" and "a liar", and her evaluation of her took a sharp turn.
Since then, her life and "the girl who replaced the voice of others at the Olympic Games" are inseparable, her every move has been infinitely amplified by the media, and her failures in life have been ridiculed by the media in the public.
Admittedly, Lin Miao can fake sing at the Olympics. But what can a nine-year-old child who has never done anything about the world decide? She just listened to the director and her parents, performed the show seriously, and contributed to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Before the false singing incident, the media rendered Lin Miaoke as a sweet and cute singing little angel, a young and famous child star.
After the fake singing incident, the media firmly grasped the "false singing" and vigorously exaggerated lin Miaoke's identity as a "thief", but could ignore Chen Qigang's "she didn't know that she was singing in a false singing". In this storm, she is the most innocent.
In order to pursue commercial interests, the media grabbed the public's attention and blindly reported negative news about Lin Miaoke one-sidedly.
And this hype constantly spreads a stereotype to the public, Lin Miao can easily gain the fame and honor that originally belonged to Yang Peiyi, she is a bad child.
This stereotype is not easy to dispel, and it is becoming more and more profound under the use of the media. Therefore, when people see some news that Lin Miao is not good enough, they will naturally think of the negative news of that year, and the two are superimposed, resulting in a vicious circle.
After the Olympic Games, a large number of advertising and commercial activities and even film and television dramas flocked in for a short period of time. Lin Miaoke frequently "brushed his face" in front of the public, and this kind of behavior was labeled as "quick success" and "vanity".
In fact, Lin Miaoke's shooting has not increased significantly compared with before the Olympics, but because every shooting has been closely reported by the media, the public will think that her shooting has increased significantly.
In interviews, her smile turned into a fake smile in people's eyes and was labeled "hypocritical".
Faced with similar questions such as "which star do you like to work with the most", "What are your grades", she avoided the heavy answer and was labeled as "sleek and sophisticated".
Her cheek-hugging posture in the stills has been described as "contrived".
She grew up slowly, her appearance changed, she did not grow into the "beautiful woman" that people expected, and was said to be "long and disabled".
Changes in the appearance of small children are uncontrollable. After Lin Miaoke became an adult, her facial features were upright, and there was no difference with ordinary girls, but she was not as beautiful as people expected.
The media and the public have attached the label of "long disability" to her. But the standard of "long disability" is given by the mass media and the public according to their own standards, and it is obviously unfair to blindly treat a child with criticism and contempt.
Lin Miaoke seemed to be doing everything wrong. This public opinion peaked in 2013.
One day in 2013, as usual, Lin Mu picked up her daughter from school and ate noodles at the school gate. Lin Miaoke watched the waiter roll the noodles, thought it was very interesting, and offered to try it himself.
Her face was recorded by her mother, and she thought it was very cute, so she posted it on Lin Miaoke's Weibo.
A microblog that records his life, but the comments in the comment area are not impressive. A large number of adult explicit remarks are shocking under the Weibo of an underage child.
In the face of this situation, Lin Mu was very angry, and wrote in Lin Miaoke's Weibo: Remarks harmful to people's physical and mental health should be eradicated, he is not allowed to survive on the Internet, and he is not allowed to pollute the air on the Internet... This is an expression of her dissatisfaction and anger at those bad remarks.
The microblog received a lot of attention, even comments from Kai-Fu Lee, chairman of Innovation, who believed that freedom of speech was difficult to define and advised her to tolerate such inappropriate speech rather than blindly delete it.
This comment has led to discussions about "freedom of speech" and "insults and slanders", which has gradually brought "online violence" into people's field of vision.
After rational analysis, people's impression of Lin Miaoke seems to have improved, and they no longer blindly publish negative evaluations about her.
The peaceful life always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Miao has reached the critical moment of the college entrance examination. Everyone wants to see what kind of prestigious school this "Olympic girl" can attend.
In the art examination, Lin Miaoke successively fell behind the Beijing Film Academy, the Central Conservatory of Music, and the Central Academy of Drama, and was admitted to the Nanjing Academy of the Arts with the sixth major.
Compared with the star candidates of her same class, her results appeared to be unremarkable, and a large number of reports came to her, mocking her as a modern version of "Fang Zhongyong", believing that she was only concerned with fame and fortune, and did not study seriously...
Some people even repeat the old story, comparing her with Yang Peiyi, who has already studied in the United States, and think that her current situation is regrettable.
Obviously, Lin Miaoke still lives under the negative public opinion of the public.
There is great vanity and nobility in the world, and there is no king for a hundred years
The negative image of Lin Miaoke, who has no wind and no waves, is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and her mother is the promoter of all negative news.
After Lin Miaoke became famous, Lin Mu was reluctant to hand over her daughter to a professional brokerage company, she believed that those companies were useless, and could only draw from them, not only did her daughter lose her freedom, but also did not get any benefits.
Therefore, Lin Mu resigned and single-handedly took care of all her daughter's life and business activities, becoming Lin Miaoke's agent.
Lin Mu believes that her daughter has participated in the Olympic Games, looks beautiful, has a high reputation, and wants to cultivate her daughter into a big star. When this idea meets Lin Mu's unprofessional brokerage behavior, it makes Lin Miao's activities in the entertainment industry a "joke".
Whenever Lin Miaoke participated in business activities, Lin Mu always chose clothes for her daughter according to her own vision. The elderly Lin Mu did not know enough about the current fashion trends, and her image of old-fashioned and outdated clothing was greatly reduced.
The labels of "soil", "village" and "big mother dress" are tightly attached to Lin Miaoke.
When the heat of the Olympic Games subsided, For the sake of economic benefits, Lin Mu did not seriously distinguish whether the activities were suitable for young children, and blindly responded. The news that 13-year-old Lin Miao can advertise for bars and endorse the fertility fund platform is jaw-dropping.
What is even more exaggerated is that Lin Miaoke has an emotional scene with a 37-year-old male actor in the film and television drama he participated in, which is shocking and unacceptable.
Lin Mu firmly grasped all the activities of her daughter in her own hands.
Due to her lack of professional knowledge, she could not find rich resources for Lin Miaoke, make suitable packaging and planning, could not provide timely public relations for Lin Miaoke when she was under the pressure of negative public opinion, and even could not make clothes and styles that conformed to the fashion trends of the times for Lin Miaoke.
Obviously, Lin Mu "delayed" Lin Miaoke's acting future. In life, Lin Mu also firmly controls her daughter.
In order not to let her daughter be affected by negative news, Lin Mu did not allow her to play with mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices, and did not allow her to access the Internet. In that era of rapid network development, such an approach greatly accelerated Lin Miaoke's disconnect with society.
In order to "understand" her daughter more deeply, Lin Mu supervised Lin Miaoke almost in an all-round way. In an interview, she proudly said: "I have a very good relationship with my daughter, I know her mobile phone password, Weibo password and so on, there is no secret between the two of us." ”
But think about it, how terrible it is to have a flower girl without secrets.
Lin Miaoke's control makes Lin Miaoke lose the normal growth process of a child, and excessive commercial activities squeeze her campus life, making her lose the best opportunity to learn cultural knowledge.
These financially beneficial activities did not further explore Lin Miaoke's artistic talent, and she failed to sink her heart into music and performance to accumulate experience, study carefully, and even consume her aura.
Pu Cunxin, an actor who has worked with Lin Miaoke, said very bluntly in an interview: "She is a child. But she had too many shots, she should stop and grow up like a normal child, and acting should be something to do after high school. ”
Obviously, Mother Lin has always played a leading role in her daughter's life. The leader of this makes Lin Miaoke's small half of her life in a state of chaos, she has to study and participate in activities, both singing and acting.
Busy but without goals, Lin Miaoke did not know enough about herself, and at that time, she did not even know which aspect she would develop in the entertainment industry in the future.
After entering the university, Lin Miaoke's life gradually fell out of her mother's control, she reduced her participation in activities, the number of public appearances became less and less, and it was rare to enjoy a period of worry-free campus life.
In these four years of college life, she calmly studied professional courses and studied acting; made many like-minded friends, they studied entertainment together; and became more "grounded" and experienced the lives of ordinary people.
More importantly, in college, she found her future direction, and she hopes to become a good actor in the future.
Now, Lin Miaoke has graduated from Nanyi, no longer blindly obeys his mother's arrangement, strives to find activities suitable for himself, and cherishes the opportunity to record songs and participate in programs.
Her most recent debut was on the eve of the National Day in 2021, when she was invited by CCTV to participate in the National Day special program "Echo Loud" and sing "Sing the Motherland".
Lin Miaoke, who received the invitation, was very excited. It's been almost a year since she last took the stage, and she misses the feeling of standing on stage.
In order to be able to present a perfect stage effect, Lin Miaoke worked very hard. She practiced the song she had become familiar with over and over again in private, afraid that her tone would not be accurate.
At the rehearsal site, without delaying the other personnel, she sincerely asked the staff to help her rehearse a few more times, in case there was an error on the spot.
In order to look good on the photo, she forced herself to lose a little thinner, losing nearly ten pounds in less than a month.
Skilled and diligent, Lin Miaoke's efforts were not in vain, and she brought a perfect performance to the audience.
The slender Lin Miaoke wore a long red dress, and her beautiful face was made up of exquisite makeup, and she sang the song "Singing the Motherland" once again with a clear and loud singing voice.
Many said the show was like taking them back to the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympics, where they saw the nine-year-old "girl in red" again, but this time it was her own voice.
Unfortunately, Lin Miaoke did not get too much attention because of this. People's impression of her stops at "it turns out that she sings well", and there is no interest or channel to learn more about her.
Now that it is 2022, Lin Miaoke's heat has disappeared in these 14 years. In the ever-changing entertainment circle, Lin Miao has become a drop in the ocean.
But from another point of view, she also got rid of the strange circle of "doing nothing seems to be wrong" and stood at a new starting point.
As long as she can continue to sink her heart to hone her acting skills and strive hard, she will definitely have a bright future. I hope that in the future, she can firmly believe that the years will not live up to her hard work, hard work and pressure, and all the good will come as promised.
