In 2008, at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, nine-year-old Lin Miaoke became popular for singing "Singing the Motherland" on the lens of the world.
However, within two days of becoming popular, this little sister was exposed to be a fake singer, and the leader behind the scenes was Zhang Yimou, who was revered as the "National Master".
It's unthinkable and hard to believe, but that's how it happened.
At the opening ceremony, the real singer of this "Singing the Motherland" was a little girl named Yang Peiyi, but she could not perform on stage because of "image problems".
After this matter was exposed, the old strategist was very unwilling to go, and his heart was also particularly remorseful, but it was all too late.
Because of a wrong arrangement by the old strategist, two children of the same age, the fate of two completely different directions.
1
Lin Miaoke was born in 1999, and Yang Peiyi was two years younger than her, born in 2001, the year of the Olympic Games, one was nine years old and the other was seven years old.
Lin Miaoke's parents are high-level intellectuals, one is a photojournalist for Beijing's Legal Evening News, and the other is a university professor.
And Yang Peiyi's parents are not bad, her father is engaged in scientific research, and her mother is also a highly educated person, but because her parents like music, so she is infected, Yang Peiyi also has a special love for music.
Because Lin Miaoke grew up sweet-looking, lively and cheerful, Mother Lin set a life route for this girl from an early age, that is, to take the road of art.
To this end, Lin's mother reported to her various talents such as piano class, dance class, flute class, etc., and used her family's advantages in Beijing and her own connections to let Lin Miaoke start to make cameo appearances in the crew.
At the age of eight, Lin Miaoke had the honor of participating in two TV series, one starring Wang Zhiwen and Xu Qing in "Forgiveness", and the other being "Spring Grass" starring Tao Hong.
It was precisely because of starring in these two dramas that Lin Miaoke attracted the attention of Zhang Yimou, an old strategist, and was lucky enough to be selected as a child soloist for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Yang Peiyi is different, her parents are more enlightened, for the growth of their daughter has never been deliberately planned, completely according to her interests to support her.
She likes to sing, and Yang's father encouraged her to sing, but did not deliberately give her interest classes, but completely went with the flow and let it develop.
But even so, Yang Peiyi has shown excellent talent in singing, and has won many awards in children's singing competitions held by the school and Beijing.
And she was also invited to CCTV to record children's programs, which gradually gained a certain reputation in Beijing, while it was just in time for the preparation of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
At the opening ceremony, there happened to be a children's solo program, so the Olympic Organizing Committee had a selection activity for children to sing, but after trying a large circle, none of the voices could impress the old strategists.
In the end, the staff of Lao Mouzi found Yang Peiyi's father and invited his daughter to audition for the Olympic Organizing Committee, so Yang Peiyi accompanied by his father went to the scene.
At the same time, Lin Miaoke also went to the scene, because of the fate of an audition, these two little cute people had the first encounter in their lives, thus starting a different life.

After Yang Peiyi auditioned, none of the members of the entire Lao Mouzi team objected, and they all agreed that her voice was the most suitable singer to sing this song.
For Lin Miaoke, although she has a professional training in singing, singing relies on personal talent, and her voice is obviously better than Yang Peiyi.
But lao Mozi's requirements are more stringent, and he hopes that the children who perform on stage must have three conditions:
One is to have an image; Second, the song should be sweet; Third, we must have the clarity and innocence of domestic children.
Compared with thousands of children, Lin Miaoke has two of the three conditions of the old man, but for the sweet sound, Lin Miaoke is obviously almost a distance.
But Yang Peiyi is different, her singing voice is particularly perfect, her voice is also very sweet, close your eyes and simply listen to her singing, that is a kind of spiritual enjoyment.
But for her image, the benevolent see the wise, and the old strategist, who is the decision-maker, is even more hesitant and does not know how to choose.
The reason why Lao Mozi hesitated was because there were two more small episodes:
One is that Yang Peiyi is in the period of changing teeth, and the image is not perfect;
The second is because he has seen the "Sky" MV that Lin Miaoke and Tan Jing have cooperated with.
In this MV, Lin Miaoke's performance is perfect, not only the performance is natural, but also the smile is also very sweet, which is very in line with his requirements to have the clear and innocent characteristics of Chinese children.
Coupled with the fact that Lin Miaoke has participated in film and television dramas before this, as the director's old strategist, he knows very well in his heart that when the actors are broadcast live, their mental literacy is very important.
And the cultivation of this psychological quality is not just with the mouth, it requires a person to be honed on the set for a long time to form.
Yang Peiyi, who rarely performs on stage, is obviously lacking in this regard, plus this is a live broadcast that the whole world is paying attention to, and there is no room for error.
For the sake of safety, lao Mozi finally came up with such a strange trick, letting Lin Miaoke perform on stage, and Yang Peiyi sang in the background.
Such a plan, killing two birds with one stone, perfectly avoids the worries of the old strategist and greatly reduces the probability of errors on the spot.
In the end, the old strategist plan was finalized, and the two children also began to rehearse intensively, one performing false singing on stage and one skillfully singing offstage.
The two perfectly performed this song "Singing the Motherland" at the opening ceremony, but Lin Miaoke was on fire, and Yang Peiyi was unknown.

After the opening ceremony, Lin Miaoke became the object of everyone's enthusiasm, and was also the hottest little girl of the year, in today's words, the top actress.
Overnight, Lin Miaoke was on fire, and the fire was a mess.
But the fire did not last for a few days, and rumors about her fake singing began to spread, and her reputation began to skyrocket, taking a big turn.
Many people began to accuse Lin Miaoke, saying that she stole someone else's life and carried what should have belonged to others in her pocket.
To this end, Lin Miaoke was very aggrieved, and even aggrieved to cry, because in the process of live broadcasting, it can be clearly seen from the picture that Lin Miaoke is indeed singing.
But alas, she only sang to herself, because her microphone had long been cut off by the behind-the-scenes staff.
With the fermentation of the incident, the little girl Yang Peiyi, who really sang this song behind the scenes, gradually surfaced, but only surfaced.
Lin Miao can be wronged, Yang Peiyi feels even more aggrieved, especially her parents, but also feels unfair to their daughter.
Because it is Lin Miaoke who appears in the program, the name of singing this song is also Lin Miaoke, and it is Lin Miaoke who is praised, and the three words of Yang Peiyi have never been mentioned in the TV screen.
A seven-year-old, she needs to be praised and respected because she doesn't know how much effort she has put in behind her back in order to sing this song well.
In order to add a force to the Olympics, little Yang Peiyi rehearsed hard all day, but in the end, there was nothing for her, and no one would feel comfortable in her heart.
Fortunately, Yang Peiyi's psychological loss did not last for a few days before it was balanced in another way, and it was her elementary school teacher who comforted her.
At the opening ceremony of that year, Yang Peiyi was held by the teacher's small hand and walked onto the stage, and then sang the classic "Singing the Motherland" again.
At that moment, Yang Peiyi became the focus of the stage, and also experienced the mood of singing this song in front of everyone, although the stage was a little small, the audience was a little small, but her heart was warm.
Especially after a song, the applause was thunderous, the principal took the initiative to run up and give her a big hug, the classmates praised her for singing well, her efforts were finally affirmed, and a happy smile finally appeared on her face.
At this point, her lost mood was slowly repaired, which was enough for a seven-year-old child.
For fame and fortune, she does not need, her parents also rejected these things, many media learned the truth of the matter, they ran to her home to interview, but were rejected by Yang Peiyi's parents.
They don't want their daughter to be exposed to the public or get too much attention, they just want her to grow up healthy and happy and live a happy childhood that should have belonged to her.
But on the other hand, Lin Miaoke's parents did not think so, especially Lin Miaoke's mother, in her opinion, fame should be early, and when the opportunity comes, it is necessary to try to seize it.
Otherwise, if you miss it, you may not have it for a lifetime.

Although the fake singing storm has caused Lin Miaoke's reputation to decline, black and red are also red, and there are still many merchants looking for cooperation.
For the "enthusiasm" of the merchants, Mother Lin's attitude is also very clear, and all the cooperation that can make money is not rejected.
In those years, Lin Miaoke took over a lot of commercial performances, and when he was busy, he had to run several venues a day, and often flew around in the sky, like a big star.
Because she was too busy, Lin's mother even quit her job as a university professor for her daughter's "money way" and became her daughter's agent.
In order to catch up with the scene, the mother and daughter came and went in the wind and rain, wind and rain, even if the school opened, they could not resist Lin Miaoke's gold-digging road, so that the school had been open for many days, and she and the classmates were not familiar with the department.
But for these, Mother Lin and Lin Miaoke don't care at all, after all, in their eyes, making money is the most important, as long as they can make money, the rest doesn't matter.
Therefore, she went to the Spring Festival Gala, filmed advertisements, filmed film and television dramas, participated in commercial performances everywhere, and became the image spokesperson of many brands, even including women's hospitals.
Yes, you read that right, it was the women's hospital, and at that time she was only a teenager, a teenage girl, to endorse the women's hospital, and promote the "sex ward", can improve the fertility rate of infertility patients.
Think about it is funny, but for the sake of money, funny is funny, who let her have a good mother!
Not only that, the film and television dramas she participated in are even more interesting, and many of the scripts her mother gave her were dog blood romance films, including a play called "Fairy Lake".
Lin Miaoke in the play plays the childhood heroine, and the dog blood is that she actually fell in love with the well-known actor Chen Long and staged an intimate picture.
After the drama was broadcast, Lin Miaoke was once again on the hot search and fell into public opinion, but black and red are also red, as long as there is a topic degree, it means fame.
In order to make her daughter behave precociously, Lin Mu made great efforts in dressing and dressing, and the clothes she bought for Lin Miaoke were all dressed up by mature women.
After Lin Miaoke put it on, she did not say that she was old and old, and she lost the youthful vitality that she should have at this age.
So tossed, Lin Miaoke's academic performance is naturally poor and bad, when the college entrance examination, Nortel people do not want her, the Chinese drama does not want, the drama is not yet wanted.
In the end, she had to run from Beijing to Nanjing to go to school, and was admitted to the performance department of Nanjing University of the Arts.
It is reasonable to say that she has such good conditions, Nortel, Chinese opera, Shanghai opera and other colleges and universities should rush to be, but the arrogance and professional standards she showed at the interview site are really not flattering.
But one thing is certain, under the leadership of her mother in those years, she did make money, and the money was full of pots and pans, and the scenery was infinite.

Yang Peiyi, on the other hand, is different.
Because her parents refused to be interviewed and refused to let their children participate in various commercial performances, her childhood life was hardly affected by the 2008 Olympic Games.
However, because she loves to sing, Yang Peiyi's parents are very supportive of her, not only finding a professional teacher for her to tutor, but also letting her learn guitar, piano, violin and other instruments.
In her spare time, she also sang theme songs for many cartoons, such as "Don't Look At Me Just a Sheep" in "Pleasant Goat and Gray Wolf".
In junior high school, her interests became more extensive, in addition to music, she was also interested in science, and the articles she wrote won the second prize in essay competitions.
In addition, she went to the United States at the age of 16 to participate in the USAD competition and won the award, and at the age of 18, she won the NEC National Economics Challenge with the first overall score.
After graduating from high school, she went to the United States to study, achieved certain results in her academic research field, and formed her own band in her spare time.
In private, she put on sexy costumes, squatted in the bar and sang, transformed into the sexiest girl on the stage, holding the guitar and singing her, free and dashing.
I have to say that Yang Peiyi has lived out herself and lived a very real life, completely according to her own inner needs, living as she pleases.
Logically, the honors that Lin Miaoke won at that time should have belonged to her, but she did not bother with this, but through personal efforts, she also lived out wonderfully.
You may say that this is very unfair, yes, it is indeed unfair, but what else can you do but sigh twice, there is no other way but to work hard.
Fortunately, people who work hard will eventually reap unexpected happiness and success, Yang Peiyi has done it, and she has done a good job, she not only does her own professional knowledge, but also plays her favorite music.
At the anti-epidemic public welfare activities in 2020, she also participated in the recording of the public welfare song "Together" and cooperated with Lin Miaoke again.
But her voice, her interpretation and grasp of the song, completely crushed Lin Miaoke, who came from an art school.
She used her own strength to prove that she was no worse than Lin Miaoke, who had once been very popular, or even much better than her.

What about Lin Miaoke today?
Under the leadership of her mother, she has experienced a period of dividends and has also become popular, but when she grows up, her acting path seems to be instantly muted.
In 2021, Lin Miaoke graduated from university, when she was just 22 years old, and as a student who graduated from the performance department of an art college, this age should be the right time to show off her talents.
But Lin Miaoke in the market, it seems that it is not very popular, almost no one cares.
Judging from her acting experience, throughout 2021, she has not participated in the filming of a film and television drama, nor has she accepted any invitation to a variety show.
By this year, she had only recorded a public welfare song for the Beijing Winter Olympics, "Ice and Snow with Dreams", and it was still a chorus, and there was no other movement.
If there is no accident, this little sister's acting career is estimated to be like this, and there is almost no place for her in the film and television industry, after all, her acting skills are really bad.
In terms of singing, I have not been able to do it since I was a child, and now that I have grown up, I also belong to half a pound and eight two, and with the increase of age, it is difficult to have a big breakthrough.
Now 14 years later, Yang Peiyi plays music, engages in professionalism, and lives a dashing and comfortable life, while Lin Miaoke, although he graduated from the acting department, has no drama to shoot, and the gap between the two is the difference between heaven and earth.
As the saying goes, what cause is planted will get what results, and a life of quick success will eventually pay a price.
