In 2008, four days after the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games was broadcast, music director Chen Qigang suddenly broke the news in an interview that the song "Singing the Motherland", which was sung by a 9-year-old girl Lin Miaoke at the opening ceremony and moved hundreds of millions of People, was actually not the original voice of Lin Miaoke on the stage at that time, and the heavenly sound came from Yang Peiyi, a 7-year-old girl behind the scenes.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately stirred up thousands of waves, "It is too unfair to Yang Peiyi!" "How can I fake sing?" Doubts abound. The American "Time" magazine even selected Lin Miaoke's mouth-to-mouth fake singing as one of the top ten scandals of the year.
Director Zhang Yimou explained the truth of Lin Miaoke's fake singing to her mouth when she participated in an interview with "Thirteen Invitations" in 2018: "She was really singing, but she didn't know that her microphone had been turned off, and her singing was only heard by a few staff members around her."
Zhang Dao admitted that at that time, this "two into one" treatment method was inappropriate, and the international broadcaster also recognized the operation of such a situational performance based on the consideration of the viewing experience.
Chen Qigang later confessed: "This can be said to be a last-minute choice." This sentence "unavoidable" speaks to the bitterness of adults who take care of the overall situation. Even adults can only listen to the arrangement, netizens frantically pursue the responsibility of a 9-year-old child at the time, is it also a little inappropriate.
01, ignorant child star, unlimited potential
Lin Miaoke was born in Beijing in 1999 to a family of scholars. Grandpa Lin Kai is a famous Chinese painter, father Lin Hui is a newspaper reporter, mother Liu Zheping is a college teacher, and Big Bo Lin Yang is a cartoonist.
Lin Miaoke has been influenced by a lot of art since she was a child, she looks sweet, she also likes to sing and dance, and the camera is full of sense.
When she was 6 years old, a director had a discerning eye and invited Lin Miaoke to shoot an advertisement with Zhao Wei, it is said that her sense of lens is no worse than that of "Little Swallow", because the advertising effect is particularly good, more and more directors pay attention to her.
Lin Miaoke studied at Xizhong Street Primary School in Dongcheng District, Beijing, and she has been shooting film and television dramas since she was 8 years old, and her acting experience has become more and more extensive. Teacher Mao, who was the school's director of teaching at the time, said: "This child has 2 years of vocal music, 4 years of dance foundation, and his academic performance is also among the best." By 2008, during the summer vacation of Lin Miaoke's third grade of elementary school, a major opportunity had emerged.
02, assist in the Olympic Games, the wind and water
In 2008, china was nervously preparing for the Olympic Games, and director Zhang Yimou took over the difficult task of opening the Olympic Games. In order to reflect the childlike effect interspersed with the majestic momentum, a children's solo program was set up at the opening ceremony, requiring the performers to look and have good pitch, but the project team never found the right person.
Lin Miaoke has filmed a group of Olympic promotional films, one of which was to do peace pigeon flying with a group of children. It was Lin Miaoke's incomparably natural performance in front of the camera that made her look at Zhang Dao, and then she was lucky enough to receive an interview invitation from the Olympic Organizing Committee.
Lin Miaoke's appearance and temperament are excellent, but the singing pitch is not satisfactory, and the pitch of another selected girl, Yang Peiyi, is better. Because Yang Peiyi was in the period of changing teeth at that time, and the lack of front teeth that affected the perception was more, the gap between the teeth would be exposed when singing, and the organizing committee was in a dilemma.
Obviously, a solo program can only have one performer.
In the end, the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games adopted a compromise plan for the sake of pleasing the audience, With Lin Miaoke appearing in the front desk and Yang Peiyi dubbing in the background, a decision that directly contributed to the well-known "Olympic Girl" Lin Miaoke's mouth-to-mouth false singing incident at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games.
Despite the existence of negative public opinion of "false singing girl", Lin Miaoke opened her popularity after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the invitations continued. Lin Miaoke has frequently appeared in major media and performing arts companies, and has starred in film and television works such as "There is a Beautiful Man in the North" and "Priceless Treasure", and has also received many commercial announcements such as the opening ceremony of Christmas and the opening ceremony of the game experience hall.
Lin Miaoke gained a group of support groups that loved her, the team members called themselves "Miao", and some netizens said that Lin Miaoke was the youngest "girl".
In the early days of fame, Lin Miaoke was still quite famous, in the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Lin Miaoke played the young Lin Daiyu to a wonderful portrait, and director Li Shaohong was deeply impressed by this little girl: "Miaoke is very spirited in performance, and one point is transparent." The two actors who play Lin Ruhai (played by Liu Boying) and Jia Yucun (played by Du Gonghai) in the play also affirmed Xiao Miaoke's performance.
In 2009, when filming "Beauty in the Heart" in Hengdian, screenwriter and producer Yu Zheng praised the little girl: "Miaoke acting is very real, the young age and senior actors are not afraid of the scene at all, and they will take a small book to write down the precautions one by one, which is quite hard."
03, the star road is bumpy, and it has been criticized
Lin Miaoke's mother resigned as her agent after her daughter became famous, helping her to negotiate various advertising and film and television drama contracts and filming. Maybe Lin Mu is a qualified university professor, but apparently she is not a qualified agent.
Mother Lin did not help her daughter plan her career direction. In the following years, Lin Miao's various commercial performances were disorganized. 14-year-old Lin Miao can do publicity for the new "sex ward" set up in an infertility hospital; Exposed to ask for sky-high advertising fees; In the costume drama "Fairy Lake", Lin Miaoke even had a relationship with Chen Long, an actor 23 years older than himself.
The family did not properly guide the girl who became famous prematurely, and in the face of the influx of media, there was a lack of awareness of protection for her daughter. Lin Miaoke became a tool for crazy gold sucking. The focus of external public opinion has also made Lin Miaoke physically and mentally exhausted.
Because the false singing incident has been repeatedly mentioned, for several years public opinion has almost one-sidedly used "black" Lin Miao for fun. She was ostracized at school, and people vented their aversion to injustice on her. She does recess exercises on the playground and is deliberately shoved. Performing at school will be deliberately applauded by the front row of students. Even sharing daily life on Weibo will be maliciously speculated. In the face of the keyboard man's insults, Lin Miaoke once closed Weibo comments.
Although there is a lot of negative news, it does not hide Lin Miaoke's versatility, she has dabbled in folk dance, calligraphy, flute and piano. The most valuable thing is that Lin Miaoke's love for stage performance has never weakened.
In 2016, Lin Miaoke participated in the red main theme movie "Warrior", jointly produced by Beijing and Sichuan-related units, playing a brave Sichuan girl who led the way for the Red Army and fought with the Red Army.
Lin Miaoke still has to be serious as always in filming, not afraid of the strong ultraviolet rays of the plateau, the filming environment is difficult, and the living conditions are poor. She will post on Weibo to expose the poisonous insects raging, and the crew will be recruited by almost everyone, and encourage everyone to persevere and win.
Chuan Meizi's role setting requires ragged clothes, unkempt faces, and dark skin, which is in great contrast with the beautiful urban female image played by Lin Miaoke in the past, she also does not care, and often consults the seniors of the crew, and every shot strives to restore the real state of the Red Army experience.
In 2017, Lin Miao could participate in the art exam, and the media chased and blocked her outside the examination room. An interview video after the interview in Beiying made her a hot search again, "Shaking her head is too contrived" "Do you still think you are a child star?" The comments of netizens were merciless.
Lin Miaoke played a stable role in the subsequent college entrance examination, and was finally admitted to Nanjing University of the Arts with a total score of 404 points. This is a good result for Lin Miaoke. Because she has played a normal level, Nanyi itself is also an art institution with a strong teaching force. However, netizens ridiculed her for not being able to pass the first echelon of the North Shadow, the chinese drama, the ridicule of the play is still endless.
04, independent, the future can be expected
In 2020, Lin Miaoke responded to the false singing incident of that year for the first time in an interview. She is very grateful to director Zhang Yimou for his kindness, and also said that times have changed, and she has learned how to face negative public opinion.
Lin Miaoke said: "Get used to the fact that there are always people who don't like you, what kind of person you are, maybe only the closest people understand, don't be confused, just be yourself." For people who don't understand themselves, Lin Miaoke said with a smile: "I think everything has to be faced, time can change people's views."
Lin Miaoke said that she was lucky to meet a good mentor in college. The teacher taught her that while learning to act, she should not lose herself, and she should live a wonderful life inside and outside the play. She has learned how to face negative emotions and how to face external pressures.
In recent years, Lin Miaoke has changed a lot and become assertive. In the school drama "Thunderstorm" performance, she dared to break through herself and play Qingyi, instead of hua Dan as others thought. The teacher's sentence "Acting is not bad" made her feel quite pleased.
In terms of dressing style, Lin Miaoke has also matured a lot, and will no longer wear clothes that do not match the age as before. She learned to take care of Weibo herself, and she will also have the same troubles as her peers, Lin Miaoke laughed at herself: "Others lose weight is to insist on a period of time to be beautiful, I have been losing weight."
Lin Miaoke's parents are no longer as clingy to her as before. Before leaving home for 14 days to shoot variety shows, Lin Miaoke was not used to the days without parents around, and had to video with his parents every day to alleviate anxiety, and now his parents can't come to Nanjing twice or three times a year. Lin Miaoke has grown from a child star who lacks self-awareness under the control of his parents to an independent literary and art lover.
Epilogue:
In 2021, Lin Miaoke completed his university studies. The former "China's first child star" prematurely accepted the gift of fate, and the price that had been marked in secret also allowed Lin Miaoke to taste the taste of life. Now, Lin Miaoke, who has gradually matured, realizes that the most important thing is to find her own value, and she admitted in an interview that she may not become an actor in the future, but will continue to work in art.
Lin Miaoke is still a 23-year-old little girl, she has enjoyed the thrill of fame, but also experienced the pain of being pointed out by thousands of husbands, her life is still very long, I sincerely wish her to live her own wonderful, embrace a better tomorrow.
